AIM - Cold Water Music

I was listening to this earlier, and debating whether to add it to the thread. It's a bloody good album...not really hip-hop/rap though....

It's not. What's with all these winking smileys? Is there something magical you know that the rest of us don't about Aim?

A bit I suppose. Live, they basically turn into a funk band though.

Aim = hip hop. True dat.

Must say that cold water music the tracks on it do vary from one to the next. Didn't think hinterland was as good as cold water music. And yes they do get a bit funky when live.

Jehst is a bloody joke. I had to say it.

Edit, lol now you have me listening to (and laughing at) Task Force. Oh my word.

 

[Gee]

Jehst is a joke? riiiiight..

Ah cmon he is. Not to derail the thread, but here's a Jehst lyric snippet:

"So when I'm fed up I get red up
Mary Jane messed my head up
She can be my best friend forever
At times I regret that I met her
When she eats all my cheddar
But she makes life seem better
Like whatever"

And basically it's all just like that. Nonsensical jabber barely strung together. Plus his voice is just so annoying.

 

[LOAM]

Haha, yeah that tune is terrible I agree. Falling Down & Return of the Drifter are amazing albums tho
