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 and disbanded in 2003. The members from the disbanded LMF are now pursuing their solo careers.
Their songs are very controversial because of their influence on Hong Kong youth and hip-hop culture and attitude.
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 estates. In essence, LMF uses Bruce Lee as a role model of a generation of Chinese youth.
Their last and final album, finalazy, was released just before their breakup.
"Lazy" is the fourth single off the album Coming Up by Suede, released on April 7, 1997 on Nude Records. It was also the fourth single off the album to reach the top 10.
The video for the title song was directed by Pedro Romhanyi, who previously did the video for the band's songs, Animal Nitrate, Beautiful Ones and Saturday Night, making this his third video from the album. All the tracks were produced by Bruce Lampcov except "Lazy", which was produced by Ed Buller.
"Lazy" is a song by British hard rock band Deep Purple from their 1972 album Machine Head, a live performance of the song can be found on the album Made in Japan, released later the same year.
The song starts out as an instrumental, keyboardist Jon Lord plays an overdriven Hammond organ intro, followed by the main riff and with the solo swapping between him and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. Vocalist Ian Gillan comes in with the vocals later in the song. He also uses harmonica both on the studio version and live. At over 7 minutes long, it is the longest track on the album, and live versions were often extended past 10 minutes.
The live version on Made in Japan features a theme from Hugo Alfvén's "Swedish Rhapsody #1", played by Ritchie Blackmore as a part of his solo. Ritchie Blackmore would sometimes include the main riff from "Lazy" in live performances of the song "Man on the Silver Mountain" by Rainbow. Gillan defined the song as rhythm and blues.
"Lazy" is a popular song written by Irving Berlin in 1924.
