Rhyme Asylum 101 [response to all the haters]

[_Steven_]

Possessed blacked the fuck out on every track from State Of Lunacy. Psiklone did the same on Solitary Confinement. In the end though, Possessed is more consistent.... Skirmish still blows lol.

People will hate for their lack of diversity but those same people like Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang, Slaughterhouse, etc.

No group with 3+ members can be too diverse. If it was just Psiklone and Possessed I think they would have a better dynamic.

I can't listen to RA songs on a daily basis aside of the occasional song of course....

I fucks with this song though....

[mcZu]

This song is good, too.

Okay, I gave them a thorough, unbiased listen. The accents don't really hinder my decision making but, I really don't care for them (the accents). Simply because as an American a lot of what they say can be really hard to understand.

Their flow seems really sloppy in a lot of songs. Before you jump on my ass, allow me to explain. Yes, they cram a lot of multies into their rhymes, but in a lot of situations (here included) that actually hinders the flow of the song. In most cases, they don't ride the beat very smoothly. By that, I mean that they could have placed an extra syllable (or two) or taken out a syllable or two. They sacrifice a lot of their flow for the sake of multies; I'm very much against that. Rappers such as spoon / mac lethal / sadistik prove that, if written correctly, there is no need to sacrifice flow for multies; They can work together very, very well.

^^^ This is not to say that some of their songs didn't flow well. They did. EX: multiplicity flowed very well, but the majority did not.


Secondly, their rhyme schemes, from what I've heard, are very, very similar to those who came before them in that genre, notably Diabolic and Canibus.. Along with a slew of battle rappers (thesaures, Iron solomon, etc.) In that respect, they're not very innovative. I mean, they do it well but they aren't groundbreaking.



This being said, I believe they're severely over-hyped on this forum. They aren't groundbreaking or innovative as a whole, but I can see how they are very innovative over in the UK scene.


Overall they aren't something I'd listen to on a regular basis, simply because it's not my type of music. But they are talented and stick to their subject matter very well.

Canibus and Diabolic do not flow like them... At all....

All I gotta say is, if you hate on Rhyme Asylum then Fuck You.

They live, breathe and bleed Hip-Hop.

How can you hate on this?

Holy shit, at that song. THIS DUDE IS FUCKING DOPE! Damn, that's one of the realest songs I've heard in a long ass time. That beat is honestly driving me nuts, along with his vicious delivery. MORE, MORE. I need more songs like that^ That's my other type of shit, besides stuff like RA.

^^^ Then don't mix the two up and misconstrue what I said. I never mentioned their flow being anything like Diabolic or Bis.. You did.

Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said by Xray & Kez, Rhyme Asylum are fucking amazing end of story.

[classthe_king]

P.S

Copywrite got Possessed on Attitude Problem but Possessed got Diabolic on Unreasonable


I can't wait for the new Copy/Rhyme Asylum song though

[Tash8]

maybe if you stopped calling us idiots, just maybe, we'd listen to you. I thought I already talked to you about this, it's circular theory.

with that said, i'm listening to the songs.
