XoC - Compendium of Knowledge

Compendium of Knowledge 

XoC

 

Where should I start on this one? I'd rather skip the rambling spoken word intro simply because of the stumbly nature of some of the poetry, but it does lead in very well to the track Compendium of Knowledge. The beats are mixed with the vocals very well, and the guest rappers throuhout the album gives a good balance of styles that make nerdcore the unique genre it is. The variance of styles in the background beats helps relieve the "monotony" that most people can't avoid in a full album, very well played XoC :) . The lyrical content shifts over an array of topics from daily life and loathing work, to sexual "stage fright", the big brother nature of google, and the internet in general and the government "decideing we no longer need the internet" and banning it, by penalty of death.

 

Score:

8/10  

Has an excellent replay value, and I will definantly be keeping my eye out for XoC in the future.

Alt + F4 My Life - Untested Methods

Alt+F4 My Life
Untested Methods

Also featuring: Karmageddon and Gl1tch.

Describing this album is a tough task. Imagine a world where there are living, breathing 8 Bit Nintendos walking around. Now imagine what those Nintendos listen to on their college radio stations. It’s one-third that. Some of those Nintendos are in the back of a hard rock concert, making out (probably by blowing in each other’s cartridge slots). That’s another third of the sound. The last third of the vibe resembles a lonely, heartbroken Nintendo laying on its bedroom floor with headphones on, listening to songs of love while wishing they had someone that felt the same way. Alt+F4 My Life is electronic in nature, but ends up being composed of many different genres. The oldschool synth-band-style Pop crooning mixed with Rock and Hip Hop cadences is truly a standout presence, and with all of the references to geek culture and emotional songs straight from the heart, this album is guaranteed to speak to you on some if not all levels.

The 2nd Best Mixtape Ever
Rappy McRapperson and MC Wreckshin
Released online September 2010

Let’s just start this off by saying you are totally not ready for what lies inside this download. Long time nerdcore rappers (As heard on some of the first RhymeTorrents released mixtaxpes) Rappy McRapperson and MC Wreckshin are at it again!

Is this comedy Hip Hop, or an honest take on how ridiculous rap has really gotten over the years?

Id Obelus - The Jabberbox

Id Obelus

The Jabberbox

Id Obelus, the self proclaimed rap nerd, is back with his homage to "collage rap". The hit single "I love rap", which was featured in the ipod touch game "B-Boy Hits. the Jabberbox features an all star cast of m.c.’s, producers, dj’s, and everyday good people who assist Id Obelus in creating a mixtape style album of raw rap music unlike you’ve ever heard. (feat. DJ Bizkid, Ace Ha, Selfhelp, Nomar Slevik, A.C.E.O.N.E., N-AFEK, Richard Cook, and many more)". The album has a wicked flow, as well as "potty humor", bizarre thoughts, and at times, and intellectual juxtaposition, and overwhelming since of irony and sarcasm.

Two thumbs up on my end here

The video is a shitty live recording, but the lyrics come through well
