Funky Jazz Rap Steez…
Thursday, May 31st, 2012
By now you’ve come accustomed to the Doppelgangaz doing some hazy funk shit. I don’t know what the Dopp trips on, but I can’t wait to get me some. The Doppelgangaz do shit how I would if I could. Their look, their sound, their steez are all original and fresh.
Underground rap from the dungeon with a funky drummer underneath all of that. You can’t tell me you don’t feel this shit ‘What am I’?!?
This is that future funk.
El-P’s Got The Cure…
Monday, May 28th, 2012
The DefJux rap revival went down crazy last week at Santos. El-P’s movement was rock solid and went line for line with him on his latest project. That is what you call a fanbase.
Matt Raz and I almost didn’t get inside but Despot stepped out and pulled us in. Just in time for the rappy business too. Despot opened the show with some new shit and his classic joint cRap Music. Despot brought out Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire during his set and let him rock some of his bangers for the people.
The rappers we saw that night comprised one of my favorite types of WTF lists with Despot, eXqo, Heems from Das Racist, Killer Mike and El-P. The show was a alt-underground rapnerd’s wet dream and El-P’s backing band kept shit funkier than I expected. Cancer 4 Cure is a DOPE album, but it’s more than a music project. El-P’s album is a testament to survival. In art, in business, in life. I’m gonna put it in the 2012 top list no matter what else drops from here on in. I think this is the future for underground rap music.
R.A.P. Music Saviors…
Saturday, May 19th, 2012
Killer Mike is one of the few Hip-Hop artists who hasn’t become dismayed with the rap listeners despite the shift in the music industry’s support for his type of underground rap soundtrack. That’s prA’li because Killer Mike has the attitude of perspective of the traveling griot who would go anywhere to deliver a parable to the people. Killer Mike is more prophet than profit.
Killer Mike’s latest CD ‘R.A.P. Music’ comes to us with no fanfare or propmotion. If you know what’s good for you then you know it’s out here. I had to post this track with Bun B and T.I. because it is so damn hard. Plus Bun B merc’ks that shit by putting ‘onomatopoeia’ in his verse. Who does that in rap music in 2012?
Killer Mike feat. Bun B, T.I. and Trouble – ‘Big Beast’
Killer Mike’s album was produced entirely by the incomparable El-P, who himself is dropping a brand new project called ‘Cancer 4 Cure‘. It sounds like El-P’s studio is the nexus for the hottest underground rap music dropping post-2010.
I didn’t start fuxing with El-P until I heard him rap on the Das Racist album ‘Relax’. Ain’t that some shit how I came to listen to this legendary producer and emcee from left field rap? That’s how it be sometimes tho’. You ain’t late as long as you get there.
“to the mother of my enemy, i just killed your son
he died with his face to the sky and it can not be undone
he didn’t die hard, in the end he just grinned and bowed
made him dig his own grave at the point of a gun while he laughed to the gods out loud”
