MilkmanDan:

--- Quote from: Bunnyman ---I'll respectfully disagree with you on Gangsta Rap, citing that (a) It has some of the best beats and rhymes of any kind of Hip-Hop, (b) writing off a whole genre is silly. Very, very silly.
--- End quote ---


Fix'd.

I used to (We're talking maybe two years ago, not ancient history) be "Oh I love Rhymesayers, Anticon and Def Jux. That's real Hip-Hop, that mainstream gangster stuff is shit". Then I realised I was being a dick. So I started listening to Mobb Deep, Smif n Wessun, Nas, Canibus, Wu-Tang, Geto Boys, Early Snoop, etc.

Alot of people seem to think that Rhymesayers / Anticon / Def Jux have the monopoly on "Real Hip-Hop", and that they are somehow fucking superior to people who listen to other Hip-Hop. It depresses the hell out of me, to be honest. "It's all guns and ho's" is such a bullshit cop out.

And on a final note, Bunnyman: Seven's Travels is by FAR the worst Atmosphere album. It has 4 good songs on it, tops. Get Lucy Ford, for the love of God. I'd probobly rate Atmosphere's proper albums thusly:

Lucy Ford
God Loves Ugly
Overcast!
Headshots: Se7en
You Can't Imagine How much Fun We're Having
Seven's Travels

Lucy Ford is always top, Seven's Travels is always bottom. The rest switch vary.

chrysalidigm:
maximum agreeance milkman dan. while anticon etc are brilliant, why people get so up on the hating of new gansta stuff is beyond me. sometimes it's fun to get all thugged out. drop some crunk into your diets. ludacris, li'l jon and so forth.

kid_militia:
highly recommend hip-hop: Optimus Rhyme.
Too many good things to say about them... The dynamic between the band and Wheelie Cyberman is just perfect. They've got songs available all over the place; their website, myspace, and even iTunes recently - check them out! It makes me happy to hear some damn good hip-hop coming from seattle. Their great guys too, I've met all of them in the area (actually found out about them when I had a class with one of the MC's)

The 100th Monkey, another group from their label is pretty decent, too, though I don't know the music very well.


After the mention of Wu Tang, another notable hip-hop group is the Gravediggaz. Horror themed hip-hop, its insane, gruesome, and funny. [/url]

Galang:
You Can't Imagine How much Fun We're Having  was probably the shittiest album released this year, that said Felt 2 was freakin amazing!

öde:
Why has no-one said Beastie Boys?
