MC Lars - The Graduate


The fifth studio album by the great Post-punk Laptop Hip Hopper Mc Lars. Yes, he describes his music as being Post-punk Laptop Rap, which unlike traditional rap music, samples Alternative rock and Punk rock in place of Funk, Soul and Pop. His lyrics often mock real life social events and issues, such as online dating, the decline of hip hop, the commercialisation of alternative cultures and illegal downloading. Plus entirely fictional events such as Moby Dick. Its a great album if your looking for intelligent Hip Hop.
