@rayzian Its unreal man. Were talking like half a decade! I appreciate being a perfectionist but Jeez. Half the places I filmed these clips at are closed down now. Worst part is "Donuts With the Grownups" is probably he best song ever and it's not on anything, youtube, album. itunes or otherwise.
@ShaneKarma376 could you, uh describe it, um, to me, oh fuck. where is this work of wonder. one of the few hip hop artists that truly excite me and nothing to burn into my ears other than this. sure i'd like to give you my money despot. while every other lil' jane pushes hip pop product hocking hubris and hate. this and bigg jus are veryexcitingthings
Haha yeah man me too. Hes touring right now with Ratatat and every night of the tour writing a new song for that night's performance! Im thinking there's no shortage of material and it should be this year. I have been waiting since "Homesickness" appeared on Def Jux Presents Volume 3!
I met this dude at Scribble in 01. I didn't know who he was and I can't remember how we ended up talking but we had one of the most random/ funny conversations ever. I don't remember much of it, but we ended up talking about that dude from Home Improvement... Johnathan Taylor Thomas. I remember laughing about something he said about JTT and then he threatened my life for laughing at JTT. Despot was like 5'3" at the time, I hope he got his growth spurt.
Yeah bro looks like very early '09. It's likely gonna be called "Hooray For Me". For now he finally has the "Homesickness" 12" on iTunes. He has released maybe 10 singles and each one is better than the next. The future of hip-hop.
was just hoping you could direct me to somewhere I might get some corroboration on that. I've been waiting for this album to drop since I heard get rich or try dyin on the definitive swim sampler, but I'd given up hope on it ever being released
Yeah man Despot is almost completly done with the album. He has kind of been on hiatus working on it the last few months. It's supposedly coming out possibly before new year if not very early '09. I can't wait. I know he is a perfectionist so hes taking his time.
why doesnt all of us Hip-hop lovers get together and provoke a revalation to mainstream crap...I want blood let us pit our fave real MC's verses mainstream so called lyricist's...its unfair I know but Hip-Hop needs to cut the fat....
Bro Ive seen Despot live maybe 20 times and have never seen the same 'lo shirt twice haha. Lo-Deck and Thirstin Howl III got a run for thier money lol.
He opened a show i saw a couple summers ago when Lif dropped his last album...I had never heard of him, but his set (it was only 3 songs or so) was really impressive...i was slightly disappointed when i downloaded a few songs of his though....good live performer though
In honesty if you downloaded anything on iTunes its one of 2 tracks he did very early in his career, pre-def jux. He has definetly evolved. Check out his new song "Look Alive". :)
I'm pretty sure its gonna be called "Hooray For Me". From the looks it that "Snarky Parker" has a 2008 copwrite now so im guessing it will be on new album so other previous releases may be as well. Algernon, Blockhead and El-P are all rumored to have worked on it cant wait!
