>> i certainly wouldnt call spank rock boring >nah, but id call them pretty terrible. theyre right up there with >tittworth and ayres, diplo, etc in that "why are these guys out there >representing this kind of music?!?!?!" category for me.
representing what? bmore? why shouldn't they? do you not like clubby stuff or something? but you don't seem like much of an electro fan, and this stuff definitely leans electro...spank rock is produced well, it's different, and it's hot, so i think they deserve some credit there regardless of whether it's your thing or not. i actually haven't given it many good listens and i deffo don't like all of it. but 95% of too short's stuff sucks, and i still love him for the other 5% no love for the pack (wolfpack)? the vans song? uno? super slow minimal 808 drenched in reverb, little portamento lead riffs, comeON! this is all strictly party stuff tho. i don't really listen to it like some deep stuff and i wouldn't listen to it all the time or anything. i like jneiro and i like a lot of that sort of stuff that goes thru rush hour, but it's not really for me. it's a bit too lowkey and jazzy and hip for me, most of the time...i am mostly after more electronic stuff, or well, hot stuff.. >> and jjak hogan are my friends and unknown as yet, but are opening for >> beastie boys next >> tour and have an album coming on radioslave's rekids, of all places. >i really liked their stuff on their myspace page, ill definitely be >checking out their whole album. that's funny you like them but not spank rock. not that they sound that similar, but they are in the same area. same emphasis on electronics and crazy beats...but with much better mc's..and music much more on the deep side...best live hiphop i've ever seen. if you like jjak check the senate committee. it's jjak plus their friend note. tip! http://www.myspace.com/jjakhogan check bass invadurrz (electro/instrumental sideproject) too @cyclone, if you're reading, i didn't mean to insinuate you don't know anything about hiphop or anything like that, i just took umbrage with your examples of american hiphop and how dismissive you were...hope you kicked the migraine, owwwwch ps kamal said it right!
