All awesome suggestions as well.

I suggest everyone listen to OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All)....they are getting a lot of buzz and were on the cover of I think the latest Bill Board magazine.

You can find all their stuff on their website (I cant post links yet)

They are definitely for everyone, but since they are getting a lot of buzz I figured its good to at least give them a listen and judge for yourself.

I think rap will take a new direction soon... We've kind of seen the more gang affiliated raps die down, but then again the genre and flow is about being catchy, flashy, analogies, and catching you off guard.. It's very quick-whitted in it's style, so I'm not sure if it'll ever take an approach of a rock song, because for the style it wouldn't work.. Just like it would make no sense for rockers to talk with the same slang or style.. It's the genre

Of course, these are all completely unrelated so I'm not sure what I like. BUT I do know what I'm looking for. And that is some dark material. Give me some please!

Sadistik. Most definitely.

Sadistik is incredible. Emancipator produces his album, check him out if your into trip-hop at all.

But the 6 song ep/lp he does with a Kid Called Computer is my favourite, thats some crazy ****!

Dunno if anybodies mentioned these yet, but D-Sisive, is pretty fresh. Check out I Love a Girl & the Grizzly Bear: Hijacked Remix.

Shad is another artist you should check out.

And if nobody else has said, JOE BUDDEN. Start with Whatever It Takes.

I would post links to but I haven't made 15 posts yet so it won't let me.
