what advice would that be?

listening to Hellfyre Club!!!

I am just catching up now.

Honestly, this is the year where I listened to the LEAST amount of new hip hop than I ever have in my life.

I missed the on-ramp for HFC, but I'm tryna catch up quicktime, bro!! I'm loving this shit the fuck off

that Busdriver song posted above is the most refreshing rap song I heard all month, creatively.

gives me HOPE

but do you have two twitter accounts?

Philaflava wrote:but do you have two twitter accounts?

fuck no

I do not lie about who I am, EVER, on the internet, and I do not have any fake accounts or anything.

why do you ask?

He's quoting a line from one of the best songs on the album you just claim to have enjoyed.

uh, go fuck yourself, sloth

I didn't say what Hellfyre Club album I was listening to. I just started listening to Busdriver's new EP yesterday. Slow your roll, Officer Hip Hop.

Do you really sit there, smugly dry heaving in a pigpen of your own feces and peanut butter, feeling like "yeah! I keep winning! I got you AGAIN, Mindbender!! I just proved that I'm so much smarter than you!!!"

holy shit, you are a fucking lame asshole sometimes, dude.

I've tried to float up to normal respect with you so many times, but you keep being a crusty fuckin dickhead. Is this how you gain meaning and purpose in your "life"?

Dude, when you say you're listening to Hellfyre Club, it's pretty damn reasonable to assume you'd be listening to the only collective album they've put out. Especially considering it would be kinda odd for a scholar of creative hip-hop such as yourself to to be discovering Busdriver in 2013.

Bump for Jimmy the Burnout.

So far through one very tired and smokey half listen I'm not sure I love it, but stuff always grows on me. It's an interesting, a bit more conventional counterbalance to the Tits and Explosion joint he dropped a while back.

yup. Get it here:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/jimmy ... d826841169

noisey interview:

http://noisey.vice.com/blog/nocando-nev ... -interview

Album has grown on me as expected. I could really do without the skits and I think the hidden track should have died as a concept before it started (but the actual song is great).

I'm always confused by the somewhat equal frequency with which Nocan invokes his wife and random groupie sex (in part because just from interviews/social media he seems pretty much like a family dude). Not like I'm judging him personally, but it's a weird thematic inconsistency throughout the album (or, and maybe likely, I'm missing something).
