I've seen him twice. Once on Warped, which was kinda....eh. He did his entire set in the middle of the crowd, which was cool, but outdoor festivals and hip hop don't usually mix well. At least not to me.

Then I saw him when he came to Detroit last month with Saosin. HOLY SHIT. Killed it. If you've got the chance go, go. Seriously.

this.

on a related topic. ti just got out of jail.

on another related topic, this guy is comin to the FU Church down the street. reakwon was there recently, but this POS dude is a corny blend with hints of clown shoes. i will try to hit him with a rock like he was a prime minister.

Find other hip-hop artists who cite punk as a major influence/played in punk bands their entire youth/are anywhere near as cool as this guy etc and I'm all game.

This site tends to follow former punk musicians into their endeavors beyond said genre, so this is really no different.

Yeah, Wu Tang is pretty cool and Geto Boys are better, but I really don't see how they could be more closely related to Punk than POS.

Also, I don't see how you can be such a tool that you need to get personal over a clearly casual and in no way offensive comment.

There are plenty of hip-hop artists who have punk influences and are awesome and this site reports more hip-hop/rap news than just P.O.S. news. I can recall stories about GZA, Sage Francis, and a review of an Edan album just to name a few. Plus Wu Tang only had one good album as a group, despite the many solo projects that are good, and they are a little underwhelming live.

Isn't that the punk thing to do? Name yourself something self deprecating? I'm sure he was aware of what pos stood for.
