Details: Inspired by everything from the Neil Young and Waylon Jennings records his construction worker dad used to listen to when Everlast (born Erik Schrody) was a kid, to his mother’s Motown albums and classic ’80s rappers, White Trash Beautiful is hip-hop the way only Everlast can do it: raw, bluesy and with his broken heart pinned to his sleeve.The rapper brings his hard side on the sinister « Warning, » a bouncy, gun-blazing series of boasts in which Everlast cautions, « Back of the liquor store, trying to break these chumps/ bunch head in a circle, daddy’s handin’ out lumps. » Lest you not get the message, he snipped a screaming sample from an old House of Pain song for the grinding acoustic rocker « Pain, » and he turns out to be less than a holy roller on « God Wanna, » in which the rapper struggles to balance the devil on one shoulder with the angel on his other.Since leaving House of Pain in 1997, Everlast has consistently reinvented his sound, traveling from the thuggish, good time drinking hip-hop of the group’s Irish-themed anthems to the introspective hit « What It’s Like » from the multi-platinum « Whitey Ford. » The journey continues on White Trash Beautiful, on which he tempers his more streetwise hip-hop side with raw acoustic tales about loneliness and heartbreak, including the lush, humble ballad « Broken. » Recorded mostly on his own dime in New York and Los Angeles between record deals, White Trash Beautiful is the sound of Everlast making peace with his past, admitting his weaknesses and trying to put his life back together.
