Every god damn inch and proud to say so  

And the lyrics pose a rather contrary-to-what-you-want-to-actually-do in life, morally (well at least hopefully)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then ofcoures there is this, Rap Metal anyone?

 

 

incredible

 with massive MELLOTRON IN THE VERSES

 

 

 

I mostly posted it becouse I discoverd that the song have Mellotron which is a solid winner in my book and Eminems rage comes form a childhood full of childmolestation (towards him ) and a mom who was absent and not really a caring a mother and a difficult marrige and parenthood which had many difficulities, and many other  things also an important factor an absent father figure, he grew up without any father rolemodels. so eminem is a tortured mind basicly and he just let out all the steam he have in his mind. which is  ALOT, a shrink would have consolted with another srink if he had ever had a session with Eminem.

 

this song is the hip hop song nr 1. it defeins modern rap, it defeins the 90s, it defeins me

 

 

 

I saw this cat live in march is is the best rap concert I have been on, so fresh and energic, he was a fierce ball of plasmaic energy. and he is literate and very smart, and if Bob Dylan is the poet of rock, Nas is the poet of Hip Hop he is the Wordsworth of New York, the Shakespeare of the Hudson river, the Joyce of Queensbridge 

I'm guessing you're the one who mentioned this band at Prog Archives before.  Cool stuff! 

I have to make mention of Digable Planets.  Pretty similar smooth style of hip-hop to A Tribe Called Quest, and add a female into the mix.  

Nevermind  .  I'm used to the overlap between the sites. 

I've been enjoying 2pac's Me Against the World lately. It's not the masterpiece that some would have you believe IMO, but it's a damn good album. Anybody else like him? 

 

Great band, Zach Hill is the drummer.

4 years later and hip-hop is probably my third favorite genre of music after metal and electronic. Some of my favorites still include Beastie Boys and Run DMC, but also Blackalicious, A Tribe Called Quest, Cypress Hill, Eric B. & Rakim, Jungle Brothers, Kool Keith, Lyrics Born, The Pharcyde, and Slick Rick.

Unfortunately I have found it hard to find really good modern hip hop that interests me, but there are a couple like Death Grips and A-F-R-O who are making some great stuff.

Obviously with adding Beastie Boys, they're who I've been listening to most as far as hip hop goes, this song in particular:

Triceratopsoil wrote: I think Dalek is about the only rap group I listen to

Most of the rap I listen to now is Death Grips, or MF Doom and adjacent musicians (Madlib etc).

Also a little bit of Aesop Rock, select classics (Deltron 3030, Wu Tang, Nas, De La Soul) and instrumental stuff like J Dilla and BADBADNOTGOOD

I still like the production on Dalek's music but really can't stand their lyrics, everything has to be political with them and I'd rather listen to goofy nonsense like Doom

Have you heard Del from Deltron's solo stuff? I've always really loved this funky classic, even before I was into much rap:

MF Doom has a lot of great projects under other names as well, for Viktor Vaughn he had other people do all the productions, for King Geedorah he did all the production and had other people do most of the rapping

Madvillain and Dangermouse are his biggest collabs I've heard.  Operation Doomsday and Mm Food are my all time faves though

If you're wanting to start with some darker and heavier hip hop, I'd recommend Cypress Hill, Death Grips, R.A. the Rugged Man, and Masta Ace Incorporated to start.

If you're looking for some upbeat old school 80's stuff, Slick Rick, Run DMC, Eric B. & Rakim, Jungle Brothers, and Beastie Boys.

For more abstract alternative hip hop, Blackalicious, Rob Sonic, Sonic Sum, MF Doom, Aesop Rock, Lyrics Born

Jazzy hip hop, Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, Gang Starr, Electric Company

and awesome sci-fi electronic hip hop, Beastie Boys' Hello Nasty, Kool Keith's Black Elvis/Lost in Space. and Mantronix.

Damn, R.I.P. MF Doom, didn't see this coming. Still haven't explored all that much of his work, but have long been a fan of this song:

Seriously, this is the first time I've heard basically medieval hip hop:

Also unrelated, looking forward to the new Cypress Hill album. So far the three singles have been produced by Black Milk instead of DJ Muggs, so hopefully he didn't leave again, but I did really like the first single Champion Sound with its trip hop vibe so I'm hoping it'll be good regardless.
