KENNY BEATS & MAC DEMARCO FREESTYLE | The Cave: Season 3 - Episode 2

Cave Season 3, Episode 2. Back at it with ¼ Italian Mac DeMarco. We went for sort of a Godfather pt. II theme with this one. The cigar smoke wafted us into an osteria with every pasta shape you could imagine. Fusilli. Orecchiette. Tagliatelle. You name it. The music just developed organically from there. At some point in this video you may wonder: what the fuck am I watching? That’s a great question and I’m so glad you asked. But I don’t know the answer. What I do know is that I’m scared. I’m scared because for the first time, my anonymous identity as KZbin description author was almost compromised in this episode. I might as well get ahead of it so yes, I confess: I’ve been living in the attic of The Cave now for several months unbeknownst to Kenny or any of the show’s guests. I don’t take up much space, nor do I make much of a mess up there, so I don’t see why it’s such a big deal. I make my little meals every day, blow big gas (second hand from downstairs mostly), and I spend weeks at a time writing these KZbin descriptions. It’s my only creative outlet and it’s sacred to me. Rent in Los Angeles is steep as ever, and DOTS only pays me 15k per description. I need to cut costs somewhere.
The Cave is a bi-weekly freestyle series hosted by Kenny Beats featuring a new artist each episode. One 10 minute beat from Kenny, 16-32 bars from a friend, every other week.

@@anandbohm4274 I don't know if this was part of your joke but back in nineteenth and in the first half of the twentieth century poor people used to smoke the end of the cigar from the lit part, being careful not to burn their tongue. They did this in order not to waste the end of it, and also because the smoke hits harder and it's tastier. Source: my grandfather.
