Busdriver, whose birth name is Regan Farquhar, is an underground MC hailing from Los Angeles. He is known for his rapid-fire, jazzy, free-association style of hip-hop.

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.

I need to know the title of a song...this is going to be kind of a vague description, so I apologize. Starts out talking about something like...."a style ya know a style of hip hop or a movement" then goes into the music "some niggaz say hip hop is dead..." i already googled it, couldnt find it. so dont be a dick.

clitasaurus - He is! I met him at a gig and he was totally cool- gave me an autograph- no rockstar bullshit or anything like that. Anyway he is doing another festival in Australia so I'm sure he will do a Melburn- maybe on my birthday if i'm lucky.
