Buck 65 - Talkin' Honky Blues

 

was not expecting to see Buck 65 mentioned in this thread

 

shoutout oceanic shoutout cave in shoutout mr. beast wow

 

You already had the coolest list. You had to run up the score? Haha

 

Very nice list. I always give a nod to people that rep DEP before Greg joined.

 

tbh i never connected with the damian or mike stuff. greg is thee dude to me. the industrial influence he brings to the band rules

 

I think you mean Dimitri? Also, the Mike EP was just a fun project.

 

lol yes sorry

 

Damian was in Shai Hulud

 

nice, some things here that are also on my list but that I hadn't seen on anyone else's yet

 

guys i get it i forgot the name lol

 

Talkin' Honky Blues came out as I was getting into a lot of indie rap. Him, Sage Francis, Atmosphere and Eyedea and Abilities did a lot to get me back into hip hop when I was about as out of love with it as I ever got. Don't listen to much of any of them any more, but when I do, it always brings a smile to my face.

 

I love Greg, but it took a while to adjust to him. Miss Machine is good, but I was very much missing Dmitri (despite never actually seeing him with them), so I never listened it that much. By Ire Works and the Plagiarism EP (i'm a sucker for their cover of Like I Love You), I was all on board with Gregs vocals. I was all on board with him as a person already though after witnessing him shit into a bag on stage at Reading festival, saying that it represented the rest of the bands on the bill and promptly threw it into the crowd. I was thankfully nowhere near it haha

 

You posted yours yet?

 

nah over the weekend sometime

 

Definitive album:

He's 3 times the man 50 Cent is

Some notes:

Deafheaven is probably my band of the decade. Sunbather was a game changer for me.

Dead In The Dirt is an insane band and if you check out one band on this list, listen to that one. Can probably name like 3-4 bands who have dropped an album as ruthless as that one since 2013.

Helicopter by Deerhunter is arguably my favorite song of all time.
