show us yr blogs

Wow I hadn't realized this was such a fraught topic.

only if you're an overly self-conscious white guy who likes hip hop

um a perfectly self conscious white guy

what about perfect white guys

perfect white guys are too busy cataloging the glyscemic index of their foods to listen to undie rap

perfect white guys rapping in undies

I get more embarrasses, year on year, for liking niceguysofokcupid rap favorite 'the cold vein'

ha ha def jux forever get therapy

lol

I remember downloading some mix lagoon put on ilx a long long time ago and it was like all kelly clarkson

I love the shit out of Fantastic Damage. There are instrumentals around, but I'd rather listen to the lyrics. What's a good rap album, lagoon?

uh that sounds like a kelly clarkson album get yr facts straight i am strictly grimy beats mad visual flows

mad poop flows, morelike

Yeah, there's tons of terrible undie rap but The Cold Vein is pretty classic imo.

don't worry everyone, liking the cold vein doesn't negate the other rap you like, and it doesn't automatically make you "that guy"

mad poop flows, morelike

i rap solid stools while the haters drool / i got sick ass beats with cool sounds like brrrrr and oooool

that has nothing to do with this thread tbh but this thread madeleine'd me into a rememberance of clicking on a mix hoping it would be good and it being kelly clarkson maroon 5 mashup after mashup

that does sound good tho idgi

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

*michael drop*

Imago have u heard killah priest

He's got some awesome tattoo the star of david on my esophagus/petrochemical post millennial sarcophagus/dromedary Islamic octopus type shit u might dig, way genuinely weirder than can ox could ever be

^ thees

theres a story that he was supposed to be the final wutang member but he fell asleep on the studio couch and they used masta killa instead

too bad because masta killa sux

on the other hand napping on couches is p sweet

hey now no said date is a pretty good album

i have never listened to his solo work, his other verses are notably the worst tho

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

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/39/Gas_Chamber_(cover).jpeg
check this shit out louis, some real out there cloud type shit

guys it's 2014, everything is everything.

but if you want some new art rap shit, there is Hellfyre Club.
