Recently, all the "hype" around LP doing EDM collaboration, and with all the discussion about the band's music style, brought me back to band's roots - Hip-Hop.
LP blended a lot of hip-hop in their music around Hybrid Thery and Meteora, they even released two remix/collborations albums - Reanimation and Collision Course. Then came up Minutes To Midnight with only two songs that contain rap verses (Hends Held High and Bleed It Out) and Mike "start" to sing. Later on A Thousand Suns when they drastically splited the album to alternative-rock and alternative-hip-hop songs. Finally they released Living Things, in this album they mix it all again.
So how much do you really care about the hip-hop elements in the band's music? Do you prefer Mike to sing or to rap? New hip-hop collaborations are welcome? Do you prefer intrumentals like Cure For The Itch and Session or more like Tinfoil?
