Have you heard of Rittz?

a reply to: SecretFace

It's been a while since I've listened to any of his stuff, but Ihsahn from Emperor did metal with some jazzy elements as a solo thing. Never kept up with it but what I heard some years back was cool. Sleep Terror also did some interesting stuff.

As for hip hop, you ought to give Immortal Technique a listen to.

Pantera, Meshuggah, Machine Head, Slayer, mobb deep, MOP, non phixion, triple darkness (the british one) the doors, soundgarden, sepultura, nailbomb, rage against the machine...there's too many to list.

Ihsahn, like Opeth, did not stay locked into the sound that Emperor had which is why I'm a huge fan of his solo work.

It's artists like Opeth, Anathema and Ihsahn hell even Mayhem that keep music fresh and challenging. All are recognizable with their own sounds that have been there since they started yet don't sound the the way they did when they started.

Bands like Immortal or Slayer are still doing what they did , they have their sweet spot and I'm glad they still do it.

That is the great thing about music, different ways to make people feel something..

Just now looked him up, although i've heard of him. I think on 'hotnewhiphop.com'?? And i just listened to a video of his, and i can definitely see myself getting into his music. My problem is i've been exposed to a lot of different styles of music in my past few years, and i realize there is a lot of really good music out there. There are those that catch my attention right off the bat, and i try to listen to everything they've wrote. But i realize i'm going to be in my fifties or sixties before i listen to 90% of what i want to listen to. I'm still trying to catch up with Eminem, but he's still going, so I know i've got time.

Recently got into jazz, classical, blues type of music. We all know there's a lot of history there....

How about My Chemical Romance? That was the shtuff when i was in middle school. Always fun to play their old songs sometimes.

a reply to: southernplayalistic

Are you implying that I have the musical taste of a middle schooler?

Touché

Lol... not at all. I'm jammin out to MCR right now because your reference to metal punk reminded me of them... and i still dig it. I'm Not Okay. Actually, for everyone who posted in this thread, i can find at least a few songs of the band/ artist they posted - that i thoroughly enjoy. I even like music with lyrics in a different language. You know, some songs can just make you feel some type of way. I especially enjoy bass.

Hence the 12" subwoofer in my vehicle.


Yeah, i'm the jackass who pulls up beside you guys at the stoplight with bass boomin.... # it.

a reply to: southernplayalistic

Haha .. I have a fondness for nasty subwoofer action myself.

This is my favorite band all time:
