Re: fans of underground rap?

This grouch album is sick. I liked his past work but still didn't expect him to come thru with this great of an album. "The Time" is my ****. Only tracks I don't like are "Artsy" and "Favorite folks". Everything else is damn good.

I think "Artsy" is his best track lyrically... I love the message he preaches

Agreed but I just don't like the beat that much. Gives me a headache.

Lyrically it's a great track, but in terms of flow..it's horrible. Great message, horrible delivery.

Re: fans of underground rap?

Imma need to give it a few more listens, but I'm not really feeling his delivery/flow like Nivek said. I love The Bay to LA though.

Re: fans of underground rap?

Re: fans of underground rap?


Artist: Living Legends
Album: The Gathering
Release Date: April 8th, 2008

Only 7 tracks and a half an hour long, but the experience is well overdue. Let it be known that Murs was the most outstanding on this piece, but the rest of the "dopest eight grown-men" go well together on every track. Yes, all eight will be spitting it on each and every track with that "can't top us" mentality. It'll be pretty hard to top the Living Legends going into 2008 with The Grouch's amazing drop, the touted Murs release, and whatever else they are planning on releasing this year. The track "After Hours" may have a lot of talking at the end of it, but it's one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Skit of the Year? Maybe. LL could also possibly be the Group of the Year. It's still early 2008, but don't pass on this one because you (and I) may agree by December.

• Grade:
  • 92% (A-)
• Song to Download:
  • "Luva Changa"

Re: fans of underground rap?

Ugh I hate liking music. My *** went and downloaded 113 albums last month. Thats over 7.8 gigs of stuff to listen to. Not to mention the 10-15 CDs I rent a month from the library. I can't wait till I get my Creative Zen M so I can listen to all this great music on the go.

Re: fans of underground rap?

I have albums that I downloaded years ago that I still haven't listened to.

Re: fans of underground rap?

Does anyone think that Lupe is a little over rated now? I thought the cool was decent and F&L was good, but now people are calling him a top 5 artist. I heard one kid say he was the best lyracist in hip-hop history. People really need to tone it down with this BS. Hes good, but can you compare him to Biggy? Big L? Eric B & Rakim? Nas? Black Star? Big Pun? Not even close. In my eyes, hes just a really good artist.

Anyone looking forward to the Guilty Simpson album? I'm buying it Tuesday, but I've already downloaded it, and I'm feeling what I've heard so far.

Overrated beyond belief... he's become the popular artist to bring up if someone in the room mentions "underground rap"... I don't like him, and I don't listen to him. There are many better artists out there that make more splashy songs. All of his stuff is too dead to me.
