But you're right, he's a paranoid guy who righteously hates wage-slavery. He lives in San Francisco now so life may be a little more relaxed for him. Whatever his personal situation, I have always looked up to him as a spokesperson for those of us who want more out of life than clock-punching as well as for being a defender of the idea that capable people can make at least a meager living by creating art. |

One of the first songs not on Labor Days that really got me into Aesop. Probably my second favorite song next to Battery. Love the all L.S.D. verse. Lazy summer days... Freeze - 102 No Jumper Cables - 100 We're Famous - 90 Cook It Up - 74 Super Fluke - 73 Easy - 72 11:35 - 64 I used to like this song ^. Now, I'm so tired of it I never want to hear it again. Just about my least favorite Aesop Rock song on the books. Just about. Bazooka Tooth - 63 NY Electric - 58 Mars Attacks - 54 Kill the Messenger - 52 Babies With Guns - 48 This track finally grew on me. I really really like the lyrics. I like the pokes he takes at gangbangers with crucifix chains and/or Catholic/Christian tattoos. Limelighters - 38 The best thing about Bazooka Tooth is that he released all the a cappela and instrumentals so that people could easily remix the album. My Bazooka Tooth remix thread Quote:

I think his San Francisco transformation may be why i'm so bored by his newer material. Pretty much any good artist is a spokesperson for life outside of societal confines right? |

I'm not trying to prove my point incessantly, it's just i really don't have anything else to do today. Of course it's all totally subjective.

I didn't say an impartial perspective, I said the album focuses on work as a general topic in a variety of ways. "No Regrets", for example, is all about someone's life work, while "9-5er's Anthem" isn't so much anti-work as it is anti-meaningless work—he actually says that pretty explicitly in the closing lyrics of the song.

2) You're bored with the latest stuff you've heard? I'm not. 3) Absolutely wrong. Unless you're talking about artists who are very young and willing to subsist on almost no money (like living in a van), most "good" artists work very much within the confines of society and the way that much larger sums of money is normally generated (i.e. an investor pouring lots of ducats into promoting them and selling their merchandise which is the real commodity of commercial musicians. I know I don't need to explain this to you but you brought it up). To reference my point #1, most musicians don't make a reasonably sound living without getting within the confines of commercially successful record labels (i.e. society) even if its a very low-paying underground hip-hop label like Def Jux or Rhymesayers. They all have to make enough money to support themselves somehow. The way small, poor labels do it without wealthy investors? Employ talented artists who will work hard and garner the support of devoted fans. Duh. Quote:
A$AP Sparky, isn't all of the above obvious? |

Thankyous sir, quite astonished i must say. When i said all artists are a spokesperson for a life outside of societal confines(not necessarily living it themselves, but advocating for it) i was addressing this comment specifically, i shoulda made that clearer my bad. Quote:

I don't even see the argument. Janszoon, Sparky, you're talking about the same things with different words, from different sides. It's kind of funny. You're both right.
Also, Engine, good ish. |
Really loving the new Lushlife album. Flawless production. |

Imagine the magnitude of MD DOOM... |
Not sure if its been mentioned before but Hopsin.
You haven't heard of him but you won't forget him once you do! |

Fucking good shit man. No doubt one of the posters on here that I make an effort to listen to or read whatever you post.

NEED HELP!!! I have a friend who I am trying to introduce to the hip-hop genre and have recommended various albums for a newbie to do so. But she is deciding to make it a little more complicated and asked that I make a compilation album instead of good hip-hop. I thought being a music addict this would be a simple task, but I am having a little more difficulty than first anticipated. My problem is not so much selection than it is transition. I have a terrible knack for putting various songs together.
So if anyone has the time to lend me a helping hand here, I would very much appreciate it. You won't be rewarded with much than a simple "thank you" but it may still give you a warm feeling deep down knowing you helped another crazed music follower. |
hood reccomendation of today
if you mad cuz im bad then im glad cuz u sad |
I know a band that has meaningful lyrics...
King Tuesday from Minneapolis... great talent, more rock than hip hop - but mc's keep a good flow and the singer is amazing- Their single "Bach" was recorded with a pro engineer for universal and they are getting label attention for their efforts - probably see more of them soon!
Find them on reverbnation (I would post a link but I guess I need to get to 15 posts) |

I'm looking for two totally different things- really dark, explicit stuff and obscure feel good uptempo stuff. no I'm not bipolar.

Sasha Go Hard is like the black Kreayshawn. Yes, that's supposed to be an insult.

a poignant critique

These are must watches:
Brings me right back 5 years to college. Still keeping up with them (mostly Hiero and Eligh and Sunspot Jonz) but I'm glad they're all doing well and still going strong. Crowd seemed kinda lame at first, but I guess they edited most of the crowd sounds out - which really makes Hiero's call and response sound like ****. But they lit it up. |
Good stuff d00d :)
|
so good. |
This is pretty cool man. Need to check out more of his stuff, but I like it. |
|
Speaking of tnght
Does anyone know the beat that they're playing at 1:30 mark? its nasty |
voice of a generation. |
Tha Alkaholiks AND The Beatnuts have joined forces as a hip hop collective. This track is a perfect example of the Hip Hop I fell in love with; a bunch of angry dudes over a sinister beat. FRESH OUTTA 2012! These are two of my favorite hip hop groups, the fact that they are doing this makes me so excited I can't even ****ing sit still. If you still haven't pressed play let me just say this; Tash J-Ro E-Swift Juju Psycho Les Sounds like a bunch of grumpy old crocodiles if you ask me. |
best song ever. |
