aboutasoandthis - I couldn't check those Blackstar videos but did you put Respiration up? God that song is amazing.

That's wierd... It should be the first vid.

I love Pharoahe Monch! If I had to pick one song it would be Releasing Hypnotical Gases from his Organized Konfusion days. That set the standard for pretty much every fast/wordy/abstract song out there. lol

^Sorry, I didn't mean it wasn't working, I just meant I couldn't watch it right now and was wondering if you put it up. Good to hear :)​.

I forgot to mention his Organized Konfusion days, their first album was awesome. One of my favourite older albums (91 is close enough to old).

As thecatamites mentioned in his Proto-Punk topic, I'm trying to get a series of weekly topics together to de-shitify this forum. (If you are interested send me a p​ )
How can I help?


EDIT: Fuck that was spose to be a PM!

Quote from: me
was wondering however, if you could recommend me some stuff along the lines of Pete Rock & CL Smooth (literally the hip-hop I listen to).
fuck me there was suppose to be a only in there.

EDIT2:
De La Soul - Kinda diggin them, I'll have to give them a few more listens
Lootpack - Kinda Iffy
Cunningliguists - Holy Shit this is awesome, yes.
A Tribe Called Quest - I feel the same as De La Soul, need to listen to it more to really tell.

EDIT3:
Actually, after going back and listening to some more Cunningliguists, kinda started not liking it. De La Soul has started to grow on me though.

Well, I guess I will name-drop or something in here a little bit too.


Lootpack

This is basically a collab between Madlib, Wildchild, DJ Romes. They are personally my favorite underground hip hop groups ever. Just take a listen to them.



Quasimoto

This is one of Madlib's alter-ego's. You will probably notice how much I praise Madlib. This is because he is just my favorite DJ/Hip Hop artist of all times. Anyway here is a pretty great song by this ego.



MF Doom

Other than Madlib, this man is my favorite underground hip hop artist. He is probably the king of underground hip hop. His voice is very unique, and his nerdom makes him even more awesome.



Dangerdoom

Collab. of Danger Mouse and MF Doom. Most of their music is based on shows from the Adult Swim line-up, but they're pretty funny, and fun to listen to.


Madvillian

ANOTHER collab. this time it is MF Doom and Madlib, probably the best thing to ever happen to hip hop.



OKAY I AM DONE PRAISING MADLIB AND MF DOOM

Mr. Lif

This guy is mad dope, his stuff is very unique, and his lyrics are genius.


he is also did a little with the group The Perceptionists

I will say that Grimm is an amazing artist also, and possibly a genius, but DOOM had become his "rival" after he was shot down and put in a wheelchair.

Grimm also released one of DOOM's albums, so their rivalry was probably just probably just a stunt to get money.


I also think it's terrible to arrest a cripple :(​(((

really? it was a big deal.

Quote
There have been many allegations of MF DOOM concerts being performed by an impostor (with Doom's knowledge and consent) that wears the same mask and does a poor job of lip syncing over a few songs before fleeing from the venue with the club's money. Though Doom and his promoters will deny any of these allegations, shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles are a few of those reported to have been fakes. It has been rumoured by John Robinson, who has recently been collaborating with Doom, that the imposter fiasco was a purposeful stunt to promote an up coming solo project named 'Doomposter'.

ps if that last part is true it doesn't change the fact that people paid to see doom and he's a fucking asshole. he also didn't go to Rock the Bells if I remember right and didn't refund money.

i hate lupe so much.

like.

you have no idea.

he is the most overrated rapper ever, tried to play like he knew Tribe intimately when it was discovered he hadn't bothered to memorize a song's lyrics (ATCQ later stated they hadn't ever talked to Lupe), hopped on some skateboarding shit just so white kids would listen to him, has the world's most lousy breath control, and jacked Lil Wayne's flow for his latest song.

seriously have no idea why people think he's some instant classic.

i think cause mainstream people "think is he is a breath of fresh air" or something.

ive heard people say his breathing style might be on purpose, i like how some of his stuff is kinda creative but i guess i can understand why people hate him too



man id really like to go to one, it would be like one big party (maybe not a ghetto one or one filled with wiggers though heh)

rap concerts are awesome when they aren't full of indie kids who look at each other with a spark of glee and a disbelieving smile everytime a rapper says WHERE MY NIGGAS AT.

its me ghostface...i...i am your nigger.

how dare they

Haha yeah I've read about this somewhere else I think.... from you?


Btw I'm trying to keep the ghostface discussion down for my next topic but have you heard this:

Quote
There was also beef between Ghostface and Mase, where Ghostface broke Mace's jaw in an altercation. This is mentioned in the track 'Malcolm', "I straight punch Mase in the face over some bullshit". Kanye West also mentions this on 'Through the wire', saying "If you could feel how my face felt you would know how Mase felt".


Haha I don't know if this is true or not but it is pretty cool to imagine, mase getting all smarty towards ghostface and then ghostface screaming "THAT IS WHAT YOU GET" directly after a shot to the jaw.

BUMP I had to check out the great hip/hops


MF DOOM is a terrible guy but in his defense so is everyone else we're talking about. just depends whether it bothers you or not, eg I can't stand wu-tang anymore cuz of how they treated this great woman. I still like some of their best solo stuff but I can't stand them for the most part, basically every rapper is a faggot

Haha man this happens at Aussie hip hop gigs so much. You either have the ridiculously hardcore heads who walk in with a beer in each hand and a graffiti t-shirt or the confused rock kids who jump around not really know what's happening. I spose that's what happens when you come from a rock country.
