Freestyle Fellowship – \u201cGimmie\u201d (Decon, 2011)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few weeks back I caught the Freestyle Fellowship performing to a depressingly small SF crowd and hey guess what they still can rap circles around everyone in this and the other galaxy.\u00a0Young rappers should be forced to sit through their stage show and take notes.\u00a0Self Jupiter in particular is a monster, the most commanding rap performer I\u2019ve seen in years. Dude just exudes a weird, over-serious and almost mystical charisma.\u00a0The fact that he remains so underrated –\u00a0even within his own crew – is one of the great tragedies of hip hop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s bizarre to me how the more conservative West Coast underground artists that emerged after them – Murs, Planet Asia\u00a0(I presume? He has about 25x the number of Twitter followers that Jupiter does) –\u00a0can still draw mad cargo shorts to shows while these guys have been reduced to performing in front of\u00a0crowds of comprised of little more than their friends and a few lonely white rap nerds (raises hand).\u00a0Yeah they\u2019ve made some bad career decisions\u00a0but they can fucking rap<\/em>. Isn\u2019t that what matters?

The Promise\u00a0<\/em>is out now.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I wasn’t at this show but I was at the other FF show a few months prior at the exact same venue. The night had some better promotion but the show was crowded so have some hope that people still appreciate them young lonely white rap nerd.<\/p>\n
