God-des and She

by Anthony Glassman

Somewhere, at some time, someone has said to themselves, "I wish Eminem were a lesbian."

They probably continued, "I wish he were a really hot lesbian, with another luscious woman singing vocals."

Their prayers have been answered. Enter God-des and She.

With a flow that is often very reminiscent of Detroit's own bad boy, the expatriated Wisconsonian God-des now makes her home in New York, along with She, who sings her heart out on their songs. She and God-des moved there from Madison in 2004, and they're hitting it from coast to coast and everywhere in-between.

Their latest album, Stand Up, on a scale of one to ten, easily scores two hoots and a holler, as the kids say. Okay, they don't, but hip young dykes adore this dynamic duo, and with good reason.

On some of the tracks, God-des' devotion to Eminem is evident, either in her style or in the words themselves.

"It's a rumor, it's a secret, my opinion, better keep it to yourself, please don't tell anybody else, that Hollywood is a crock of shit, I bet 50 Cent has a really small dick, he makes up for it with a neck this thick," goes the lyrics for "Hollywood," before going over to She for a riff on the classic song by the same name.

God-des talks smack about more celebrities in that one track than most other rappers can work into an entire career.

The next track, "Lick It," is the most indepth instructional on cunnilingus ever put on a CD. It's dirty, raunchy and nasty-and anybody who isn't grossed out by dining at the Y will love it. So, yeah, some gay boys will run screaming from the room if the song is played, which probably makes it the perfect track to play as part of some bizarre party game... perhaps "Scare the Twink," or "Vaginaphobic Track and Field."

And, oy! the places she suggests putting the pinky...

The next track gets much more serious. "So Gone" is about a relationship gone south, and highlights She's vocals in a major way. Her soaring take on the lyrics is tearjerking, while God-des' rap is caught somewhere between anger, hurt and sorrow, the classic cocktail of a breakup.

DJ Pain 1 shines on "Give Them What They Want," laying down some dark and fuzzy beats, providing a striking counterpoint to She's vocals. He also busts out some scratching on the turntables, tying together a great hip hop track.

By the time God-des gets to the end of “I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend" in concert, every single person is singing along to the chorus. Everyone. It's quite a remarkable thing to hear. It's another of those songs with the Eminem vibe, and it's a riot. Anyone who doesn't laugh at the last line needs a humor transplant.
