Basehead, also known as dc Basehead and Basehead 2.0, is an American alternative hip hop group formed by Michael Ivey in suburban Maryland in 1992. Basehead's
1992 debut album,
Play with Toys, was recorded at Ivey's
home with various studio musicians (hits:
Ode to My Favorite Beer, Not Over You,
2000 BC). Ivey formed a touring band for live performances, which contributed to Basehead's second album,
Not in Kansas Anymore (which contained what some consider his best song,
Split Personality).

Raise my left hand,

The greatest rap video ever: ... or at least in recent memory. England's DJ Format teams up with Reuben Fleischer and a breakdancing shark to produce a
