All Things Hippity and Hoppity

[Nouveau Pauvre]



am i the only underground nerd here?
louis logic, el-p + company flow, sage francis, aesop rock, my ***** slug, pretty much the whole weathermen crew (cage, yakz balls, camu tao RIP, breezy), mf doom, mac lethal, eyedea FOREVER, blueprint, murs, kool keith etc..
not so nerdy/underground selection:
elzhi + slum village (RIP dilla), lords of the underground, reks, blu, talib, mos, obviously blackstar, pharoahe monch, souls of mischief, heiroglyphics, dat ***** del the funkee homosapien, one be lo + binary star, evidence + dilated peoples, people under the stairs, the pharcyde, common, brother ali and so on..

I mostly stopped listening to this stuff when I graduated high school but I Still **** with El-P a bit. Also the Weathermen. Cage and Yak Ballz at this tiny bar in DC is one of the better live shows I've been to.

talking about watch the throne big sean and j cole really killed it on looking for trouble


greet me wit a middle finger when you see me
it’s cool, ’cause I can’t see yo’ ass from this side of the TV muthafucker

talking hard, but y’all still ain’t push me
they say you are what you eat, and I still ain’t *****


also i like how people who claim to backpack or talk about how underground their knowledge is always talk about the same exact artists

Me and my cadre of fat Black fellows are just in from holding our over night vigil.
I must mention, I Love My Bitches is indeed the best song out right.

Something about this song takes me back to the hip hop I listened to way back when... Blackalicious, De La Soul, ATCQ, etc.

2 Chainz doesn't do much for me lyrically, but there's some damn fine production on his new tape. Particularly fond of this, which samples Gladys Knight's "License to Kill":

I have listened to Phonte and 9th Wonder. Both albums/mix tapes are ok. Nothing special.

+1. The Phonte joint had some songs I really, really liked, but both albums were ok overall.

Help me understand the appeal of 2 Chainz. It's well known thatg he doesn't write anything, right? in the past successful non-writing rappers have either been:

Chicks
Kids
Producers
Executives
Celebrities

How hoes a regular rapper get a pass?

 

[rennavate]

Eazy-E didn't write his own lyrics. Dr. Dre doesn't write his own lyrics.

An executive and a producer.
