UP a COMING LOCAL ACTS
OLD WHITE WOMEN
Danger Mouse notwithstanding (and does that
even count anymore?), Athens hip-hop is a rela
tively small blip on the national radar (relative
to, say, Wyoming-based black metal). That said,
the members of Old White Women bring an aptly
lo-fi approach to their beats, rhymes and lives.
Sometimes known as MC Audrey Hepburn (AKA
Louis Weekley) and DJ Elizabeth Taylor (AKA
Cubenza, AKA Matt Williams), the duo sports a
handle that's only two-thirds ironic: the dudes
are, after all, young, male and Caucasian. Old
White Women is a boisterously cutting live act,
with the former half of the duo leaping across
the stage manically and the latter standing in
the back manning some kind of beat equipment.
Make no mistake, it's far too energetic to be cor
ralled in with the chin-stroking "backpacker" rap
scene. Their recent pairing with "Frankenstein-
rhyme" emcee Rorshak has proved to be a formi
dable combination, as proved at a recent Repent
show under the moniker Deaf Judges.

ing local acts.
Hip-hop duo Old White Women comprises (L to R) Louis Weekley and Matt Williams.
Q&A
Flagpole: What's your take on the Athens hip-hop scene?
Louis Weekley: Don't get me wrong, there are some folks in town I really enjoy, appreciate,
care about and make an effort to go check out when I can. In fact* I'm friends with most of
the kids in the hip-hop scene. I just feel like I'm on some other type of shit... I'd rather make
someone laugh, or show off some dope-ass beat, or throw out some ill wordplay rather than
plead with some Athens hip-hop townie boy to throw his hands up. I don't give a fuck what
you do with your hands.
FP: What's that guy in the back doing, exactly?
LW: He's kind of a fucxing space cadet, which lends to the idea of him just standing around
noddin' his head onstage, but the fact that he's such a space cadet also brings this out of the
ordinary psychedelic quality to a lot of his music.
The "hip-hop" music he's been making for the bitches is definitely non-traditional rap, in
cluding the samples he uses, instruments he uses, and the way he usually goes about making
the actual songs. We are trying to for that underground cutie liT hip-hop sound as far as the
lyrics go, and I hope that his beats give off that same cutesy, c^-the-cuff flavor.
FP: What advice can you offer to someone learning to freestyle?
LW: I think having a couple of friends around that are also in*o trying to rap is a really
important thing. Next, trying to say whatever the fuck you feel like, whether you're copying
someone else, or using someone else's lyrics, or whether you're repeating a bunch of dumb-ass
shit over and over again. Just try to stay lucid and fluid even if you're not rhyming. ,
Also, what's probably just as important as anything else is your confidence level.
FP: What can we expect from Old White Women in 2007?
LW: Well, we are trying to mix out the rest of our first little six- or seven-song EP called
Lil Ronnie. We are trying to mix it ourselves with Matt's shoddy-ass computer programs and it
seems like such a daunting, never-ending, never-good-enough task that we keep dicking with.
Hopefully we can have a solid, semi-professional-sounding product to start pawning off to
the peasants. Although we are going for that do-it-yourself feel for our first release, we don't
want to rush into anything and end up with something we're not proud about.
