[QUOTE=zzzZZZZ;30735758][b] Everyone[/b] samples Ellie Goulding.[/QUOTE]
Like who? I mean there's Tinnie Tempah but he did a collab with Goulding so it couldn't really be considered sampling.

it's legal, mixtapes that you'd pay for usually get taken down from it

Big Red, Chiddy Bang, Young Prince

Generally hipster-hop. Which is mostly what I listen to.

Also, this is the coolest video ever. It actually made me like the song more.

I've been bumping Soul Like Khan a lot lately, it's hella good.

Saw and met him when he was in Baltimore, he's a really chill guy, I try to promote him and Brown Bag as much as possible because I think he should be a bit more known by the Hip-Hop community in general. I guess I just think he deserves a bit more shine, everybody still thinks of him as the Battle Rapper (which he was great at, by the way), and now he works only on his own music, and still does GREAT at it, he just has great flexibility as a Rapper.

Also, Raw Society, just recently heard their name (they're an older group), looked them up, two of their songs stood out to me.

Yeah, he won me over with that line on the intro track of SLK that was like "I dedicate this one to all my light sleepers/who stay awake and wonder what the future might bring us"

Shabazz Palaces' new album titled 'Black Up' is really good if you're looking to hear something a little different.

1.Stop using "2" as a substitute for "To"
2.Define "real shit"
3.What you posted sounds like a shitter version of Death Grips.

Indeed, did you ever see his battle raps? Although battles don't really have the deep lines that his songs do, he was a fucking beast in every league he was in.
