OT: The "Official" Hip-Hop Thread

YouTube · Post #1 » by **Kerrsed** » Thu Jul 1, 2010 10:05 pm

Just figured i would make a Music thread (all the good boards have them) to kind of share any good music and what you have been recently listening to.

I mostly listen to Hip-Hop (but there are some exceptions). Lately I have been listening to Die Antwoord (The Answer). They are a Hip-Hop group from South Africa that was just signed to Interscope Records last month.

So, what have you guys been listening to? What groups/bands do you recommend?

Surprisingly I'm probably the only person from the Vale who doesn't like rap and/or hip hop. Ska punk and screamo are the way to go :lol:

Ive seen Tech in concert 6 times and have met him twice. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME stage show. If you have never heard of him, go cop his albums. He even encourages his fans to download his music for free. He is a true artist!

Tech N9ne is alright, saw him live once. By far not the best underground rapper though.

never really did check tech out, but he always had my favorite verse in the anthem

Underground-ish hip-hop, I have to add

Jedi Mind Tricks
Alchemist
Atmosphere
Fort Minor
Linkin Park

I also listen to just about every other genre, WAY too many to name!

EDIT: I know Linkin Park isn't underground anymore

The new Brotha Lynch stuff is hot. Here is the first 3 chapters of his new "Dinner and a Movie" series. Glad to see Tech signed him to Strange Music.
