it only gets better

i cant believe gift of gab even associated himself with the mighty underdogs. that record is such crap compared to this.

the gift of gab's style bugs the hell out of me. he's talented, no doubt about that, but it's just too fast and goofy sounding for me. I used to like it, who knows maybe my tastes will change again.

Anyway, I just found an album on my ipod i didn't know I had, "the last shall be the first" by the Sunz of Man. It's pretty f-ing cool, def one of my fav wu-tang affiliated albums, mostly because of how different the production is. It's still minimal as hell, with 4th disciple and true master making the majority of the beats, but lighter than I'd expect from a wu-tang affiliated group. You guys heard this one?

hearing oh no on tv wtffFfff

alright, im done with dalek i think. i liked gutter tactics for a couple listens, but im really annoyed now.

he sounds better on Absence

yeah definitely, that's their only solid release imo... too bad it's a start to a gradual decline.

absence is boring

[i]insight[/i]

Abandoned Language is dalek's best. total masterpiece imo. I like all of their releases tho, gutter tactics is probably the least of them.

Insight is one of the best rappers out there. Just no one knows him.

Shinsight Trio
Soloplexus
Y-Society
and his solo stuff are all dope.

how do you find out about all this stuff... underground hiphop blogs or something? im intrigued, cause i haven't really tapped the blogosphere much, except for searching for download links.

Dayumn, three songs into Ghostface's 'Fishscale' and I'm already enjoying it more than 'Ironman'.

Insight is a local in a Boston.

Soloplexus was Insight taking on 6 different personalities, and some tracks featuring himself. He also did all the beats on it. Either this or "Me Her" is my favorite track off the album.

do they have a myspace?

[QUOTE=schiggy;17054546]recomend some songs please?[/QUOTE]
sure. check out "classical homicide," "paragraphs relentless," "culture for dollars," "trampled brethren" and "2012 (the pillage)."

[QUOTE=badtaste;17054435]Dayumn, three songs into Ghostface's 'Fishscale' and I'm already enjoying it more than 'Ironman'.[/QUOTE]
Probably because those first three tracks are possibly the best start to any hip hop album. the whole album is amazing, though.

np Army of the Pharaohs - Seven

love the beat

this beat is grim as fuk

thanks :)

really getting into The Preface, it might be better than Tronic. BM's production is so awesome, Im such a sucker for vocal soul samples

i dont know, i think the preface was his warm up round more than anything. tronic is so ridiculous. both are awesome, but tronic is my favorite.

his joints on the invincible record are awesome.

man, i really need to get that platinum pied pipers review out. the flu's been telling me to sit around and watch the office instead. that album is pretty much awesome, ghost of aveiro ftw

i don't know how you guys feel about lil waynes new song "prom queen" but it is the teshiznit. and stuff.

I just can't get into it in any real way. Definitely a record I appreciate but it's never going to actually mean anything to me.

i dont think it'll ever be a 5/5 for me by any means, but i love it nonetheless. i really can't wait until Janelle Monae finishes up her metropolis project... the chase suite was easily one of the best neo-soul recordings i've ever heard.

I hosted my first hip hop show, you guys should check it out. Had live performances from Ardamus, Tyrone from Rosetta Stoned, and The Five One.

Ill be hosting concerts every Sunday night starting February 22nd.

Pic from the show: (this is The Five One)

looks pretty bad a[I]ss[/I] i'll look into it.

Nice, thanks man. It was a little bumpy because it was the first concert I've hosted on the air haha

np. room you are in looks really small...

Listening to Pasobionic's Empty Beats for Lonely Rappers. Very cool. So cool I reviewed his album the other day.

And also listening to TZU's Computer Love, which is also very cool.

Black milk's rapping is meh. He's like a slighter better version of kanye. His beats are dope though.

Elzhi is way more Kanye sounding than Milk.

Milk is a good rapper. he isn't anything special but he is good.

you think so? I like elzhi, his style is a lot more dynamic and interesting to me than black milk. I guess they both got a kanyeish vibe, but bm makes me think of "flashing lights" every time I hear him.

just how Elzhi sounds.

You have any suggestions for new artists that aren't kanye clones? I'm sick of the whole rapping lazily behind the beat thing, even Buckshot's doing it these days.

POS... his new joint "Never Better" comes out on the 3rd. i got the pre-release, and it's really tight... some of the most unique stuff ive heard recently.
