Hip Hop taken to new levels.

(just weird hip-hop)
(nothing mentioned about not wanting to shake his rump neither)
(I mean you can fuckin' dance to Hawkwind)

Because instruments are white!

Oh wait...

James

Oh wait...

That's not even clever...where's that sense of humor?

other than that i dunno

stockhausen wd be a horrible mc (though funny admittedly)

This was Rush's argument too. And Genesis. And Yes.

LeRoi Jones - Blue People

Read it motherfuckers.

And Anthony Braxton, Cornel West, Toni Morrison, and a bunch of other people too.

*cue ddrake: 'Ha ha, where is your sense of humor, dork, etc.'*

Seriously Ned, read Blues People.
To quote big lebowski.

"You're out of yr element donnie."

Bam.

James who started the thread - have you heard Kid Koala, or Peanut Butter Wolf's My Vinyl Weighs a Ton?

Read it motherfuckers.

and while you're at it don't miss Mr. Baraka's insightful, inspiring poem about the WTC disaster

Is the so called "progressive" really all that progressive?

and while you're at it don't miss Mr. Baraka's insightful, inspiring poem about the WTC disaster

And yet, Blues People is a more incredible work than anything anyone on ILM has accomplished...a more important work as well. That I can't believe more of you haven't read.
Baraka Rock-a's.

and what o_O examples for whatever writer that was to use! man Jay-Z can't spit at ALL, can he?

Artists like Dälek, El-P, Aesop Rock, Shape of Broad Minds, Oh No, Busdriver and Cloud Cult are actually pushing the art of hip-hop to new horizons

wait what the actual fuck? Cloud Cult? they are from here we played a benefit show with them they are like store-brand flaming lips!

bringing back that ol' new york rap:

Ha, you called him out for that at the time.

cloud cult are a bunch of hippies from northfield.

you should check out some other cool hip hop acts like the flaming lips.

high point of ILM imo

lol i can't remember all this bullshit i post :)

Lol Cloud Cult droppin tha beatz

was OP a troll?

totally sincere

Memories, the corners, etc.

OP sounds like a recipe for a Komar & Melamid least wanted hip-hop song

Although it kind of makes me want to record a slanged-up version of T.S. Eliot's cantos atonally autotuned over a hindustani raga sample with extended gamelan instrumental

OP not a troll, he used to run End of Media (film review site)

(ezra pound's cantos, rather)

still lol at that fastnbulbous post I quoted upthread

lol had no idea that was where that was from. love bulbous's posting in the #metal thread and his metal blogs, but damn, STAY AWAY FROM THE RAP lol

also seems he removed the Cloud Cult ref after H3lges0n clowned him for it in the OG thread (the original post on the net is still up!)

lol I think he meant Clouddead

haha that post is incredible.

course I can't talk too much shit, around the time he posted that I was only listening to Dead Prez, Consequence, Rhymefest, Blackalicious and Kool Keith, lol

thats a more respectable lineup tbf.

oh yeah I'll still stan for most of those d00ds, but I was also anti Jay-Z until like 2006 #shame.

James may just give up at once. If you are looking for good and actually musically sophisticated hip-hop, then that is not going to happen. And the responses in this thread show why. Hip-hop are doomed to stay shit forever, because the hip-hop audience has got this sick idea that musical sophistication is "white" (=bad).

reading this, i had no trouble understanding what dd was trying to say and i was trapped in the same what the hell is happening here torture.

It was a different era.

I've had the time of my life.

this is now a decade old thread.

Is there anything happening in backpacker rap in 2013?

lots of examples of what OP was looking for

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sIOqbWdOyg

Is there even a record label for this shit anymore?

yes, it's called bandcamp

ddrake, my comment towards you was much more addressed at your lame putdowns than anything else. Totally fucking cringeworthy. The error was in not singling out anyone else because a good 85% of this thread reads like a transcript of the time trials for the 2004 Cringelympics.
Sadly, because life is deeply unfair, I have no interest or desire in going back and singling out everyone on the thread who was acting the ass, so you'll have to settle for the following:

ATTENTION ILM PLEASE EAT A GIGANTIC DISEASED DICK OK THX

Now when you look up at the stars in the sky
It's really, the dandruff from my nuts, so fuck it
I got the rhymes and my rhymes are dope

5 minutes of talking about hip hop on this board and I feel like killing everyone.

new old board description

perhaps you are unfamiliar with the concept of "the rump" and why it needs to be "backed up".

Yes my dick, is longer than an Amtrak, train!
Runnin, from here, to Maine!
Nonstop - I rock rock and I shock
My dick is so big, that you can call the cops
You can call the National Guard, the Army and the Navy
But yo yo yo baby, my dick is really big
It's long, it's longer, it's longest, it's biggest
It's me, I even beat beat up the Jolly Green Giant with it
Cause his shit was smaller
I was standin off the edge of a bridge
and it was hangin in the water!! GOD DAMN MY DICK IS LARGE!
It's large, it's large, my shit is fuckin large!
