Take Me to Your Leader is easily one of the best albums released this year. Hip Hop with a live band is always better in my opinion ... Unless DMC returns from the dead. I didn't realize they had haters ... Them and Ces Cru ... Godemis specifically are my current favorite rappers. Every track on take me to your leader is dope .. I let it play in my piercing room while I'm working.

REM
Hardcore Bitches with Murs

Fucking Dead Prez albums fire.

Hope they play the Gathering and get mad love.

I will tell you the exact reason why people don't like Mayday. Because they suck. If you listen to that type of music on a daily basis you've heard the content a hundred times before.

Let's see rap with a live band. Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, Rage Against The Machine De La Rocha (lead vocals) spits rap in some songs, Everlast has had a live band, Rza has used a live band actually orchestra for the song Chamber of Fear, Public Enemy has had a live band with them before, Cypress Hill has also used a live band and KRS-ONE used a live band on his song Just To Prove A Point. The point you make seems pretty irrelevant due to the fact that Mayday isn't the only group to do the Hip Hop with a live band before. The style they do is essentially out of popularity due to the fact people generally grew tired of it. Also The Judgement Night Soundtrack is Rap, Rock and Metal bands on the same track. Boo Yaa Tribe Another Body Murdered perfect example. Your not listening to anything new. Achozen look them up.

All the shit you listed was from the 90s ... You think different generations can't bring styles of music up to date and still be good?

Atmosphere actually sounds dope with the live band too. Mayday also does .. I've actually seen them with Tech at least three times .. It's a good show. You might like it if you listened. You like to argue a lot iLL .. Ok.
Lol

hed pe is hip hop???? lmaoooooo

Everlast doesn't tour anymore. His kid is sick and has been. The last time he did tour it was with coka Nostra .. No live band.

Kid rock tours with a live band because he's a country singer now .. When the the last time he rapped a verse for anything? 90's?

Cypress hill just put out a dubstep album and are touring with that dude. They did that one rock album though .. In the 90's

Ice cube did it before .. When he used to kick it with Korn .. Oh wait right .. In the 90's

Onyx toured with biohazard .. In the 90's .. I remember because icp was on the tour.

Common toured with the Roots pretty sure .. Which would be the band I first mentioned now working for jimmy Fallon.

Talib KWeli I don't listen to so I won't comment.

So fuck off .. All the shit you mentioned was from the 90's kid.

Original point being this ... Mayday is a phresh band, they put on a good show. Anyone not trying to argue about dumb shit that doesn't matter, who may not have heard them might give it a listen, it's actually really fucking pretty phresh. That's why tech signed them.

Was suppose to be on their Black Rock record. Cypress Hill released Skull Bones in 2000 Rap Metal. Common has used different live bands so has Talib Kweli. Kid Rock still on occasion performs his rap rock from his early career. M.O.P. has a rap rock album called Mash Out Posse a collabo with heavy metal group Shiner Massive. Snoop Dogg has recorded with the Gorillaz and performed with a live band on occasion. The specifications of a live band has never been mentioned. Everlast has brought a band along with him on his last tour LCN wasn't involved with the tour. Cypress Hill on occasion has used a live band in the past decade. Public Enemy more notably Chuck D has a raprock group called Confrontation Camp. Mayday is rehashed rereleased garbage. The era doesn't matter if the songs aren't nothing new. Necro has recorded with live instruments Pre-fix For Death, Insaneology, Empowered, Suffocated To Death By God's Shadow, Ultimate Revenge, Necrotura. 

What?!
