Dude I've read ILM archives, I've been on Dissensus awhile, I've heard it all before. This is hardly a shocking pov to me at this point. Its just gotten where I've realized I don't really care about a producer taking his cues from techno/electronica/house. And many producers a lot of folks on...

...and I'm saying it's not all shit. What is yr point? Most of the people on dissensus have some degree of familiarity with obscure music. I'm saying that I don't think indie rap, particularly the shit that came out in the late 90s, is deserving of all the bile it recieves.

Yeah both of these are great. To whoever mentioned it above, not sure what's wrong with the last third of the Pearson mix!

I can understand why indie rap these days has a bad, er, rap. But there's so much great later-90s underground/indie stuff....I think lambasting it as a genre is totally unfair.

I mean gosh Vanilla Ice hasn't been dissed in a rap song for a minute. Fill the void. :p

Shouldn't you guys be railing against R&B choruses or hip-house or something?

I'm with you on wearemonster, and I LOVED Rest.

Yeah that's the one with "Shine." as far as his early stuff, I like that but prob prefer 500 degreez.

I donno whats so middle of the road about it, I wish ppl would get a bit more specific! I think he's an interesting persona and in a year so clearly about rapper persona vs. production 'scenius' i think its fairly representative (although Jeezy is prob. a better pick for "rap album of 2005.") I...

Love the original GMELT, love the remixes, this album is boring though. That DFA Holiday mix is KILLER.

Not feeling it at all. Before ppl label me an all-out hater though, I do like the new Lil Wayne which I understand is getting mixed responses.

I don't think the lyrics are bankrupt. Certainly they're not that straightforwardly dismissed! I think what I like about them as rappers is the total cold dispassionate approach to lyrics that often speak to incredibly complex and morally provacative questions.

This sounds fantastic. Can never get enough Lanquidity.

Yes. I was actually a huge fan of 2pac's when I was 10 or 11, especially loved "I Get Around" (I even had shock g's verse memorized!) and "Dear Mama" and "Keep Your Head up."

peep game on new can ox! http://myspace.com/cannibalox nasty myspace design but yo there's a song with RZA!

Tupac did get a mention, I was going to echo the sentiments actually. Or maybe that was different rap thread. Biggie is the greatest! He's my favorite for real. Start with Ready to Die although nowadays I think Life After Death is my favorite.

I mean I totally endorse taking chances, esp. genre-wise. Don't get me wrong.

I like it the way you describe it but I recently went to a club in Chicago where the underlying theme was like "trendy beatz from urban kidz" or something, baile funk - > Miami Bass - > baltimore club - > dirty south hip-hop...it was totally vibeless. I mean, part of it was the DJ just wasn't...

I dont know that this is true but even if it was why would it matter?!
