fuck american juggalo son. real talk. i dunno, but good for them! major label money!

[shai faithe]

you didn't like it?
i thought it was great.
weird about the epic deal though. i had no idea that they were attracting that kind of attention. i gotta get me some of that blog buzz.
you think since cash money sign lb, that death grips will do some work with korn? ::fingers crossed::

[ellaguru]

Why did I not like Pl3dge when it first came out? It's great!

[elpollodiablo]

I really didn't like it when I listened over the summer. I remember thinking it was really preachy.

[ellaguru]

Also on my first time through Return of the Boom Bap. Also a pretty darned fine listen, shoulda got to that a while back now.

[ellaguru]

Yeah, Killer Mike's got an agenda, but I like politics in my hip hop. And the beats are solid.

[ellaguru]

But yeah, I didn't like it in the summer, either.

[mrwednesday]

q: being entirely working class, do i have more of a claim on hip hop than the middle or upper class white male?

Yeah, you get a commemorative chain with John Henry wielding a hammer on it.
Also, I'll give anyone 100K to jack the chain Chet won.

The follow-up single, the self-produced "Cold As Ice" (which featured a sample from "Cold As Ice" by Foreigner), also received radio airplay,[5] although almost half of the song's lyrics had to be censored for the radio version. It was used in the UK on a TV advert for Ice White toothpaste. Both "Ante Up" and "Cold as Ice" reached the top ten on the UK Singles Chart peaking at #7 and #4 respectively.

that video is glorious.

i have been dipping back into late 90s rap videos after noz mentioned tyga's "rack city" song (which even makes it to the radio here in Austin unlike 90% of rap/r&b music).

in particular: jt money and sole's "who dat," black rob's "whoa," ice cub and krayzie bone's "until we rich," mob deep and nas' "it's mine," noreaga and pharrell's "superthug,"504 boyz' "wobble wobble." (links)

I haven't actually seen it. I am just being preemptive.

I am happy for Zach Hill in Death Grips ... that dude is FOR REAL. He needs major label money for his cool.

[milly balgeary]

I really didn't like it when I listened over the summer. I remember thinking it was really preachy.

He also compares himself to Jesus in the best song, and although I don't really care, at the same time, it's lame. I think he's alright though. Mediocre. Some good songs.

[dieblucasdie]

Pl3dge is so good. It is preachy, but only in spots, and I think Killer Mike does preachy well, since there's a genuine anger behind it. I definitely lol @ Jeezy's "maddafact dawg, free all my niggas" every time though

[milly balgeary]

The part he's like...Jesus blah blah..and says, "he's similar to MEEEE!".. is horrible.

[dieblucasdie]

Aw, c'mon, "Jesus never took a plea in court" is gold.

[fishjim]

I'm just waiting for the Lil B "I OWN Jesus" smackdown.

[elpollodiablo]

Keep it in the designated thread, fanboy!

[fishjim]

Hey man, I'm playing fair. In context!

At least I didn't thank him or anything based like that.

[dieblucasdie]

I'm just waiting for the Lil B "I OWN Jesus" smackdown.

Well, the next mixtape IS called "God's Father"

[milly balgeary]

Aw, c'mon, "Jesus never took a plea in court" is gold.

No, it totally is. It's just that one part where he says..."kinda similiar TOOOoo me!"... I think that actually might be the best song on there, but it just pisses me off, and I'm mostly an atheist. When I hear it, it grates on me, and that's the song I listen to most.

[dieblucasdie]

I don't know, man, I think that verse is awesome.

Bishop Long, what is up with that monkey shit on your head?
Last I checked, vanity was a sin, the Lord said
On my life, I believe you put boys off in your bed
Though some New Birthers and Catholics ain't going to like what I just said
But before you fix your mouth and try to come with a retort
Please be advised that Jesus never took a plea in court
And he never had a plane, and he never had a car
And he never had a church that was visited by stars
But he did have love for the poor and the thieves
And he was in the street, kind of similar to me, nigga.

And, I mean, you know the whole background, right?

”If you are a bishop, yet you are not  Episcopal or Catholic, why are you a f**king bishop?” Killer Mike questioned.

Though I suppose it's obvious at this point why I like this
