Lazy Mutha Fucka
Encyclopedia
LMF also known as Lazy Mutha Fucka or Lazy Muthafucka, is a Cantonese hip-hop
group in Hong Kong
. The group, signed by Warner Music, was founded in 1993, disbanded in 2003 and regrouped in 2009. Some members of LMF are pursuing solo careers.
LMF is a Hong Kong band/rap group that write and perform original music, a rarity in a market dominated by commercialized and packaged Cantopop
. All members of the group hailed from poverty and their songs often depict life and struggle in the lower class; which created a lot of controversies due to the cursing and the subject matter. They are ostracized by the mainstream media for a variety of reasons; among them, their perceived negative influence on Hong Kong
youth, their promotion of the hip-hop culture and attitude, and their rough appearance that contrasted other well-dressed and clean-cut performers in the music industry.
LMF offers Hong Kong an alternative to Cantopop
. LMF remains one of the few, if not the only, well-known localized rap groups. LMF highlights the economic oppression
and social alienation
faced by the lower class of Hong Kong, all coming from Hong Kong's overcrowded public housing
.
LMS's attempt to establish a foothold in the highly commercialized and monopolized Hong Kong music industry that prefers looks over talent is widely considered to be a success despite achieving only moderate commercial sales, due to their longevity, their name recognition (mostly due to negative press), and the original form of music they created. They have a small but die-hard fan base in Hong Kong and Singapore.
Their last and final album, finalazy, was released just before their breakup in 2003.
LMF recently reformed in Early December 2009, 10 years after their debut release and organized the "Wild Lazy Tour". "The Wild Lazy Tour" included venues in Singapore and Hong Kong.
LMF did not have set members nor was it formed with intend to publish music; it was merely a banner under which musicians from different circles got together and played. 亞式 labeled his band as more of a club than a band. At the finale of each Dark Entry concert, various members from bands who performed that night would get on stage and performed under this loosely formed band, which would totaled well over fifteen players jamming together. Musicians from many talented Hong Kong bands: Anodize, Zig Zag, Zenith, Fraina, and Martyr had one time or another lend members to LMF at the Dark Entry concert.
Dark Entry lasted a few years before financial problems led to its discontinuation. With the disappearance of Dark Entry, 亞式 and LMF also went into hiatus.
. However, the collaboration between DJ Tommy and MC Yan went so well that they decided to form a band.
MC Yan had just left his long time band N.T. (New Territory) over creative differences (he wanted to incorporate hip hop into their music while his fellow band mates wanted to play strictly speed metal) and he wanted his vision in his new band. A well known and respected artist in the indie music circle, MC Yan had no trouble recruiting some of the best talent in Hong Kong: lead guitarist Kee (from the band Screw), rhythm guitarist Prodip, drummer Kevin, vocalists Kit and Phat.
Around this time heavy metal band Anodize, the most popular yet financially struggling indie band in Hong Kong decided to call it quit. All band members intended to retire from the music scene until they were approached by MC Yan and DJ Tommy, who were hoping to recruit Jimmy to play bass but were delighted when lead singer Wah and drummer/guitarist/keyboardist Davy decided to join too. A fourth member, Gary, joined the band as a part-time member. The addition of Anodize's former members added gravitas and musicianship to a group already loaded with talent. MC Yan decided to adopt the LMF name and the band was formally formed in 1998.
It's unclear what role, if any, founder 亞式 played in LMF's revival. Most critics attritube MC Yan (lead singer of N.T.) and DJ Tommy's influence for turning LMF into a mostly hip hop band, one that mixes rap with heavy metal/rock.
LMF dropped the Chinese name 重金屬同學會 and named themselves 大懶堂 (Lazy Hall). The band's English name was altered from Lazy Mother Fuckers to Lazy Mutha Fucka.
LMF became a band with set members instead of a "revolving door" type of band. Still, MC Yan told BC Magazine that he considers LMF more of a community than an actual band. He also said he's amazed at the smoothness of the creative process given so many members can have input. He attributes their creative success to all members having the same vision of where they want to take their music.

