So you don't like the "flow and beats?" I'll be honest, whenever people talk about "flow" in rap, I have no idea what they're talking about. Das Racist don't rap as emotively as some of those artists you mentioned, but that's a style issue. As far as wordplay and topical lyrics, I think they match or beat just about everyone on that list. I've never been into Atmosphere or Aesop or Blue Scholars because they're so fucking self-important.
As far as "beats" are concerned, they don't produce themselves. Your boy Sabzi does, and Diplo, and Devo Springsteen, and Boi-1da, and Teengirl Fantasy, and Keepaway. And that's a pretty impressive list in my book, and it translates well to those mixtapes.

...uh knowidyuh you have ban powers right? Yeah, wanting to ban a guy for forming an opinion. That says a lot about your character. you're new here so I'll just give you a heads up, most people here aren't nice when you're posting your dream warped tour lineup LMFAO, Asher Roth, Hollywood Undead, and far east movement are all awful but what really tipped your post over the edge was 1. the idea that schwayze has any talent and 2. that he might be at sasquatch p.s. if LMFAO and lil john came and played Shots on repeat for an hour I'd be there

Ok, so I am taking a little of what I said back about Das Racist after finally hearing two good songs by them: "rainbow in the dark" and "You Oughta Know". Plus they earn points for crediting B-Real and dissing T-Pain

I'll take my advice from those with actual credibility. Thanks, but no thanks. 3)I've never suggested any of those bands should be played at sasquatch but would be generally prefered over Das Racist. Even if one of those other groups were picked to play sasquatch should you be surprised? Really? It's more than just Indie label artists. 4)Warped tour is and will always be shit. Three of those acts are better than that. 5) You're an idiot. 6) Typical answer for the casual listener who's heard of LMFAO. Shots is among one of the worst by them and only serves as a purpose for a nightclub.

cbat, over 200 posts! Good god you must just spend all day on here. You can't maintain a life and post on a message board over 200 times over the course of two years.

it's been tough getting in a whole 2 posts a week but somehow I survived. I'm also shockingly not offended that I got called a casual LMFAO listener.
none of those artists will play Sasquatch. Sasquatch is not just indie artists but all of the artists appeal to a demographic that is not just 16 year old girls (owl city being the one exception that comes to mind)

The first time I heard these guys I knew they would be kind of a love em' or hate em' type group. For sure, some of their songs are hit or miss, and they certainly have their standouts. But like know id mentioned, they released nearly 3 hours of music this year alone. Not even Portugal. The Man can boast that. There is bound to be some good and some bad. Here are some tube links to what I think are probably the better tunes so the people in doubt of them can get a idea of what they are capable of. They deserve much better than comparisons to Hollywood Undead and LMAFO.

Sasquatch is not just indie artists but all of the artists appeal to a demographic that is not just 16 year old girls (owl city being the one exception that comes to mind) Are all of your posts made at 2:30am on weekend nights? Funny, i've seen more than two posts a week from you in the short time I've been here. This must be a more recent obsession of yours? I'm only suggesting that you be more educated on LMFAO before making a bold statement like that... And have you actually listened to Asher Roth mixtapes? You'd know that he appeals to the right demographic. To counter your point, none of those artist have been or will ever do warped tour either except for maybe shwayze and hollywood undead (which I'm not even sticking up for). I don't care much for Far East Movement either. I was being a little sarcastic and I knew they would better express my insult to Das Racist. So Fuckin' lighten up, buddy. You took the shit I said way too seriously.

Whatever dude, the three of you are are so quick to judge, its just damn funny. Typical message board treatment of the "noob". I could really care less what you think. Its a message board, i post my oponion. Get over it. Should I be happy I made that sort of impact on you three? Cbat, your arguement on demographic is invalid when 80% of sasquatch artists are indie rock and majority of indie rock listeners are in their teens. Nothing against indie rock, but just saying. Sasquatch booked HIM one year so anything is possible.

Quit ruining a good thread with your underdeveloped social skills and bad taste in music. Haha, well isn't this is entertaining! If I have such underdeveloped social skills, how come I have so many friends... that aren't online? Hmm, thats kind of weird! You don't know what you're talking about, bud. Before I came along, you were the most hated person on this board. I know because I have "lurked" here for quite some time. You should be thankimg me that this board's whole two other users (aside from the welcoming moderator) hate me now. Go kill yourself. Good show you're putting on! To stay ON TOPIC, I now believe Das Racist have some decent songs thanks to the guy who posted the video links, although, it doesn't really matter because sasquach have already won me over by booking the best band in the festival's history, which is the Foo Fighters. Because of that, they now get my money. After all, thats what its all about, right? Now to be off topic: fuck yes! Seahawks!

Like I said before, I really don't give a shit what you think. Allowing me to post my opinions on Das Racist without giant narrow minded dousche(s) in the way would make for a nice welcome to newcomers. Comprende?
