Lately, I've been listening to Living Legends and The Grouch and Eligh

Mainly looking to see what other are listening to so I can steal.

MF Doom as always, been listening to a couple songs off The Infamous a lot lately, and then some Action Bronson, Binary Star, Cannibal Ox, Common, and GZA

A$AP Rocky. Although, he hasn't been impressing me lately.

A very close second is Chief Keef. I don't care what you say, Chief Keef is talented. Something about a heavy Young Chop-produced beat with Keef's auto-tuned jumble of lyrics flowing over it is great to me. I'm going to steal a line from Complex magazine that was originally reviewing Future. "A strong reliance on Auto-Tune means that sometimes his voice sounds harsh, and other times, paranoid" To me, this says it all. When I listen to Keef, lyrics are meaningless. It's all about the raw emotion he's conveying throughout every song. It's a beautiful thing honestly.

Listen to this. Do not pay any attention to the lyrics. In fact, close your eyes or minimize the video when listening so you're not distracted. Just focus on how his words slur over the beat and the different pitches he hits while doing so.



I don't know. It's hard to explain. I'm probably the only kid on NS who can stand Chief Keef.

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I'm just taking away what I want to take away from his music.

Fair enough, I think most Keef listeners like him for the vibe he gives rather than his lyrics so I agree with you that way. Rocky's kinda like that too
