*IGY and phillymic...remember that song, 'Where my homies?'...I fogot who sang that....let me know. Oh yeah, Peace! :=)
I look forward to reading this thread for years to come. I am pretty ignorant when it comes to rap. Yeah, I coulda put the period after 'ignorant.'
I'm assuming you weren't much of a hip-hop aficionado in the past Dio. Its safe to say that the late 80's through mid 90's producing probably some of the best hip-hop we'll ever hear. With the exception of some groups out there now....these groups that are linked are basically where alot of my love for the music is rooted. There are tons out there....but these bring back some memories.
All good shtein and I've got a specific memory attached to almost every song up there. My fav song on that list is Check the Rhyme - Tribe Called Quest. One of the smoothest flowing hip hop groups ever.
Good links Chuggie. :yay
I hate modern day rap/hip hop for the most part, but love the old school stuff. Sirius has a channel called Backspin that plays nothing but old school hip hop, definitely is one of my favorite stations.
Quote*IGY and phillymic...remember that song, 'Where my homies?'...I fogot who sang that....let me know. Oh yeah, Peace!
I think you are talking about "This is for my homies" by Ill Al Skratch, it was on their first Album called "Creep wit me" in 94/95.
Found it

Ill Al muther farging scratch! HA! :D
Now, that's digging in the crates memory style! Nice work mic!
Tribe is prob my all-time fav hip-hop group. They bring back memories, Black Sheep, GOATS, Das Efx, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube...the list goes on when I was a young buck. Then came KRS-One, Busta, WU-TANG, The Roots, BIGGIE and Tupac, Snoop. Now I am into MF Doom, Danger Doom, Mr. Lif, El-P, Quasimoto, Aceylone, Del, Hieroglyphics, more lyrical, more though provoking hip-hop. I def. feel those were great days of hip-hop, but todays MC's, DJ's etc...are way more advanced. It's just you don't hear these guys on the radio or MTV like you did back then. There is a great underground world of hip -hop, just like rock/metal. Its just harder to come by. HOLL...ER....
Microphone Fiend, Know The Ledge, Passin' Me By... some of my all-time favorite songs.
That's quality Chuggie...
i have all those on vhs (since converted to dvd) at home...but yes youtube is amazing for rap videos...i have like 400 hrs of yo raps...pump it up...rap city episodes on tape from 90 to 95
H...your cd is in the mail...should get there tomorrow
creep wit me came out in july 94 (or possibly august) and was a real solid record that was overshawdowed by illmatic street level sun rises in the east and the plehtora of other calssics that came out in what was the greatest year ever for hip-hop
"homiez" was the summer anthem that year...and to this day remains a classic summertime banger
Hey Chuggie, how about you put up a bunch of .mp3 tracks for us to download?

Here is a little trivia question for you about Tribe Called Quest. On what artists album did they make their debut?
q-tip debuted on the jb's straight out the jungle...tribe as a group debuted on de la souls three feet high and rising
what mc did tribe go to high school with who almost became the third mc in the group but ended up forming his own group
was it anyone from the jungle brothas?
nope...its a tough one
brother j from x-clan...he was just getting on his black power tip and didnt quite fit in with tribes more crossover vibe
Quote from: mussa on May 16, 2006, 11:39:15 AM

That is correct sir!!! :yay
Tribe debut on the song "promo" on the JB's first Album.
Q-tip had a verse in the song promoting their Album

El-P continues to be one of my favorite to date. Company flow to definitive jux...I just downloaded a 'Jukie skate rock' from their site. Pretty dope ass beat!
Like you mentioned, another aspect of the Hip-Hop culture that always strikes my soul is turntablism. The invisible skratch piklz, DJ babu, Rhettmatic, etc. and other crews have brought alot of attention to that. I still have my 1200's sitting in the garage waiting for me to take them out and start farging with them again. I've always been a beat before lyric type of fan. It takes me a while to learn the lyrics...but I'll recognize a beat 15 years later.

