I listened to the new Kid Cudi album and thought of a term I’d heard describing Heartless [Youtube]: Emo Rap.
Kid Cudi – Soundtrack 2 My Life (buy)
That reminded me of the white emo rap from my formative hip-hop years, namely Anticon. I haven’t listened to anything on the label since The Makeshift Patriot EP in 2003, but Music for the Advancement of Hip-Hop was pretty bananas 10 years ago.
Slug – Nothing But Sunshine (buy on Anticon comp or on the Lucy Ford EPs)
Sole – Suicide Song (buy)
As a special bonus here’s non-emo Slug wrecking things:
