This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Basehead is an Alternative Rock and Alternative Hip Hop group from Washington, D.C. usually comprised of Michael Ivey and whoever he can get to play with him. Ivey's 1992 release as Basehead, Play With Toys, was recorded by Ivey, who played the guitars, sung and contributed skit vocals on the album, and any musician friend that happened to drop by his house, contributing other instruments and DJ scratching. The album, whose lyrics focused on subjects ranging from drinking and pot smoking to heartbreak, politics and philosophy and sex, was critically acclaimed and a cult hit, and soon after, Basehead became a full-on band, which included DJ Clarence Greenwood, who would later switch his turntables for a guitar and found a successful solo career as Citizen Cope. The band's open-ended style gave them tours with bands like Beastie Boys, Stone Temple Pilots, and Ween. |
