Blowfly

A prolific songwriter with more than twenty-five albums, Blowfly embraces what many of his critics fear and misunderstand: wild and freaky sex. The lewd lyricist extraordinaire released his first album in 1978, and in 1996 alone put out seven LPs and two compilations, including The Best of Blowfly: Analthology. With a charismatic voice somewhere between James Brown and Ol' Dirty Bastard, Blowfly pulls no punches, detailing graphic trysts and sexperimental scenarios with a cocky flamboyance that few possess. Thick Funk grooves support his tales perfectly, with giggling girls occasionally providing background squeals. His libido-laden lyrics may be shocking to some, but Blowfly's relevance cannot be denied. His no-holds-barred style has influenced many rappers, from Too Short and 2 Live Crew to Lil' Kim and Akinyele.