http://allhiphop.com/player/default.asp?id=Busta_Rhymes_feat_Stevie_Wonder_-_Been_Through_The_Storm.mp3&track=Been
If hip hip could stay on that kind of track and build off that.....wheew. That beat was nasty.
Too tired of the dirty dirty south, ol krunk garbage thats out...killing hip hop.
that garbage isnt even hip-hop
well Im summarizing hip hop as a whole. Im not getting into the distinguishing between rap and hip hop. No need to get deep on me
im not...im saying that krunk shtein...whatever it is...isnt hip-hop...the south can go to hell
please to grace us with the definitions and distinctions, oh wise one..
true rap music is sampled beats
1. a drump loop is key to a great song...tho its not a requirement to a great song the best producers can sample drums as opposed to using a drum machine...which a chimpanzee can be taught to do
2. next is a bassline...maybe the key to any good rap song...basslines pretty much have to be sampled...a live bass has and can be done well (see the roots) but its not hip-hop at its essence as it has to much of a live music feel...not that dusty dirty sound that is hip-hop...programmed basslines are out of the question and sound liek complete garbage...if someone programms a baseline they have no respect for the music or the culture
3. thirdly...a second loop...can be anything from a horn to a xylophone to a piano to a guitar...unlike the first two samples which should and if quality hip-hop will come from 70's soul music this sample can come from a variety of musical genres...from a black sabbarth guitar loop...to a jefferson airplane keyboard...it can even be a vocal sample...a marvin gaye ah or ooooh that would have more soul than some slave shoes
these aritists these day making beats on computers and with programs like fruity loops or a roalnd keyboard are disgraceful...its not even music much less rap music
yeah i know there are mad haters out there that will say sampling in general is not real music..but they just dont know...making a true to life quality hip-hop beat takes more skill than writing live band music...and thats the truth
sampling laws killed hip-hop...if youre kayne west you can pay tens of thousands of dollars to clear samples...but most cant do that...howver the heads from the south even the ones who can afford it wont do it...theyd rather make a garbage track in five minutes on their computer than put in work to make a quality product...and the sheep that make up the music buyiong public roll right along with it...its enough to make me wanna castrate myself
check this track
bob james' 'nautilus'
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=66D9FC6C6E4D5DF1
sampled on over 30 hip-hop songs
the best of them being daytona 500 by ghostface...one of the ten best rap songs of all-time
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=C6AEE78B7A63A6BD
gives a little taste of how sampling is done...and done at its best
and not done by puffy where an entire song is jacked
Quote from: ice grillin you on May 25, 2006, 09:31:22 PMyeah i know there are mad haters out there that will say sampling in general is not real music..but they just dont know...making a true to life quality hip-hop beat takes more skill than writing live band music...and thats the truth
I don't have to be a hater to say that what you've said here is ludicrous. I'll accept as-talented-as, but not more. If you really think it's harder, then we'll just have to agree to disagree.
all one needs to do is look at the transition from rap artist to live musician compared to the other way around...in a sense its unfair as 99% of white people dont have the soul to pull off hip-hop music...but still non rap artists couldnt make a good rap song to save their life...where as rap artists can and have gone live music and been relatively successful
haha...listen and learn to daytona 500 and if you can listen and not wanna beat up your own mother then youre the tin man....
say peace to cats who rock mack knowledge
knowledgists, street astrologists
light up the mic God, knowledge this
fly joints that carried your points
corolla Motorola holder
play it God, he pack over the shoulder
Chrome tanks, player like Yanks, check the franchise
Front on my guys, my enterprise smash many lives
Rapel on fakes like reflectors
He had sugar in his hand in his last crack career
We can can him, manhandle him, if you wanna
run in his crib-o, get ditto, skate like a limo
And jet to the flyest estate, relate take a break
Break down an eighth and then wait drop it like Drake
Thugs they be booing and screwing, we canoeing
Claim they doin the same shtein we doin, farg your unit
It's the same style, RZA train aboard, jump the turnstyle
On the alley tried to challenge God for the new vials
Especially that, aluminum bat in the act
Relax, lay back, sell a grenade a day, it pays black
The Mac-10 flex white cats like Windex
Index finger be sore, bustin these fly scripts
The Wally kid count crazily grands with our plans
Layin with my bitches and my mans in Lex Lands
We losin em, jet to the stash in new Jerusalem
Abusin em, rockin his jewels like we usin em
Low pro star, seven thick waves rock Polar
Roll with the older God, build with the Son and the Star
Mercury raps is rough then God just shown like taps
Red and white Wally's that match, bend my baseball hat
Doin forever shtein, like pissin out the window on turnpikes
Robbin stillupfront's momz for leathers, high swipin on dirt bikes
Voice be metal like Von Harper radio bubble
Murder sleep away camp, the fly lady champ
The arsonist, who burn with his pen regardless
Slaying all these earthlings and fake foreigners
In the Phillipines, pick herbal beans, bubbling strings
Body chemical CREAM, we burn kerosene
The conviction of my tape is rape, wicked like Nixon
Long-heads inscriptions with three sixes in
Kiss the pyramid experiment with high explosive
I slapbox with Jesus, lick shots at Joseph
Zoomin like binoculars, the rap blacksmith
Money's Rolex, with sparkles, Chef ragtop is spotless
I'm Iron Man no cheap cash metal I'm steel alloy
True identity hidden inside secret tabloids
Breathe oxygen both sides of my jaw carry oxes

