Re: fans of underground rap?
Not sure if anybody has mentioned Felt yet, but I'm loving their second album Felt 2: A Tribute To Lisa Bonet. I just got the album today and I'm hooked.

Originally posted by sportsdudegood question, and I would say no, except can he really be called mainstream? I mean, even people who are huge KanYe fans still don't know who Kweli is. I know he's had a few videos in rotation, and he did the commercial for the Big Ten, but I don't think people know who he is. They've probably heard the name but wouldn't recognize the face.
Anyway, I don't really know how to label him, which I think is a good thing. Plus, I don't really care what he is, as long he keeps producing good records.
Agreed. He's one of the best lyricists in the game.Comment

Re: fans of underground rap?
Yeah, can we please stop comparing everything Kweli does to Reflection Eternal? I mean that was a classic and to expect greatness out of Kweli on every track is not realistic.
Also, I had no idea Felt existed even though I've listened to Atmosphere for the past 3 years, and when I heard Felt 2 (my first Felt experience), I was blown away. Truly good stuff, it's heavy in my rotation.Lux y VeritasComment

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)Comment

Re: fans of underground rap?
I was never a huge fan of Doom... I would go as far to say, he was on my "Never Listen to-List" along with Eminem, 50 Cent, and G-Unit... I never liked Doom, but I'm starting to like him a little more as time passes...
I HATE DEAD PREZ tho!SAN ANTONIO SPURSComment

Re: fans of underground rap?
Why does everyone hate Doom so much?
Reasons why I like Doom...
-He throws away what a rap song SHOULD sound like and he expands the boundaries of the genre
-He's a very good storyteller
-Very creative
-Nothing he does sounds forced
I'm not blown away by his beats, and to me, thats the most overrated part about him. All he does is take a classic song, loop it, and throw some drums on there.
Mmm..Food is a great album, along with Vaudeville Villain (Viktor Vaughn) and the Madvillainy CD is just a CLASSIC.
Plus, it's hard to say he's overrated when the majority of the people here don't like him. Either people REALLY like him or REALLLLLLLY hate him.Last edited by 3rdAnswer; 03-12-2006, 10:38 PM.-Jay Illestrate, Emcee/Producer/Graphic Artist
