[CellarGhosts]

Forgive me if there's already an active thread, but a search yielded nothing, and I'm usually pretty poor at finding threads as it is.

Anyway, appreciate.

Ahh, sorry, my bad. Threads tend to sink around here though, it's a shame, hah.

Good man. Seems like there aren't too many fans in the music forum, apparently.

[robat19]

Yeah, most people talk about it in the general. Oh well, it's all good. As long as there's a thread on the first page here.

[CellarGhosts]

Mhmm, seems that he's pretty well-liked in General. Hopefully people give either your thread or this one some love, haha. needs to be more.

[robat19]

Drumroll, Savion Glover, Purexed, Low Light Low Life, Terrorish

[shit stroll]

the other day my friend was like "wut dose p.o.s stand 4 piece of shit?" fuck him.

[robat19]

it stands for a few things, and that being on of them, I believe.

[Dr. Acula]

Been in love with P.O.S. since Audition. Picked up the new album the other night and its mind blowingly good. If you havent seen him live, get on it.

[Wobbie]

Yesss. Just got into him recently. Rhymesayers are such a good label.

And Chris, i didn't know you were into (good) hip hop. Cool. Shows how long ive been away i guess. How did you like the last Atmosphere album? And Q-Tip's latest? I think they're both amazing.

[Dre Okorley]

yup. listening to the new one right now. love it

Def. And, very nice avatar. I've been rotating it as well.

[Heart-A-Tact]

I love Purexed.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Sean and I both made threads as well.

I prefer Audition to the new album.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

And newest Atmosphere is lolwut forgettable.

[Kid B]

I will listen to this after I get over The Low End Theory... which is never.

[harveymonster]

I saw him with Underoath. No one really got into it.

[CellarGhosts]

Agreed.

And yeah, I've been getting into more hip hop/rap lately. The latest Atmosphere album was decent, but a little overhyped, I thought. Pretty forgettable. Haven't given Q-Tip a listen yet, but I'll be sure to do that soon.

[Kid B]

Atmosphere fucking sucks.

And Midnight Marauders > Low End Theory.
Midnight Marauders was released on the exact day that I was born, meaning it is better than any other album ever.

[Laur3l]

Front row warped 07 ;-) I didn't even know who he was but he's okay

[AP_Punk]

couldn't find the new album anywhere around here.

balls.

[|adr3naLine|]

Not only does he make good music, but he got creative with the industry and released a physical that would entice people to go physical. Pretty cool.

[robat19]

Haha, my original thread got locked.

Really? Dang. My bad, I guess. I feel sorta bad haha.

[robat19]

Haha, oh well.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, oh well.
Yeah, sorry about that. If only search function had been a little more accurate...

[robat19]

As long as there's an official thread somewhere

[CellarGhosts]

Word.

[acfrue]

I really like Purexed and Low Light Low Life, I love all the guests in that song.

[Dr. Acula]

Haha, my original thread got locked.

Haha. You've taken it like a champ because that's some bullshit. And hmmmm, I wonder why it was yours that happened to. Mmmhm.

[Dr. Acula]

Love both songs. And Im with you. I love all the guests on Low Light Low Life. I esp love the girl's flow on that song. I need to find out who the hell she is.

[acfrue]

Her name is Dessa and shes from Minneapolis as well (and she has dated P.O.S. in the past).

[Dr. Acula]

Cue the NBC "The More You Know" music. Thanks!

[Dr. Acula]

All the people in "Low Light Low Life" are from Doomtree and most are more talented then Stef. I said it.

Dessa is my favorite member, by far.

She's your favorite huh? Has she even put out a full length yet?

[robat19]

Haha. You've taken it like a champ because that's some bullshit. And hmmmm, I wonder why it was yours that happened to. Mmmhm.
Haha, I did all I could.

[Dr. Acula]

Nope. EP, she's on a ton of Doomtree stuff, spoken words stuff, etc. She's my queen. :-)

Haha, right on. I'll have to check out the EP.

[acfrue]

Cue the NBC "The More You Know" music. Thanks!

HAHAHAHAHAHA. That episode of Scrubs is great.

[spriltsc]

P.O.S= awesome

[ikikwe]

Just got Never Better on vinyl. Stoked to listen to it.

[AP_Punk]

finally found a copy of the album around here.

it's a damn good album.

[CellarGhosts]

sweet. glad you like it, Kirbz.

[fishingthe_sky]

Just saw the Never Better tour last night in Boston. Seriously the most fun I have had at a show in a long time. Sims and Hand Over Fist were sick, and P.O.S. rocked it. He absolutely impressed me when he picked up his guitar and played the parts to "P.O.S. is Ruining My Life" and one song from Never Better (can't remember the name right now). He also had Sims and Mictlan come out for a few songs, and they jumped into the crowd to have a "dance party" for one song.

I also have to recommend the Doomtree album to everyone. Dessa's verses alone are worth the price.

[TriangularDuck]

Holy shit, Purexed.

God DAMN.

[Dr. Acula]

Glad to see this album getting some love :nod: so damn good.

[CellarGhosts]

Me too. It's artists like P.O.S. that I hope can convince those silly people who put "anything but rap and country" in their favorite music sections that there's some great stuff out there if they just dig deeper.

I believe he's well on his way to doing that. The crowd at the show last night was 95% white, and could easily have been the crowd at any punk/indie/whathaveyou show.

That's cool. It seems like more artists are bridging the gaps lately (at least, that's how I'm seeing it) and it's great. Some friends of mine who used to hate rap like it now that they've heard artists like P.O.S.

I think Doomtree and Rhymesayers are definitely bridging the gaps between fans of rap/hip-hop and of other genres. People just need to let go of the stereotypes built by Top 40 radio and realize there's a lot of intelligent music to be heard in rap, not just throwaway beats and lyrics. Without a doubt, though, P.O.S. demonstrates a great amount of versatility and range and is definitely trying to reach far beyond the genre of rap/hip-hop to find fans. With any luck, he'll start bringing in more people from the "scene" to be on his records, and vice-versa. I also hope Lazerbeak will make more beats like the one he did on "Purexed" for P.O.S. That shit's gold.

Sorry for the long-winded reply. The show last night got me so amped on P.O.S.

[CellarGhosts]

Bumped because Evan's thread is ridiculous.

[jbaseball44]

Haven't listened in a while.

[cscwell107]

I'm definitely gonna listen to some P.O.S. today. So good.

[TachyonEvan]

My bad, Chris - deleted my thread.

[TachyonEvan]

Anyway, I meet this dude today.

[CellarGhosts]

Don't worry about it. It's just that that thread was getting way out of hand.

[jbaseball44]

At first i wasn't sure if i had unsubscribed to the last thread somehow because i was almost sure i posted in it.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Thank god this was bumped.

[bradsonemanband]

i looove POS

[Colorblind!]

This is the only rapper I like, and I love him.
Can somebody point me in the direction of more good shit like this?

WE'RE ALL THIRSTY

[TachyonEvan]

Greatest. Fucking. Day. Of. My. Life.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

I don't get how P.O.S. is the only rapper some kids like. Much better artists out there. Don't get me wrong... love me some Audition. But still.

[CellarGhosts]

Yeah, agreed.

[deadkidsean]

So fucking stupid if you ask me, haha. Don't be nice about it, Mike!