I don't have to say that's crap to say it's not more skillfull than It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding,) for example. Claim rap is more skillful than other music/art, and you just don't make sense anymore. Is painting more skillful than movie making? Is symphony more skillful than sculpture? Come on. Hip hop is the child of pop music and poetry, and I think it's an art. But that means it's not more skillful than any other by definition.
whats more skillful is opinion....whats fact is that non hip-hop artists cannot not make quality hip-hop music where as hip-hop artists are capable of making good non rap music...maybe that means nothing maybe that means eveything but it is truth....

Eminem Back On The Big Screen
Rapper Cast As Contemporary Bounty Hunter In Remake Of TV Western
DETROIT, June 13, 2006

(AP) Eminem will return to the big screen in an updated version of the television Western "Have Gun — Will Travel."
Paramount Pictures has extended an 18-month option on the property to develop it as a vehicle for the Detroit rapper, Daily Variety reported Tuesday. The show debuted on CBS in 1957 and ran until 1963.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, has committed to shoot the role and is excited about his latest opportunity, Interscope Records spokesman Dennis Dennehy told The Associated Press. Dennehy did not provide additional details.
The concept of the series will be updated to contemporary times and feature Eminem playing a bounty hunter, Daily Variety said.
The 33-year-old Grammy-winning rapper rose to stardom with best-selling CDs, deeply personal lyrics and a starring role in the 2002 film "8 Mile."
Eminem is also expected to be involved in producing the soundtrack of the new film.
"Have Gun — Will Travel" starred Richard Boone, who earned Emmy nominations in 1959 and 1960 for his portrayal of gunfighter-for-hire Paladin.
I could probably see him as any kind of killer, but a western? Wheew. I can see the critics crushing him on this-- being its declared as one of the best westerns ever on TV and he could put it to shame..or...be the next John Wayne
this is big news at my office.

You're arguing taste. The point is that bad champagne is no worse than good gin. Add in the joke-factor and the fact that it costs $7 and Dio doesn't have a leg to stand on.
who the farg drinks gin straight rjs? the only people who drink that straight are retarded homeless people. people who don't mind being masterbated on.
true dat...i love bad champagne (as long as its sweet) just as i love bad gin
Any alcohol that REQUIRES a mixer of some sort is by definition awful and borderline undrinkable.
Well, then I guess vodka is the only alcohol worth a damn, because the rest of it is foul uncut.

