"Sage Francis"

[Soot and Stars]

Yep! I'm going to be that guy! It's the anything goes thread so I'm dropping a rapper in here!

This is a rapper who I own a c.d. from who I think is different from what most people hate about rap! This guys lyrics are real dark poetry and he delivers like a beat poet in a lot of his songs! He's more likely to drop a literary reference than any talk of shooting or bling! He goes from an old school sound to dark dreary soundscapes in his sound! I only own this c.d. from him:

"Human The Death Dance"

but I really like everything off of it!

The first song I heard was:

"Underground For Dummies"
(His most mainstream sound but has an old school hip-hop vibe as he tells his history in the hip-hop business)



My favorites:

"Woke Up This Morning (ft. Jolie Holland)"
(really cool western vibe with a cool collaboration with Jolie Holland)



"Black Out White Night"



"Going Back to Rehab"



If you guys know this guy feel free to add to this because I only used one c.d. out of this guys whole catalog! Thoughts, opinion, comments!

 

[Oblivion]

Wow! I liked that one Sarah.! Hope you don't mind if I take the sails and post the vid for ya!

Broken Wings


I seriously think anyone who doesn't like rap for it's sampling and usual content should check this guy out! Like Thumper! Yes Thumper if you see this, this is the rapper I recommended to you!

Everything I dislike about rap - I can instantly tell there is none of it here. I'm actually enjoying Broken Wings, you weren't kidding!

LG should have a listen!

Now Sal I know I try to open peoples minds a little but I'm not a miracle worker! I respect LGs opinion and his firm ground on just this one genre of music. Now other members, we might be talking. I'm just glad that their are two members on this whole forum who gave life to this artist on here!

Both are must listen if you enjoy some Sage Francis. Word up S&S! hyeah:

 

[Soot and Stars]

Finally got around to listening to tracks off of



The Buzz Kill
(this is insane)


Crumble
(meditative poetry)

 

[Grunge]

I've known the guy since hearing "Crumble" a few years ago. He's not too shabby honestly. The more underground they are the more respect I can have for them. Their lyrics are different from those of mainstream so called rappers. This is raw. This is real. "Personal Journals" and "Human The Dead Dance" are his prime albums in my opinion.









Does it sound familiar?
