Danger Bird 01-20-2008 01:17 PM

Just re-downloaded Dr. Octagonecologyst. Why the hell didn't I like this the first time I heard it?

kyle6677 01-20-2008 11:20 PM

i can see why it could be passed over. it took me a while to get into it, and i still dont like some of the tracks. Earth People owns lives, though, i love that song

HALFSHARKALLIGATORHALFMAN!!!!



love that album.

The Return is pretty cool too. Gorilla Driving a Pickup Truck+++++++++++

Wyko 01-22-2008 11:31 AM

So I've listened to the Madvillain album for a few times... and I just don't see what's so good about it. Could anyone explain?

Rams 01-22-2008 05:33 PM

Because MF Doom says random things that comic book nerds love and Madlib uses weird samples and avoids isorhythms? I dunno. It's ok, but there are no grooves to it and I don't like Doom's flow anyways.

This is one of the coolest things in a long time. I wonder how long he can keep it up.

Well, you were right. MF Doom is wack and has a lame monotone boring style and annoying rhyme schemes. boo boo and who blew the glue to the yoohoo etc. I don't mind his special herbs beats, but madlib is lame, especially the beat he did for the legends on Classic. I think it's called "blast your radio."


Anyone else feeling Blu and Exile?

40 oz 2 freedom 01-26-2008 01:37 AM

I've been diggin Blu and Exile

Win A Rabbit 01-26-2008 02:07 AM

Why is it that I like approx 1 out of 50 rap/hiphop artists/bands that I come across?

[QUOTE=Win A Rabbit;15896712]Why is it that I like approx 1 out of 50 rap/hiphop artists/bands that I come across?[/QUOTE]

I'm sure the ratio would be the same for just about every genre of music

Jaded 01-26-2008 05:32 PM

Well, the majority of rap music I hear sucks, but the majority of hip hop I can get something out of.


Anyway, I finally got my hands on 8 Diagrams, two tracks deep so far, sounds pretty good to me. Track 3 is alright, the bass gets a little bugged out sometimes, the hook is meh, but the beat is pretty cool.

Hep Kat 01-26-2008 05:37 PM

Does anyone else listen to Panacea?


Two guys making some fresh sh[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]t. I grabbed one of their albums, [I]Ink Is My Drink[/I] randomly at a shop about a year and a half ago, and it pretty much slaughters, like, everything.

Jaded 01-26-2008 05:40 PM

What label is it on? Who are they affiliated with? Who does their production?

myspacing...


Checked out their myspace...cool stuff, doesn't exactly slaughter anything, but def good hip hop. Sounds kinda like people under the stairs except these guys actually have good lyrics. You'd like the sound providers and the procussions too I'd bet. Also Lightheaded.

I saw them at their CD release party for the new album. It was an awesome show.

I know what you mean, I've tried listening to [I]MM. Food [/I]about 10 times and I can never finish the whole album, the beats and stupid rhyming schemes kill me.

Apocalyptic Raids 01-27-2008 07:27 PM

I like Doom's beats but his flow is annoying as ****.

Danger Bird 01-27-2008 08:41 PM

All right I loved Deltron, Dr. Octagonecologyst, and Bombay the Hard Way. What's some other awesome stuff Dan the Automator's done?

Happymeal 01-27-2008 09:14 PM

^You'll definitely like Lovage if you're also a Mike Patton fan.

Zebra 01-27-2008 09:16 PM

[I]Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By[/I] is a classic.

Handsome Boy Modeling School

sgrevs 01-28-2008 01:35 AM

HBMS is so good. [I]White People[/I] is sweet.

ATM 01-28-2008 12:42 PM

I love Dan the Automater but I really couldn't get into 2K7.

Interstate 01-28-2008 12:44 PM

I really should check out Dan The Automator at some point.

Tyler 01-28-2008 12:45 PM

Im sure you've heard his music without realizing it.

irishslappop 01-28-2008 02:06 PM

[QUOTE=Jaded;15904636]Handsome Boy Modeling School[/QUOTE]

There it is ^^

Iai 01-28-2008 03:41 PM

Handsome Boy are devastatingly inconsistent, though. They have some great songs, but a load of crap too.

I'm listening to [i]Stankonia[/i]. I'd forgotten how much I liked this when it came out, and how crushed I was when that double album turned out to be mostly wank.

Interstate 01-28-2008 05:20 PM

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15906411]Im sure you've heard his music without realizing it.[/QUOTE]

I probably have at some point. What album would you recommend to start out with?

DaveSavesTheDay 01-28-2008 08:29 PM

Just listened to some Aesop Rock for the first time today. It's pretty awesome stuff. Pretty intense lyrically.

I really hope you're not referring to the Love Below. Definitely something different, but amazing.
