Optimus Rhyme

(1/5) > >>

Guru:
After reading through this entire comic series, and exploring the recomended listening section, I realized something...there's not a single hip-hop/rap refrence.  Normaly, this would be fine with me, as I absolutely detest the standard hate-filled 'I'm such a gangsta' scene.  The one rap band I *can* stand, and actually really enjoy is Optimus Rhyme.  The main thing about them is the two main vocalists (sigh..yes..rappers) are backed by a great funk trio.  This isn't your standard played out of a box-filled with samples-crapfest...its all about funky baselines weird guitar riffs and the like.  I'm not a very good reviewer, but having just picked up their second album which is just as awesome (if not more so) then the first, I felt I should be spreading the word a bit.
I mean, c'mon..how can you not like a band that pretends to be Transformers throwing off the yoke of the Whackacon oppressors, and still manages to fit in a song about Ping Pong?

Anyways, here's a few review links, and the band's website, which has several songs available for download..give a listen, I think you'll find them surprising :)
