Today in WTF: Antoine Dodson's "Bed Intruder Song" Remixed as a Bizarre Gangsta Warning to Snitches (NSFW: Watch + Free Download)

Isaiah Toothtaker co-opts a meme to warn his enemies of imminent death.
In his new song "Intruder," Tucson rapper, brawler and tattoo shop owner Isaiah Toothtaker puts an impressively aggro spin on Antoine Dodson's "Bed Intruder" web hit. Wavves drummer Jacob Safari provides the beat--made from the marching band version of the original--while Isaiah delivers a menacing message to any who would cross him. It's an anti-snitch opus hailing from his pending January 25 LP, Illuminati Thug Mafia. Isaiah is the co-founder of the rising, L.A.-connected rap crew Machina Muerte and, trust us, he's earned his name. Toothtaker was kind enough to offer West Coast Sound debuts on both the MP3 and the horrifyingly NSFW video debut for "Intruder." Could you say no to the face above?

First, the video, which cobbles together footage of Isaiah looking handsomely terrifying whilst brandishing a hammer, a creepy animation, and Faces of Death-style footage of violence and gore (the latter edited by our friend Walter Gross). Take cover:

vid is DOOOOPE. love the gore and the mulitple screens. Isaiah is THE MAN. Gotta give it up to WALTER GROSS for all the crazy images he arranged on the bottom right screen. WG is puttin' out a gang of dope vids lately and i wanna give props to that as well. LA needs more raw gritty stuff aside from its more renown chill and laid back style of underground music. Gotta give it up to these guys for puttin' out the real raw nitty gritty and re-defining that LA gangsta shit.

fuck all the hate, it's good. catchy in that alterna-hop-grinder-DIY-production way, relevent with the memes of a digital community and still G'd from the cleats up...i accidentally found his website after astronautilus retweeted some shit...been listening and grabbinshit off itunes since. and that a bunch of people talk shit and the only response they get is the middle and a message of overcoming odds, from an artist known in other mediums as well, shows moxy and class...imma roll one to that.

The Good, The Bad and the ugly. We love it all. ISAIAH TOOTHTAKER & MACHINA MUERTE has proven itself many times over and will continue to do so. There is no argument.

I like the song & the video! Isaiah definitely has a unique voice & vision, an extensive vocabulary and impressive flow. Was it perfect? No, but I dare anyone in this comment section who is complaining about the video to produce one that's better....or even remotely close!

I agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to accuse the writer of giving "horrible AZ bedroom production shit" press for free ink AND to insult the artist by assuming he must be "homies" with the writer to get such press, is honestly just plain fucking retarded. I don't know any other way to say it.

Respect what the man has done and do your research before you start flapping your trap.

ISAIAH TOOTHTAKER:"Local business owner for 5 years, held numerous art events, musical events, collaborations with various other local businesses, pioneered various weekly club nights, sold more physical units than any other "rapper" in Tucson, toured nationally, headlined Rialto theatre with over 600 in attendance, co-founded machina muerte a now record label with digital distribution with one of the biggest online labels(alpha pup) as well as taken over the world's largest mc battle circuit (grindtime), multiple media projects & videos, in addition to independently releasing over 5 records and collectively over 50 projects"

Thanks Lzrd. Though I prefer the abridged bio: "ISAIAH TOOTHTAKER of MACHINA MUERTE, infamous rapper, convicted multiple felon, over 400 witnessed bare knuckle street fights, founder & co-owner of the prestigious tattoo parlor Staring Without Caring in Tucson." Boo-ya.

Yeah..do your research, kid. Dude is far from being a "studio gangsta". His street credibility is clean as it gets. Also if you really think he's fake why not stop by his shop and see whats good! People ain't hard to find. ITM!!!

Who you is, mane? As a journalist, I'd LOVE to hear the work of the self-proclaimed Genghis Kahn of rap. My yurt's trembling just imagining the sound.

This song/video is just awful. I gotta agree with Aero.

I would gladly listen to the song if the video didn't go along with it. Personally I could have gone without it, but as a fellow artist of sorts - I use my words in a different way - I understand the need for expression. Not my flavor.

Seriously... the production on that beat is like a kid did it in fruity loopz 10 years ago then posted it up on his friendster account for his fellow 10th graders to comment on. The internet is a tool for distribution of information and product, no some bastardized system for oyu to promote your homies crappy music for free ink work...

and how is your bitch rant helping the distribution of information and product online? You're one in a billion. At least this guy is making music for people like me who want to hear something interesting and new. Sorry every good musician can't come out of Los Angeles. FUCK YOU!

its one thing to give constructive criticism and publicly dislike/disagree with something and another thing to be an outright shit-talkin HATER and be disrespectful. and thats what you are, a DISRESPECTFUL HATER. if you dont like it, go read another article that you DO like. i really doubt you take the time to go on other reviews of much LAMER videos like the latest black eyed peas or lady gaga video review thread and express how terrible the video/music is and how the writer is bringing attention to it only because he/she got paid mad money to write about commercial crap instead of getting paid to write about stuff they really give a fuck about. i give chris props for taking risks and keeping it true to what he appreciates and opening doors for all the DIY artists so that they can get some cred and have motivation to keep doing what they do and improving their craft/art/talent.

OOOH! DAAAAAYYYUUUUM. You told me, son. Well, except for the fact that I (the writer) haven't got a single tattoo and have been covering emerging outsider rap movements for more than a decade. Sometimes they don't jibe with others' tastes. Sometimes the music is raw, still developing as the compelling story pushes it forward. Sometimes I'm just plain wrong. BUT, I do it because I care, not because I'm looking for handouts or daps from dudes with tattoo parlors. I like shit that pricks my ears and points to something I haven't yet heard, or was dying to hear again. I like Isaiah's stuff. So sue me?
