P.O.S.Audition (2006)Rhymesayers Reviewer Rating: User Rating: Contributed by: Alex Billig (others by this writer | submit your own) Published on April 25th 2006
The Midwest is known for a few things: corn, cattle, plains, white people…but in recent years these stereotypes are proving to be entirely outdated. Today’s small Midwestern cities are continually proving themselves to be powerful and innovative forces in independent music. Regardless of your opinions concerning the artists, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that Omaha’s Saddle Creek and Minneapolis’s Rhymesayers Entertainment have become among the most notable labels in their respective genres. One would be hard-pressed to find a college student who was unfamiliar with either one of their leading artists (Bright Eyes and Atmosphere, respectively). However, while new additions to the Saddle Creek roster have continually failed to turn the heads of rock fans, the most promising new artist on Rhymesayers is quickly rising to indie stardom.

I've got 'Bush League Psyche Out Stuff' (love the bass) and 'Stand Up [Let's Get Murdered]' on my ipod and I love em both. I will definitely check this album out. And a hundred other things. It's mostly Pissed Off Stef. But it's mostly Promise of Stress. But mostly, it really stands for Product of Society. I've been trying to find this album forever, ever since I heard him on Heiruspec's Small Steps. I saw him live last year and he was pretty incredible. why aren't there more negative comments directed at this I enjoyed this record. But yes, he sounds like an Eminem/Slug mix, but oh well. I had a car that was dubbed the piece o' shit or p.o.s. for short The midwest is also known for producing way better grind and hardcore bands than either of the coasts, none of whom ever get noticed. I think people more and more are starting to realize Punk & Hip Hop's music and cultures aren't that different from each other. This sounds very promising but those of you losing faith in hip hop there is plenty of grat shit doen past and present including artists like Del tha Funkee Homospien, Common, Aceyalone Blackstar, People Under The Stairs, Murs. And I'll be the first to say it, he sounds like Eminem on some of his delivery. Love it. This album is so fucking good its ridiculous. If you like some of the harder parts Ipecac Neat is also good. the song "de la souls" with greg form the souls is badass, the rest of the album is pretty good as well no fucking way, this album sucks P.O.S. is currently the best underground hip hop artist out there, the guy from the Hold Steady single handedly took a half a star away from this album by the way, otherwise it's flawless and the song he's on is even good his voice is just so annyoing -Badmouth POS is a decent artist, a breath of fresh air in a genre over-saturated with the cocky, ignorant, fools we hear constantly on the radio. I'm not a big fan of rap/hip-hop, but I was starting to give up on ever even respecting it. Luckily bands like Atmosphere, Sage Francis, and this guy came along and gave me a break from lil john and the ying yang twins ranting about strip clubs and "fuckin niggas up". Nothing revolutionary, but he certainly has more vision than most of his contemporaries. One of thebest albums, I've purchased this year! Excellent hip-hop record! Maybe I'm just biased because he samples "argyle", but I love this record. | Features
