Title: Clutchy Hopkins?
Post by: ForDraftsSake on August 21, 2008, 12:49:47 PM
Anyone here heard his music?
 
Came across his work while looking up some videos on youtube, with the first track i heard of his being with Doom. Not ever having any quarrels with MF's efforts at making dope music, i was lead to looking up more stuff from this Clutchy Hopkins audio enigma of sort.

Sadly, no one actually knows who he (could be a she, so thats all inclusive to bra burners) is. Speculations stretch from it being possible pseudonyms of The Beastie Boys, Dj Shadow to Cut Chemist. Couldn't help but lough when i read that Madlib has been tossed into question too. With Stonesthrow's known inclinations with alter egos and infinite a.k.a's, I doubt it is, but then again who knows?

Yes, the idea that it could just be a middle-aged hippie on the run form officials in Czechoslovakia, living in a basement with a little more than a tambourine and some ism has crossed my mind, but i think I like their versions a tad bit better. I might be mad delayed, cause all the "hype" around him was sparked off early last year.

Some stuff of his

What's a trip is reading up on his supposed life. This site gives more links

Sorry for the double youtube inserts.
