Clinamatic's venture to the rap dungeon

[Clinamenic]

i have to ask, what was the race of this professor?

Black, American. Think he was from Chicago, where my college was.

 

[Clinamenic]

and what tv studio was this?

also you can't tell me that speakers going hammer doesn't make sense to you? it means they're hammering out sound, the sound is going hard

CBS, in Studio City CA.

Yeah the phrase makes sense to me, I just think it's an awkward phrase. Could just be regional differences though.

yes that could be that Soulja Boy from Atlanta(well born originally in Chicago) but there is a difference

so that @luka can stop bothering me about this

Here @Clinamenic here's some late 90s abstract raps for you to sink your teeth into

this one features the aformentioned Scaramanga but its him adopting his different personas (sir menelik,chewbacca uncircumcised etc etc )

and a CLASSIC cut from the Project Blowed camp off the first A-Team album

 

[luka]

if you think that qualifies as 'bothering you' you should try and walk a mile in poor old Craner's shoes

Really liking this Sir Menelik one so far.

These are my favorite two, at this junction of the rap dungeon.

Yeah in all fairness @WebEschatology you haven't had your "well being" "relentless[ly]" "assault[ed]" like Craner has.

I like the singular complexity of these two, in addition to the nice rhythms.

probably cause Luke knows for all his "trickster" antics i'm fine with taking the long journey up to his yard or where he's writing up poems and ruin it all

singular complexity huh? explain cause from my experience stuff like that tends to mean "uses alot of big words and raps really really technically"

 

[luka]

lol, its probably not that!

maybe not i don't have the history with craner like others do

Well it could simply be my lack of exposure to the genre, but even seeing past the big words (which obviously seem employed as such: big words), I think the hyperintellectual riffing is interesting.

it is but it was something of a dead end at that point well the Scaramanga style was that Rakim model of rapping pushed to its limit even by certain guys who at the base of it still needed to learn the basics first before they could do what the Blowed guys were doing.

somehow very technical but feeling freeform and loose at the same time, one of the guys on OG crew Volume 10 actually has a classic track on his hands "pistolgrip pump"

in the light of that Four HRSMN album coming out (which i've decided we're gonna do a dissensus book club on it) @luka get yourself prepped

its funny to think that this particular model and skill set of rapping was prized so highly by a segment of rap fandom once upon a time, Luke pins peoples backlash against this to Eminem but i feel like that's too easy at a certain point with Eminem it was less about his rapping and even his music and more just about what he represented. he wasn't the only rapper of that generation whose prizing and focus on being able to bend the English language to his whim led to his downfall just the most visible.

There's a guy i used to follow, white guy from Philly who made this interesting point with Em about how as much as he clearly earnestly loves rap and respects the black musicians who pioneered it it just doesn't come out in his music its still very "white" for a lack of a better expression

 

[luka]

there was a time, a long long time ago, i was excited by the thought of the 4 horsemen album

here @Clinamenic these next 2 will be like catnip to you as the temporary classical music scholar if you don't recognise the samples, oh how i will laugh at you:

 

[Clinamenic]

I thought they both had interesting sounds, but I didn't recognize the samples, so let the laughing commence.
