Cool calm pete, EL-P, Aesop Rock, Cage, Yak Ballz, Cannibal Ox, Atmosphere, C-Rayz Walz, Rob Sonic, Blockhead, MF Doom, Nujabes, Jedi Mind Tricks..if you like them I got MADDDD more on my ipod. Sorry if I said some artists that were said all ready but all I see in this thread is arguments over Jay-z, Nas, Rakim, talib and ****... -.-

Truth be told, I've only heard a few of those. My favorite underground dood so far is Elzhi.

mmm very nice taste in music.

I'd throw murs, eyedea, Sage Francis and brother ali in there

eyedea and bro ali both came out with ill ill albums recently

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvy3x9_SauM

"no wonder why we lost the battle, the counter culture can't count"

eyedea is a genius if you guys didn't know already.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsPaYZ26Cw0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df2BTngNnr8&feature=related

ali's new album is really dope, virtually no sampling. even got a local ghetto church choir to sing choruses REAL **** seriously check it out


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbdtwCMIAxA lol murs for president


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PITNYQtZWFE you prolly already know

 

[Masmasher@]

There are others too on the west that have a interesting style
I like thesaurus, dumfoundead, tantrum, satyre, okwords there are others that are pretty sick too.

Heres another song by dumbfoundead called 1st, 2nd & 3rd another cool concept
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7Ub2N9iBOk

Also these are 2 freestyle cyphers. actual improv. theres more to hip hop then just making tracks and music

"Truth be told
I'd probably be
Lyricly
Talib Kweli
Truthfully
I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
(But i did five Mil)
I ain't been rhymin like Common since"
- Jay Z on Moment of Clarity
plus he straight up lied when he said he'd never make an album. None of that sounds legendary.

Name one rapper that's never straight up lied.

Plus, Jay-z has went platinum 10 times.

Sites that rated jay-z as one of the top 10 emcees of all time (granted some of these are stupid lists but you get the point):

...and many others.


I don't know how you can logically deny that he is a legend.

 

[Jane]

jesus christ.

every song posted so far was hot as hell.


ESPECIALLY the murs song. this is the first time i hear that song (and watch that video) and all i gotta say is my respect for murs just shot way up.

also brother ali, never really got into him, but after those two songs i'm definitely checking him out!


and those cyphers were sick as ****! goddayum!

anyways, check this song out by PACEWON and MR. GREEN,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DQWvOM5sUQ


i nearly **** myself when i heard that beat. so unique and dope

 

[KrazyGlue]

Brother Ali is pretty good. I recommend Uncle Sam God**** and Whatcha' Got.

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

Artists That probably haven't been mentioned that are amazing.


Dezmatic.

www.myspace.com/dezfu ckinmatic remove space

Dude is just so fresh. Doesn't sound like ANYONE else out in the game yet keeps it ill.

Go download his mixtape Bigfoot's **** at www.dezmatic.com

honestly its not like anything you've ever heard before but its ****ing ill. his steez is soo fresh
He's hard to describe but very sick.


Hibernation
www.myspace.com/hibethegod

this dude has bar none THE illlest rhyme schemes in existence. His myspace songs arent a good showcase of his talent. heres one of his older tracks.
This guy is a drug addled nutcase with an internet connection and a microphone but hes AMAZING. His rhyme schemes are lightyears ahead of most peoples. Keeps like 6 syllable patterns going while rhyming about some gully business.
Straight Slaughter.mp3 - 3.46MB
This is just a 60 bar freeverse. I know his style is kind of wierd but i dunno I honestly think he's one of the best to do it. Just listen to the lines. Might take a few listens to actually understand the illness. If you want more of this guy lemme know i got all the **** hes ever done.
Heres another one about addiction thats AMAZING
Hibernation - Dear Sobriety _Produced by Kirby Pucket_.mp3 - 4.07MB
Just listen to the rhyme schemes. This guy is next level. Honestly.

Macklemore.

www.myspace.com/macklemore

kind of random addition to my list. Probably the best guy out there doing the emotional rap thing but hes also versatile with some club **** but keeps its fun and lyrical.
Peep his otherside song that's kind of a retake on the rhcp song. Great song about addiction, very deep lyrics.


