XV is great, love him. Anyway, I REALLY enjoyed this mix tape. Can't wait to hear some more stuff.

Clever.

Not surprising that it would be two kids from Drexel to start rapping over indie samples. Drexel is so indie.

Nice to see locals getting good support.

Strong review. I think these guys are highly inventive, but not necessarily for their samples. I guess if I have a quibble here, or maybe a question, it's: how much credit do we really want to give them for pioneering the sampling of "indie" music? Pretty sure the whole cross-pollination thing has been mainstream since Kanye sampled Daft Punk on "Stronger", if not earlier, and certainly since then pretty mainstream hip-hop acts have been doing it (T.I. sampling M.I.A. on "Swagga Like Us", etc). Maybe those don't count as indie rock, technically, but they're sure Pitchfork-approved acts. Like I said, I do think Chiddy Bang is hot - love "Truth" and "Danger Zone" - but I'm not sure they took sampling anywhere it hasn't been before.

Opposite of Adults is definitely the best hip hop song so far this year.

And this band is about as cheesy. You can only sample so many obvious indie rock song choices before it gets tired as fuck. And it has.

Ah, yes! Because a user name that you assumed is an MCR user name that I happened to make in 2004 means that I can't have opinions on mediocre flash-in-the-pan rap groups!

And your user name is no better. Probably worse. You probably should have considered that before you decided to post that.

phenomenal group. they're gonna be massive

I agree that they're awesome but I don't know if they're blowing up... I just graduated so I've been to a lot of events/parties in the last few days with DJs, and every time I request Truth or Opposite of Adults they act like I'm crazy. I wish they would, though.
