This is another Adult Swim/Cartoon Network release. I first heard about this album during an episode of The Boondocks. At first, it sounds like southern rap at its best; superchill, smooth beats and laid back rhymes. It’s much in the vein of Outkast’s classic, Southernplayalisticcadillacmuzik. But as you delve deeper into the album, Witchdoctor’s skill becomes more evident. The Diary of an American Witchdoctor is more than just a filler, a stop-gap for one of Dungeon Family’s less commercially succesful members. It’s an incredibly intelligent album, one that reminds us of the true essence of hip hop. It’s just a shame artists like Witchdoctor, don’t get the same love as inferior southern hip hop “artists” like Flo Rida (I fucking hate that guy. It’s FLORIDA, you illiterate FUCK.)

This is my favorite track on the album, The Barrel (featuring The Wheeler Boys).