Spoonfull
www.myspace.com/spoonfullhiphop

This guy is sooo ****ing dope. Listen to the song brooklyn heartbreak and be sold right away. This guy works with all live instruments done by a guy named d.mitch. totally self-sufficient homebrew artists that are blending genres like nobodies business. Quality music tho.



El-p.

www.myspace.com/elproducto

Might've been mentioned. He runs def jux and is imo the most talent on the label. Soo progressive, soo out there. Kind of hit and miss sometimes but when he hits, the song is amazing. Listen to songs like "overly dramatic truth", "league of extraordinary nobodies", or his new one "how to serve man (the meanest things i'd never say ". This dude is ridiculously talented and bringing such fresh sounds to relatively stagnant genre.



Shad
www.myspace.com/shad

Rapper from london, ontario. Best canadian rapper handsdown. This guy is amazing.






I know pretty much everything about independent hip hop, if you need music get at me. I'll post some more lists of amazing obscure artists that need attention.

 

[Vash.]

Lol I love you guys and your taste in music. I didn't mean to sound pretentious or some **** but ****, good ****.

 

[jugfingers]

I was thinking about cage and camu nighthawks and cage and Tame leak bros waterworld which are albums that are sort of like movies, well especially nighthawks which is based off a movie,


waterworld is entirley about pcp, probably one of the dopest cage albums

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2wZLeRTRes&feature=related

http://http://www.smashboards.com/n...utube.com/watch?v=RzHFi5WA81A&feature=related



nighthawks is about two crooked rogue undercover police officers, its pretty hilarious

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8bVstAqWXc&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cswyzazofoc&feature=related

but yea albums like this are awesome to listen to all at once cause its like a movie of sound which can take you to incredible places(especially if you've ingested strong drugs, or have an active imagination)


but yea anyone else know any strange or unusually themed hip hop albums?

 

[Matador]

Some of these guys are seriously....seriously slick. Never thought smashers had so much variety.

Same here. I was going to start a hip-hop thread (expecting it to fail); then I saw this.

Lol I love you guys and your taste in music. I didn't mean to sound pretentious or some **** but ****, good ****.

Yeah, you were right though. Aesop Rock, MF Doom, and Atmosphere are some of my favorite underground-ers. Jedi Mind Tricks/AOTP are dope as well.

Some of my favorite underground songs:
* Put Your Quarter Up (Aesop Rock, MF Doom, Molemen, and Slug)
* Accordian (Madlib and MF Doom)
* Seven (AOTP)
* Dump the Clip (AOTP)
* Always Coming Back Home To You (Atmosphere)
* Basix (DJ JS-1, PackFM, and Tonedeff)

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

Leak bros are so dope.

Best Cage album after hell's winter imo.

I really like hell's winter.

This dude is hella slept on

Pacewon - The rah rah

That song from Pace is pretty good, it just feels like hes yelling at me lol, like cannibus would.

 

[Jane]

haha pace does sound like canibus in that song lol

awesome to listen to all at once cause its like a movie of sound which can take you to incredible places(especially if you've ingested strong drugs, or have an active imagination)


but yea anyone else know any strange or unusually themed hip hop albums?

hehehehehehe ^_______^


strange or unsually themed hip hop?


please please please PLEASEE check out the book of human language by aceyalone. if youve ingested drugs all the better ;D




also, i'm currently obsessed with this song. such a good party song. knocks mega hard too.

rob roy - fur in my cap

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lww9Wqq_Cao

pussy in ma lap, bird in tha sack, fur in ma cap, fur-fur in ma cap! :D

the video is also funny/awesome

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

canibus? i dont hear it lol.

 

[Vash.]

canibus? i dont hear it lol.

Didn't say he sounds like him, but he just sounds like he is battling.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1jCkXck_lU For example.

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

haha pace does sound like canibus in that song lol

and naw I don't think he sounds like Canibus. Sounds more like a slim shady lp era eminem to me.

