Atmosphere is really meh. I don't like Slug, period.

How so?
--- Quote from: Spencer ---Sweatshop Union - I keep coming back to these guys and liking them more and more everytime I listen. Socially Conscious, but tounge in cheek at the same time. They don't take themselves too seriously, which makes them a lot more bareable than the j5's and the talib kwali's.

Yeah, Sweatshop Union is one of the best groups in Canadian hip-hop recently.
cacahuate:
My votes go to Jurassic 5 and the Roots.
The Streets, anyone? *laughs uncontrollably*
devinjames:
See, this is exactly why I don't like talking music with indie people. Sure I share common interests in the good music of our time, but only if said good music is independent and/or relatively unknown. It's a closeminded stance on contemporary music. And I get flak for it in my college radio crowd. And I'll get flak for it here. But
50 Cent is great. G-Unit is great. Contemporary mainstream gangsta rap is great. All incredibly talented rappers. Very interestingly post modern expression of contemporary culture.
Arguments against are all just bullshit. Stories told for justification of showing a cold shoulder.
Just dig it.
McTaggart:
I can dig it at parties. Maybe shows if there was a smaller crowd, but not when I'm thinking.
rynne:
I'm listening to Dälek's Absense right now.
The phrase "hip-hop My Bloody Valentine" gets thrown around a lot with these guys, but it's not an inaccurate descriptor. The beats are massively weighty, and the vocals are half-buried under gossamer waves of treated synths, guitars, and static.
