Ninja High School - It's All Right to Fight

Ninja High School is a lo fi hip hop/punk/electro band by a bunch of white indie kids from Toronto who sound like a mix of Pavement and Public Enemy.

Even though the song isn't terribly original ("Mama Said Knock You Out") and is part joke and part party anthem, it's still fun and still more sinister and menacing than anything from the flacid new 50 Cent album. While Eminem is on his 8th song about his daughter, and 50 has become the thing he hated and is now singing fucking Ja Rule like love songs, Ninja High School promises that "You're going home in a fucking ambulance!" and that hip-hop can still be exciting when you fly by your own rules.

This mp3 is from a forthcoming 7" as part of Tomlab's "Alphabet Series". The release is limited to 500, so the band is offering both songs as mp3s on their site.
