I don’t know how many of you listen to hip hop, probably not many, but I hope there are enough to get a decent discussion going. Please, no haters. I don’t want to see posts like, “Rap suxxorz, lol. Emo rules.” If you don’t like rap/hip hip, fine, just don’t post here… you fucking racist.
Feel free to talk about anything in the rap world. Who you like, who you don’t. Current feuds. Album reviews. Release dates. Live shows. Slang. Favorite producers. Whatever.
Recently, I’ve really been into MF Doom, aka King Geedorah, aka Victor Vaughn, aka Metal Fingers, aka Madvillain. Real name Daniel Dumile. He’s the guy in my avatar. He’s a producer/rapper that is mostly unknown. You might have heard him on November Has Come on the latest Gorillaz album Demon Days. He’s also on a track off the new Wu Tang album Think Differently Music.
I really like his flow. It is very unique. He doesn’t sound like anyone else. The beats he makes are really good too.
He recently put out an Adult Swim themed album with DJ Danger Mouse called Danger Doom. Check that out if you’re craving some Doom. He’s also got a series of instrumental cds that are really good called Metal Fingers Presents: Special Herbs. If you like listening to instrumental stuff, you should definitely check those out.
I"m a pretty big fan of MF Doom, especially the track you mentioned that’s on Demon Days. Not the best, but I do like him.
Other than that I’m hit or miss. Just depends on it.
as an aside… a few songs by MSI could be considered hip hop… I guess :x
I’d need a second opinion on that, but I’m not sure what to call them. Anyone have an opinion on this? I know mindless self indulgence is far from traditional hiphop, and more of a punk/techno/whatever, but a few of their songs are distinctly different.
I’ve never heard any MSI before. If you give me the titles of a couple tracks that you think are hip hop, I’ll give them a listen and let you know what I think.
Hmm, well they did a cover of bring the pain, but that’s obvious…
Well, check these out, and if you can’t find them, gimme a ring on AIM (RPGCSteve):
Boomin
Tornado
Golden I

Yeah. I like the Three 6 Mafia. Sorc recommmended them to me a while back.
Southern rap is really huge right now. Texas especially. Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Mike Jones, all those guys are from the dirty south.
There is this one song that you all need to hear. It is called I Don’t Like The Look of It by a group called Da Back Wudz. They used one of the Oompa Loompa songs from Willy Wonka to make the beat. It is frigging awesome.
EDIT: Steve, I’m going to have to check those out later tonight. I can’t d/l music at work.
At the MSI show I went to, he didn’t drink his piss, but he did snort cocaine off my friend Zach’s arm.
EDIT: Zach tells me it was his back, but I say he’s a lying sunvabitch.
MSI, GWAR, and the Blue Oyster Cult are the three single greatest bands ever, because of how many people don’t understand they’re just huge jokes. Especially since they’re entire schtick is making fun of about 90% of their respective fanbases.
As for Hip-Hop, I’m into a lot of trip-hop and some political rap, along with a smattering of other hip hop.
DJ Shadow’s older work and Zack De La Rocha’s solo shit is the stuff I’ve been listening to most, recently.
