  1. Jaden Smith actually a decent rapper what. If he writes his own lyrics especially he has real talent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_v60IElqgQ

    1. @rarity Wow, he's actually not that bad. What the hell. Good production too.

      1. @northernnarwhal Damn now I need to listen to more. It's obvious he's new but he shows REAL promise

        1. @rarity It was a lot better than I thought it would be, he actually has decent chops. If he could hone his style a bit more he could actually do pretty good things with his music.

          1. @northernnarwhal I think a lot of his issues honestly might be because his voice is obviously that of a 16 year old. So that'll change at least

            1. @rarity Yeah, although in fairness I don't even mind his voice that much to be honest. It at least doesn't sound obnoxious.

              1. @northernnarwhal yeah it's not obnoxious just youthful. Only other good young rapper I can think of is Earl and he sounds like a 60 year old chain smoker so that wasn't a problem with him

                1. @rarity Bishop Nehru is pretty good too, though he's got to build his chops a little more to really come into his own.

                  1. @northernnarwhal I've never actually given him a listen

                    Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:40:17 UTC from web
                    1. @rarity He's decent, he had a collab record with MF DOOM last year that was alright, but he hasn't really amazed me yet. I think he has potential though, he just hasn't realized it yet.

                      1. @northernnarwhal ah FrankerZ DOOM did an album with him? how did I miss that

                        Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:42:24 UTC from web
                        1. @rarity It didn't get amazing reception and sort of flew under the radar commercially. But yeah it's a thing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NehruvianDoom

                          Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:43:07 UTC from web
                          1. @northernnarwhal a "not amazing" DOOM album is usually still pretty damn good though. Thsi might be different

                            Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:44:16 UTC from web
                            1. @rarity Yeah, you'll probably still dig the album.

                              Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:45:42 UTC from web
                        2. @rarity Though DOOM does more production than rapping on the actual record.

                          Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:44:11 UTC from web
                          1. @northernnarwhal that's alright since I love is production. I listen to Metal Fingers tracks while driving every day

                            Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:44:39 UTC from web
                            1. @rarity Oh yeah, and I remember at one point you mentioned you dig his Special Herbs stuff

                              Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:45:20 UTC from web
                              1. @northernnarwhal yeah that's what I meant when I said Metal Fingers since that's what he released the Special Herbs stuff under

                                Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:46:16 UTC from web
                                1. @rarity Ah yeah, that's right. He's gone under a few names before. I really love that Take Me To Your Leader album he did as King Geedorah

                                  Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:47:25 UTC from web
                                  1. @northernnarwhal legit that's my fav DOOM album

                                    Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:47:39 UTC from web
                                    1. @rarity Yeah for me it's probably Madvillainy (which is a popular choice but I seriously just love that album a lot), but TMTYL and Vaudeville Villain are tied for close seconds

                                      Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:48:57 UTC from web
                                      1. @northernnarwhal this track though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRn9BRo4Igw

                                        Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:49:31 UTC from web
                                        1. @rarity Yesssss, love Fazers. That sample is heavenly.

                                          Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:51:06 UTC from web
                                          1. @northernnarwhal I think that most of the stuff on TMTYL is samples from old movies like Toho stuff (obviously given the album theme) and other old monster movies? It certainly sounds like it.

                                            Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:51:53 UTC from web
                                            1. @rarity Yeah, I don't know all the sample credits but that's definitely a recurring motif of the album. It give the record lots of personality.

                                              1. @northernnarwhal part of why it's my favorite. I LOVE the production and that's a major thing for me. Part of why I like Special Herbs so much

                                                Monday, 20-Apr-15 00:54:51 UTC from web
                                  2. @northernnarwhal either that or the Mouse and the Mask
