Yeah he was, and it was amazing, probably one of the best I saw at the festival, and there were some great acts. He was really into it as well, even though he was on at like 1 o clock on a hot day outdoors. Seriously impressed, even my friends who arent big into hiphop were impressed.

Never listened to Busdriver, not a fan of Blackalicious anymore, gab's voice and style kinda bug me these days. What's a classic Busdriver track?

The live acts I enjoy the most are The Roots, Wu-Tang, Public Enemy, and Cypress Hill.

[QUOTE=sgrevs;15772991]Saw Blackalicious and Busdriver at Falls Festival over the last few days.
Busdriver was really amazing, brilliant performer. Blackalicious were ok, but Gift of the Gab live is a bit boring, not much animation. Still fun for a dance though, didn't play enough from [I]Blazing Arrow[/I] either.[/QUOTE]

Really?Thats a shame. When I caught them, it was one of the best performances I've seen. They did every single song you could really hope for, a whole heap of shi[COLOR="Black"]t[/COLOR] from [I]Blazing Arrow[/I] too. And his freestyle was mindblowing.

sgrevs 01-04-2008 02:05 AM

Yeah he did do some awesome freestyling, that was probably the best part. They didn't play Chemical Calisthenics :( but they did do First in Flight, Paragraph President, and the Sky is Falling which were all amazing.

Good Busdriver track is Kill Your Employer, was stellar live. [I]Roadkill Overcoat [/I]is a good album.

Seeing Dr Octagon and Aceyalone at Big Day Out later this month, can't wait.

I would KILL to see Dr Octagon, aceyalone is just a sweet bonus

sgrevs 01-04-2008 07:30 AM

Dr Octagon is doing his set with Kutmaster Kurt which is pretty sweet too.

ATM 01-04-2008 09:40 AM

I may see Jeru and Doctor Octagan on Jan 11th

sgrevs 01-04-2008 10:53 PM

That would be seriously awesome too.

[QUOTE=dub sean;15769097]I just got Snoop Dogg's Anthology. It's actually really good.[/QUOTE]

I think the majority of his albums, with the exception of Doggystyle are remarkably poor. Too many fillers per album, never really progressed lyrically.

40 oz 2 freedom 01-05-2008 01:50 AM

Doggystyle is of course a classic, but I actually really dig Tha Blue Carpet Treatment

Amit 01-05-2008 01:55 AM

yeah same here

except the album version of boss life with akon sucksss so much compared to the one with nate

Apocalyptic Raids 01-05-2008 08:32 PM

[I]Doggystyle[/I] is soo good. I think I like it more than [I]The Chronic[/I], with the exception of a couple of songs.

CaptainWaits 01-05-2008 11:55 PM

Doggystyle is the only Snoop album worth having from what I've heard of his stuff. I love the song "Gz and Hustlas".

But I bought The Roots "Do you Want More!?!?!" a while ago, and it's awesome. I love Qwest Love, such a tight drummer. Which of theirs should I get next?

Is there any Hard Rock/Metal Rap other than RATM that is good?

Apocalyptic Raids 01-08-2008 05:57 AM

not that I've heard.

sgrevs 01-08-2008 06:11 AM

Saw free Spank Rock show the other night, was amazing. Seriously fun, apart from the sh[I]i[/I]theads in the crowd.

Spank Rock is cool, they are from my state. I hear the new album sucks though.

theres a bunch of crappy nu-metal and rage imitations....you might like (hed)p.e. though

sgrevs 01-09-2008 01:15 AM

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan;15805226]Spank Rock is cool, they are from my state. I hear the new album sucks though.[/QUOTE]

It may, I think they only played 2 songs from it, one i already knew and it's pretty poor, the other was ok. The old stuff is awesome though, Bump and Sweet Talk live were amazing.

sgrevs 01-13-2008 01:13 AM

People call for Rap/hip-hop to have a forum of its own, but we can't even keep this thread alive? Poor effort.

Jay-Z's [I]Reasonable Doubt[/I] is soo good. Track with Biggie pwns.

I find it to be kinda boring as a whole, but it got some killer tracks.

Apocalyptic Raids 01-13-2008 07:21 AM

I only ever listen to the first three songs on [I]Reasonable Doubt[/I]. [I]The Blueprint[/I] is better.

ATM 01-13-2008 10:35 AM

I'll always have a soft spot for Volume II since it was the first one I got.

CaptainWaits 01-13-2008 03:35 PM

Wyclef's "Carnival" is a pretty sweet album. Love the Stayin' Alive track.

kyle6677 01-13-2008 03:51 PM

yeah im liking the new wyclef too... and saul williams. anyone got an update on immortal technique???

kyle6677 01-13-2008 03:52 PM

finally heard a march 11 release date for Del's new album too im excited

CaptainWaits 01-13-2008 05:54 PM

[QUOTE=kyle6677;15834632]yeah im liking the new wyclef too... and saul williams. anyone got an update on immortal technique???[/QUOTE]
Well I meant the first Wyclef album in '96, but his newest album (Carnival II) is still pretty good, but not nearly as sweet as the first Carnival...
