I’m not completely averse to hipster rap, but I’m still not too sure about this guy, but I’m willing to remain open to him on the strength of this.

February 23rd, 2008 at 4:55 pm
How is it hipster rap? bcuz he’s not talking about beef & Rims? Ya’ll are brainwashed…Yaahh trick Yahh..is that better?
February 23rd, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Mickey Factz is deff one of the best new rappers out, Heaven’s Fallout might be better than any mixtape out this year.
February 23rd, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Honestly, he wasn’t sayin nuthin’…but I like the movement, due to the fashion, non-violence and mainly, its another branch from the tree a hip-hop…yet still dudes have always been chattin’ on techno beats since the early 90′s-Bar 16/Coney Island Hign-St.Marks’ NYC…Its nothing new but I like the movement-crunk,screw,hipster rap,booty music,gansta,grime (UK)-all hip-hop.
February 23rd, 2008 at 7:50 pm
You rocking Gold Supra’s in your promo shots, You Hipster rap. Period
In terms of MCing: Factz > Cool Kids.
Cool Kids got the hipster crowd on smash tho.
February 23rd, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Thats the problem…People always like to put labels on everything. Hip-hop culture hasn’t evolved in a long time and people are scared of change. Having Gold Supras on doesn’t constitute it being “Hipster rap”…If he had on Black Nike Boots would that make it “Gangsta Rap?” Jay-z did an album with Linkin Park is he a Rock Rapper now?? All I say is don’t let the powers that be brainwash you….Labels are for suckers!! Lets just call it HIP-HOP..Honestly I blame the label thing on the media. I’m not the biggest Mickey Factz fan but I respect his direction.

you go from mlk love and freedom with african americans to spazzin in a barbershop talkin bout “ridin with the shotti”? now in the epk he talkin bout “no guns”. . .not sure if he’s a poser or not.

He’s is the future of music. You can give hand 2 muddy socks to him &he will make a song about it of the top of his dome & it will be hot. He’s made music of almost all genres. I have all his mixtapes, even the ones before he started doing free downloads. Every mixtape gets better. Heavens Fall Out is poppin! You should catch one of his shows, they are awesome. Yall should stop sleeping on Mickey Factz. You know they sell Red Bull on every corner Bodega!
Everyone is entitled to voice their opinion. Mr. Nah Right, I predict that Mickey Factz’s music will grow on you by the summer time.

mickey factz. ..wtf,wait let me spell that out,what the fuck is a mickey factz. ..i’m not hating or anything,but dude is really trying too hard,he looks like he just learned how to rap,he need to step his bars up
don’t nobody wanna scoop up a shorty in the V with no techno rap,bitch gone take her seatbelt off immediately,”fall out heaven”.. “college dropout”,cmon now let’s be serious now,he kanye shadow ahahaha
he prolly wrote them other comments himself,i know there aint anybody on here cock surfin’ like that.. best new artist and best mix-tape yeah okay ya boy needs to that silly ass hat off and them square frames. ..
February 24th, 2008 at 4:22 am
I’ve followed some of Mickeyz work on and off for a few years. He doesn’t strike me as hipster rap…more like a Hypebeast type (peep hypebeast.com if you’re not familiar). I always felt as if artists like El-P or Aesop Rock kind of fit into that hipster hip-hop category, I could be mistaken. Mickeyz music is cool. It’s just this….
One minute its this http://youtube.com/watch?v=BTySa-ij800
next minute its this….http://youtube.com/watch?v=QBuZUJpbjTI
leaving me “?”
February 24th, 2008 at 4:54 am
^^^but shorty gonna want to hop in the ride thats “gun totin, gun smokin’…blah blah”…ignorance is bliss
The music is cool…has a nice vibe to it…adds a whole new dimension to the game…plus im sure he’s loving the kanye comparisons, since he’s the only one gettin it rite now.
Don’t be mad cuz he stylin on you…with Gold Supras on.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:18 am
kash for keepz about sums it up best.
February 24th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
mickey’s cool with me, get that heavens fallout
February 24th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
It’s hard to even listen to someone who thinks he doing something that hasn’t already been done. lol. 2016 try late 80″s early 90′s …Fast Eddie among others already did this, Hip Hop like all Black culture reinvents itself, even repeats itself.
And by trying not to hate i won’t mention the fact he’s posing in luxury cars fronting like a lot of cats, then going back to the apt. studio to humble.
let the music speak for yourself until you get a publicist or do some research on the history of your art form.
February 25th, 2008 at 3:49 am
Cosign with Kash for keepz…….shit is trash wanna be “cool” rap………shit is a trend and all trends die……he’ll have to reinvent hisself again when the whole “hipster” thing fades out

#1 – I wouldn label him as Hipster rap. He just raps and recently had a run of rocking over techno.
#2 – Is he a good MC? Absolutely damn near great but he’s a little gassed. His crew GFC claims people bite his style like Kanye and that’s pure silliness. Like Kanye cares about Mickey Factz.
#3 – It’s either rap or back on the ave for this guy. He never went to college.
#4 – He went from spitting conscious to talking about guns to now clothes and fashion. Who are you? His brotha been in street trouble, but not Mick.
#5 – I give them credit for being the leaders of their movement or niche, but I also feel they don’t deliver. Well, he doesn’t. He was supposed to rap with Pharell or sign with him and that never happened. Atlantic, Capitol never happened.
In the end, great rapper and despite what his crew may think, there’s no direction.

[...] "Hipster rap." That phrase is getting a lot of play lately. What is it? I used it to describe Mickey Factz and he categorically rejected the classification. I’m not even sure how I personally define the genre, but I know it when I see it. I think most people in the Hip-Hop community are usingn it as a blaket term to describe any MC or group that embraces the retro asthetic, but I don’t think that is the sole determining factor. I’d say that’s probably how Kidz In The Hall ended up getting shoved into that category. Their late 80’s/early 90’s inspired single "Driving Down Tha Block" just happed to drop as the idea of a hipster rap scene was getting attention and they kind of got swept up in that energy. [...]
