Thanks for the recc -- I had no idea this even existed, and it's killer. I also just found out that Kno and Tonedeff are collaborating for an album due out this year, which should be awesome. Tondeff's verse on Love Ain't has some of the smoothest, fastest flow I've ever heard.

It's been due out next year for nine years.

I wonder if Celph is gonna have to stop saying the n-word now that he has a music video and people can see how blatantly white he is

He's Cuban, so I think he can say it as long as he doesn't rhyme it.

I was curious to see how long he could ride out the "All-star small part Marge and Bart Simpson with a small twist I'll fart and start your car engine." kinda scheme.

Turns out not very long.

Hey, what are some good pure orchestral hip-hop albums/artists? I've heard a total of two hip-hop songs with just orchestral backing, but I'm having trouble finding any more that sound good.

Hilltop Hoods - The Hard Road Restrung is basically their hit hip hop album but orchestrated. My favorite track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=1v3TwyDAu5M

Also, anyone heard of Kembe X? I just got his mixtape and I'm really looking forward to what he does next.

Yeah that's what's so great. Eminem is to Christopher Reeve as Hopsin is to Easy E's wife.

That is what battle rapping is these days if my intense youtube scholarship of scribblejam et al. going back several years is anything to go by. Occasionally someone will go double time but usually it's just couplets, with the best battlers capable of keeping a rhyme going for longer and thinking on their feet. "And you just dropped the mic 'cause you not really gripping it!" still stands out as one of the best battle rap finishers that really decisively won that I've seen in years and I think that was in, like, 2006?

Not sure if it was something different before, and I can't find much of anything before the battle rap olympics in 97-98, hopefully someone who knows more than just what kinda poo poo gets put up on youtube can educate me and you at the same time as to a better state of it, I dunno.

It's also a whole lot of anticipation and adaptation.

For instance a mediocre battler with a large nose will write a verse that starts with "So you're making fun of my nose again..." and that's going to be what he says no matter if he's going first in the battle or if nothing at all about his nose was mentioned.

The most successful battlers change angle of attack if the other guy's lines are hitting. As a crude example, "You are ugly and (a really joke that will make the crowd laugh)" vs. "Your dad split when you were in fourth grade. Split as in torn limb from limb in an accident with a chainsaw blade."
