Scribbling Idiots - The Have Nots (CD)

Mark Twain referred to himself as “a scribbler of books.” Perhaps that’s one way to understand why some of the best emcees refer to themselves as “scribblers of rhymes.” Still, Scribbling Idiots is a strange name for a rap group. It doesn’t fit neatly within hip-hop’s current climate of hot-air braggadocio and no-skills posturing. In fact, a group with so much tried and true talent might actually need a self-deprecating name to keep them grounded. Enter Scribbling Idiots.JustMe and Cas Metah met at Scribble Jam 2002 in Cincinnati, OH. JustMe had paid dues in the L.A. Underground scene, receiving critical-acclaim in magazines such as Rap Sheet and topping the hip-hop charts at Mp3.com. It didn’t take long for Cas and JustMe to recognize each other’s like mindedness, and the duo began recording an album that eventually helped form a massive, worldwide crew.Included are producer MattmaN (IL), emcees: Mouth Warren (OH), Kaboose (MN), Elias (CA), Ruffian (OH) and producer/emcee Re:Flex (UK)
