Watt has always embodied the full-on punk aesthetic, but he used to rock an N.W.A. sticker on his bass because he felt that rap music was built on the same D.I.Y. mentality as punk.
At any rate, most know Watt from his stints with The Minutemen, fIREHOSE, but his second solo album, Contemplating the Engine Room, is an amazing musical tour de force from start to finish.
This track, however, is one of my all-time favorites (and the Spike Jonze video taps into Watt's hip-hop connection)
