ST: Hip-hop

Sonic Johnny · 04-28-2007, 05:13 AM

lately i've been really digging Atmosphere. Slug's voice shits me to tears, but some of the rhymes are sweet.

New Sage Francis kinda sucked, which is dissapointing cause his last two were really good.

also - Aesop Rock - Labor Days is probably one of the best hip-hop albums ever.

i dunno where this is going.

Yes. Have you heard the Daylight EP? It's got another sorta version of Daylight called Night Light, it's badass. I'm so excited to see him at Bonnaroo.

I really like Atmosphere, but I haven't heard his new albums, which I heard aren't that great. I love Lucy Ford, God Loves Ugly and Seven's Travels.

I love Sage but I haven't heard the new album yet, I'm hopefully going to get to see him soon too with Buck 65. I still have yet to really get into Buck 65 but I'm hoping seeing him live will click...some of his stuff is great and some I just can't feel.

Atmosphere did the live band thing and the first time I saw him it was cool, but the second time it was kinda worn out. I was kinda upset because Brother Ali was so good opening for him and Atmos' show started off good but I got so tiring near the end.

Brother Ali kicks much ass, I'm regretting not going to see him last Saturday. I've seen him live a few times and the only problem he ever had was one show seemed kinda too rushed and the sound was kinda bad. But his words are amazing, he always does a spoken word acapella thing and it's always really moving. I still haven't heard his new album yet either!

RJD2 did the live band thing too - his latest album he took a totally different approach...with vocals and real instruments. I loved the album but we saw him live last Friday and it was kinda disappointing. I just hope he doesn't do the live band thing on his next tour because the band sucked. They kept switching up the instruments so it seemed like they never really got into it till the end. They played some of his DJ songs with the live band too and they totally mutilated them. Although once they started finally getting into it (the last few songs) they played The Horror with the band and they actually rocked that one out. But RJ, please stick with the turn tables because those idiots make your music mediocre.

Holy crap. We just saw them open for RJD2 and man were they god awful. I mean, the bass was enough to rattle my seat and make my butt go numb, which was cool - but the rest of the music was just crap (think: the Fly Girls should've been up there dancing). And then the dude rapping was good - but he was just like rushing and everything had to be full speed. It's all about delivery, and if the people can't understand ONE word you say because you're either rapping 120 miles an hour or you're screaming the hook into the mic, then that's just shitty.

This is pretty much exactly like what the show sounded like:

Trotskilicious · 05-01-2007, 01:04 PM

jesus shut up about your fucking indie rap

Trotskilicious · 05-01-2007, 01:05 PM

sage francis is a tool, he has one good song: Makeshift Patriot

the rest is utter shit

05-01-2007, 01:06 PM

public enemy and 36 chambers and MF Doom and compilations of early 80s NY/CT rap are all i listen to anymore

well i like clouddead but i pretty much consider them like experimental ambient even though theyre technically "rapping"

05-01-2007, 01:07 PM

i did really like the clipse album though

(pitchfork)

05-01-2007, 01:08 PM

oh i listened to the peanut butter wolf album a couple months ago and it still held up actually

and blackalicious - nia is probably still good

05-01-2007, 01:08 PM

oh and ready to die obviously

first few public enemy albums and 36 chambers and the other mid 90s wu-tang solo albums are still the highlights to me

You would think that's his only good song.

Trotskilicious · 05-01-2007, 01:15 PM

I WOULD

NICE COME BACK

i mean someone who glorifies being a backpacker is a frontline buttfucker

when are you going to stop listening to this shit because your boyfriend likes it

Trotskilicious · 05-01-2007, 01:15 PM

atmosphere is a third rate aesop rock knockoff

That wasn't necessarily a comeback, just a statement.

And since you seem to care - Mark hated hip hop of any sort before I met him. Except Blackalicious. He got me into them.

You sure got me.

You're an idiot - I can give you that Aesop may be better than Atmosphere, but they are nothing alike. They don't even rap about the same shit nor are their beats even halfway similar. Try talking about gangsta rap, you seem to know a little more about that...you know, since you have black friends and all...

so good

french_rap_sucks · 05-01-2007, 01:34 PM

aesop rock is pretty good. float is an amazing album, but i haven't gotten around to listening to anything else. i used to like atmosphere when i was first getting into hip-hop, but it sounds kind of cheesy to me now. the "se7en" album was pretty shitty and i have no desire to listen to any of his new stuff.
at the moment, i'm into grime, dizzee, kano, etc. that stuff gets me pretty pumped. also, i've had "ready to die" on repeat for the past couple of months.

nas is ok, don't get me wrong. illmatic was a great album, but i got his second one and it was pretty lame. so, i have no desire to go any further with him unless you have some suggestions.

05-01-2007, 01:36 PM

i wasn't even thinking of dizzee rascal
i still like him yeah

murs is good

"Any white boy who thinks he knows my struggle
Cause he listens to Pac and his adrenaline doubles
Now I ain't got problems with you being yourself
But when you front and use the N word, it just don't help
I might not trip, and your friends'll laugh at you
But I know some real niggaz that'll straight up slap you"

reminds me of Trotsky.

05-01-2007, 04:40 PM

what does murs think about the fact that 80-95% of his audience is white people with internet access?

aesop rock gets on my nerves after about 20 minutes.

It took me a while to get into him, I thought he was kind of annoying but listening to Labor Days by myself really made it click.
