Not Crap WF: 0

I tried, but ultimately I just fine 'em boring. Crap.

I listened to and liked 'Legend Has It' when everyone seemed to be trying to be The Person Who Likes RtJ More Than Anyone Else a few years ago, but I didn't find anything else good. Crap. I like El-P's voice tho.

Pitchfork Rap.

RTJ4 is a fantastic album, and Killer Mike has done loads of great stuff in and Around Atlanta.

NOT CRAP

As a 41 year old white guy who never really dug that deep into rap (i have zero qualifications for what good rap is), I like em.

R.A.P. Music is still the best thing Mike and Jamie have done together, though I think RTJ4 came pretty damn close, and was the first time I thought Jamie's rapping was anywhere near Mike's.

MMA gym music. Crap.

There's something sort of depressing about two underrated artists coming together to collaborate and finding their greatest success by making the least interesting music of their careers. Just listen to Funcrusher Plus and I Pledge Alligience To The Grind II instead.

No comment, as I don't possess criteria for judging the raps music. However I take issue with people giving Danzig a hard time about stealing his cool horned skull logo from an obscure funny book, but these guys don't get guff for sourcing their logo from a relatively well known horror movie.

I want to like them because they're affable and funny, and I like when people are friends, but I find their records exhausting to listen to. Short albums with a massive listener fatigue index. Best thing they did was that track with DJ Shadow. It's fantastic.


El-P was a great interview on Open Mike Eagle's show, recommended for sure.
