2003: #9 - "The Seed"



(Not the official video.)

In what may end up being the biggest hit of the strange career of a lo-fi hip-hop singer-songwriter (!) who released one 100-minute album in 2002 and then basically vanished from the planet, Cody ChestnuTT croons the unforgettable and entirely unsexy refrain, "Push my seed in her bush for life", with such child-like gusto that hearing this song (and the rest of his self-proclaimed masterpiece The Headphone Masterpiece) almost makes you understand - why, of course this guy has disappeared forever, because he is insane, and is currently singing "The Seed" on a busted-up acoustic guitar in some Atlanta alleyway.

Thankfully, he isn't, and may have a follow-up album coming this year, but it wouldn't be hard to believe if he were.
