YouTube - Hoodie Allen - Look At What We Started

Hoodie Allen. I really dig it, and I figured he wasn't too well known, so I decided I'd share it with yall.

Thanks

[TOOL460002]

hmm... to be honest im not a huge fan of that sped up/high pitched vocal thing, but the guy can flow. some of the lyrics arent amazing, but he gets them out well. i will say ive not heard of him though! and i always like anything new. thanks.

...well, might as well give my brother some play. He's a pretty good rapper...but a pretty corny one This is a favorite video of mine.

YouTube - Luie P - You See Me

I'm not huge on rap, but this Hoodie dude isn't bad

[Tommygunn]

Lol it was pretty good Tony.

And another bump for a pretty good new rapper.

not bad at all. the rollerskating is gangster as ****. the one thing i will point out that, to the ear, LP sounds a lot like El-P, who is probably one of the best mcs that is making music today. rap in odd time with mars volta? yes please!

I really enjoy:

YouTube - Flobots - Handlebars

Flobots - Rise

Saul Williams - Stacey

[Tommygunn]

Not sure if its the same song, the the "I can ride my bike with no handle bars" was really popular a couple years back

[iamlowsound]

Everyone in this thread should check out Shad. Crazy talented dude that Drake for best rap album at this years Junos.

lowsound

[Tommygunn]

I checked out Saul Williams, I think he came up in another thread of mine. He's good.

Edit: Yes, I looked further into youtube and I do recall the song "telegrams" coming up

[Tommygunn]

I checked out Shad too... excuse me while I scrape my jaw off the floor. His lyrics are really good (intelligent concepts/vocabulary, maybe?) and I really really dig all his backing tracks.