Vodka, scotch, whiskey, tequila... these are all regularly consumed without mixer. As mussa so deftly pointed out, Gin is not included on that list.
lets be real here. most drinks that are 40% alcohol or more taste like ass, unless mixed with something.

alcohol in general tastes like crap...beer wine liquor champagne...because it wasnt made to taste good it was invented to get people farged up
i won't buy champagne unless they sell it at 7-11
The only booze I can drink straight is vodka. I pour my gin and tonics very strong, but straight gin is too much.
Whisky, whiskey, bourbon, tequila, scotch, etc...all taste like gasoline.
last weekend i got farged up on endless cups of Sprite and Cranberry vodka
gin and tonic is my drink as well. which is strange because by themselves i hate both gin and tonic water. but somehow together they are delicious.

DJ Too Tuff's back to scratch
He was one of the city's favorite turntablists. But youth, bad judgment, and trouble with the law brought him down. Joe Hicks is older and wiser now - and rediscovered.
By Rob Watson
Inquirer Staff Writer
If you had a hankering for pizza from Top Quality on Castor Avenue early this year, chances are it was Joe Hicks who came to your door with a hot pie.
Even some of the most knowledgeable hip-hop fans in Philly would have tipped the guy and shut the door, not realizing that the 34-year-old Hicks was the DJ for the Tuff Crew, one of greatest rap groups this city has ever had. Many believed the rumors that DJ Too Tuff had passed.
Until recently.
Once lost, but now found, DJ Too Tuff is touching the tables again, trying to piece together a career that held as much promise as those other Philly turntablists Cash Money, Jazzy Jeff and DJ Miz. Tonight at Tritone, he begins what many hope is a not-so-long road back.
"In my opinion, any DJ from the Philly area who is 25 and up has been influenced by DJ Too Tuff," says Cosmo Baker, the renowned DJ behind The Rub parties. Baker, a Philly native, called Hicks one of the best unheralded DJs of his time in the April issue of Wax Poetics magazine. "Any DJ of worth knows the cuts from 'My Part of Town' by heart."
With Ice Dog, L.A. Kid, Tone Love, and Monty G giving shoutouts to every part of Philly, "My Part of Town" was an inescapable anthem in the summer of '88, booming from every car, rocking every club. Even then, you couldn't get enough.
"The whole city got behind it at the same time," says Docta Shock, the hip-hop professor who runs workshops and seminars on the genre. "It was one of the first Philly tracks where the turntable became an instrument."
Hicks' desire to play the turntable started in 1982, at a meeting ground for the emerging art of hip-hop.
"My mom used to buy incense at the Funk-O-Mart on 10th and Chestnut, and they would have all the records," says Hicks, a Fishtown native. "I got my first record at 10, it was Grandmaster Flash's 'The Message.' There was really no turning back."
At 14, after getting a job at KFC, he bought two turntables and learned to scratch from a friend. School days at St. Joe's Prep led to after-school battles as Disco Joe, dazing rivals - or practicing until his dad made him stop.
"He would come up to my room yelling and screaming to turn that craziness down," Hicks says. "He didn't realize that there were always six or seven boys right outside my window always listening to me, so they got shut down too."
Though hip-hop was primarily a black and Latin art form, Hicks says he never encountered any more resistance than being called "White Boy Joe."
"Inside hip-hop, it was never a problem," Hicks says. "The three real platforms - graffiti, rap music and break dancing - have always been color-blind as long as you could do your thing."
After Hicks joined the Tuff Crew in '86, they recorded Phanjam, an EP that included the highly regarded "Kick the Ball" with Camden's Krown Rulers.
"Those were my boys," says Lady B, the Philly hip-hop radio icon and one of the first females to rap on wax, back in '79. "Jazzy and Cash were smooth, and made it look easy. Too Tuff would be killin' those tables - it was like he was torturing them."
The big time came less than a year after Hicks graduated from St. Joe's Prep, when "My Part of Town," the single from Dangerzone, blew up. The opening guitar sample from the Blackbyrds' "Street Games" coupled with Too Tuff's scratching of the Kurtis Blow phrase "so damn tough" was like a call to arms.
"It was the last song we recorded. We had the rhymes and the beat and I just stumbled across that Kurtis Blow part by accident," Hicks remembers.
