About Me
Populus Does Rap Guy-ing .
I Have Been Doing So For The Last Nine Years , Making ALOT Of Money.
( Oh , The Sweet Smell Of Success. )
Everything I Own, I Earned . I'm Trying To Be More Simple .
Rap Is Something I Do To Make Money For Writing All Nice Like , Yup ,Yup , Yup .
( " I Owe Alot Of People, Alot . " )
I DO NOT LOVE HIPHOP .
I Love Few Things ... HIPHOP Is Not One Of Them .
No Idea , Or Ideals Should Be Personified In That Way .
And By The Way, Mos Def, Rakim, And Guru Don't Like You , Either .
( But They Love Your Paper !!! )
However , With That Written ,
I Will Not Sell/Endorse , Any Music Without True Effort ... That's A Promise .
If You Endorse This Effort , You Get Quality Product .
We Deserve That Much .
My Current Catalog Includes 6 Full-Length Releases.
( 4 Available ... With 2001's 'Able Since Prenatal'
And 2002's 'Too Tired To Die' Out Of Print .)
With Hundreds Of Live Performances Under My Belt,
( Where My Nuts Live.)
And The Help Of A Few Great Friends ,
I Have Managed To Hash Out An Ugly Ole' Character With A Deviant Charm , Warmly Embraced In Circles Of Drunken Hooligans And Literary Art Critics,
The Same .
I'am In The Business Of The Great Rip-Off,
But Not Here To Swindle You ...
Just Eager To Share Good, Relevant Music, And Be Compensated For That Effort.
Thank You For That Continued Opportunity .

Broken Complex Presents ...
Stump 'n' the general populus'
"Things Are Looking Up"
OR
It Marks The Return Of An Every-Man Emcee.
( If By "Every-Man" You Mean, Hitting The Road For A 45-Minute Commute Every Day, Having Big Fat Puppy Dogs, Workin' Long Hours, Drinking Beers And Smoking Granddaddy , All While Writing Rhymes About Everything From Trips To Mexican Strip Clubs, Life In The Central Valley, To The Struggles Of Just Trying To Live, Then ,Yeah ... "Every-Man". )
Think Al Bundy, Rapper, Rather Than Selling Shoes.
Birthed On A Steady Diet Of 80's Pop Culture ( Oh , Punny ), Cartoons, Professional Wrestling, Video Games, Punk Rock, And, Of Course, Pizza ( Can't Forget Pizza ), "Things" Represents The Average, Above Average, Human Being. We All Have A Little Bit Of "Things" Inside Of Us: Wit, Cynicism, Frustration, Story-Telling And A Tad Bit Of Clever Poetry.
Rumor Has It That The Album Contains 22 Tracks, Told In Both First And Third Person.
Wow.
Combined With The Talents Of Central Cali's Hottest Beatsmiths, The Beat Farmers ( Hecktik and F-Plus ), Stump 'n' the general populus' Are Happy To Offer An Opus To Living Life Just To Survive.
"Things Are Looking Up" Helped Carve pop's Niche As An Emcee That Transcends The Stereotypes Usually Attributed To Blah , Blah , Yakkitty , Blah , Shmack , Rhetoric , Blah , Hip, Hopitty, Hop (Are You Still Reading This Schtick?)
He's Not Thuggin, Gang-Bangin', Slanging Drugs, Gettin' High Or Pimpin'.
( Well, Maybe He Endulges In Lil', Itty, Biddy Of Dem Last Two , But It's All Part Of His Nature. )
So You Should Buy This Mug , You Nuck-Nuck .
Thank You
