Ok, I'm downloading American Hunger right now. I've actually never heard of MF Grimm except for the times that he's been mentioned in this thread. Is he real well-known?

Not to my knowledge. I only know of him because the album he did with MF Doom.

[QUOTE=JonM;13304993]For the record, I just listened to Grimm's [I]The Downfall Of Ibliys: A Ghetto Opera[/I], and it's also very good. Doom is on a couple tracks.[/QUOTE]

This is awesome now I'm really getting into MF Grimm. [I]The Book of Daniel[/I] is such a great song. I now want this other album. The "Ghetto Opera" part makes it sound especially enticing. Hip-hop threads rule.

What does everyone think of De Le Soul? I've been planning on downloading some stuff by them and wondering what everyone else though.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath;13307927]They're cool. [i]3 Feet And Rising[/i] is a hot album, and they pull off the jazz-rap thing far more convincingly than ATCQ.[/QUOTE]

De La Soul is pretty chill.
Much like ATCQ, however I like ATCQ a bit better though

[QUOTE=Kyle;13307178]Oooo, is this actually new? Or is it just Late Orchestration? If it's new i'll get to downloading that, then up it for the mailing list or something.[/QUOTE]

It's the Live at Abbey Road thing, whatever it is called. It's probably been out for a couple months now. It seems like it came out and no one noticed it, yet everyone who did said it was excellent.


De La Soul is pretty good but [I]3 Feet High & Rising[/I] is way too bloated with skits and overall stupid songs. Songs like "The Magic Number" rock while "Can U Keep A Secret" clearly does not.

I've been listening to 'De La Soul Is Dead' and its pretty fantastic.

I agree with the stuff about most hip hop skits not being very good. Kanye, you are the biggest offender.

Hell no, that album is a classic. De La Soul are one of the few who can make skits which don't mess up the entire flow of the album. Their best album is Stakes is High though.

Can anybody tell me the name of the Album where the song Deep Cover (Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg) is?

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath;13317317]It's from the movie Deep Cover. You'll find it on Snoop's on Dre's greatest hits. Does Dre have a greatest hits?[/QUOTE]


Thanks, man. I'll get the movie, they tell me it's good. And the song is a classic.

just give me your email and i can send it to you, the song that is

Definitely. I can't listen to his albums all the way through.

If his albums would be mostly skit-free, they would be so much better. Especially [I]Late Registration[/I], which is pretty much his most solid album yet.

Any Demigodz fans? I can't stop listening to them lately.

Psh, he only has two albums.

he actually has more than two

Generic question but can someone shoot me some rap with some really hard hitting beats that can get my sub going when i'm ridin' dirrty, ya feel?

three six mafia, brotha lynch hung, x-raided, the team etc @excursions

Dead Prez-Hip Hop.

If you wanna feel like killing someone

Dead Prez-Mind Sex

If you feel like ridin' dirty.


I don't know the difference though, I'm not down with street talk.

I'm really digging [I]The Chronic [/I]lately. i don't really know why but i just listened to it the other day for the first time in a while and i remembered that its pretty damn good. [I]2001[/I] is also wicked.

Well....
 

I'm not really into rap. I used to be when I was in middle school, but I started playing bass guitar and then got into classic rock and jam bands. But my band and I do like to jam rap songs somtimes for fun. Like that "Laffy Taffy", "Knuck If You Buck", etc.:thumb:

Got the new Ludacris album today


Definately very good

[QUOTE=The Jungler;13333757]I never really listened to that much G-Funk sans some Snoop singles. I suppose I should.[/QUOTE]

I don't either, but i really like Dre, he's definitely class, and some of his stuff with Snoop is killer.

[I]The Chronic[/I] is awesome.

Agreed ^

I love Dre as a producer, but as a rapper he's kind of a joke.

Kind of?

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids;13337535][I]The Chronic[/I] is awesome.[/QUOTE]

The production and ghostwriting are awesome.

[quote=Cocaine;13338530]The production and ghostwriting are awesome.[/quote]Yeah MF Grimm

I'm yet to hear this dude.

[QUOTE=JonM;13340444]Yeah MF Grimm[/QUOTE]

I got American Hunger, and to be honest I'm not sure what to think of it yet. I'm finding it hard to get into him as an mc, his flow is just so sluggish and basic.

I was bringing him up, by the way, because he wrote many of the lyrics on [i]The Chronic[/i].

Have you listened to the whole thing, Kaden?

Fergie is kind of ugly.

That's kind of a massive understatement.

If she has such a good voice, I don't understand why she has to make songs like London Bridge.

Oh yeah right, she doesn't have a very good voice.

[QUOTE=Eliminator;13345186]Fergie is kind of ugly.[/QUOTE]

and johnny cash "kind of" liked to wear black.

i concede

You guys need to check out Louis Logic immediatly. Seriously amazing MC.

I've listened to most of it, meaning all of discs 1 and 2 and some of 3. There are songs where I like his rapping, but then there are songs where it's so basic I can't get into it, regardless of whether I like the beat or not (ie Playground).
