DJ Smooth Denali - Who's The Greatest MC Vol. 8: Big Pun (2006)



(NSFW pic lol)


Genre: (Old School Rap), (Hip-Hop), (Rap)
About: I feel obligated to post this as today (February 7) is the 10th anniversary of his death. He is IMO the greatest rapper that has ever lived, or will ever live. He not only rapped perfectly, but his music was always enthralling and at times melodic and he always had a humorous edge to him (such as the intro to the album "Yeeeah Baby"). Appropriately, he was a huge football fan, and today was the Super Bowl. He had a song called "New York Giants" and one lyric I always remember is "John madden tackle your corpse and hoist it on the tabernacle".

I don't care if you are a die hard metalhead, download this NOW! And awaken your ears.

DJ Smooth Denali - Hip-Hop Classics, Vol. 11: The Streets Of New York (2006)




About: Time for a rare non-metal post. This album is just so smooth... it's like a good beer. If this music does not make you move, you should get your head checked. This is quite simply the best [old school] rap/hip hop to come out of New York City (all of which from the good ol' 90's). All mixed together in a non-stop mix by the genius DJ Smooth Denali. I just got a notice about illegally sharing copywrited material (torrents) on my school network, and this album is making me feel better, so i thought i'd share copywrited material! (mediafire) :D

It includes all the classics... Fat Joe, Big Pun, Big L, Notorious BIG, Kool G Rap, Gangstarr (who i had the chance to see live but didn't, grrrrr..), and even old school Jay Z and Nas (when they were a lot better), and a lot of good stuff i never heard of.

Fuck The Facts - Complete Full Length Studio Albums Discography! (2001-2008)





Genre: A fantastic genre-bending band with lots of great and original ideas. Highly recommended. Basic genres are:
Early- Grindcore, Noise.
Mid- Experimental, electronic.
Later- Death Metal, Progressive Metal.
(but every album is different, see details below.)

About: Topon has stated numerous times that the name "Fuck the Facts" was chosen, in part, as a statement about his attitude towards the music he wrote. He tried not to feel hampered by genre labels, and that is reflected in the musical style. The earlier Fuck the Facts recordings up until approximately 2000 featured a combination of grindcore and noise.


Download Fuck The Facts - Discoing the Dead (2001) (grindcore, noise, death metal, electronic, experimental, disco, jazz)

Though those two genres were prominent during this era of recording, many other styles crept into the music as well including death metal, electronic and even as some as diverse as disco and jazz. When Discoing the Dead was released in early 2001, it retained many of these experimental styles, paving the way for the beginning of the first incarnation of Fuck the Facts as a full band.


Download Fuck The Facts - Escunta (2002 release date) (Noise, Experimental)

[This album is really all about mindfuck (similar to the movie- "The Machinist"). It's genius in my opinion. My favorite at first listen is "They Call It Dance Musick". Then there's "Fuck The Facts Is Sexy" which is what I would imagine getting run over with a train would sound like.
(Re-ripped on 07/27/2009 using EAC... more info and logs included)]
Vagina Dancer and Escunta, recorded in 2000 and 2001 respectively, are the core of these noise recordings. [However, Vagina Dancer is not listed on metal-archives as a full length album, plus it was only ever released on tape so I am not including it here.]


Download Fuck The Facts - Mullet Fever (2001) (punk, grindcore, experimental, rap, hip-hop, jazz, electronic, noise)

Mullet Fever was released in 2002 and featured a more punk-influenced grindcore sound. However, many of the songs included more experimental (for grindcore) styles including rap, hip-hop, jazz, noise and electronic. [Track 19 is actually closer to raw black metal] The album was largely recorded in one session of the band recording their own jam session and some minimal editing afterwards, and may explain why this album stands out on its own in terms of musical style and scope.


Download Fuck The Facts - Backstabber Etiquette (2003) (death metal, technical metal)

When Backstabber Etiquette was recorded in 2002, vocalist Mel Mongeon had replaced Christoff, and her distinctive growl was markedly different than Brent's deep sound. Mel's higher pitched scream became the norm for the band. The musical style became more heavily influenced by death metal and showed more technical aspirations.


Download Fuck The Facts - Legacy Of Hopelessness EP (2005) (electronic, grindcore)

Legacy of Hopelessness showcased a bit of a departure for the band in that it had a lot more electronic influences. Keyboards are featured on nearly every track, and are sometimes the primary focus. Of course, grindcore is still quite present as well as Mel's distinctive vocals. The change in musical style can probably be attributed to the fact that this was initially intended to be a solo release by Topon, but was migrated over to the band when it was realized that another full-length release was not quite feasible.


Download Fuck The Facts - Stigmata High-Five (2006) (Progressive Metal, Experimental, Metalcore, Grindcore, Death Metal)

Stigmata High-Five represents the latest musical style of the band. The grindcore and death metal elements are still present, but so are more progressive and experimental ideas mixed with metalcore elements. The album contains longer songs with more intricate riffs and atypical time signatures.


Download Fuck The Facts - Disgorge Mexico (2008) (Progressive Metal, Experimental, Metalcore, Grindcore, Death Metal, Jazz, Fusion)

Disgorge Mexico contains shorter songs than Stigmata High-Five but retains a similar overall musical style. In some cases, the experimental ideas are expanded further to the point where one track contains a section that is reminiscent of straight ahead jazz and contains a high register melodic bass solo typical of jazz or fusion. Rhythmic elements often featured in progressive rock are still present, and metric dissonance via polyrhythms are often present.

Big Pun - Capital Punishment (Big Punisher - Capital Punishment)




Genre: Hip-Hop, Rap (East Coast)
About: One of those albums that does not get old. Even if you hate Hip-Hop, you have to respect how amazing this album is. He was the best rapper ever to live in my opinion and the compositions are amazing as well. His flow is perfect. The songs are humorous and serious at the same time, similar to Biz Markie's songs. Best song is "You Ain't A Killer".

Year: 1998
