Alright, the favorite thing to speak about as of late is how mainstream Hip-hop/rap is dead but over the summer, when Bishop Lamonts album drops itll be back.
Seriously, the guys like a combo of Eminem and Tupac. Tupac because hes straight West coast and speaks on a lot of politcial things and religion and Eminem because he has crazy rhymes and hes a funny shit talker like him.
But hes so much more than that too. He refrences video games, comic books, 80s cartoons and everything. A really nice line from the song Im a soldier, "I bid hoops, I beg your pardon With the Pen I spawn more characthers then Todd McFarlane, they Marvel at my Image from here to D.C., you can trace all you want but youll never be me" See, you can tell this dude was definitly reading comics while he grew up. He rhymes stuff with super heroes names all the time too.
Or "Raps been infected, where the f*cks the vaccine, When its time to ride I transform like turbo Teen" Turbo Teen!?! I didnt even know what the **** that was til I saw it in a 80s cartoon thread here after I heard the song.
He first got like discovered I guess when he did the main theme song for True Crime: Streets of LA sdtrk, which was easily the only good thing about True Crime lmao.
Really funny song, kinda reminds me of 50's how to rob except not talking bout people.
Heres the first verse:
Good Lord they shootin at me,
Smile on my face cuz im trigga happy
Bitch get my drink and make it snappy
Fore I leave your ass screamin' for a taxi
True crimes and nothin but,
I just seen that nigga Ruben jack a ice cream truck
Then creep across the street and rob a pizza hut
American idol aint my title
Im elmer fudd with a big ass rifle
Lurking the block homicial
And robbin nuns, Gimmie ya bibble
Dont you know im Loco Holmes
With a trench coat like Sherlock Holmes
Full of shot guns and big ass chromes
set to break in all your homes
and Take that take that like puffy combs
if u wanna hear it, www.datpiff.com has free mixtapes for download and listen to
Now for the N*gger Noize mixtape, its easily better then 90% of rappers albums, http://www.dubcnn.com/mixtapes/bishoplamont/ is the free download
Heres a track list:
01 Intro (Pretty funny, Bishop talkin like a klans man)
02 Klansmen (Tight song, first line is funny " Swear to God almost every mutha ****in day/another fakest nigga walk up to me guess what he say/Hey Bishop, hows it feel to work wit Dr. Dre/I reply Hey Faggot, Hows it feel to be Gay?" See what I mean, i can just picture that coming out of Eminems mouth almost)
03 Dont Kill Me (another really good song)
04 Translator (hook goes like this, "I wish the game was reversed/and my verse was the beat/so you listen to me first/and then dance later/I aint dumbing down shit/you dont get it, get a ****ing translator" Wooow, pretty nice stuff huh??, great song too, Refrences Bill and TED! BILL AND F*cking TED! Excellent!)
05 The Truth Ft Stacee Adams Another great Song
06 Lets Go Another great one
07 Footsteps in the Dark (easily one of the top songs on the mixtape and one of the BEst Songs Ive heard in like the past year or 2, Samples the same Isley brothers song "Today was a Good Day" samples but he twists up the beat a little, Go listen to it trust me!
08 Fukk Krammer Radio ( haha funny skit, 1000 dollars to the next caller who kicks krammers ass)
09 Super Freak (sex song, heres a nice lyric, "A horse is a horse of course but not in bed, im half man, half horse, call me Mr. Ed... I want some Head head head head.... Thats what I said Gimmie some head head head head")
10 Bitches on Myspace (if this were an Album, you wouldnt be able to turn on the radio right now without hearing this song, kinda reminds me of 50 cents "In Da Club" EXCEPT its not totally retarded crap, not dumbed down like 50s singles
11 Last Crusade (damn another hot song!? Bishop says it sounds like the bible if it had a sdtrk "Forgive me if I nod off snoring/but hip hop right now is f*cking boring/since the MisEducation/I been missing Lauren./For your information you should stop performing/ and dont even think about f*cking touring/It should be a crime how these rappers rhyme while they recording/Get the death Penalty bitch, no call from the warden/No stay of execution, electruction im warning)
12 First They love you (ANother hit , In the begining Bishop says "this would make Wu-tang proud", i never listended to wu tang so I dont know but the hook is really catchy. First verse is bishops, other 2 are from his crew, Wardogz, who also sound surpisingly decent. "When I ride in my ride, I dont listen to the radio/Cuz nigga spit that same ol' same ol' lazy flow/ Ever since TI everybody sample Jay-Z's flow/ Like swell aw hell he might as well direct the video/ And when you go to close ya might as well yell Hov/Borrow some his clothes and borrow some his flows")
13 KKK Hotline (skit, leads into the next song, bishop talkin like a KKK hotline operator, funny lol)
14 N*gger (Bishop speakin political but not takin himself to seriously, "Matin Luther had a dream/that nigga probaly scream / if he heard me calling him that/instead of a king" Funny stuff but he also has a damn point too)
15 Hood Psalm (One of my favs, hook is really really hot, bishop addressing the haters)
16 So Cold (Wooow, really deep song. First verse is about black people being shitted on, second verse is about slaves, third is about the youth only knowing about rappers and sneakers and not there history. Very sad song, my girlfriend listened to it while we were smoking and acutally LISTENDED for once instead of just hearing and almost cried)
17 HisStory (Wow another deep song, first verse is about rap and how hes gonna bring it back second verse Bishop talks about 9/11, and iraq and third is about black history.
"They faked the moon landing To remain First/ So how fefectious thinking 9/11 was rehearshed/researched then reworked to make ya hate Abeeb down at the mini mart/ Look for the terroists to come from over seas/ but they already hear in Washington DC/ Scare tactics got us Demonizing Iraq/Forfeit our Rights for the PAtriot Act/ We hand over our power to stop the Villians/to the very same Bastards that dropped the Buildings/ I aint Michael Moore/Nutty Conspirator hooked on Sci Fi/X-Files and Star Wars/ Maybe common sense Aint that Common / Maybe its harder to Recongnize then solve the problem/ Who We fighting? What we fighting For? And Why the F*ck we still over there fighting More?!' WOw, thats the damn deepest rap verse ive heard since 96'.
ALright SO ive been typing this post for like 2 hours but really, If you are a fan of Hip hop you owe it to yourself to check this out. But some people dont like him, I tryed to get my cousin to listen to him but he said he sounded like Pitbull?! WTF!.
