DARK COMEDY -COLOURED-

One famous Oscar Wilde aphorism claimed: 'if you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise, they'll kill you.' Open Mike Eagle lacks the capacity to tell anything but the truth. In a nation that prizes self-aggrandizing buffoons and artful liars, morbid humor might be the sanest response-a tourniquet to stop the toxicity from spreading.??If this sounds heavy, it's probably because it is. Dark Comedy, the Mello Music debut from the critically revered Los Angeles rapper, is mostly about the failure of Karl Marx's Proletariat Revolution. Yet its brilliance stems less from the novelty of its ideas than from the ingenuity of its wordplay, its caustic whimsy, and infectious melodies.??Tracklist?Dark Comedy Morning Show?Qualifiers?Thirty Ego Raps?Golden Age Raps?Very Much Money (Ice King Dream)?Doug Stamper (feat.
