After slogging through the painfully overrated series, the Walking Dead (didn't even finish it... seriously, what the fuck people? Are our standards that low? Don't open a can of philosophical worms, then abandon it to go on a tour of repetition & hollow struggle), I am so pleased to finally have my hands on a series that takes the questions it raises seriously enough to make the bloodshed secondary to the personal/political struggle.
However, that's not why I'm here today. No, it's to discuss the appearance of one character, Parco Delgado.
Who I was so pleased to see was so obviously modeled on Sen Dog, from Cypress Hill.
For the kiddies out there, who don't know, and have no respect for real rap (not hip-hop, not entirely gangsta, but hard as fuck & miles high), Cypress Hill came up in the late '80s, and joined the ranks of Public Enemy & NWA, as something truly original, a little scary, and -not incidentally- reppin' the Latino pride.
Hand on the Pump:
