Sutter Kain-L.O.V.E. review by John M. Ellison IV

From the rapper who brought you “Slaughterhouse”, “Cannibal Ferox” and “Kain Made Me Do It” I bring to you “Sutter Kain L.O.V.E. (Life Obsessive Violent Emotions).” Instead of the expected blood splattered nightmares of previous titles, Sutter Kain shows an emotional yet still infuriated side over being heartbroken. Instead of the usual sampling of the endless array of “suffix-core” subgenres he samples “I Remember” by singer/songwriter Damien Rice.

Kain’s usage of Rice’s “I Remember” sets the tone for a heart-felt break up letter over what some would consider an unlikely sample. But, judging from his past productions an unorthodox sample should be expected. “L.O.V.E. (Life’s Obsessive Violent Emotions) compliments the meaning of the Damien Rice. What I’m fascinated by is how he pasted a song that has a 3/4 waltz beat over a 4/4 beat.
