VAST AIRE and VORDUL MEGA are two of the ilest MCs ive ever heard. I always find myself recitin lines from The Cold Vein. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pADgllloQg4]YouTube - Cannibal Ox - Pigeon[/ame] [Vordul]2nd verse Eskimo me-dal doctrine locked in oxygen shell Words shot plated metal lung which spun kids' carrousel Mega alarm technoloid these boys fight four arms swinging two toes very well Terror toys jubilated mega noise when iron works Bullet shot animated mad windows with fireworks Shinin' summer-time hydrants Splash passing cars, now run ghetto tyrants These faces carry scars (mega large) Pigeons turn penguins talk fables cellular Detached Christ's Word But freeze-frame gold chain swing Son of God Iceberg gem shines on the neck of ghetto flight bird Getting fly like word Let it settle I remember cats snatched off the pedal (stealin' bike days) Doo-rags worn tight (Piranha bite ways) Smoke cheeba through the lung Arabian camel Fast like a cheeta now I'm knocked off my African sandal God damn you! Ethiopian skin mechanical Trapped in ghetto's mega-yard where mega-hard Arms swingin' metal palms iron skin leopard Holding evil metal eagle attach the desert Paranoid fingertips stitched with three-fifty plus seven metal shit Tucked behind the belt ghetto style like delicate street etiquette Never lacked toast metal cow got milk in the gut settlin' Cats gotta eat swallow beef horribly melanin mahogany Black boys feed face arachnoid Eight arms working short circuit manufactured crack melted Slinging shot guns through the mouth of cracked helmets, black felt it Cats who pop flows shot heavy through the nostril Brain sizzle grab the pistol and get hostile He caught you alone fuse blown Unemployed screaming "That's why I robbed you!" Tired of the Medicaid, deaded by the car (?) Novocain filled with lemonade "You better get a job!" mother talked, just another hawk He nearly aided bodega food stamp transaction Left me in corners buckled me accompanied by evil hands clappin' Rockin' my "hell I made it" wetsuit stitch So I can swim in elevators crazy wet through piss I rock my simulated air tank bit So I can leave pressures of oxygen where my mic's lit I'm just a pigeon " [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGR-SNUJXHU&feature=related]YouTube - Cannibal Ox - Atom[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVeUQxi7960&feature=related]YouTube - Cannibal Ox - Iron Galaxy[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWB9qqkZkRQ&feature=related[/ame] yea
Iron Galaxy is ill. Raspberry Fields is my shit, and The F-Word original or Rjd2 remix. Vordul's verse on Raspberry fields gets me every time. Haven't listened to this shit in a while, boutta listen to The Cold Vein now hah. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgfVOqmQQDA]YouTube - Cannibal Ox - Raspberry Fields[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUqbyggvw9I]YouTube - cannibal ox - the f word (rjd2 remix)[/ame] I hear Vordul Mega is homeless these days... shame. Both of them have such interesting styles.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjnc83ekh2o]YouTube - "Pigeon" - Cannibal Ox / El-P Acoustic Cover (instrumental)- performed by Ben de la Garza[/ame] Me too, man. The slide guitar on Raspberry Fields is soul food. "Yea, the early bird gets the worm... but the early worm finds a spot in early birds stomach and can't escape from it." Vast Aire - I'll never forget that line And after countless listens, I don't know if I like the original F Word, or the RJD2 version b/c they're both essential. Hell yea. Vast Aire is still doing good things, just youtube Vast Aire 2011. Got a few music videos.

If he always finds himself reciting their lines... it wouldn't seem so. Unique does not equal terrible. The rap makes up for the odd beats, although there's really not much wrong with them, they're just different, but so are Vast and Vordul, so it kind of goes together.
Hell yeah, The Cold Vein was one of the last great hip hop albums to drop (IMO). An excellent listen all the way through. Such a unique sound that you won't find anywhere else. http://forum.grasscity.com/music-hall/418726-cannibal-ox.html - my can o thread from like 2 years ago

I love the Cold Vein so much, I have not touched my physical copy of the album other than to burn it to my iTunes. Let Ox live on!!!!
I believe he was around the time of this track. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUKVJYs8zRQ]Vast Aire: Thor's Hammer (feat. Raekwon & Vordul Mega) - YouTube[/ame] But the more recent stuff I've heard 2010 and on, has been flame. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUN0M2RaGB4[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7w7TWZ3Q8U[/ame] There's many more, but a lot aren't online streaming yet, such as The Darkness off the latest Billy Woods album History Will Absolve Me. I also spoke to whoever runs Backwoodz' (Vordul's label) twitter on whether or not Vordul would be releasing another album. This was the response: Backwoodz Studioz @BackwoodzHipHop "Mega has something in the works. Don't think the who/why/where of the release is finalized yet tho so dont quote me" 1:20 PM - 7 May 12 via web · This is interesting, though I'm not getting my hopes up for an immediate release.
El-P produced Killer Mike's album that just came out, that album is fucking HARD. Great stuff... And two thumbs up on Cannibal OX, just to stay on topic.
[quote name='"fishpucker"'] El-P produced Killer Mike's album that just came out, that album is fucking HARD. Great stuff... And two thumbs up on Cannibal OX, just to stay on topic.[/quote] I've been hearing about that album, I'll have to check it. It needs an in depth listen, but Cancer for Cure was very nice!
Damn man, I cannot believe that some *****s just said that Cann Ox beats were bad. The beats were so fucking good on that whole album. the beats held that shit together in the few spots where the lyrics wren't on point. Nonetheless, I think that Cann Ox was a great collab and its a damn shame that they couldn't work shit out with each other and Def Jux. PS. Nash is a cocksucker for listing so many songs. Goddamn fuckin virtual trek to get to the quick reply
Check that shit it's quite possibly the best album released this year so far. I haven't given Cancer 4 Cure a full listen yet since I'm waiting to get my hard copy cause youtube quality sucks balls, but I love what I've heard so far. In the meantime I've been giving Fantastic Damage and I'll Sleep When You're Dead crazy plays.

Don't get me wrong, aire is dope, but vordul's just got that story telling vibe. also this [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHKn6n3SE5k[/ame]
YES!!! That "American Dreams" joint is one I uploaded on my fake account, cause I saw no one posted it originally, haha! It's funny to see it being posted. I have more Vordul joints on that BigBopper page too, and more to come! I agree 100%, Vordul is overlooked and underrated! I made a http://forum.grasscity.com/music-genres-bands-artists/1036698-vordul-mega-appreciation-thread.html but no one posted in it, so now it's buried.
