[QUOTE=sgrevs;13518335]OutKast are awesome, but the rest of the group is not. No OutKast dissin' please.[/QUOTE]
Goodie Mob (including Cee-Lo) is in that group, I think, and they are very good. Their early stuff (when Cee-Lo was still with them) is great.
I haven't heard anything from the whole Dungeon Family though, so I won't judge them as a whole...

Rams 10-27-2006 01:11 PM

Did anyone like Cee-Lo before Gnarls Barkley?

Goodie Mob is basically OutKast verbatim, ****ty generic southern rap.

Robert Crumb 10-27-2006 01:25 PM

Generic in what sense? The first couple albums are pretty solid.

And Lady Sovereign is pretty bad. Did anyone hear about the guy who was taking donations to get a date with her? He collected a pretty mint and rented a yacht, all to try to get with the munchkin.

Robert Crumb 10-27-2006 01:32 PM

Only heard the song off Plague Songs. That one is alright. Does he have an album out/upcoming or something?

Interstate 10-27-2006 01:33 PM

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath;13520040]Has anyone heard Klashnekoff's 'It's Murda'? One of the best british singles of recent times, I think.

Lady Sovereign is the worst.[/QUOTE]

Haven't heard that particular song but I've heard a couple of others. He's amazingly talented. 'Parrowdice' is brilliant. His album is ridiculously hard to find though. :(

Beats, lyrics, and hooks are all of standard southern rap formula. Of course they need the obligatory angry MC to give a sense of realism.

It's sad that Scarface is the only good southern rapper out there. Then it's like T.I. and Chamillionaire.

Robert Crumb 10-27-2006 02:05 PM

I'd download it.

Goodie Mob had some good hooks, and the Organized Noize albums have fantastic production. Lyrics are sort of meh, but they have their moments.

I think she's cute.

Digging some Haiku D'etat today.

Man, MF Grimm's flow is so weak, but the production on American Hunger is great.

pixiesfanyo 10-27-2006 04:29 PM

[I]For Hero For Fool[/I] is one of my favorite rap related releases of the year.

The Jungler 10-27-2006 04:46 PM

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath;13520260][i]In My Mind[/i] is just boring. Lady Sovereign is actively irritating.[/QUOTE]Meh, can't say I agree with either of those. Though I was irritated when she was like a half hour late at Lollapalooza.

The last track on MF Grimm's new CD is superb. Don't know much else by him.

So I just got and listened to both [I]The Unseen[/I] and [I]The Further Adventures of Lord Quas[/I] by Quasimoto. I was sort of expecting Madlib type stuff, and I guess it similar in some senses. I really dig the out-there-ness of it, it's very different to most hip-hop I listen to, but at times, the high pitched voice that he uses can get pretty irritating. I'll have to give them both a few more listens before I have a real verdict.

What does everyone else think?

Tyler 10-27-2006 09:22 PM

I cant stand the voice.

The Jungler 10-27-2006 09:36 PM

I love the voice to be honest. Both the CDs are a little long for my tastes, but they are both fantastic. The first is way grittier and easier to listen to through the whole thing, but the second has some fantastic songs and production. The lyrics are cool on both records as well.

I just got Lord Quas at FYE for $8.

Qwel & The Maker - [I]Harvest[/I]

Reminds me of Cyne. Good ****.

[QUOTE=The Jungler;13522732]Both the CDs are a little long for my tastes, but they are both fantastic. [/QUOTE]

They are a little long, but I put them in a playlist together along with J Dilla's [I]Donuts[/I], and it made for a really nice 2 hours of listening, the three albums blend really well together.

Kyle 10-28-2006 06:42 AM

I love the Quasimoto stuff, it makes really great background music.

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo;13521110][I]For Hero For Fool[/I] is one of my favorite rap related releases of the year.[/QUOTE]

I'm just listening to it now, I'm really into how much clearer the production is than in their other releases.I like how much more singing there is and how its alot more musically diverse, definately one of the overall best albums out this year.

Simple Man 10-28-2006 10:52 AM

So Game's Let's Ride new video is out, It's alright.

sgrevs 10-28-2006 10:58 PM

I want The Game's new album but I can't seem to find it. Frustrating. It has leaked right?

Flysmoke 10-29-2006 06:23 AM

Have anybody heard any Scottish hip-hop from All Time High([url]http://alltimehigh.co.uk/[/url])

I am not a huge rap fan but think All Time High are amazing what do you think?

Kaden 10-29-2006 11:58 AM

Why is B.I.B.L.E. on Liquid Swords, when it's clearly not Gza?

pixiesfanyo 10-29-2006 12:55 PM

GZA does the last verse.

Happymeal 10-29-2006 03:34 PM

Count Bass D's new one is pretty tight. Beats sound somewhat Dilla-inspired.

[QUOTE=Kaden;13530975]Why is B.I.B.L.E. on Liquid Swords, when it's clearly not Gza?[/QUOTE]

It's still the best song on the album.
