i know people dont like riff but his music is very fun

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Why? + Dose One + Odd Nosdam = Clouddead. Abstract ambient hip-hop from Oakland, Ca. Anticon label

 

[davidengel]

I'm sure Immortal Technique has been posted previously in the thread, but this isn't one of his popular tracks, I love all of "The Third World"!

 

[necronile]

Israeli rap(yes there is such a thing XD)
This is song is about weed basically

 

[heregoesnothing]

One of the best songs i've ever heard.

 

[will_shred]

How do you guys feel about Tyler, The Creator? and Odd Future in general?

I think some of his more "teen angsty" stuff is meh, like IFHY.

However I think a lot of his stuff is just brilliant, like this song for example.

Hahah dude I love Riff Raff, a lot of people hate him but you just can't take him seriously. He just has fun.

I didn't see him mentioned in this thread, but aside from all the bullshit surrounding him, I've really been into Drake's Nothing Was the Same record for a while now. Tracks like Too Much, From Time, and the notoriously infamous Hold On really hit me on that album. Give it a listen if you guys get the chance. There's the usual stuff by Drake I'm not too keen on featured in that record as well, but overall I really dig it. I'd link you all to those tracks if I could, but I'm on at work so I can't look up any YouTube stuff.

I'm really glad that this thread exists. Huge technician fan but i love listening to the classics, especially when I'm doing my setups.

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

Click image for Soundcloud single


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...

His first album "The Best Part" is a 10 outta 10 album. Must own classic.

 

[AdamMaz]

I found All Of The Above, but can't find that one.


Freddie Gibbs x Madlib project leaked and is very good thus far, ordered the LP

 

[JoshuaVonFlash]

Awesome fan made vid

Theres this underground style that im not exactly sure how familiar some members may be with, but its called witch house. it doesnt originate in south florida, but this style is definitely bleeding into south florida rap with rappers like denzel curry, and other small rappers. dark ambient, scary beats, but where as witch house is very calm (as to make it more eerie) rappers are taking that style and adding energy to it here in florida. thought Id share with some fellow rap fans to show a new upcoming style in hiphop.

 

[MrPepperoniNipples]

A Baltimore local
Super cool dude in person, too

 

[blaaargh]

Man I can't stop listening to the new ScHoolboy Q album. Strong contender for rap album of the year

I wouldn't say that Denzel or any of the Florida rappers are directly influenced by witch house. they are emulating old Three Six Mafia stuff more than anything else.

 

[teamSKDM]

Nah they definitely are into alot of it, I hear about it alot considering you know I live here haha. also note, that song I posted by denzel is about a kid being posessed by a demon that causes him to come off soulless, and commit crimes.

But even so, that earlier 3 six mafia stuff itself is a big influence in alot of witch house anyways as well so both influences kinda go hand in hand.

 

[DLG]

Ugly Mane just produced a really nice atmospheric track for Antwon, btw. Should be right up your alley.

 

[mongey]

been in a bit of hip hop resurgence lately. few months ago got put onto Tyler ,the Creator in an article and been listening the crap out of Goblin and Wolf . Got Bastard as well but dont rate it like the other 2
