Maf Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I will add all this stuff tomorrow all recommendations welcome and thanks 1
Maf Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Reasonable Doubt is probably my 1st or 2nd favourite album ever. And even though I’ve heard this song sixteen million times, I only recognised how good it is when walking the other day. He raps really good on this
Maryokutai Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I think they did some stuff for Hellblade II as well? Might have to play that after all.
Snaggletooth Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Quote "I'm a freak" "I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me" "I'm a creep" "Cos I got no self esteem" 90's is when the youth were so humble. Saw the above comment on a youtube video for a 90's music video Dont think its that we were humble, Just everything seemed Fucking Fruitless, No Hope, No Dream. Generation Zero Summed up there! Regardless we made some fucking good music. On a Silver Chair Fix right now 1
one-armed dwarf Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Here's an anti-recommendation for Mad Men, this thing is permanently stuck in my head now
Craymen Edge Posted March 31 Posted March 31 I've listened to the new Sleep Token song a lot in the last couple of weeks. New album in May. Also listened to Ren's appearance on Fire In The Booth more times than I can count.
shinymcshine Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Bruce Springsteen was the first musician I saw live in concert, and I was a huge fan - but drifted away a good number of years ago - preferring his older stuff to any new offerings. Then a twist of fate saw me going, at last minute, to his concert at the Principality Cardiff last year - where fortunately most of the set list was the older stuff that I knew and loved. Anyway, he's just announced the release of a 7 disc set of previously unrealised material - for what feels like a rather astonishing price ! Really - what are they thinking !?!?

I always wanted that Roswell guitar from the Freak video, but they were stupidly expensive (also it wasn't really the sound I had, I liked a fuller sounding guitar) Also, Silverchair were the first band I went to see live when I was about 13/14, and we weren't sure if we'd get in, even though the band were about 15 themselves 1
Snaggletooth Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I never realised they were so young at the peak of their fame, nuts to think!

Oddly enough my mum has said she likes REN so it’s always put me off listening to him. But a reaction to this came up the other day and I watched it, and it’s very good. I think it’s all performance, delivery, styles, flows, timing etc. He really raps well on these beats. The writing has good, dense rhyme patterns but in terms of what he’s saying it’s a bit light and whatever. The rhyming is better than the punchlines. It’s weird how a lot of what he talks about is video games and comic references then talks about guns and gangster stuff. It’s like ok, white boy. White rappers are a thing now but rap also declares pretence at authenticity at least and you’re not pulling that off But he’s a very good rapper. This is clearly him coming in and trying to turn the place upside down and he definitely succeeds at that
Maf Posted April 12 Posted April 12 So after listening to the above I fell down the REN rabbit hole and actually he is really good. This song below is the middle part of a trilogy called Jenny and Screech, but I think this is the best part The way he knocks on the guitar like a door, uses the guitar like a gun, and the line “AND THEY CALL ME FUCKING SCREECH!” might be the most satisfying line delivery…ever? I dunno. It’s so much fun Listening to a lot of this guy’s music over the past week he is very good. I think what makes him so good is he’s musical choices. He lets just enough influences in from everywhere from rap, jazz, Spanish sounding music without ever actually committing to a genre. So it’s not a genre fusion it’s just a mixture of a lot of different influences and styles which end up really unique sounding I’ve seen some people describe him as a rapper, I think he calls himself that to in some songs. I have tbh, I think measuring him as a rapper only he floats around 6/10-7/10. He’s only ok. But again mix in his music ability, and he shoots right past that.
DANGERMAN Posted May 5 Posted May 5 the anime bits in that video are great. The song, I'm going to politely say, is not for me
Maf Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Just heard this while out on a walk Wretch 32 is incredible. The rhyming here is so complex and he makes it seem so effortless. He’s the kind of guy I always forget about (Because he’s UK and rap is obviously mostly US music) but he has to be in my top 5.
Maf Posted May 7 Posted May 7 I fell down this rabbit hole of Big Push covering I Shot The Sheriff/Hip Hop reaction videos and this black guy is almost tearing up watching this white guy do reggae and rap. It is an incredible performance, I love it as well
