a friend of mine is opening for RJD2

[joethelion]

and I can't F_CKING GO! my friend is a break dancer and he has a 'crew' and one of them also spins

it's on this Thursday, back home in Des Moines, Iowa

yes... Des Moines, Iowa

and I go back to DC tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to see either of them!


how crazy is that?

That sucks. RJD2 is much better live than his albums.

and apparently its stupid hot in summer too

His albums, maybe, but his live shows when he has four turntables going are awesome fun. I guess his original music = meh, mixing = killer.

[joethelion]

yes, that's very true

and now it seems we're completely skipping Springtime...

but good news, my family convinced me to stay for a bit longer (I came home for Easter) so I might be able to go!

i like his original music personally. his newer of the 2 albumns is pretty solid for my tastes from to back

also his work with say soul position is super duper... the two soul position albumns i have are fantasimal

[adam]

Well, to be honest:

I didn't hear his second LP.

I hated the first Soul Position LP, mainly because of the rapping, not the music.

His remix of Wylin' Out is one of the greatest things ever.

check the production on Diverse's One A.M. and repent

[bxsci]

nah man, rjd2 isn't on anything original, he's got a few cuts with flavor here and there, but when it comes to hip-hop/downtempo beats I much prefer:

Dabrye
Shadow
Krush
Anti-Pop (Earl Blaize pruducing)
Beans
Tricky
Cannibal Ox (El-P producing)
Dizzee Rascal
Wiley
Kool Keith (Automator or Kut Master Kurt producing)

I need something original and/or progressive na mean?

Dead Ringers was garbage bag...
