gococksDJS said:I don't hate his genre, I hate him because his shit sucks.
gococksDJS said:I just don't see the skill it takes to rap. Freestyle battles are a different story, those are pretty damn sweet. Like in the 8mile outtakes when Eminem is not rapping so he can save his voice or something, and an extra rips into him between takes then Eminem completely pounds him in the lyrical anus. I've never heard 50cent freestyle so I can't comment on that, I just don't like his CD's, or guys like the Cash Money Millionaires. What kind of fags put diamonds in their teeth? Idiots. Playing an instrument takes much more practice and skill than spitting crap about the neighborhood you grew up in.

He's not one of my favorites, but I still like and I guess appreciate what he's doing as a business man and artist. It jsut seems like you didn't even give him a shot, maybe b/c you only heard the "made-for-radio" singles?

goandykid said:wow im actually really surprised to see 2 other people that actually listen to sage francis, aesop rock, slug, murs, atmosphere etc besides myself, iv been trying to tell people here about em in all thsoe msuic threads for months.
Immortal technique is still favorite underground artist of all time, if you havent heard him i GREATLY suggest a dl.
his song dance with the devil is off his first album, if you download any, make it that one.
goandykid said:My dad and I differ in the same way. He focuses more on the guitar, the beat, then sound of the voice etc...while my main focus is the lyrics. Rap songs lyrically are alot longer usually, with more advanced rhyming schemes to boot.
It taKES that much to fill up 4 mins of words, as opposed to guitar solo's nad 4 word lines in rock songs.
I'm not hating either, jsut IMHO. Like I said before, 50's old stuff is alot better than hsi recent stuff, i deff dont like CMM either. This mike jones bullshit and paul wall is horrible, the underground artists already listed,
Immortal technique
binary star
sage francis
zion i
benefit
aesop rock
atmosphere
murs
might turn you onto rap a lil bit
goandykid said:yea good descriptiosn all around bazooka
i own both IT's albums too, and i love em. new one in '06 apparently
I jsut love his flow, and I love how it isnt just thug shit, but political and meaningful, and yes..he's soooooo articulate/intelligent.
Anticon as a label jsut seems to have gone to shit, now that sage trashed it
On a sidenote, since u have the same musical tastes
what music do you use to lift to? I don't take my ipod to the gym anymore, solely b/c i have no hip hop that pumps me up really, IT used to but i know it too well by now to pump me up.
