why are you not sure? my boss thinks it's hiphop, my other officemate thinks it's just pop. and about 50 other people had another opinion. I just need to know it for work.

i like him though and totally respects what he is doing.

Do you guys think Nas's album "Street's Disciple" is worth buying?

Mrd00d · 07-08-2011, 07:07 PM

@Chipper, because he transcends genre. He isn't hip-hop in the general sense, but he is on the fringe edge. It would be easier to describe his genre with a Venn diagram.

I give him credit for the beatbox, but most of his work is sung. That's why it's hard to say. He's in there, but it would be wrong to just call him/it hip-hop and not mention the dub, the dubstep, and the alternative pop aspects.

Very good artist. Being a street musician is his bag though. It's half the fun to watch him build it in front of a live audience...

No avoid it. or download it if you must listen but it's honestly not his best work imo.

actually nevermind...take someone else's opinion because I only remember Theifs Theme from it but I don't remember it standing out. I may have to listen to it again.

Slowly getting into hip hop and rap. Who are some artists similar to this Outasight?

Electrophonic Tonic · 07-16-2011, 01:20 AM

I've only heard Outasight in a few youtube videos. But, I think you would like RJD2. I can't give you a specific recommendation for him, but he's the first guy that came to my mind when I heard Outasight

I used the search and didn't find anything about Freddie Gibbs. I suppose he could be classified as "underground" as you don't hear his **** on the radio or MTV but I love his sound. He uses old school beats with horn sections and he has a tupac-like flow and delivery. Check this out and tell me what you think.

From his newest EP

Some other tracks
