Blaque Spurm – Spurmacidal Tendencies (Deluxe Edition CD) (1994-2025) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

This album simply wouldn’t fly in 2025, with a generation that’s been overexposed to pornographic imagery. The Houston-based rap crew Blaque Spurm don’t help their cause, considering songs from the 1994 LP “Spurmacidal Tendencies” have names like “Jizm” and “Gravy Techniques”. Their fascination with man-milk is splattered throughout an album that’s not really about sex at all. It’s solid, jazzy boom-bap that’s entirely familiar, perfectly serviceable, but nothing particularly memorable. Purists will argue that it’s still better than 95% of modern Hip-Hop, and I’m inclined to agree, but it’s also understandable how this fell into obscurity not long after it was released.

In the early 1990s, Black (or Blaque) was often found in artists’ names, not because it was suddenly deemed cool to be Black, but because there was an increased sense of pride in one’s Blackness. Groups like Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, Brand Nubian, and the whole Native Tongues movement – Afrocentricity and Black pride wasn’t just prevalent in Hip-Hop, it was one of its defining elements. At the same time, you saw the arrival of Black Sheep and Black Moon, before Black Thought, Blaq Poet, Blak Twang et al embraced the color in their names too. By 1996, Blaque Sperm wasn’t a silly name at all, if anything, it was taking the Black naming convention back to its origins, in the scientific sense.
