That hip hop thread...

In loving memory of Rich Homie Quan

“Lifestyle” is also considered to be the breakout hit that helped Young Thug get brought out even more into the mainstream. Quan, on the other hand, was also popular in the 2010’s in his own right.

So in shitty news, Ka died. I think his output has been consistently great throughout his career and his penmanship was close to unmatched:

Dude was also a captain for FDNY and a 9/11 first responder. Sucks to see him go at age 52. RIP.

Let’s see what you guys think about some Aussie hip-hop.

Evil Eddie - Golden Age

Kid Mac - Lunatic

Funkoars - Team Idiot

Butterfingers - Everytime

Hilltop Hoods - I Love It

Hilltop Hoods - Monsters Ball

Bliss & Eso - I Am Somebody

I have so much more, which I’ll happily post if anyone wants more examples. I love the genre, and particularly the lyrics. They’re much more down-to-earth.

Wow, I’ve never heard of these guys and I’m *really* into my Aussie hip hop. Definitely gonna give them a listen. Thank you!

Butterfingers is the band that basically nobody knows about, they’re so good. They do all sorts of different genres, too, no two of their songs sound similar.

I will do my best to keep it that way.

I'm sure not many on this website are fans of Limp Bizkit but they dropped a new music video a few months ago and the song sounds like a lost House of Pain song from the 90's.
Music video is trash but the song slaps.

Wow, I didn’t think the Soggy Cookies were still around. I just started listening to Chocolate Starfish again the other day.

Also, I’ve been giving this one a lot of time lately.

I forgot the digital release came out today for people who bought the album. Has some nice extras on it as well. Bunch of remixes and some phone interview with Dumile at the end. Overall a good purchase for collectors and fans, but realistically the original release is a good alternative for if your interested in just having the main tracks.

Reports have claimed it was a failed suicide attempt that resulted in a coma that was hard to come out of.

Happy 30th Birthday to the most underrated hip-hop album ever.
