LIFESAVAS and SAND PEOPLE Portland Underground

[mirracles123]

Oregonian of it's truest form here. The expressions of life in the words of the underground are truely profound. I don't prefer the aggresive hate music of some. Lifesavas is an excellent group with no fear of speaking in terms of Love. It touches my heart. Speaks to my soul. I really dig agent 23 and gift of gab too. Music is the oldest form of communication of the soul. Beats create the rythmatic flow to the connection. Thank you for expressing yourself. Peace2U through and through.

Wouldn't it be chilly with no skin on

Is that the Fox in Boulder?? Word up

bannana had a boardpusher sticker on him....thats my shit yo!

"Sandpeople" is pure comedy. They should be performing at Harvey's. ILLmacuLate is good, but not good enough to carry the other 500 lackluster, mediocre members to any level of success beyond youtube and myspace. Shit should really be put on the curb once a week for Waste Management to take care of.

[HipHopAus]

LOL i love ignorant retards like this one.

You're right, Illmaculate IS good, and there are still several other emcees in Sandpeople that are as good, if not BETTER. Sapient, Ethic, Only One, IAME, Gold, need I say more?

Makes me sick that people hate on people who are working hard and producing good music simply because it's not within their capacity to appreciate it.

I hope you're just trolling youtube...because your statement is farcical at best.

Real recognize real, nuff said.

[HipHopAus]

Oh and just so people know why I even bothered replying to such a retarded comment. It's just that this isn't the first time randoms on the internet have expressed their views on Sandpeople supposedly being 'average', when I know for a fact that Sandpeople are about 1000x better than anything these wannabe critics seem to approve of. It's always the boring nerdy types that hate on realistic hip hop and want it all to be a huge distraction from their reality based around 'gangstas' and money.

[iputajihadonyou]

Your nonsensical critique is hilarious. "Grrr...him make mad! Why make fun Sandpeople...RARR!" Trisomy 21 dont justify reacting like an imbecile. Sorry to break it to you, but "gangsta and money" hip hop...that shit died along time ago. It's cool your sophistication hasn't grown, its what Id expect from someone who thinks Sandpeople are real. Your exquisite knowledge of Dunehumans tells me you're either one of the 69 members or deaf in both ears. If ignorance is bliss you must be orgasmic.

[HipHopAus]

haha, aww he gave me a thumbs down...

When you try to be funny, you're not... that's the thing.

Your jokes are played out, and apparently you're a 30 year old youtube viewer who's dissing people nearly ten years younger than yourself for doing something that you could never do.

Name some artists that you ARE a fan of, just for a bit of perspective.

[iputajihadonyou]

Since you seem to hate people over 20, heres a list of true scientists that youve probably never heard of: Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Furious Five, Cold Crush Brothers, Sponnie Gee, Treacherous Three, Kool Moe Dee, Run DMC, T La Rock, Tragedy, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Scott La Rock, Gangstarr, Pharoe, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Ultramagnetic, Slick Rick, Rakim, Mercy and Finesse. And theyre all in their 40s. But hey, theyre DEFINTIELY not even touchin the Sandpeoples level

[HipHopAus]

fucking LOL at your generic list of Hip Hop pioneers that you seem to think make you some sort of knowledgeable hip hop head. It's like you wikepedia'd "new york hip hop golden age".

Pretty much anyone who has any semblance of knowledge in regards to hip hop would have listened to at the very least 95% of the people you mentioned.

btw, the people at the start of this clip have nothing to do with Sandpeople and this is the first time i'd ever seen or heard them (Life Savas).

[iputajihadonyou]

Oh shit, I just realized you're in Australia...haha. My bad. I thought you actually KNEW something about hip hop. Just a word of advice, any acts that make it down under...yeah...there's a reason they're there "down under." Oh, and their huge in Japan too! Hahahahahaha...you should come to Portland and watch the Sandpeople open for some garbage performer at the Roseland in front of a massive crowd of 35 indifferent people waiting for the real show to start. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh...you're rich...

[HipHopAus]

Haha, you're a blatant troll but i like trolls so i'll reply anyway.

Geographical location has 0% relevance to how much one can "know" about hip hop music.

Yes, the reason aus hiphop artists tend to only "make it" locally is due to xenophobic morons such as yourself who wont listen to anything that sounds different to what you're accustomed to

your statement about 'making it' contradicts your supposed stance on 'realness'

srsly..you can't be this much of a retard in real life? this is fun.

[PurpleThunda]

@iputajihadonyou cpmgrats you googled "best 20" hip hop artists in the 80's to 90's. no music genre "dies" it just simmers down for a bit. its cute though because even though he lives in austrailia he still know more about the current hip /hop culture then your white fat trollin ass

[laughlin33]

Sandpeople are the best coming out of the north west. Cant wait for Illmac and Only One's album, Only Ones solo lp, and B sides volume 2. SANDPEOPLE. Check it on myspace.

[funky0fresh11]

hahahahahahhaha portland is apitamy of copy cat. i know. i live here.

[nwroots]

Funky0fresh11....since you can't spell (epitome) you are obviously ignorant and don't understand how original and diverse Portland hip hop truly is. Instead of hating go learn how to spell.

[Suntouch17]

GARBAGE!! please die

[p00nsweat]

sandpeople killin it in the northwest

[naturedweller]

If you're in NE Portland and lookin' for vinyl hit up Jump Jump Records baby or 2nd Ave Records just across the river in downtown. Much love for Danktown.

[vision4wisdom]

How can y'all cover P-Town without showcasing Myg? Still cool though.

[retrofinder]
