killer mike raps el-p produces "R.A.P. Music"

also the cold vein is awesome, dunno why anyone would have ~issues~ w/ the liking of it

El-P's beats clomp more than they stomp that's my basic issue with this whole Run the Jewels deal

Killah Priest 'heavy mental' lp is a personal classic. Good rec for LJ.

lag∞n even if you are only in it for hearing other wu members in looser form you should check the first two masta killa records

two

lol ty folks

i feel i come closer each year to a sincere appr'n of 'mainstream' rap - when i cross this rubicon, it'll be like there's no functional difference between the 'two' sorts. a happy day indeed

LJ just assuming you already know Dr Octagon but if not run tell dat

i got the octagonecologyst record, what i've heard of it is p sick in >1 sense :D

check out Dalek

m8, I been proselytising Dälek for like 3, 4 years now, they're my favourite rap group (vmic)

someone's gonna say New Kingdom now lol

If you like to hear some actual rap music, I'd recommend Divine Styler's third album, Word Power 2, it has some awesome cryptic Islamic lyrics with a dystopian sci-fi tinge, and cool, dark electronic beats too. Spiral Walls... is basically an experimental rock record made by a rapper, with loads of aimless noodling, that for some reason has gained a cult status. (Maybe because at the time no rapper had done anything like it?)

that's one way of putting it

It's so funny that Divine Styler was put on by Ice-T & that the Rhyme Syndicate album has both DS and Everlast's first appearances

Ha this made me go through some old records, dude you need to check out 13 & God, collabo between Notwist & the hip hop group Themselves

at some point in my thirties i imagine I will be on public transport and some algorithmically determined internet 'radio' will serve me with a track from 'fantastic damage' and my heart will shrivel and stop and I will literally actually die of shame

srsly everyone who reacted to this straight fire beautiful vulnerable post with "lol get help" wow u r dumb and prob not very cool to be around

Yeah f those people

I like the post before that one better tbf

yeah I was feeling that one myself actually

idk maybe i'm just kind of bored by undie-bashing. That whole scene mostly petered out more than a decade ago, and it's not like most of these dudes are living high on the hog.

feel the same way about post-rock bashing, to use an analogous genre

when you gaze into the backpack, the backpack gazes back

point is, fans of music that slavishly flatters yr intelligence, that post was self deprecatingly saying "lol look how hung up i am on this trivial thing", and then you all were all "lol cant u see how hung up u are on this trivial thing boom roasted hi5*

it was more an ott response to seeing the "when i was a fool i loved def jux but now i'm a grownup who listens to dipset" story still having legs twelve years later

ha ha def jux forever get therapy

hmmm

lots of bold stands here against unpopular independent label rap music from 12 years ago.

xpost yeah?

otm

otm theres no way these guys didnt get a joke^^

yeah, or it was kind of a lame joke one or the other

probably it

sorry i didn't think it was fire like you did

prob to busy carrying a torch for defunct rap blog beef

still not really seeing why you think "lol Def Jux forever get therapy" is anything but me being ridiculous in response to someone else's ridiculousness. talk about a faulty joke detector...

talk about a faulty joke detector haha right fellas

i actually kinda like run the jewels

i dont really industrial music but killer mike is cool

If you like the artsier end of backpacker rap, with spoken word stuff and off-kilter samples and all, you might enjoy The Infesticons:

A few years later the same folks released another album as The Majesticons, this time the idea was to parody rap trends of the era. The parody might be a bit dated 10 years later, but the album still sounds remarkably good. Doing populist rap in the name of satire actually meant there are some really fun and catchy tunes on the album, much moreso than on the decidedly backpacker Infesticons record:
