Haha, I must've come back right as you had posted. I just love me some Dr. Octagon and have trouble finding people similar to him in style...so I just kinda asked that and a blanket of other stuff about the genre.

Thanks again, though.

There have also been a couple threads about Rap/Hip-Hop on TL. Most of which, unsurprisingly, degenerate into mostly people arguing about who is good/bad and what is the genre etc.

why are you guys recommending him underground stuff if he says he gave up on mainstream rap. There are a lot of good mainstream rappers still.

In this day and age, I don't understand how anyone can still be content with being fed by mainstream media when there are myriads of ways for you to go and find something you can actually relate to.

Wow. That's sick flow. His voice bothers me a bit but after listening to a little more I'm getting accustomed to it. Thanks for this recommendation

Also for a rap blog I can't help but post this video. This is the single greatest response to rap battle in the history of mankind. If you like experimental hip-hop I highly suggest the album "Earth Beasts Awaken" by Historian Himself. It's free on his website.



This video is Historian Himself's response to a rap battle by Tykwon Flow. Fabulous.


this guy sounds like a slowed down less technical busdriver


busdriver is awesome thanks for showing me
And all is illuminated.
