Hip Hop
MilkmanDan:
--- Quote from: Catatonik ---Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Volume 2, although there is moments of braggado, it focusses mainly on his dissatisfaction with the government and actually intelligent issues.
--- End quote ---
Immortal Technique's ego is larger than a couple of continents. Intelligent Issues, yes. Lack of braggado, no.
Praeserpium Machinarum: If you are down with the UK sound, try Roots Manuva's latest, Awfully Deep. It's mainly about the fact that he can't deal with his success and the breakdowns he has experienced because of it. Which is pretty unbraggadolicious, any way you look at it.
Sagre Francis - Personal Journals, too.
Hip-Hop is based on clever word play, and unfortunatley (for you) much of it is clever word play about how great their clever word play is.
Catatonik:
I actually agree about Techniques ego, which is why I went for Volume 2 over volume 1...
Admittedly it's got some heavy braggadacio moment (heavy) but the songs that don't are worth it.
Especially Peruvian Cocaine, The 4th Branch and Cause of Death.

milkmandan, you're going to have to wait on that headshots, my copy here at college is scratched to hell so I have to wait until I go home next week to get it off my original. But yeah, I'll do it.
Also, the whole bragging thing is just a part of hiphop. I mean, to me it seems that indie is about how personal it can get while hiding the meaning behind elaborate metaphores, and emo is about being as vulnerable as you can be, and punk is about countering popular beliefs with alternative sound, and hiphop, in part, is about giving a message and propping your self at the same time. It's a lot easier to rap about how you're better than someone that a real message. and come on, some of it is funny.
