@gaseousclay oh it is very much alive and well…
some of the better known recent death metal bands, but all have a nod to the classic era

re: Burial Invocation, is that some Dan Seagrave cover art I spy? Love his work and could spot his stuff a mile away. He did so many death metal album covers in the 90's and it's dark but lovely stuff.

New TRAGEDY album available here (or on slsk
): -
New Cult Leader single is great:

@Seul dear goodness! I don't do downloads, but apparently this is released on vinyl too…Just haven't found a copy anywhere. One on my favourite bands ever. So good to see the being consistent after such a long time.
I've got a feeling I contributed to the funding of this recording...I bought a crap load of cds from Yannick on discogs!

It's been all over the interwebs but the Eminem vs Machine Gun Kelley beef is officially on. For those that don't know (or those that even care) they've had a little feud ever since MGK posted a tweet in 2012 about Em's underage (at the time) daughter. Eminem released an unannounced album within the past week with the song "Kamikaze" going after MGK…literally a few days later MGK had the balls to punch back lol. It's on...good stuff
MGK isn't the best lyricist but he's not bad...and I've gotta say this is a solid diss track with some hard hitting lines.

^^^^^
Exactly. :D. Let's hope MGK know's what he's in for cause you Know Em has to respond, but props to MGK for having the cojones to fire back. I can't think of too many others who would willingly get involved in a lyrical beef with Eminem.

I don't follow these types of things but on the surface it seems a bit childish. It seems MGK made some comment about Em's daughter being hot as f*ck back in 2012. On the one hand, I kinda understand how Eminem must feel when another rapper objectifies his daughter. On the other hand, I don't see how this is different than some nobody that might make the same comment today. Is Eminem pissed because his daughter was only 16 at the time? Or was it because the comment came from a rapper like himself?
-
I think it's both and I generally don't follow them either but there's a bit more behind it that maybe would make it seem a little less childish from MGK's point of view. For one he's just firing back to Eminems most recent diss…and MGK is also claiming that since the tweet from 12 that Eminem has blacklisted him in the industry which he refers to several times in his diss track. Eminem definitely has the power to do so but whether it's actually true or not..who knows.
At the end of the day it's entertainment and if anything has put MGK in the spotlight. Hell maybe it's all staged to boost his career...who knows.

Roxanne Shante and UTFO, Ll and Kool Moe Dee, Mc Shan and BDP, Nas and Jay Z, i, Biggie and Tupac etc etc t's part of the theatre of hip hop. I bought my first hip hop record in 1983 and have loved it ever since.
He never would, because he's too much of an elder statesman and hip hop ambassador, but I would love to hear Ra the rugged man tear eminem a new arsehole.
There is so much good hip hop, Billy Woods, Elzhi, Odisee, Sa Roc, Apathy, Clear Soul Forces…It the the as always though...shit sells. DMC from RUN DMC did an amazing blog recently asking what the fuck is up with MAINSTREAM hip hop. It needs a 17 year old chuck d or Krs One. I know people rave about Kendrick Lamar but there is better out there. The youth need to hear positivity, not the glorification of material bullshit and fucking mumble rap.

word. I love hip hop from the 80's and the early 90's. Back then it was more about relaying a message, be it a positive message or the overtly political. I also dig the indie stuff that came out in the 00's from labels like Def Jux, Stones Throw, etc. Lots of good stuff from Japan and England too

Many,Many years ago Katherine Hepburn said I don’t care what they write about me as long as the write. Negative publicity is still publicity. Wouldn’t be the first time someone did something like this to boost their career.
Truth.

Don't agree with that. Mid/Late 80's to early 90's was the birth of Gangster Rap which definitely wasn't relaying a positive message to the kids.

Of course today's mumble rap sucks…I don't think anybody is here disagreeing with that it's kind of stating the obvious.

I think of PE as being the godfathers of political rap but others like Sir Mix-A-Lot, BDP/KRS-1, etc., had political overtones in some of their songs. Heck, to an extent I even consider gangster rap somewhat political because it shined a light on police brutality and racial profiling. It might not have been positive but it definitely had a message that's still relevent today. But, there was plenty of good hip hop that came out during that era that didn't rely on cliches to sell records.
