Blowfly aka Clarence Reid, is an alter ego rapper with no filter. A 'filthy' performer who smuts up hits- pretty innovative if you ask me. There is nothing more creative than taking a pop hit and making it dirty. This is Blow Flys entire act. Clarence Reid on the other hand is a master song writer who has worked with KC and The Sunshine Band and Sam and Dave.
The party album or sexually explicet songs were his fun.. He took songs such as "Do The Twist" and made them "Suck My Dick". All in a days work. Party albums in the 70s were the rage. House party dance music with a sex loop- all the swingin' you'd need.
A new documentary takes a look at the now 66 year old artist. Still singin smut still wearing the cheesey super hero suit and incredibly unfamous. Iced T, Jello Biafra Chuck D, all take part in thie homage to Blowfly's legacy.
But when you get songs like "The Twelve Lays of Christmas" and "Shitting on The Dock of The Bay", and "I Wanna Be Fellated"- really where do you go from there?
There is alot to be said for parody- just ask Weird Al. But if you also have come serious hits in your catalog should you not be sitting poolside enjoying the high life?
See the trailer below for the smutty reality of it all
