Official Hip-Hop/Rap Thread

This Death Grips tape Government Plates is really good. Not sure I'd associate it very much with hip hop though.

This Death Grips tape Government Plates is really good. Not sure I'd associate it very much with hip hop though.

That album is definitely their least "Hip-Hop" release yet, but I'd still call them experimental Hip-Hop/Rap. Tracks like Bass Rattles Stars Out the Sky, Whammy, and Hunger Games have a very traditional Rap feel to them. Hip-Hop like Metal/Rock is very diverse, but most people only hear and see mainstream Rap and think that's all there is.

I have never heard of this guy before, but I came across this single and am very excited for his upcoming project.

This single's lyrics + release (maybe even album?) art has me hoping its a concept album, as it reminds me of a certain Section 80...

 

[JoshuaVonFlash]

I love you guys

 

[JoshuaVonFlash]

This is pretty good, didn't know he was this good a lyricist. Still some typical non sense wording thrown in though.

mcaaaaaaaaaaaa get on the mic ma maaaaan

beastie boys are the only thing that matters

 

[AdamMaz]

This is the best NYC throwback I've heard since Bad@$$' 1999.

Sounds like great mix of a Premo beat with a RZA bass line thumping around

Probably too mainstream for this thread, but I listened to this album all year.


It's a free download btw.

 

[AdamMaz]

I haven't been a fan of most of his solo work since the first Trunk Muzik, this included.

His various collaborative EP however have been great!

 

[Don Vito]

This is the only album I like from him Too much club stuff on the first Trunk Muzik, and Radioactive was just lame.

The only thing I didn't like from this was the singular theme they used for the beats.

I listen to rap mainly so Im glad to see some ss.org rap fans

Yelawolf is pretty good, I'm on a huge Yo Gotti kick right now, he's kind of similar

i recently got into these guys, although they dont come off as it at first, the deeper you look into them and interviews etc theyre very spiritually aware intelligent people. theyre like the white zombie (all the way down to the name) of rap when it comes to style and sound kinda haha. especially meeches voice reminds me alot of rob zombies, when you compare robs singing and talking voice and meeches rapping and talking voice. architect is the best though imo. he always tears it up.

I thought the guy in the thumbnail was Tyrone Biggums for a moment. Had to do a double take. Killer song though.

Am I the only one into Bobby Digital/The RZAs solo stuff?

 

[AdamMaz]

The award for best sample of 2014 thus far goes to Alchemist.

 

[DLG]

^pretty sure agallah produced that one. dope as hell though.

roc marci's my fav rapper of the last two years. maybe even best producer.

everything he does is hype.

No love for Dangerdoom?



My personal fave:


What about Team Teamwork?

 

[Pweaks]

Cool thread! Here's something I've been listening to lately

 

[The Beard]

Holy hell, no mention of Scroobius Pip???





I love his spoken word SO MUCH. It's so creative, dark, and beautiful. It blows my mind that he used to battle with a stutter.

 

[DLG]

No love for Dangerdoom?

I like it, but it's one of Doom's worst albums. still good, but Operation Doomsday, MM Food, Madvilliany, Vaudeville Villain are all much superior.

 

[davidengel]

Did anyone post Devin the Dude yet?



What about UGK?



Everyone loves Scarface!



Don't forget the Geto Boys!
