Chatbox

Hey I was surprised by the turnout last night guys...there were about 10 people in there.

Anyway hopefully this isn't a one time thing...

I got some good music recs, added some people on last.fm and rateyourmusic, and just had some good discussion in general.

If more people start using it maybe HH4L will unite!

Think about it.

Last.fm is great... Thanks for the suggestion. It pulled all of my plays from my Itunes and even shows what songs I am playing on my laptop as I listen to songs or CDs.

I need to get back on lastfm and add some of you fools to my friends list to see how compatible we are

Your musical compatibility with SouthernRapPro is Very High

Music you have in common includes K-Rino, CunninLynguists, Smif-N-Wessun, Reks and M.O.P..

Whoever banned me from the chatbox can you PLEASE lift that for me please? Thanks.

I've unbanned you

Goodness me I have poor compatibilities with everyone except xcel and Tran. Shucks...

I should probably set up a Last.FM account

Though I've been on last.fm for a while I hardly ever go on there. Its nice to see what others are playing at the moment which cuts down on the need to inquire over the interwebs. The compatibility feature is pretty cool as in theory it should help you meet new friends. The match.com of music I suppose.

Yo lets list last.fm usernames guys

I'm Rakim_X
That's also my XBOX Live GT

Yeah I'm friends with you. We have poor compatibility? Damn it's Medium.

I popped my chat cherry last night, and it was pretty cool. haha. I've been a member on here for probably over 2 years now, and the chat really does make this site more enjoyable. Idk why I've never tried it before. Had some good convos. Anyway my last.fm is gametheory91

spacemuzik206....add me fools!

You suck

What's last.fm?

Okay, I signed up. Not sure what I'm doing there though. Maybe I'll mess with it later. My username is myestro4life.

Yes, I did. Is that like a stand-alone player? I was wondering who sent a friend request, then I saw the pic.

Oh shit huge party goin' down in that chatbox right about now

Well it should compile all the plays you have from music on iTunes or other players. I use iTunes. It should work with Winamp and other things though. Basically it will compile all the plays you have recorded on iTunes and it will put those on your profile, then use that to base recommendations on and give compatibility. Of course every time you use iTunes it will also track those plays.

Yeah, I had it compile my winamp plays. Is there a way to alter it? I should add Windows Media Player since I use that when I listen to CDs. Right now I'm listening to (and loving) random songs.

Hmm not sure, all I ever use is iTunes so I haven't tried it with other players.

Just added Myestro, Highsmith, and send Gametheory an invite. Me and Gamethoery have SUPER HIGH COMPATIBILITY!

LastFM- shaunb1724

...I think

Yeah, I sent you a friend request.

Hey from now on if you directly rec me an album in the chatbox I will listen to it ASAP. Yes I will probably d/l first but that doesn't mean I won't buy it. I still like to give respect to artists that I think are doing something nice with hip hop. For example I'll be buying the new Vakill off of Amazon tomorrow.

Anyway with that said I'll be checking out some recs I got last night from Myes

June Marx - Body Of God
Menace Clan - Da Hood (more of an indirect rec but w/e)

I'll post ratings/comments on those in here sometime in the near future nah meen?

I know my opinion is so important to all of you lol

Menace Clan!

And as promised....first impressions

June Marx - Body of God (4 stars)
- Started off kinda slow but it started to pick up with Hadron Collider, which is essentially a Twin Perils track. Every track that followed had a unique sound and covered a wide range of topics. I found the track Season of Lust pretty funny - June, you'd really turn down a three way with two hot chicks to finish recording a track? C'mon Man! Anyway, this stacks up pretty well with the Twin Perils output and I'm interested in checking out his first release as well as Lone Ninja's solo Burnt Sector. And Slang if you read this you should check out Twin Perils/June Marx if you haven't already. There seems to be a huge Wu-Tang influence on the sound.

Menace Clan - Da Hood (4.25 stars)
- I really like the production on this one, all of these tracks bang really hard and feature pretty high quality sound for 95. Da Hood is about well, da hood. 13 tracks full of violence and paranoia but with some extra anti- government/white power themes thrown in. Bushwick Bill appears on two of the tracks and does a pretty nice job. For me the standouts include Aggravated Mayheim, which sounds like Onyx with a west coast flavor, Da Bullet, which is a song from the viewpoint of a bullet, and Kill Whitey, which doesn't really need an explanation but is really catchy and funky imo.

Of course these ratings are based off only one spin so they are subject to change. I like both of these albums though and I recommend listening to them.

Awesome! For June Marx, I like the tracks: Silence The Traitors, and Natural Selection

After listening to Menace Clan, can you see why I said they're underrated? Da Bullet is actually the viewpoint of a bullet, and a gun. One guy is the bullet, the other a gun. I thought that was clever. And I liked What U Sayin, the confrontation between an old-timer and a young buck.

Yeah Menace Clan are definitely underrated. Do they only have one official album?

As for June Marx I agree that those tracks are standouts, I'd throw in Season of Lust and Overthrow the Throne as well.

It's their only album that I'm aware of. But, I am in upstate NY, so maybe one of the Cali fools knows if they have some regional stuff.

I'm all alone in the chatbox...

Last.fm info is in the sig...always has been.

So Norf what's your last.fm ID?

So uh...Chatbox right now? Any takers?

I was wondering that myself. I want to send him a friend request, but he won't tell me his ID!

It's Norfeest. The link to his last.fm is his signature....

Let's get serious though, what is Norf's last.fm ID?

I mean I am friends with him on last.fm but I can't say for sure what his last.fm ID is.

I can't tell if you're seriously trying to tell us this, or just playing along.

Huntsville International review coming soon...

Also I'm still looking for that Stik Figa...help!

Ok here are two more reviews...and a couple more are coming after these.

"Your MySpace page looks like it's for a gay French model!"

Bigfoot - Giant Steps (4.25 stars)
Whoa, this really surprised me. Got this Australian hip hop rec from lounge. I have no idea about the back story of this guy and this is the first I've ever heard of him, but I'm really impressed by this. It's mostly aggressive hardcore hip hop. Bigfoot definitely seems like he has respect for the classics and the traditional boom bap hip hop sound. It took me a while to get used to his accent, and at first it sounded like he was a bit over the top with his angry vocals, but after 2 or 3 tracks it just started to click with me. I found it constantly entertaining. A lot of the guest rappers were pretty funny on the mic (the above quote is from a guest) and the album had a nice split between darker angrier tracks and more upbeat tracks. After one spin I like this quite a bit. Check it out.