 

[IAmBlu3]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned any of these rappers but here we go:

Sandpeople

that's all i can think of right now

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

Jay Electronica is dope as shiiit.


hes like a modern day nas in his prime from the south

 

[S l o X]

If you can't appreciate Cudi for his realness then you don't know shxt.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8QaN0qltpA - best interview ever.

Budden & Blu are sick, have listened to them before. I don't like a lot of underground because its mostly just rap. I'm more of an underground, indie, smooth, real talk person, doesn't mean I can't appreciate sick lyricism though.

(If you want to be a painter, but you suck at painting, you can't say that and be like "I know deep down I want to be a painter". if you know you suck at painting but you really want to do this, you got to perfect it.)

 

[Doromac]

****! I wish I knew this thread was here earlier.

I gotta know if anyone here listen to Scarface. I was raised off of his ****.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRMzSL9fqS8

Also lately, this guy I know showed me this rapper named King Geedorah. I've been listening to his **** of resently. His flow is crazy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BqJVzNtSPM

I'm sure y'all know MF Doom.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpaonSDPw7Y

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4iR668Ki3I

Also Madvillain (MF Doom and Madlib)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewc1hixzYPY

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

King Geedorah = MF DOOM.


Good album. Sort of like a monsta island czars album with all the features.


Operation doomsday is the classic tho

 

[Doromac]

King Geedorah = MF DOOM.

 

[KrazyGlue]

If you can't appreciate Cudi for his realness then you don't know shxt.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8QaN0qltpA - best interview ever.

Kid Cudi is the best rapper under 30 years old. He's brilliant imo.

Great interview, thanks for enlightening me there. Kid Cudi hit the nail on the head when he started talking about ignorance. I have immense respect for him for saying what he said.

****! I wish I knew this thread was here earlier.

Scarface is a legend, and MF Doom is one of my favorite underground rappers. I like your taste in music. :D

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

Kid cudi is good at what he does.


but it's not rapping.


to call him a good rapper is very wrong imo

 

[IAmBlu3]

^^ agreed. i mean i like his music, but his raps aren't really all that impressive.

 

[Vash.]

Then you both obviously never heard him freestyle..

 

[Doromac]

Can't forget about that old Outkast.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pjHlizcXI8

Aquemini is a favorite of mine.

 

[S l o X]

because the definition of rap has been all over the place and still is.
Scarface is a legend, will check out MF Doom...what does MF stand for?

 

[IAmBlu3]

Then you both obviously never heard him freestyle..

i've heard him freestyle. still wasn't impressed....i like his overall music, but as far as lyricism goes, i've heard better. i'm not saying he's bad though...

 

[IAmBlu3]

^^ MF - Metal face or Metal fingers

 

[jugfingers]

he just goes by DOOM now actually without the MF, "enough with the formalities" I think I heard him say about it


anyways he is the greatest rapper that has ever lived.

you guys ever noticed how he really dislikes eating pork? I know in MM Food he was talking about frying meat being bad for your heart so maybe its just a health thing but he does mention it a lot not sure if hes jewish or what. Heres' a few Im sure there are many more.

"don't eat pork in the streets of new york"

"its all a big scam to make you eat pig ham"

"never knew the price of ice or what swine cost"

"let the pork stop I got the clear meat, the vodka"

"forgot who they talking to, Too much Pork stew"

"He don't eat gelatin, hot or cold ham"

"Coughin to a coffin?, might as well scoff the pork then"

 

[KrazyGlue]

Kid cudi is good at what he does.


but it's not rapping.


to call him a good rapper is very wrong imo

Several of his songs could be arguably non-rap (i.e. Cudder Anthem) but songs like Day n' Nite, Make Her Say, Soundtrack 2 My Life, etc. are all straight up rap.

 

[Doromac]

Interesting fact about Doom, but I would not say he is the greatest rapper to live. Even though I'm a huge Scarface fan, I would actually have to give it to L.L. Cool J. He's been xoing his thing ever since way back in the day, and he is a large, important rapping icon. He was also inspiration for Face himself.

 

[~N9NE~]

LL definitel deserves all the recognition he gets and more.

Kid Cudi? I'll pass.

My favourite track of all time by Joey...
