The Weeping Worm is the fourth extended play by American rapper Lil Ugly Mane. It was self-released via Bandcamp on October 26, 2014. Guest appearances include DJ Dog Dick and Nickelus F.[3] The EP also contains a video for "End Your Whole Shit".[4]
Release
[edit]The Weeping Worm was released on Lil Ugly Mane's Bandcamp on October 26, 2014, for $3. It wasn't released on any other streaming platform, although the tracks "Passion Sceptre/Dert Mysery" and "Hideous Disfigurements" were later included in the compilation album "Songs That People Emailed Me About Asking Why I Hadn't Put Them on Streaming Platforms", which was released on multiple streaming platforms in 2019.[5]
Slowed down version of the track "Nickelus F-Days Like This" was also later included in the album "Trick Dice" in track "SIDE A" by Nickelus F and Shawn Kemp, but it is released under the name "LUCID SLOWED".[6]
The track "Passion Sceptre/Dert Mysery" was previously included on vinyl alongside with "On Doing An Evil Deed Blues" in 2014.[7]
"Underwater Tank"
[edit]The Weeping Worm originally contained six songs, including "Underwater Tank" featuring Antwon.[8] This song was, however, removed from Bandcamp sometime between April 2017 and March 2019. This was most probably due to allegations against Antwon in 2018.
Reception
[edit]Etan Khanal from student-run music magazine "The B-Side" gave the EP a positive review stating: "This EP couldn't have come out at a better time. A darker, more vile Lil' Ugly Mane release is the perfect soundtrack to a late-night lurking through the streets."[9]
