Rap/Hip Hop

[Vimana]

I've heard a lot about Necro, got any recommendations?

Check this out.


I like the beat work. Its a lot better than mainstream Rap here.

 

[InhaledDarkness]

I actually do like rap, but its not something i listen to everyday.

 

[Vimana]

I like Rap a lot. Its been around a long time and has gone through great stages.

 

[Kinked Out Jesus]

I actually went to rock the bells this year (=

but that was mainly for ratm. I really enjoyed Immortal Technique's set.

I love the "God Loves Ugly" album by Atmosphere.

The Pre-Fix For Death

 

[Vimana]

Interesting song. I've never heard Organ in Rap before. Adds a great morbid feel. Awesome.

I never liked hip-hop until one of my friends started showing me some underground stuff. Groups like Jedi Mind Tricks, Necro, Ill Bill, etc.

Yeah, it's only the underground stuff that's worth listening to

Listen to Canibus - Poet Laureate II

Best Rap song I ever heard.

you should check out jay z and nas's new stuff i really like ja rule's single your body too

 

[Vimana]

Rage Against the Machine was great at combining good guitar and great flow.

That was kinda stupid. In some songs I think they have good flow like in Fistful Of Steel, Bombtrack, chorus of Killing In The Name. But in stuff like Know Your Enemy, Township Rebellion, and Freedom they didn't.

now in my opinion, that's the stuff that isn't worth listening to...

Mainstream rap is not bad if you take it for what it is: party music.

 

[Vimana]

Very true actually. Like Techno. Its not music that is really meant to be listened to.

Chinese Rap

Thats pretty good.

Ever heard of Nujabes? He's a Japanese rapper.

I've also been listening to Dizzee Rascal, a British rapper.

 

[False Joe]

Dizzee Rascal is one of the few rap artists I actually enjoy.

And the bloke (Indomitable maybe?) that raps over DJ Format's jazzy tunes.

No, you still listen to it.

 

[Vimana]

Depends on the techno.

Theres some techno a lot of people I know like dancing to and would never listen to. But there is techno I like listening to. But lots of Club Music and Techno is repetetive shit that sucks ass if you're not in a club or at a party.

Anyway

I just heard RATM's cover of Fuck Tha Police and can't get enough of it.

Yea, hes pretty badass.

Yea, Big Beat is a great form of techno that can be both listen to and dance to. It might be up your alley if you want a more practical form of techno music that is not too commercial and has some experimental qualities.

Gang Gang Dance is a great group within that genre. Check them out.
