Kush & OJ is one of the best mixtapes ever. Is that an unpopular opinion?

You could say that I see where you're coming from with that a lot of his songs he says a lot of outrageous stuff , but then again there are those songs where he doesn't do that so much . Peep the Martyr album . Give the Martyr a chance is pretty underrated not a lot of people talk about it, and IT released it for free on his site . I honestly like most of IT's music but I can see where one would view him in such a way .Originally Posted by solarius49
Its funny because I used to listen to alot of both of them, and now I cant help but feel like Immortal Technique is vastly OVERRATED. �I feel like he is just good for shock value. �I liked watching him on those old battle shows on the public access network, but I cant get jiggy with him anymore.Originally Posted by MoodMuzik75
I agree about Immortal x 1000 i got Violent by design by Jedi but haven't really gotten into them otherwise, any album suggestions?Originally Posted by kobe4threebang
I feel like the High and Mighty and Alcoholiks get lost in the shuffle when talking about great hip hop groups

He's good, but I'm not totally understanding the wild hype there. Add Joey Badass as his +1 to that, too.

well here are some of my opinions. i guess ill stick to mostly hip hop as well.
- drake sucks. i mean, unless youre a 13 year old girl, i dont see how you could like his sht.
matter of fact, all these new school mcs like drake, wale, wiz, j cole, big sean, etc just dont appeal to me. they get by on hype/style instead of substance.
- Big KRIT > all those rappers mentioned above. i think hes the best rapper to emerge in the past 5 years or so, maybe even 10 years.
- nas > big > jay z
- andre 3000 > jay z
- the only jay z album i can listen to w/o getting bored is reasonable doubt.
- watch the throne was mediocre.
- kanye west is underrated as a lyricist and overrated as a producer
- ugk is very underrated. RIP pimp c.
- atmosphere's overcast! is one of the best hip hop albums of all time. slug and ant are both underrated.
- the weeknd is a terrible live singer.
- swedish house mafia, afrojack, avicii, n similar acts dont produce/play house music. theyre like the rebecca blacks or justin biebers of house.
- skrillex is to dubstep what soulja boy is to hip hop.
- the chemical brothers > daft punk
well, basically as far as house music thing goes, those acts i mentioned make/play commercial, cheesy pop music with a house beat (4 to the floor).Originally Posted by solarius49

theres no soul, theres no groove. this topic has been debated in the team electro thread if you wanan check that out, but
instead of me explaining it ill just give you examples you can listen to.
the track by SHM sounds like everything else on the radio these days. whats the difference between this track and say a recent usher or britney spears song? nothing.
theres no soul, no groove. just cheesy vocals and synth, nicely packaged with a "drop" made for fist pumping.
now the 2nd track is a proper house tune. groovy as fck, chunky a ss basslines soulful vocal samples...i dont think i need to explain any further.
if you wanna hear some more proper house, theres a house thread as well you can check out.
the 2nd point about skrillex is similar in reasoning as the point about house. proper dubstep should be about the SUB-BASS and some crackin a ss percussions.
its NOT about the "filth" aka distorted midrange synths (the stuff that sounds like robots fu cking). skrillex basically took a small part of dubstep and amplified it 1000000 X, effectively creating a caricature of dubstep (brostep), a hollow shell of what dubstep should be, just like soulja boy did with hip hop.
the 3rd point, i really just prefer TCBs sound over daft punk's. less cheese. less fluffy sht. i like daft punk's older stuff but the newer stuff is just meh. too pop-y.
plus i just think TCBs are way better producers. a lot of daft punk's biggest hits are sample based, where they take entire basslines, entire drum sequences, etc. w/o much tweaking. doesnt seem very creative to me.
Joey Badass is alright,definitely not the next coming of Nas.I can't stand when people call Joey Badass the second coming of Nas
'Watch the Throne' is by in large basura
'N***** in Paris' = Horrible record
