Murs For President

Yeah! This album is for sure badass.. with all the crummy hip hop comin out these days it is very very refreshing!

Damn, recently Murs has been heavy in rotation. I don't know why, but for some reason I never really gave his solo stuff very much attention (despite being a Felt and LL fan). Was given "Murs For President" a while ago and only recently got around to listening to it. I'm very satisfied. Looking at his body of work - from 3:16, Murray's Revenge, Murs For President, plus Felt and LL - he really should be in my top 10 favorite artists, even though I've barely acknowledged him.

Also, if you haven't heard, there's a leak of Felt 3 going around.

Wha?! Where can I find said leak? Slug/Murs/Aesop- I'm wet.

The gods may bless you with a sign in the future!

The album is fantastic. Better than the other two Felt albums, for sure.

Funny, you said there'd be a sign and then- praise Allah- something surely did happen and I have my hands on it now. Weird.

Can't wait to peep this.

Yo Kirb I would really appreciate it if you or Jesus or whoever kicked Felt my way, too.

As far as Murs goes, man, I really don't know. He's like Jedi Mind with me, so hit or miss. I honestly have to be in the mood to listen to him or it just doesn't hit me. And when I don't like him, his stuff sounds like unorignial borishness. When I am in to him I think he is extremely creative with just about every aspect of his music.
Same thing happens with Turbonegro when I listen to them.

Well, a month ago I'm in the same boat as you. Something clicked recently, though. On a song-by-song basis I don't think he rips it up, but when you lump 20-30 good tracks together it's there for me.

He's definitely one of the artists that you get into more if you listen to a whole album or two.

Weird, I was about to search for a thread but it was already on the first page. I know absolutely nothing about him, except that I feel like I heard his name in conjunction with Atmosphere and Aesop Rock and my friend left a Murs cd in my car the other day so I popped it in on the way to work today. Holy ****. He's got a pretty sick flow and some decent songs, not sure what album but it was good. So is Felt 3 the one with Aesop and Slug?
