am I the only one who finds live hip hop retarded?

it always sounds like shit to me.

an excuse to have 40,000 people on stage with you repeating every third word with the MC, cause every one of them niggaz has a mic

 

or maybe this is just my personal experience

 

you've just been checking the wrong stuff

 

but believe me, i am the first to admit that there is much more horrible hip hop out there than good stuff, but there is some stuff worth checking

 

 

SPLINT2 > YOUR LIFE.

i agree.

 

If you listen to that new Sway and Tech "Back to Basics", there is a skit where they sell this thing that does the "oooohh" after every thing you say to make it sound good.

 

I hate most live rap music. Fuck outta here with your fat, sweaty hypeman.

 

I don't even like live any type of music. I'd rather be smoking weed at my rest with the 1000 watt system bangin', in stead of some steamy place where white bitches are stepping on my shoes and waving their arm around while they go "oooohhhh" after a pop-culture reference in the lyrics that they didn't even get. ANd then they go and talk about "the show" after. Fuck you and your "show". "Show". "Show." Pfttt.

Thought I'd add the following hip hop records I actually do like.

 

Arrested Development- 3 years, 5 months and 2 days in the life of. ..

 

Atmosphere- Godloves Ugly

 

Krs one- Edutainment.

 

No doubt someone or another will have someshit to say about the last two. But whatever, they are both good albums.

 

Godlovesugly- Vocal takes are the way I like them, well layered, strong and with a sense of rythm. Rymes come with a different approach. Less concerned with flow and more concerned with the way the actual words sound together and the effects of them. Beats are well made and well layered with sounds. (All of that shit is unlike some other rappers I've heard :cough: doom :cough:)

 

Krs one- Rythmically awesome (dude swings on snares like an orangotan). Delivery is always powerfull as is the general sound of his voice. Beats have a raw funk which is fucking great. Politically orientated lyrics with a simple funky flow, its just right for what he's trying to do. On a side note Another good example of a rapper who tries to educate people and says his shit simply so you'll understand but still makes it sound good is a uk dude called Braintax. Get his birofunk lp.

 

I think alot of people don't take those albums seriously because they're too cool for it. Like they think of Atmosphere and think of emo chicks and want to be hip hop hipsters and they think of Krs one and think of snotty nosed backpack kids who really really want to be hip hop. But fuck that shit. Those albums are well made and lyrically worthwhile. I couldn't care less who else is listening to that shit and whether they understand why its worth listen to.

 

End Rant.

At the moment I'm just feeling like most rappers don't have shit to say thats worth hearing.

 

 

You're obviously not paying attention to Doom because he flows backbeat and the vocals aren't over-produced.

 

 

I'm only rhyming where the drums is at

Y'all niggaz think y'all slick wit that bullshit bump that

Y'all pay V for flowing to the beat

Not for what he know that got hoe's hoeing in the streets

That's for him to know

And for they to never find out

About the kidnap, blind fold, and the blind mouse

The coroner report say he simply signed out oh

And I know

Y'all wanna see a wino bring the wine out

 

Cat wit a dead mouse is how he catch the phrase and pause plays wit it

Kill it

And eat off it for days kid it

Who ever ain't get it ain't supposed to

 

For standing still close to

Bandits will ghost you

No shoot Sherlock

I don't know how they do on your block

Out here we rock on to the sure shot

Shit still ain't stop keep it on till your peeps is gone

We be on the creep no matter what you keep it on

CD whop

 

V!

Catch the beat to ridiculously

People think he study levitations true mystery

How to power an envious scallon till he got him for his sweet 16

He said Ed be wilding

Rumor has it things got violent

He clobbered him and broke the fuck out

But he ain't try to rob him

I told her don't tell your man that's the trouble with these chicks

Next experiment

Twelve strands from double helix

 

No

I haven't seen Kess Felix

Oh yeah

You stay away from her with those lyrics

Please

Aint nobody fuckin after her

I'm out of here as soon as I fix the flux capacitor

N O N and speak to V in a proper manner

before he stabs ya and put out all type of propaganda

Stop the slander

Chop the hand of a thief

And cut the mouth off of who ever comes out they teeth

 

V sell time to an inmate

And then tell him a rhyme for the hell of it to demonstrate

They know who's the renown beat critic

Do a street lyric like that's a neat trick

Off on a tangent

He ain't got a cent

Supposed to go to management and spent it getting bent

Sparky

I had enough of your malarkey

For one don't mark me and who you calling darky

So I read half of that then stopped. To be honest, I still think that shits wack.

What you call "not overproduced" I call sloppy. I'll admit I have a special preference at the moment for mcee's who layer their vocal takes to get a rich sound, but at the end of the day I just like good vocal takes however dude got them. Krs ones vocals are a good example. On lots of his old tracks they are every bit "not over produced" as that MF shit but they still sound good because the prescence is there and the diction is there. I don't think Mf doom has any of that.

As for that 3/4 time over a 4/4 beat style or whatever its meant to be. I'd like it , or atleast appreciate it if I could see the guy had worked on the style some, and crafted it. But it doesnt sound well crafted at all.. Its just some dude rapping off beat and sounding wack while doing it. A good example of a group who rap off beat but still are worthwhile are this Australian group called celcius, get there self titled debut and you'll see the difference.

Lastly, I'm sorry, but personally I thought all that shit in that ryme was the type of content I've heard over and over. Possibly with the exception of that line about paying v for ryming on the beat but not for what he knows. I thought that was clever. But even thats the same thing I've been hearing all these decade. We all know about the problems of making marketable music and industry injustice and all that ish.

 

Thats just me though, keep listening to it if you feel it. I still don't understand why you do, but thats cool. Personally I think I'm going to smash the buzzer on my alarm and give the whole Mf revolution a fucking miss.

 

On a side note, whoever recommended purple rain by prince- thumbs up.

 

on.
