Bliss N Eso

Postby Chilli » Jun 1st, '11, 02:42

Check two of Australia's finest lyricists. Multi maniacs, thought-provoking content matter and renowned (by me, and me alone) for their classy use of alliteration. Talented DJ too.

They've got 4 albums out. The latest two (Flying Colours and running On Air) are where you should start. Check that shit.

Bliss is the American (but he moved to Australia when he was 13).
Eso's the Australian.

HAVE A TASTE!

ART HOUSE AUDIO: Some Aussie swagger. Eso's verse (starts at 1:37) is particularly awesome


THE SEA IS RISING: Just listen to Bliss destroy that rhyme scheme in the first verse. Really cool subject matter too.


GORILLA MILITIA: Another murdered rhyme scheme.


SMOKE LIKE A FIRE (featuring RZA): Eso's Dark Knight references... Plus so cool that they got RZA on a track.


WEIGHTLESS WINGS


ROYAL FLUSH: Swaaaag. Bliss on that "M" section. Fiiiiyah.
"Hyperwarp to Automator's crib and light the torch
They can't fight the force
Victory is ours once we strike the source
Enterprising wise men look to the horizon
Thinking more capitalism is the wisdom
and imprison all citizens, empower with rhythm
We keep the funk alive by talking with idioms"

Bleh. Multis for the sake of it. Big words to sound smart. Boring voices that sound like every white kid on Youtube. Beat was kinda nice I guess.

Thanks for sharing, but bleh. An Australian Rhyume Asylum, I predict everyone here will be fellating them shortly...

Which track did you listen to?

Multis for the sake of it? Maybe in some of the swag n' brag tracks, but in songs like The Sea is Rising, they're using a ton of multis but still saying some real shit which I would think is the opposite of "multis for the sake of it".

They're far from Rhyme Asylum. At times, they verge on pop. These guys are maaaaassive in Australia. Running On Air knocked Recovery off the top of our charts when it came out. I'd say they write far better music than Rhyme Asylum (although whether they're better rappers is definitely debatable).

But each to his own.

I've now listened to all of them. Yes, they're saying "real shit" but it's very generic to me, what every "concious" rapper talks about, it's the same old BS. No soul to it. Their multis are just that, multis. Like, you can tell they just wanted to have the rhymes and it makes the verses sound less natural. They're voices are shit, completely awful. They sound like every other young white guy on the earth, nothing unique about their voices at all. The Australian is horrible, and it has nothing to do with the accent. Overall, very monotonous and stereotypical "lyrical" rap, they're completely forgetable and say nothing of real substance.

The fact that they're huge in Australia is mind blowing. I don't like Rhyme Asylum, but they're better than these guys.

Holy shit, I downloaded Running On Air and it was one of the best albums I've ever heard. I fucking love you for posting this. The American's voice reminds me of someone but I can't figure out who :-k

You have to be kidding me. If you like it OK, but to say it's one of the best albums you've heard? How many have you heard, 7? These kids just try to sound deep and rhyme, they have horrible voices and some of the most generic "deep" topics I've heard. WAHHHRELIGIONWAHHHGOVERNMENTWAHHHLIFE'SHARDWAHHHHDON'TTELLMEWHATTODOWAHHHH They sound like they'd get the shit beat out of them if they ventured outside of their mom's house. Where The Wild Things Are is a pretty tight song, but the chorus is just a shitty version of Muse's Uprising. Look it up, it's 100% jacked, down to the "C'MON" at the end.

Haha as someone just pointed out, anytime someone gives you something you can't argue against, you just post a pic or some two word sentence. You're a fucking idiot, and your proclamation that this is one of the best albums you've heard proves that. Shit, practically all of the dudes you dickride are better. Peter Nelson, Liar and a Thief, SIHKIH, they all blow this mediocre album out of the water.

Why haven't you figured out yet that I don't give a fuck about you? The fact that you were hating on them is the reason I checked them out and they're sick so thank you :y:

Are you that stupid? In two sentences, you managed to completely contradict yourself. :laughing:

And I wasn't hating at all, I gave perfectly valid criticism. I even thanked the dude for trying to share something with us.

I 100% argued with his opinion, it was Class who didn't back himself up. I gave a bunch of reasons why I think they are mediocre. And go listen to the Muse song I posted and tell me they didn't jack it.
