Tom Hardy, known for roles in films like “The Dark Knight Rises” and the “Venom” movies, has released a collaborative rap album titled “Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer” with the group Czarface. The album is filled with references to movies, comic books, and literature.
Hardy, performing under the alias Frankie Pulitzer, collaborated with Czarface, which consists of duo 7L & Esoteric and Wu-Tang Clan’s Inspectah Deck. In the song “Raw Forever,” Hardy references Martin Scorsese’s “Bringing Out the Dead,” saying, “I’m Bringing Out the Dead like a paramedic out the Cage, directed by Marty.” He also alludes to Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin from the 2002 “Spider-Man” film, rapping, “I be somewhat of a scientist like Willem Dafoe / If you know then you know Goblin up crumbs.” Other references in the same song include Doctor Doom, DC Comics’ Sergeant Rock, and Sidney Lumet’s “Dog Day Afternoon.”
“Mad Technology” features namechecks of Stephen King books “Cujo” and “Misery.” Hardy includes a provocative line about the star of “Misery,” Kathy Bates: “I’d rather masturbate to Kathy Bates than hear you flow.” The song also references Marvel hero Thor and Shameik Moore, who voices Miles Morales in the “Spider-Verse” films and starred in “Dope.”
On “Grim-Visaged War,” Hardy recites a monologue from Shakespeare’s “Richard III” in a style similar to his performance as Bane in “The Dark Knight Rises.” A reference to “Titanic” appears on “Gnawing at My Rhyme Like a Poisonous Rat,” with Hardy rapping, “Yo, you act amused like DiCaprio scratching his pencils / To capture your figure you love the attention that’s all clear.”
While Hardy has not publicly discussed his work as Frankie Pulitzer, he has previously collaborated with Czarface and released a separate album, “Falling on Your Arse in 1999,” under the name Tommy No 1, alongside producer Edward Tracy, aka Eddie Too Tall.