In the late nineties, LMF played at various clubs and generated a lot of buzz in the indie music scene. They released their self-titled debut album in 1998 under their own label - A.Room Production ("A Room Studio" is the name of the studio where they recorded the album. It's also the location where Anodize, Screw, and N.T. recorded before they joined LMF). The album features six songs and sold almost 100,000 copies worldwide, a feat that is unheard of for a Hong Kong indie band without backing from a major label. In 1999, they signed with Warner Music HK's independent label - DNA.
LMF's music can be described as a coherent mix of hip hop, rock, and thrash metal, with occasional funk or even reggae thrown in. The genius lies in their ability to seamlessly put together all genres. For example, "傲氣長存" features a thrash metal-like intro, evolves into a funk beat, turns into a brief hip hop mix before returning to the funk beat with rap vocal. The chorus is thrash metal with singing vocal and the interlude is speed metal with heavy guitar muting and rap vocal on top.
and attitudes in Hong Kong. They have a great influence on Hong Kong
popular culture
.
The title of their most popular song, "" (Hum Ga Ling), is one of the strongest cursing phrases in Cantonese mingled with English phrases like "You know what the fuck I'm sayin~" . In English, "Hum Ga Ling" literally means "Put one's entire family into hell (or death)." The song is packed with foul language in Cantonese and English. Since the public response of Hong Kong to the media was and is still very conservative, LMF continued to remain low key, though it was well received underground.
The emergence of LMF has also received HKEAA's attention. In 1999 HKASL Chinese & Chinese Culture Paper II (Cultural Problems), candidates have been asked to comment on the statement "Foul Songs Display True Art".
. The song encourages young Chinese to take pride of their rich Chinese ancestry
, culture, and history
, instead of pretending to be like the Westerners. Notable lines from the lyrics include:
A documentary, Dare Ya! (Cantonese title: 大你), was made about LMF, composed of interviews with different members of the rap group.
identity in which the youth of Hong Kong
should be proud of as illustrated in the song "1127" taking Bruce Lee
as a Chinese
role model.
Many of LMF's songs reflected the cultural problem of having a lack of an identity for today's youth to look up to and be proud of in the modern Hong Kong
society. In their song "債" (Debt), they stated that many Chinese parents send their children to the opposite side of the world only to have them grow up to be "Caucasians with yellow skin" (Cantonese lyrics: "") while the parents have distanced themselves with their children and are not assuming the responsibilities of raising them.
LMF criticised Hong Kong's music culture. They said in the song "傲氣長存" and "樂壇班霸" that Hong Kong is no place for music, but rather entertainment in the form of scandals created by the paparazzi
. They also criticised that producers can't make good music in a line that translates roughly as "if you don't fucking know how to be creative, then don't be so conceited."
In the song "冚家拎", the majority of the song criticised Hong Kong's corrupt society. They accused the paparazzi of making up fake news and making subjective opinions to sell their newspapers and magazines. They also expressed anger toward adult content and illegal gambling contents (soccer betting) found in newspapers.

Initially, 亞式 named his band 重金屬同學會(translation: Heavy Metal Students Association) and gave it an English name: Lazy Mother Fuckers.LMF did not have set members nor was it formed with intend to publish music; it was merely a banner under which musicians from different circles got together and played. 亞式 labeled his band as more of a club than a band.

The Revival
In 1996, a young unknown DJ from Hong Kong shocked many by defeating several favorites and finishing second place in the DMC World Championship. DJ Tommy's accomplishment made Hong Kong music executives took notice and soon the young DJ received financing to release a six-song self titled album. DJ Tommy solicited veteran underground rapper and graffiti artist MC Yan to be a guest vocalist. The release created minor controversy with slight cursing in one of the songs but sales overall was disappointing in a market dominated by commercialized CantopopCantopop

Disbanding and Reunion
LMF disbanded in 2003 mainly due to insufficient income. The reason for this was because they had too many members, with usually 10 in each concert, and the difficulty of acceptance of their music by the general public as their songs are somewhat controversial. They are now pursuing their own solo careers and new bands. Kit and Phat have formed 24Herbs, a rap group. Phat is also the lead singer of punk rock band, Hardpack, with Kevin on the drums. MC Yan has helped Edison Chen on several of his albums, making hip-hop and rap more accessible to mainstream audiences. On the underground side, MC Yan has been working with several MCs and has formed a new group, Yellow Peril. Davy is DBF and still active in the music scene, most notably as a drummer in various concerts for Eason ChanEason Chan
