Knocksteady shows all the different styles of rap.
I went from this video, to checking out more of Blue Scholars music. Then I found out about Macklemore and Common Market, so I started listening to their stuff. Then I started listening to Grieves, till I found the Knocksteady video of him and Budo.
Went full circle, and learned that Seattle is where hip hop lives.
@RAGERtv that dude in the back, his name is sabzi. He produced it using a midi keyboard, a talkbox and Acid Pro. the name of the song is Seijun Suzuki
Dope that y'all got Blue Scholars in. Cinemetropolis dropped for a while now, this song and the whole album is available for stream and download at bluescholars.bandcamp.com/
dud I am writing down this crazy vivid dream I had like 5 min ago
I live in seoul and DJ zo came to Seoul and we were walkin down the blocks together and there were gangs trying to bully us we tried to ignore them but DJ zo snapped and yelled so they kidnapped DJ zo.. So I was like shit what do i do? and I then I heard blue scholars in town so I went up to Sabzi and said yo our fellow dj is being kidnapped! so we went to the gang's den and kicked the shit out of them and rescued dj zo :D
@d4w00L They are anti-mainstream and that Is what their music is about. Tyler is a story-teller, Its not weird at all. Dont let music be limited to what you hear, The lyrics need interpreted. Dont hate on something you do not understand, People dont listen to it to be hard...They listen to enjoy the music and hear what they have to say.
@d4w00L What!? i know I don't listen to them to feel hard, i listen to them because they're talented not to mention they've got one of the best Lyricist to emerge in the last decade, EARL SWEATSHIRT
@BigThier96 As far as i'm concerned, Geo did his thing on the entire album and lyrically is still the same (if not better) as Bayani. It seems to me that the only reason why you think they changed is b/c sabzi is doing something different with the beat. If you were a true Blue Scholars fan you would be more open to different sounds than stick to one similar sound.
@jeremykao2 nah. it's that "yay rap is fun" type of rapping that annoys me. i used to dig the emotionless, almost non-chalent type of rapping you could heard on songs like Joe Metro. they turned kinda wack with that Oof! EP. not wack, but i don't know... it's kinda hard to explain. and as for the beats, well naturally, i think they fell off hard. props to Sabzi for producing the whole thing, but... i don't know.
@BigThier96 i'm not sure if you heard cinemetropolis yet, but i think the album has a couple joints that you might like and caters to your "non-chalent" type of rhyming. But you are entitled to your own opinion so...w/e works for you i guess
@jeremykao2 I heard it. I was disapointed. Tommy Chong is the best joint on it though, it is fucking dope. I like George Jackson and Yuri Kochiyama... The rest I don't really care for. And that's the thing, I could put Bayani on and let it run 'til it ends but I can't say the same with that album. They're still one of my favorites though.
@BigThier96 like i said, you are entitled to your own opinion and me personally, i enjoyed ever single track on the entire album. Yes Bayani was an incredible album, but cinemetropolis imho tops everything they've done so far
@jeremykao2 not to butt in, well I actually am, but tracks like Marion Sunshine and Rani Mukurji(spelling), they're just not as substantial lyrically. I mean, its like Geo wrote those songs in like 20 minutes. I say its a half half album. With the good tracks great, the bad ones... eh.
@fakkeRICH we do this everyday, spitting writens for a living til theres nothing left to say. from the boroughs out to LA. we got hella class like a bide (toilet that cleans your ass)
@RimTim22 lol ignore that comment i didnt know what i meant but i was asking what does it say when is from the town down to the bay sukers play ___________?
damn i bet working for knocksteady always puts dumb in some awkward situations cuz hes a emcee too but he probably can't network because he has to remain professional.
@TheGoblin364 i apologize for not being clear. OFWGKTA is not mainstream its just hipster hop. people who want to be cool by listening to something different from mainstream for the sake of being different. its garbage regardless
@thatkiddk you forreal bro? Tyler, The Creator does not support the movement at all. He's as mainstream as it gets... Real independent hip-hop is Bambu, Blue Scholars, Grieves/Budo, DFD, Intuition, Jin,... that list would go on for a while but Tyler the creator has good music (I'm using that term VERY loosely) but not good enough for KNOCKSTEADY.
@andrewhall. according to the kexp interview, this album is 100% sample free. their jazzy-feeling stuff is and always will be what they are known for, but the message of their music still remain. that is more important imo. props to the blue scholars. lookin forward to that new album
