This time i did use the search button, came up with nothing. And i intend not to be offensive, so lets see if i can not fail this time.
Maybe this is just me, but i find i have a distaste for most rap, mainly because most of it is ego stroking and people trying to prove they're gangsta (maybe they should be robbing people not rapping). I mean sure there is the fact that some if it is people in less than fortunate living situations trying to get out of they're life with music, and rapping about what they know, but i digress.
A small while ago i was told to check out a band called "Flobots" so naturally i whipped up the Limewire to see what was what, and what i found amazed me. I found rap...but not just any gangsta rap, this rap had something different. It spoke to me. I felt almost physically moved by this music. I love how its all about the things going on in our world today, the hurricane that hit New Orleans, or the issue of racism in the american south. I got to enjoy some real perspective on the world rather than just the standard materialistic "my d(@* is bigger than your d!*&" (as my buddy Killian put it) rap.
The point is this. I want people to listen to this music before they post if possible, and;
A)Tell me if they know of more music like it
B)Tell me if They like it, or at least what they think of it
C)Tell me if this Thread is just another failure like my last two attempts
Personally i just cant get enough of this stuff, my current favorite song by Flobots is Anne Braden, partly because of what it's about and partly cuz i am an aspiring bassist and i enjoy the riff.
