Doomtree - False Hopes (2007)


Hip-hop collective from Minneapolis. Another album where a main attribute is nostalgia. Every time I hear this album, my mind brings me back to my days of Evil Dead and Sonic the Hedgehog, which is unusual since this group doesn't seem to draw influence from either. Maybe it's just the extreme campiness of the lyrics, the smooth, circus-y beats, and the almost noir/horror movie-like atmosphere present on a handful of tracks. I'll never really know.

Note: Awesome flow and wordsmanship abound in this one, so wear your girlfriend's underwear. She won't mind.
