the "single" off of lupe's upcoming mixtape is pretty sick. its been on repeat all day for me. its so refreshing to hear something new, because the radio seems to play the same stuff, same style, ALL day long. of course, this stuff isn't as controversial as the stuff on lasers, which i felt was something he forced maybe for a little publicity?




more electrorap/hip hop



remember linkin park's "hybrid theory"? legendary album, but they were mostly downhill from there. but with electro music (house, techno, dubstep) getting so popular, i hope we'll get to see more mashing of genres.

He seriously has no flow at all with the track. The idea of it is perfect, but he sounds so uncomfortable doing it. Just listen to Foreign Beggars, they've been doing it for years.
Make a lot of friends. Wear good clothes. Drink good beer. Love a nice girl.

its off a mixtape, so its not supposed to be a polished track. i will however agree with you, but still, i like that he's trying to do something very new. i'm not too familiar with any "mainstream" artists who have used an untouched dubstep track as a "sample".

I don't know anything about electrorap but you should check out Prefuse 73 - Vocal Studios and Uprock Narratives and Flying Lotus kind of underrated glitch hiphop IDM combination.

actually, kanye's "stronger" is probably the most popular electro hip hop i can think of. its so mainstream though, but i mean, that song was #1 on the charts for quite a bit.

Lol, it takes some nerve to just slam your rap track over someone elses completed song and then release it....I'm mean I'm all for sampling but thats just fucking lazy.

It literally takes 20 minutes to make a catchy backtrack once you have a decent rapper.

Europe has been doing great rap/electronic stuff forever now:

In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

its quite the status quo. in fact, lots of mainstream artists right now rose to fame because of mixtapes (essentially taking someone else's track, and writing your own lyrics to it). its sort of like doing covers, but not really because if the lyricist is good, then you really appreciate the track. of course, you can't sell mixtapes and make money off of it because you're essentially infringing upon copyright, but you can distribute it for free (if i learned this correctly from my music production class).

Meh, I'm normally a fan of Lupe stuff but yeah this sounds forced. Also I still think Elle Goulding's part is stronger.

Lupe has become such a cornball over the years. I thought he was gonna be the new Jay-Z when Revenge of the Nerds dropped
