Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein

"While it can be said that many underground crews have been floundering in the gray matter of indie hip-hop, Cannibal Ox filled that area in with 2001's The Cold Vein for El P's Def Jux imprint. The music press had been quick to point out that Vast Aire and Vordul Megilah's attack is at times highly derivative of the Wu Tang Clan, and the point is valid. Thankfully, El P (a serious candidate for producer of the year) lays out some of the most lushingly intriguing sounds and beats that feel as herky-jerky as they sound gilded with silk. It's a bit misleading to harp on the Wu factor that The Cold Vein contains since this record's content is immensely original and the Wu references that seem present are in the enlightened gloomy flow and psychedelic backdrops -- not, (with all due respect) in the kitschy hooks and unfocused rhymes that Wu Tang are also known for. Aire and Megilah swirl around in b-boy posturing and obtuse nonsense as their innovation rears its head at every corner with scatter-shot lines like: "And I ain't dealin' with no minimum wage/I'd rather construct rhymes on a minimum page," and "You were a still-born baby, your mother didn't want you but you were still-born." While there's not a throwaway track per se, the album's length does run a bit long (at least they didn't make it into a double CD as a lot of rap acts have been known to do). To their immense credit, Cannibal Ox and El P have assembled one of the most listenable hip-hop albums in far too long. Heads be aware: Independent hip-hop has a new voice and this is your beat fix for 2001."

The Beatles - [I]Rubber Soul[/I] and [I]Revolver[/I]

I think these have become my two favourite Beatles albums.

Zappa 02-20-2006 09:31 PM

[I]Madvillainy[/I] is crap.

pixiesfanyo 02-20-2006 09:42 PM

Madvillany isn't that bad.

But yeah, it's like Doom's worst material.

Beastie Boys - Intergalactic

I haven't heard this since 5nd grade or so.

I keep hearing "My Humps" in this commercial for ringtones or whatever, and I'm pretty relieved that it's not getting stuck in my head. What's the deal, Black Eyed Peas? Normally your shi[size=2]tty[/size] music that oversaturates ads is at least disturbingly catchy! I guess I should be grateful, but I'm just annoyed :angry:

^^^Oh, owned by Little Man :eek:

These girls (and one really flamboyant guy) were sitting in a circle in the hall at my school singing that today.

In Vancouver, there's a thing where you go up to a camera on the street, put in a dollar, and you get to talk to the camera, and they show it on TV. The other night, I saw a bunch of really fat girls dancing and singing that on the camera. I almost choked on my own vomit.

I cannot escape that "song." It's horrible. I can't fathom why anyone could possibly enjoy that.

It's not about the music really, it just serves as a reminder that Fergie or Furgy, whatever, is a part of that group. Everyone just tunes in and buys their stuff I guess to get off to her humps.

Little Man being Erased 02-20-2006 10:21 PM

Flamboyant? You mean camp, right?

Little Man being Erased 02-20-2006 10:22 PM

Fergie is repulsive.

The NPC 02-20-2006 10:24 PM

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]Fergie is repulsive.[/QUOTE]

Well she's the selling point so she's not to alot of guys I guess.

pixiesfanyo 02-20-2006 10:24 PM

I'd have to agree.

But then again.. there is your side project.

OH MAN HUGE BURNS

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Fergie is far from attractive. Plus that song makes me want to strangle her.[/QUOTE]

I like chicks who have that 40s Pin Up girl look.

Little Man being Erased 02-20-2006 10:45 PM

No, he did beat the cr[size=2]ap[/size] out of me several times though. Apparently he didn't swing that way.
