coplinb Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 So the other day I was browsing through that magazine section and picked up a XXL, which I rarely do, and they had an article about this kid named Asher Roth, he is some 22 year old white kid from the burbs that raps. You can download his mixtape for free at asherrothmusic.com and I'm telling you, I haven't enjoyed rap music like this in a long time. He sounds like Eminem in his voice, but raps about stuff that any white college kid would. Just thought I would let you guys in on this guy before he blows up!

Dont like this new stuff including this new kid.I know mobb deep and gangstarr make rap still today but I was talking about there early 90's I also love Mobb Deeps The Infamous(Favorite album to listen to as of late)So yes early 90's to mid 90's rap is what I prefer.

Balthazar Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 QUOTE (giant ninja robot @ Nov 25 2008, 09:25 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Long listGood stuff, except I liked Aesop better in his early days. None Shall Pass was pretty good, but I don't think Bazooka Tooth or Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives comes close to Float, Labor Days or Appleseed. Also, Music for Earthworms is underratedAnyways, I'll supplement your list with the following:Aesop Rock (This one a little older ^^)Sage FrancisEdanSaul WilliamsBrother AliSouls of MischiefAtmosphereEl-PSole (Mind the really shitty video, though)CageLeak BrosGravediggazMadvillainGZAThat's a beginning.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Balthazar, that Aesop song was curtains. I haven't heard his EARLY stuff you speak of. Early to me is Bazooka Tooth which I was pretty dissapointed in. I think he did his own beats on that which would explain a bit - just too dense for me.- I'd never heard Sage Francis solo before - cadence is sweet.- I first heard Edan live with Daggha is man he impressed me, especially when he spins, cuts, and rhymes at the same time.- Love the Souls of Mischief beat, classic- Not a big Cage fan- That Leak Bros track was fantastic: I'd never heard them b4, the beat was killer, lovin the strings. Nice Advent Children vid lol - well crap, beat is RJD2, no wonder I love it. I hear Cage? I actually like it.- I almost put All Caps on there too lol, looove the track, one of the best hip hop albums of the new millen- Kanye West = Fail imoSome lighthearted stuff from Murs and Supernatural, beat by Z-Trip. FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES CARTOONS AND CEREAL!!!! Love it!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP4u4I96DVQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
