Scribbling Idiots

about

Mark Twain referred to himself as “a scribbler of books.” Perhaps that’s one way to understand why some of the best emcees refer to themselves as “scribblers of rhymes.” Still, Scribbling Idiots is a strange name for a rap group. It doesn’t fit neatly within hip-hop’s current climate of hot-air braggadocio and no-skills posturing.

JustMe and Cas Metah met at Scribble Jam 2002 in Cincinnati, OH. JustMe had paid dues in the L.A. Underground scene, receiving critical-acclaim in magazines such as Rap Sheet and topping the hip-hop charts at Mp3.com. It didn’t take long for Cas and JustMe to recognize each other’s like mindedness, and the duo began recording an album that eventually helped form a massive, worldwide crew. Included are producer MattmaN (IL), emcees: Mouth Warren (OH), Kaboose (MN), Elias (CA), Ruffman (OH) and producer/emcee Re:Flex (UK). Realizing that live performances were near impossible with this line-up, the original duo decided to focus on their partnership. They released Scribbling Idiots Present JustMe & Cas Metah in 2004, and performed throughout the South and Midwest in support of the album. It was at one of these shows that they would meet another duo that had been making a name for themselves in the Cincinnati area. Theory Hazit and Wonder Brown had linked up around the same time that Just and Cas had. After r
