Conversation With the Devil is not on album base. Some of his other albums are though.

raus 10-24-2006 09:41 PM

Conversation With the Devil is his best, but if they don't have it get Horns & Halos. It's with Equipto. It sounds pretty differnet from Conversation, but it's still hella good.

I'll see what I can find.

[I]Hells Kitchen[/I] sucked.

It's been phonetically co-opted by English speakers.

Ayo for Yayo is the one song that everyone hears and jocks the [FONT="Verdana"]s[/FONT]hit out of Nickatina for. Not even close to his best. But we don't agree on anything, so there's no sense in arguing about it.

I actually liked that Nickatina album. I found Horns and Halos. Pretty cool stuff.

Look for Conversation With the Devil next, it's pretty weird and it's one of my favorites. I can send it on AIM sometime if you want.

I like the song, but [I]Hells Kitchen[/I] is one of the worst albums out there. I haven't heard any of his other stuff, so I haven't passed judgement yet.

Dr. Octagon performs at my school on Thursday. I'm psyched.

Anyone who doesn't already know, check out Dungeon Family. It's a sick supergroup from Atlanta. Look them up on Wikipedia for a full memberlist.

That Lady Sovereign single, Love Me or Hate Me, plays on MTV2 everyday before I go to school, so it's pretty much in my head every day. I'm actually sort of looking foward to that release.

Any other opinions?

And seriously, all OutKast dissing should be banned from this thread. Thanks.

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. :(

Rams 10-27-2006 01:36 PM

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.

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

[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.

sgrevs 10-27-2006 07:35 PM

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.

[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.
