Hey guys I have just been on to this one musical group Matisyahu, anyone know much about them or thier message story etc. Just sounds really nice when I burn something and start doing chores around la casa or try my cooking skills. Know of any nice sounds feedback would be good. Have heard Matisyahu a few times in Austin once with 311 and just brought me to a new level was in a bad mood and the way that guy went off was just tops.

yeah Matisyahu is the man. Definitely some good tunes!
I couldn't believe it at first when I found out he was a hasidic jewish rapper, I would LOVE to see him perform live.

yeah i first got into matisyahu in the late summer of '05 (them were the daze)
with that live at stubbs cd..

i was amazed at how fuckin real that shit sounded.. haha and like zlock sed when you find out hes a hasidic jew it'l blow your mind..

weird part is when he put out some studio shit soon after, i couldnt stand it.. although his latest album is pretty hard core

yeah hes some dood from ohio or something who used to goto a bunch of PHISH shows,,,,smoke weed and eat L,,,, then he went to the holy land and decided to embrace his religion. now hes a sell out pop musician who talks down against drugs and is constantly changing his sound to make his albums sell better....however ,,, his band is really talented musicians and i have much respect for them. one thing i will say about matisyahu,,,his live shows DO NOT dissapoint. alot of energy,,,passion,,,and enthusiasm.


ps>>>>damn hawaiins,,,, teasing wit your beautiful tahitian women and tasty hinano beer !!!!

yeah thats one thing i was disappointed to find out that he's anti-pot or anything intoxicating for that fact. i think he even spoke out against non matrimony sex.. what a tool in that sense.. to each their own i spose

lol..... I'd be singin' the same song if someone tried to give me half the shit they try to pass off as 'pot' nowadays :noway:

He does have quite the flow though... missed out on that show w/311 :joint:

if you listen to his newer versions of that song,, he has cut that verse out.

obvious that the majority of his listeners are smokers. wants his albums to

keep selling regardless of his message. and i have no respect for artists like that.

espicaly from some burn out loser who used to eat L at phish shows....

I know I missed the 311 show in Austin with them that would have been tops, sucks to find out he is against pot but I really could care less what the man thinks or his opinions as long as the music is positive, has good energy and doesn't bring us down. A sell out huh interesting, hey check out my latest grow in 2 and a half years

I have been a fan for a few years. The last two albums have some great tracks. They are not all keepers but some have a great sound. So much dancehall is so cheesy these days.
