This is thread is to appreciate the lyrical mastermind of the underground hip hop scene sage francis Here are some of my favorite songs by him: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtNMly0aDUk"]YouTube - Makeshift Patriot[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4vVH3hBfs4"]YouTube - Sage Francis - Crack Pipes[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFnExJdqiMo"]YouTube - Sage Francis- Water Line[/ame]
I appreciate Sage. He's the best lyricist I've ever heard (Slug from Atmosphere is my favorite rapper, but Sage is a healthy second). I really dig the self-referential shit he puts out, although he's also very good with political songs. You picked some good songs to post. I also love Runaways, Inherited Scars, Hell of a Year... And just about all of his others.
I love slug too, he is second behind sage for me because i feel sage raps on a deeper level, but not quite as deep as aesop rock (almost to deep).
one of the first songs i ever heard by him was runaways, its a good song. but i havent heard any sage francis in a long time. i think ima go get sum
