don't bother with them. nice idea in theory, but in practicality it is not nice (this is only my opinion, and should not be taken as factual).
shite.

the gorillaz are an idea concocted up by damon albarn (blur singer bloke) and whoever the fuck it was who made up tank girl.
a band in the form of 2D animation. as i said, it's a nice idea, would 'ave been alot nicer if it worked.
thay attempt to incorporate reggae and indie and hip-hop and punk, and thay do, but i don't think they have pulled it off well.
'clint eastwood' the debut single was good and manifested a large public interest, but the rest of the album is completely dire.

I don't know about whether it is anything to do with Aphex Twin, it might be. Clint E sounds too far off to be infuenced by AFX.

Gorillaz are so awesome. you guys need to get your facts straight--the music itself (and pretty much the entire concept) was made by Damon Albarn and Dan the Automator. Automator produced everything the Gorillaz have done. Jamie Hewlett (creator of Tank Girl) does the artwork and all that.
Del the Funky Homosapien appears on a couple of tracks, as does Kid Koala, Miho Hatori (of Cibo Matto) and even Ibrahim Ferrier (from Buena Vista Social Club).
does ANYONE like hip-hop on this message board?

Hip hop is amazing!!! I consider Luke Vibert hip hop (ok not everthing he has done, but most of his works are very "hip hop"). Chek out Binary Star, Reflection Eternal, Deltron 3030, ASP (warp artist) and DJ Shadow.
Aphex is pure hip hop :)

Yes! Deltron 3030 is awesome. it's actually the Automator, Kid Koala and Del the Funky Homosapien, and it's just too damn good.
also, Prefuse73 is some great hip-hoppish IDM.

well, it's kind of like another Dr. Octagon. Octagon was the Automator, Kool Keith, and DJ QBert. Deltron is Automator, Del, and Kid Koala.

I think gorillaz are excellent, it's a really creative album. Anything dan the automator is involved in is always impressive. groups like the roots, de la soul, J5, tribe called quest, these are the sort of hip hop groups that are the best to listen to, they try to take things that little bit further.
+Ive just started listening to the early bob marley stuff like "kaya" and "stand alone", fantastic stuff, much better than the pop rubbish they put on the "best ofs".

To answer poor SWAI's question, 'apex' just means the top of something, the peak, the ultimate. Sorry to piss on your chips . . .

Oh yeah I saw it on a program a while ago while this topic first came up (this was dug up from aaaaaaaaaages ago).
It actually has another meaning too beleive it or not, can't remeber so I can't be a great elp but I am quite sure it has something to do with cars, racing cars I beleive. Come to think of it that is when I heard it mentioned, Formula 1. There you go, nothing to do with Richie boy I'm afraid.

hmm, perhaps APEX is in referece to that billion-buck oil company in Iraq/Iran whatever. i dunno just a thought. well ive heard that clint eastwood song and isn't too bad. not crah hot but
as for hip-hop in general; deltron 3030, beastie boys, prefuse73 and some of those artists on ninjatune - thats where hip-hop is at - non of this eminem puffdaddy outkast-or-what-ever bullcrap which is uncreative commercial-trash. "nuff said"

the gorilla group is a shitty idea spawned via the failed indey prick"damon blur allbran" realising that convential guitar music is considered old hat,he has attemted to burst into the pop world by investing in the powers of a producer and has let someone else make his supposed tunes.Pile of middle class english stuck up nosed shit! music for people who shop in gap!(mommy please can i have e.t.c. e.t.c.
