Murrr Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 So the Killer Mike album is fucking brilliant.Currently jockeying for my attention with the new El-P. Both are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Still not good hangover music but I’m listening to Death Grips a lot just now. That ‘Beware’ song that samples Janes Addiction and Charles Manson is awesome. Rap is not a genre I tend to be up to speed with so if anyone knows of other bands doing similar stuff to Death Grips please let me know.You might like P.O.S' LP 'Audition' (His best album IMO). It's perhaps not as full-on as Death Grips, but it's almost along the same lines. It has alot of samples of punk/hc basslines, and the delivery of the vocals gets pretty aggro. Definitely on the more aggressive side of hip hop, without getting all 'gangsta' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Currently jockeying for my attention with the new El-P. Both are excellent.Listened to Killer Mike and El-P last night. The Killer Mike album is my favourite of the two, but only by a nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 thread has just reminded me I was chatting about death grips with a girl on the beach at 7am this morning.Cool story bro....I haven't listened to the new El-P yet but intend to.

Guest Giles Walker Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Not sure if i already posted this a while back when the mixtape 'dropped' but i just noticed it had a video and i kinda dig the slightly Eski style beat.Edit:I posted it just one page back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 2012 seems to be a good year to like hip hop.Going to see this kid on thursday. It's gonna be rowdy I think. Anyone have any more suggestions along these old-fashioned, fuck-choruses, relentless-beat kinda lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any more suggestions along these old-fashioned, fuck-choruses, relentless-beat kinda lines?I promise you i am not trying to sound patronising here but... the mid to late 90s and the early 00s has a wealth of this sort of stuff. The beat used on Survival Tactics is a beat from the early 00s, Styles Of Beyond, if i am not mistaken. YupUnless you are talking about acts with the idea of trying to catch them live. In which case, fuck knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, fuck knows.Yeah, I know all about the mid 90s stuff. That's pretty much all I listen to. I mean nowadays. I'm kinda tired of a lot of hip hop at the moment - that's why that joey badass track struck a chord, it's more what i'm into. I don't even know what the style is called but i'm not feeling it at all - slow beats where the kick drum sounds like a timpani, the snare is really poppy and there's always a lot of handclaps. Drake and all them.everything sounds like this to me at the moment: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake and all them. Hate this production style. It just strikes me as incredibly lazy: I can go into FL Studio and recreate that exact paper-thin snare sound in about 10 seconds. It doesn't sound good to me in any way, and as soon as I hear that snappy, shitty snare in a song I usually know that the rest of the beat is gonna be honking. Then again, I'm a massive beat nerd. I'd usually rather listen to a a mediocre rapper go over a good beat than a good rapper go over a mediocre beat. Part of the reason I can't get into Odd Future is because most of the production is completely terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I've been listening to a bit of Jay-Z, and I've been kind of enjoying it. I'm not really into hip-hop/rap, but would like to get into it, as I always like stuff that I hear. Can anyone recommend a few "essential" albums I could check out? Consider this hip-hop 101.

Soda Jerk Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Death Grips have split up.That's well bollocks.One of the best modern hip hop groups I'd heard. Nobody was really doing anything like them, or ever have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 They tweeted something like "we are releasing a new album this Fall," the other day, which is why I was a wee bit skeptical.I hope it's untrue. The Money Store was great. AY AY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 It seems to be an unconfirmed rumour, as they were meant to tour the US. Then they just cancelled with some brief message saying "No upcoming dates. We are completing our new album" or words to that effect, and now EVERYONE is pissed.

Paranoid Android Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hope it's not true but there was something weird about the way they cancelled their tour. I should have got to see them in May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
