Immortal Technique

[Optium]

A kid I met at a party burned me Revolutionary, Vol. 2 the other night and
I've been listening to this CD ever since. Are there any fans here?
Personally I think he's one of, if not the best rappers I've ever heard, my
previous favorite was Aesop Rock but this guy is just amazing.

one-genre frame of mind and don't even bother replying.

I don't like MOST rap, because MOST rap that I hear is populist crap, but I like SOME rap and I'm curious about the style of this artist you mention, elaborate more?

[Optium]

Well this is basically a dude who puts out his own CDs, doesn't sign
anything and is all about the underground. The anti-sellout if you will.
I agree with you completely though that MOST rap is crap. Hip-pop is
bad, but hip-hop is excellent. :p

I uploaded the album for my friend Addie so she could download it and you
can check it out if you want also. Number 2 is one of my favorites if you
want to check that one out, if you like it feel free to download it all.

I'll download it all now, copy it to my MP3 player and listen to it on the way to uni tommorow.

What kinda backing does it have? As in, instrumental I mean?

Your webserver is slow as a mutha.

And I'm into some hip-hop, at least when it's less...suck. You know. I'm a big fan of <a href="http://www.mcchris.com">MC Chris</a>, one of the big names in the nerdcore hip hop scene. Yeah. I'm checking it out.

Can't expect too much from a free 50 mb webserver. ;]

17kb/s isn't bad when you've had a 56k for years >_>

[Shoeberto]

I'm getting <5kb/s, actually. I'll just leave my computer on tonight to get it.

I don't like ra-... oh, well, i'll be off then.


Actually, I hate rap, but that is because the only rap that I know is the crap that they play on MTV. So how is this underground stuff? Ill check out that website later, when im done playing my bass.

That's exactly the point man. When people say they hate rap they're
usually thinking of Nelly or 50 Cent. Avril Lavigne sucking ass doesn't mean
that Led Zeppelin sucks, and it's the same with rap...check this stuff out
and if you can get your hands on some Aesop Rock, definitely eat that up,
if you like this stuff at all.
