[Pander Bear]

jesus-- aussie "hip hop" kills another perfectly good thread.

Any legal source for those screw tapes?

 

[Roger&Me]

Any legal source for those screw tapes?

Haha yer not gunna like this answer probably, but there's probably only gunna be one legal source for a lot of those tapes, which would be the Screwed Up Records and Tapes shop at 7717 Cullen Boulevard in Houston.

(But offff the record, just getting them from somewhere like megadownload.net would be a lot less of a hassle.-- although I've heard of people driving over a thousand miles to buy screw tapes at that shop. Its just some homies sitting around in there jamming tapes and smoking blunts, its a real laid back badass shop and all they sell is screw tapes. :D)

 

[CoffeeDrinker]

Did anyone mention DJ Premier? His New York Reality Check 101 album is FUCKING AWESOME!

I learned about so many cool underground rappers from that album.

 

[Pander Bear]

that shop looks like the real.

 

[Roujaxian]

check out 4:21 the day after by method man, been a method man fan for a while but just recently got into this, pretty underrated

 

[Sleepy Tree]

The mega rap/hip hap DISCUSSION thread.

Was wondering if anyone else was an E&A fan and had had a chance to listen to the new album. Definitely an interesting mix of Hip-Hop/Industrial/Punk/Alt, I suppose do to the break in between this album and E&A (5 years). I believe he also fronted a rock band during this time, which would explain a lot.

Here's the first single off the album - Junk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XOa8eaTZuo&feature=channel

Also check out Smile and the title track By the Throat.

I'm going to be going to their show at Bottom of the Hill in SF on the tenth, anyone here seen them live? Good show? Better on the cd? Can't really imagine that being the case but some phenomenal bands suck live. So yeah, let's hear it for Eyedea and Abilities folks.
