Some listeners consider Busdriver to be an abstract rapper. His rhymes sometimes border on dadaist and even pure nonsense, but there is almost always a concrete message amongst his fast-paced, seemingly stream of conciousness rhymes. An interesting thing that sets Busdriver somewhat apart from other rappers is how he raps to the melody in addition to the beat on some songs.

Busdriver is in trouble. A product of L.A. hip-hop’s mid-’90s zenith, the acerbic emcee is a Project Blowed vet who crafted his “abstract rapper” niche with an impressive guest-spot C.V. and a spate of solo releases on Mush Records and Big Dada. But somewhere along the way, the straps of the Jansport loosened.
In March of ‘05, Busdriver teamed up with ex-Unicorns, future-Islands Nick Diamonds and J’aime Tambeur in genre-mashing Th’ Corn Gangg and certified himself as an indie-rock darling. “There are no more backpackers, it’s all hipsters now,” Busdriver said at the time about his live shows. But Roadkill Overcoat is being released by punk-rock label Epitaph: Will his new hipster buds scoff at the label choice? Have his old hip-hop buds really been so quick to forget? Busdriver is in trouble.
