[Ataraxia]

just wanna know your guys views on Stickey Fingaz n RBX.....are they any good?....Ive seen Stickey in Spike Lee's clockers...hes a good actor

and Ive been listenin to a few more tracks from Nas' street's disciple...n its very impressive

[Colin]

Sticky Fingaz is great, that raspy flow is so original. Look for songs by Onyx like Slam, Bacdafucup, and Evil Streets ft. Method Man.

Street's Disciple is very good. Especially the first disc.

Any Kiwi rap artists who are famous or well known in America?

Wouldn't have thought so, Scribe is the biggest of NZ rap and no one in America has heard of him.

[Colin]

I've heard you talk about him.

Just like no one has heard much about K-OS, but he's HUGE in Canada.

[J@3]

If you rearrange the letters in the album title Makaveli The Don Killuminati The 7 Day Theory You can make the sentence "Ok on tha 7th u think I'm dead yet I'm really alive". Try it for yourself.

wtf that's like saying "If you rearrange the letters in The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog" you can make any phrase in the English language, try it for yourself.

Hey, I've heard of him you know I have!

He's one of my favourite artists now

[Mikki]

I like K-OS' The Love Song.

Anyway, Wisdom Kid I think those are just coincidences. But yeah, he may live in an abandoned Hangar.

[Dogg]

aaah...just downloaded Murs_316_The_9th_Edition-2004 lp. In first place i tought it's shit but now, when i listened it again it's nice. Too bad only 10 songs but they all are great Once again 9th wonder hooked up some good beats

[Username123]

K-OS is sick, with Crab in the Bucket song and B-Boy Stance.... He is my Candaian Idol

[Jona]

I LOVE "The Love Song" by K-OS!!! They're amazing!!

My Canadian Idols are Rush.

[Username123]

I thought K-OS was only famous in Canada, but ppl in the world knw him now. Thats cool for Canadaians, but like other Canadian singers he is a one hit wonder.

[Colin]

one hit wonder?

ummm, he's had two successfull singles off his last two albums. Heaven Only Knows, Superstar pt. 0, B-Boy Stance, and Crabbuckit.

[Username123]

I did not mean one hit wonder as ONLY ONE SONG. Like the other Canadian dude, he released good songs then ppl forgot about him (he sang R&B songs). Also Swollen Members, Radicalz and so on. They had thier time but they werent always succesfull.

[Dogg]

are you guy's buying your cd's?

[skins]

I download a lotta stuff, but if it's really good then I'll buy it on vinyl.

[IronMan]

Are you kidding me? K-OS, MY HOMEBOY FROM CANADA? Ahem, err...

Don't ever call him a one hit wonder, get your head out of the toilet. And don't even try to say he isn't successful... He toured around here in Ontario across different university campuses. And EVERYBODY who I've talked to who has seen his show has nothing but GREAT things to say about him. Even people who don't normally listen to that kind of music love him. His most recent album, Joyful Rebellion has been quite successful and has already released several singles from it. Crabbuckit, Love Song, Man I Used to Be, list goes on...

[Colin]

are you guy's buying your cd's?

I've got about 50 CD's that I've bought since I started listening to rap about two and a half years ago. Before that I had like 10 CD's by Will Smith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day and the like. I've downloaded about 80 albums.

[SkipToMy_Lou]

I've brought over 60 cd's and have the rest of them downloaded, I'll most likely be buying Cormega - The Testament and Royce Da 5'9 - Death Is Certain in the next week or so...

[Matt]

K-OS is pretty cool...i only have "Exit" though

[Jona]

I also donwload some songs but I've got like 60+ Cds, including the ENTIRE Iron Maiden discography, Rush, Sabbath, classic 70s and 80s stuff.

But since this is the Rap/RnB thread, I also have Fugees Cds.

[SkipToMy_Lou]

Matt you should pick up Joyfull Rebellion, even if you have to buy it...

It's definetely worth it.

[The GOAT]

I just want to go back to the Alive Theories, I think they're pretty funny. It's sort of sad how desperate some people are. Somebody once told me you could spell "I am alive" out of Makaveli. You're missing an I and there is no k in "I am alive". I did an oral report on him today, some kids were cracking up when I explained some of the theories I've heard.

[Jona]

Why were kids cracking up???
(I'm sorry, don't know who/what Alive Theories and Makaveli are...)
