This struck me as interesting:

Berner - Urban Farmer

^^combination of this artist/mixtape title is fucking amazing

Ha ha. Gotta love Berner. The weed carrier's weed grower.

damn, even Pusha-T's good on that King Louie

when's Dope and Shrimp dropping?

i don't really think that song is that hot *shrugs*

i should got back to my "end to end berners" dn name in honor

did you guys listen to the angel haze track? you really really should.

it basically left me reeling for about an hour each time i've listened to it (twice).

or to put it another way: i can't think of many tracks with that powerful an impact in any genre.

Which of them? The whole EP is great imo. But I'm assuming you mean Cleaning Out My Closet? It is pretty incredible yeah.

jesus, that kinda made me nauseous

not a good song w/a hangover

it's really fucking brave

no it's very affecting just didn't know what i was getting into

it's interesting that she chose that eminem song, too - explicitly linking herself to hip-hop's confessional tradition (which is kinda...niche, certainly at such a personal level?) but also an artist who frequently used sexual violence as a punchline

not sure how many lurkers there are but they have a donation page up for Stef/P.O.S. of Doomtree's kidney operation:

Not only that, the Eminem song is all righteous narcissism - and her song is about having your sense of self shattered. She totally turns the tables on the "male" songs on Classikz - Her Bitch Bad is about how it affects a young boy to see his father beat up his mother, etc. It feels like a much needed intervention.

shit is super hard to listen to.

it's fucking good though

I agree with UMS. Rap music these days sucks ass and is shitty. I even have a little joke where I call rap music, Crap music. It's humourous, but there's truthfulness within the humour also. Well, peace.

Q.Were there artists who were important to you when you made that decision?

A.Jason Mraz. Train — I love Train. The New Radicals. Paramore. Bob Dylan. Their artistic expression and emotion via their work helped me a lot with my own.

so classic

"Train — I love Train."

interesting that this is your sole response to the song

my sole response was "it's fucking good" if you're directing that at me

i posted this at the beginning of the summer but this track (beat esp) has really stuck w/ me

cali rapper who was on loverance "up" & e-40 "function"

the song of his i posted itt is great

wow, that angel haze song

lol canks btw

lex: unfortunately i'm not feelin angel haze musically :-( her flow is too stiff or something i can't vibe to it. obv think "cleaning out my closet" is brave, had a similar reaction to deej i think. made it through, but was very shook

thumbs up for nachos

val venis vid is p dope

feels essential that i post that there's a Baltimore rapper named Goon:

http://soundcloud.com/streetsertifiedgoon/victory-goon-ft-eyez

love that the song "Victory" is credited in such a way that it looks like his name is Victory Goon

although i apologize that i break my self-ban on posting baltimore rap for something that isn't good

Victory Goon would be the best. name. evar.

::plants flag::

lol

some dude why don't you post baltimore rap? i'd be curious what's going on

i still love that mullyman go harder than baltimore track from a long time ago

he runs a blog about baltimore rap that you can read: http://governmentnames.blogspot.ca/

ah shit didn't know govt names was still going! blast from the past

part of it's i don't actually hear as much as i used to, part of it is that i know if i started doing that it'd become the bulk of what i post itt and i don't wanna be that guy (xpost)

GN is barely active now, i just link relevant stuff that i get paid to write elsewhere.

In other news, Marvel just discovered that they could sue Ghostface Killah:
