Celph Titled's new solo album is so much fun. It makes me happy that he went off and did his own thing. He always seemed like the only guy who got the joke in Army of the Pharaohs.
During my constant digging through underground hip-hop artists, I have no idea how I missed Doomtree. This is some hot shit right here. Following that, in the times where I occasionally search for what female vocalists are doing in hip-hop, I'm amazed that I missed Dessa. I love the way she combines singing and rapping, and whichever side she tends toward in a given song she's always an excelent lyricist.
Let's See, a Mac Lethal fast rap. If it doesn't contain the words cannibal, Peanut-butter apple, Vatican, Kill it dead, Midwestern whore bred, I'll be stunned.

I'm also a fan of "Dazed and Confused," which also lacks those words:
I really can't fault the guy for having certain words in common in fast raps. It's a fact of linguistics that certain words in certain languages have their own rapid cadences, just like some other words naturally take on a musical quality despite not having any intentional melody.

It's not that - It's that literally every fast rap I've heard from him other than Dazed and confused or Tiger blood has, but for a line or two usually at the start, the same lyrics verbatim:
"mothafuckas wanna have another personal epiphany, I'm coming with a symphony, eliminating everybody/anybody, run up like a cannibal and bite 'em like a peanut butter apple, in a minute, I'ma nibble on a pentagram, and every single bitter lamb is getting so offended, I don't give a damn if anything a mental plan is coming, as a visually integrated entity, and everybody's gonna get the guillotine, yeah!, I'm gettin' cinematic in a matter of a minute, every milligram is devilish, the vatican will kill it dead, gonna kill it til it's dead, i'ma try to get em in the head, cornfed, midwestern whore-bred, she looks though thick, and juicy give it to me in the booty-shorts, then you gotta get up in the morn' "
Yeah, sharing similar word or verse structure, even using the same rhymes, that's cool, there is only so fast you can go before it becomes nonsense when you alter the pattern - but I'm not kidding, I mean Verbatim.
Lately I've been into Nujabes and Shing02. Both of them did music for Samurai Champloo, a lot of it is really awesome lyricless hip hop. I think Nujabes produces the beats, and Shing02 does the vocals. Most of the Nujabes-only songs are beats only.
I've also been big time into Bassnectar the past few months, and while it isn't directly rap, he has rappers in many of his songs. It's all really awesome.

This song was also featured in this video.
I'm definitely looking forward to Adventures in Counterculture.
This is exciting.
Holy shit that was awesome.
BUMP!

Okay, Yeah, I'm mildly stunned. It's entirely new. Colour me impressed.
