! WORLD SMASH HIP-HOP ! Rap/HipHop/R&B/ Discussion Thread (explicit warning)

[jugfingers]

I think hip-hop is garbage. It's so played out, mainstream, everyone listens to it, annoying, doesn't take skill to create, no talent, and just overall useless, not to mention the lyrics are trash.

but RnB has those rifts man, I love it. Same with soul. It's such a good genre, with amazing talent, and isn't bred by the entertainment industry to become "entertainers"
they are actually, artists

RnB makes me sick.

 

[IAmBlu3]

alright. let's not turn this into a genre-flame thread. i personally like rock, r&b, and rap : ).

 

[Jane]

my three main "branches" are hip hop, rock, and techno.

for hiphop i basically like everything
rock is mostly metal, but i do love me some punk, progressive, and SOAD
techno i like mainly the dance varieties. house, hardcore, hardstyle, happy hardcore, jungle, acid house etc.

:3

 

[IAmBlu3]

hey jane.......slide some techno links over here..... i like trance more but i can work with it.


people, post more hip-hop links! somebody post some clipse links. i mean ones that weren't on the radio or something.

here's a track I really like, from Prefuse 73's Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives which features MF Doom and Aesop Rock. I think they work pretty well on this beat, and it's a little ways from the commercial sound we all know. I would also recommend this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBNcLlDsoN8
Which kinda has the same attitude as R&B but it's obviously more hip-hop. this is the Strange Fruit Project and the beat's from 9th Wonder, who was mentioned before in this threat.
Another song would be this, which is cool. Atmosphere is Slug and Ant.

also guys, recommend me hiphop artists!

 

[KrazyGlue]

lol
i don't know what trolling is so if you could inform me so i won't do it? and yeah
i was just stating my opinion, I didn't mean to get everyone so heated, i'm actually a rock kinda guy but I can see how what I said was offenseive.

Trolling means intentionally using outrageous or offensive statements in order to cause conflict. I don't think you were trying to be a troll, but if you come into a hip hop thread just to say "hip hop sucks" then of course people are going to label you a troll.

alright. let's not turn this into a genre-flame thread. i personally like rock, r&b, and rap : ).

lol ageed. I can really pretty much tolerate any genre, though hip hop is by far my favorite. I'm a rock fan as well, and I also enjoy funk, RnB, jazz, and orchestra music.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

I'm pretty **** fond of Sage Francis, such dense content

Atmosphere too

But real talk, check Fashawn dude is nice. Get that Boy Meets World

[Jane]

i really liked that song.

and as far as the recommendations,
give me an rapper you like, and ill give you someone i think you might like
i.e. "recommend me someone similar to nas"

I'm pretty **** fond of Sage Francis, such dense content

sage francis is pretty dope, i havent listened to him in a long time O:

 

[LoganW]

holy **** dance with the devil is incredible

 

[IAmBlu3]

I'm pretty **** fond of Sage Francis, such dense content

Atmosphere too

i actually really despise sage francis' music. Atmosphere is dope though.

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

Sage Francis can be hit or miss but that is barnone the best political hip hop song ever written, so he must be given his due credit. no opinion. if you disagree you are wrong

 

[DerpDaBerp]

i actually really despise sage francis' music. Atmosphere is dope though.

He may have some extreme views but his rhymes are so well put together. Agree with him or not, he puts his view across beautifully. And some are just personal too.

EDIT: ^fo sho

 

[IAmBlu3]

lol it's not his views i don't like. i just don't like any of his music. my friend constantly sends me songs of his but i never get into them. instead of bashing, i just prefer not to listen to him : ). :rocket:

 

[KrazyGlue]

Atmosphere is AWESOME. So is Slug by himself. He has a great verse on Put Your Quarter Up (Molemen featuring Slug, MF Doom, and Aesop Rock).


Also: Someone give me some good Papoose tracks. I only know alphabetical slaughter, lol.

[Noraa]

BoB has annoyed me so much.
The new J.Cole and young Chris Song is pretty dope

 

[.Marik]

I'm in love with Eyedea and Slug now.

Discuss. I will link songs for people that aren't familiar with these amazing artists.

 

[IAmBlu3]

Eyedea is aight. but Slug > Eyedea. I like eyedea and abilities first album......that's about it. Atmosphere, i like about 4 of their albums .

 

[.Marik]

My favourite Eyedea songs are Burn Fetish and The Dive.

I think you're underrating Eyedea, but Slug does take it to a completely different level in terms of lyrical ability and story telling.

For example, Yesterday

Guys like these are why I devote myself to underground rap and ignore mainstream.

 

[IAmBlu3]

I'm not underrating him. I can't simply judge based off how lyrical someone is. Sometimes, their **** is just boring. :rocket:

Yesterday is a great song but he has better stories than that : )

 

[.Marik]

I love Eyedea, stuff like "The Dive" and "Burn Fetish" aren't boring lol.

Nobody produces perfect tracks every time, but opinions are opinions.

Word? Link me to some?

Even though I absolutely hate my father because of how bad he abused me as a child, this song still touched my heart because I felt it from Slug's viewpoint.

It's a really nice song.

 

[IAmBlu3]

I don't mean a few tracks -__- i mean collectively. i'll put on one of their albums and find myself skipping more tracks than those that i listen to. :rocket:

well yesterday is one of his more personal tracks so it's easier to connect. btw, sorry bout your dad. that's pretty ****ed up.

......just listen to When Life Gives You Lemons..., God Loves Ugly, and Lucy Ford : ).

 

[.Marik]

I've heard nothing but good news about "When Life Gives You Lemons."

I'll be checking it out.

Collectively, Slug is better than Eyedea. Not going to lie.

Checking out those links, I'm in the mood for some fresh dope underground music.

About my dad, don't worry about it. Drugs destroy you from the inside out, that is all.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Sad Clown Bad Dub II is my fav Atmosphere album.

"The River" hits me hard. I already mentioned it a long time ago in this thread but it's definitely one of my most cherished hip hop tracks.

 

[LoganW]

can someone link me to some good lupe and the DL for it

 

[Suspect]

datpiff.com

 

[Red the Ghost]

So put it on, Big L, put it on. . .

 

[Jane]

Red,


i love you.

 

[Red the Ghost]

Thank the guy who showed me that amazing album

 

[Jane]

i would if he was posting in here

also, dont mind the few L haters in the thread, they dont know

 

[Red the Ghost]

Well he is on the site. And they can hate all they want. I won't ever stop listening to it.

 

[IAmBlu3]

I'm a Big L hater....and windows 7 was my idea : )

 

[Red the Ghost]

So an OS that takes 2 gigs of RAM to run properly is a good idea, eh?

 

[IAmBlu3]

of course. nowadays, computers come standard with at least 1 gig. it's way better than vista....:rocket:
