That sounds much more promising than Slaughterhouse, at least in terms of making listenable music. Although I'll give Slaughterhouse some credit since unlike a lot of these supergroups, they actually put out an album (and most likely will have another).

I'm not super into hip-hop, but I think I'd really like more "punchline rappers". I really dig early Eminem and the aforementioned Celph-Titled, are there other people I should be checking out who basically just compile sick couplets? I've never heard of a punchline rapper before.
Few other artists were mentioned too, coupule others I'd add. Wordsworth is big on punchlines, although I don't think he's put anything out in awhile. Vast Aire also does that type of rapping a lot, but he's also got kinda this odd style so maybe he just lacks breath control to link more poo poo together idk. Tame One's another fav of mine. Really most of the Demigodz and Weathermen (former and present) will do that poo poo. So if you do pick up the Demigodz CD/EP just check for the solo artists (although Apathy and Louis Logic also have a lot of more straightforward rap on most of their albums[also why I think they're probably the best but w/e]). There was a Weathermen cd called "Conspiracy" iirc that should have a bunch of dudes to look out for as well.

Also not sure if it would be your thing, but most of the battle rap poo poo is pretty punchy, but since it's a battle it's more gonna be focused on snapping on dudes than making actual songs. It's not really my thing but they do have a lot of nice lines, I don't know who's big really now but some names I remember are Serius Jones, Murda Mook, and Jae Millz so they got a lot of youtubes of battles that you can check.

copywrite poo poo
Talked about this in the last thread, he had some beef (over money or something, can't remember) with a bunch of the weathermen then got stomped. He came off looking real lame afterwards, and I think that killed a lot of his momentum at the time. He formed his own group O.D.O.T. and put out a mixtape around 07 or so, haven't heard anything since.

For the guy asking about punchline rappers, Vakill's got some pretty decent punchlines but I wouldn't call him a punchline rapper.

Basically everyone on this track is worth checking out if you like that style of rap. Copywrite's "beat the odds like an abusive freak show owner" line always makes me laugh when I hear it.

"6 Minutes of Death" with Joe Budden, Jae Millz, and Stack Bundles is pretty much punchlines from start to finish.

Well if you like punchlines, you gotta check out Thinkin' Thoed off Paul Wall & Chamillionaire's Get Ya Mind Correct (one of my favorite albums of all time).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBFLAdMOIu0

The intro is pretty great and Paul Wall's verse at about 50 seconds in gets ridiculous, but the whole song is full of gems. It's not a bunch of battle rap lines, rather a bunch of gloating about how much money and toys they have (want).

a couple of random lines from track 3 posted:

:cmon:

there was a degree of sarcasm in the Soulja Boy being given the title of "himself." and it is notable when a multiplatinum artist features on a little-known (to my knowledge) New Orleans artist.

Justin Bieber is talented and since his collab with Kanye I am interested to see the sonic results of a collab between him and Asher if that wasn't an April Fools joke.

not sure that point in particular was deserving of a :cmon:

Hey look I'm not a dipshit if you asked the most hip-hop heads/rap listeners outside of Louisiana (probably in Louisiana too) then they probably would not know who the gently caress that was off the top. That's also why I put the disclaimer *to my knowledge.* I do appreciate you sharing that with me though but relax.

A friend of mine described him as a “more soulful version of Yelawolf, possibly even better” and while I don’t agree with that summation I do agree he has a penchant for creating a more traditional southern soulful tune whereas Yelawolf’s songs sound a little more experimental, like the entire song took a hit of crystal meth. Perhaps Rittz could be looked at as the Big Boi to Yela’s Andre 3000.

This is the 4th of July Mixdown he did in 2007. Its 4 hours long of 90s rap starting in the early 90's and moving up to about, I dunno, 1998. It's straight up old school, camouflage jansport backpack, punch a dude in the face for staring at you greasy, run him for his avirex leather jacket, hip hop.

Most of you probably wont enjoy it until he gets into about hour 3 but the way he and cypha cut it up and the strolls down memory lane make it a pretty awesome mix.

Did the Del interview last night and I ended up giving him a ride to his own show which made me nerd out pretty hard. We talked about what he's doing and trying to do. He said that they're actually nowhere near done with Event II yet and he's supposed to hook up with Automator after the tour. The other thing I'm excited about is he said his label is trying to get Doom to do an album with him but it's hard to get in touch with the guy because he's slowly become a complete recluse.

That's pretty cool, any way we could check the interview out? I will say I'd actually be surprised to ever see another album with Automator though (is anyone even checking for that anymore?) Did you ask anything about his thoughts on the industry currently?

And I remember when Doom first started having people pretending to be him doing his shows there was some speculation that he had some health problems, I'm wondering if that's not the case. I can't think of anyone else who was that prolific just totally disappearing right when they started breaking through (especially since Doom never been shy about how money-focused he is/was). Or maybe now the money's just not enough to make him bother.

I would say a Doom/Del album would be...interesting. Not sure how it would work though, since neither of them has a real high-energy flow.

Yeah that was one of my first questions actually and I'm going to post it as soon as I can, my home computer is down.

He mentioned the whole fake Doom thing and how he's pretty sure that that's all that he was doing, coming out with an album every time he wanted to make some cash and just stays with his family. Afterward Doom's excuse for having another guy do his shows was that Doom is techinically a character and Del was like "C'mon man you can't just say that poo poo after the fact"

I just like the idea of Del/Doom because after ICP/Twiztid they were the two rappers that really got me into hip hop. Realistically it might be a little off-balance. I think Del is sort of high energy, or at least his flow has its own special kind of emphatic, while Doom's voice is real grainy and mellow.
