Metal is imo raw garbage so rap that sounds like it is generally garbage. farmtrill was dead on, blondie has more to do with rap/hip-hop than death grips (although if the new album sounds like the linked vid w/o all that yelling crap...) And the freshman list was culled from the freshest up-and-commers who've been around 2+ years. seriously besides that girl (which i'm sure having her is partially a dig on asap rocky and something at the other horrible white girl rappers) all those dudes been around awhile. also in general that list has meant gently caress-all to the continued promotion and success of the dudes on it so w/e. TheFallenEvincar posted:Plus I thought that one song off the last mostly lovely Sage album was pretty cool- i actually like sage a lot and will still go to bat for him (really, dudes one of the best lyricists ever) but that's just not the type of song a rapper should be making.

You think these guys are sitting around arguing about what genre their music falls into? gently caress no well to use your nonsensical analogy death grips aren't in the game, they're not a player, and they are only vaguely aware there's some activity going on. also i've not seen one actual "rap dude" bring up their album whatsoever. in the "rap game world" it might as well not have existed (hell, i heard about it from some indie rock list)

On another tirade I think Kendrick Lamar is probably my favorite rapper right now.

And to see your nonsensical correlation between my "nonsensical" analogy and what I was actually referring to, I can see why you may think that. I was talking about the OP in which you depicted rap as "smoking blunts with lil wayne and doing songs with waka". Just because Drake is considered in the game, does not in fact make him a rapper, dude is an actor playing the part.. And vice versa with Death Grips.. Just because some people may think of them as a rap group, does not in fact put him in the rap game. Labeling music goes against everything music stands for, which is the overall message I was trying to relay here

I don't care what anyone says. Hopsin has bars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGDTY8NqgYY I haven't hear anyone go off like that in a while. I don't understand people who can defend Danny Brown and then poo poo talk Hopsin. Danny Brown sucks massively, and he looks like way more of an emo bitch than Hopsin.

40 lbs to freedom posted:every single analogy or talking point of hopsin has been said or been done to death. he might be able to rap but the fact that he is still saying things like "rap is dead and i'm its savior" like there havent been 500 different people saying that is just annoying. he can rhyme/flow i guess but his subject matter just isnt compelling at all. danny brown on the other hand is a unique character that is saying and rapping about things that are surprising/funny which is why he is worth listening to. This. It's like he's a good cover band of Led Zeppelin.. Yeah he's good, but whens he gonna play some of his own poo poo? He's trying to hard to live up to a gimmick

Nobody gives a poo poo about Hopsin. "You won't be around next year" Danny Brown appeals to me because he doesn't rap to be famous. He raps to rap. I miss that and it cool to see a new artist that still does it. He reminds me of Redman and I think he will be around as long as he wants.

The thing that bugs me about Hopsin is that he's obviously talented. He COULD be a good rapper if he wasn't so corny. I'm rooting for him a little bit because he dissed Tyler during the height of Odd Future hype, for a while I felt like I was the only one not on the whole OF bandwagon.

Lol that was as blatant a publicity grab as you could find. He saw another horrorcore dude bust out with his schtick and get praised and was mad and tried to get some pub off of it. It kinda worked though so good on him, but that was lame as gently caress.

Been really digging the green ova dudes. Surprised they hooked up with Danny Brown, since he's about 10 yrs older and not from that scene at all but they seem to pimp each other's poo poo a lot. Hopefully he tightens up their flows a bit too.

Danny Brown is the poo poo, yeah he looks like a clown but there's something really genuine about him. Like if you called him on looking like a clown he'd stab you and steal your shoes. Hopsin needs to get over Ruthless records, it just makes him sound like an angsty teenager.

Can anyone recommend some albums that have really industrial-sounding beats. A friend gave me a Techno Animal CD (Brotherhood of the Bomb) about 8 or 9 years ago in high school, and I remember digging the production - the MC is definitely hit or miss, though. Here's a sample Cruise Mode 101.

I think CanOx is the closest thing out of these two to what I'm looking for, and that Viktor Vaughn album is my one my favorite Doom albums. Also, speaking of Cannibal Ox, how is Vast Aire's solo stuff? het posted:I'm pretty sure Techno Animal collab'd with Dälek, and they have a similar sound. Check out Absence. I saw these guys open for ISIS a long time ago, and they were loving great live. I have only really listened to "Abandoned Language" and it's pretty good, so I'll definitely check this out.
