Busdriver's dope. I love his albums.

Kill Your Employer is my jam.

I really like Busdriver, but it's funny that I rarely listen to him. I think this is mostly due to me trying to analyze his songs which requires find the lyrics (not very many) and following along to them. Sometimes I wonder if it's just nonsensical like Beck's first two LP's (Mellow Gold and Odeley) or if there is an actual hidden meaning. "Happiness ('s Unit of Measurement) is my favourite song by him.

Busdriver is a lot like Aesop Rock for me, both in an unusual rhythm and vocal style, but in the level of esotericness of his lyrics.

I love both emcees mind you, and listen to them regularily.

roadkillovercoat is currently the album I spin most often, but I also have a number of tracks he guests on in semi-regular rotation.

Unique and erudite, a talented emcee.

Has everyone heard the newest single?

Ellen Disingenuous?

It's amazing.

Actually, just did about an hour ago. I REALLy like.

Dude, just sticks out in a world of sameness.

Been listening to alot of Busdriver lately.
Still not sure how to get the youtube vids to work, maybe this one will.

This guy deserves all forms of superlatives. Flows, beats, execution... all top notch.

jackhammer · 05-12-2009, 03:42 PM

Agreed. Temporary Forever and roadkillovercoat deserve multiple plays.

Have you got Fear of a Black Tangent? It's my favourite of his.