Hicks had been awarded an academic scholarship to Temple University. But with a tour coming up, he dropped out and started living the life - one that provided only limited luxuries due to a bad deal the group had signed.
"We had money but it wasn't like we had money. It was enough to party on but not enough to really live," Hicks laments. "We didn't really know better at that time and when we found out, it was too late."
After Back to Wreck Shop came out in '89, the group split, with Too Tuff and Ice leaving, and Tone Luv carrying the Tuff Crew name for a final album, Still Dangerous.
"That stuff was corny and soft," Hick says. "They even had a white DJ to act like nothing had changed."
He started his own recording studio, but late nights, high expenses, and hanging around with some bad folk led to his incarceration on drug possession charges.
It took only those four months in lockdown for his studio business to fall apart. Many of his artists went to work with other producers, some were killed in street violence, others wound up doing jail time. Hicks was evicted, his equipment and records confiscated or stolen, and he was left broke with a daughter on the way.
Then Hicks began "real life," working in jobs ranging from a Tower Records security guard to Eckerd Pharmacy warehouse worker. He'd fallen out of the game completely.
Gone but not forgotten. Until 2004.
"I am working at the pizza place making cheesesteaks and whatnot, and some local kids who know me come in and say that some DJ named Z-Trip for Linkin Park had stopped his set asking for DJ Too Tuff, down at the Wachovia," Hicks says. "I really didn't pay any attention to it at the time."
He should have. But chance would smile once again.
An avid listener to WIP-AM, Hicks called up one night in February to answer a trivia question. He got it wrong, but mentioned that he used to be DJ Too Tuff.
"I couldn't believe it," says Tim McCloskey, a St. Joe's classmate who has worked at clubs around town and promoted shows. "I called the station and said, 'Just keep this guy on the phone, please!' "
McCloskey thought he could help him get back on track. He introduced Hicks to a friend who put him in touch with Butch Mayo, a South Philly native who had been working on Phila.Sophical, a documentary about the impact Philly DJs have had on turntable culture around the world.
"Everyone I talked to said he was dead," Mayo says. "So I was planning a tribute to him when we went to post-production. He was one of the best DJs ever, and now I have him in my film, in the flesh."
McCloskey helped Hicks set up a MySpace page.
"I then searched for DJ Too Tuff on MySpace, found about 50 hits, and sent a 'friend's request' to each of them," says McCloskey. "Three days later we had literally thousands of hits. Germany, Japan, everywhere."
One of those hits was Z-Trip. The DJ who opened for Linkin Park sent equipment to Hicks in the hope that he'd start spinning again.
"It's really crazy and really humbling. Z had been asking for me every time he came to Philly, in front of thousands," Hicks says. "I really had no idea people around the world were respecting me like this."
The groundswell of support has given Hicks the gumption to quit his job and not only start DJing but release some hip-hop he's been holding onto.
"The ball is in my court now, I am just trying to hit it. Hopefully I still have my swing," Hicks says. "Every time I get a little nervous, I go down to the public library to check out my new friends on MySpace."

TRANSLATION:
I enjoy playing my music loudly on my car stereo. Apparently, women enjoy this also because they become sexually aroused when they see me driving. Oddly enough, when I visit the Native American reservations, some of the more sexually promiscuous Indian women attempt to seduce me in their homes. Their intent is to divest me of my earnings. Such actions are unacceptable.
they ripped me off translating IGY's ebonics for everyone. I want my kickbacks.

beef rap, what torrents do you use?
The best site I've ever found is www.demonoid.com but it's invite only. If you want one let me know. Also for football torrents I use www.tenyardtorrents.com.
The torrent downloader I use is Azureus.
Someone es'plain torrents to me. I've heard of it but don't quite understand how it works. Is it basically the same thing as limewire or any other file sharing program, or totally different?
Basically you download a BitTorrent program. The most well known one is BitTorrent that you can download from www.bittorrent.com. Once you get that program you go to a torrent website and download the torrent that you want. You open up the ".torrent" file into your BitTorrent program and it will start to download.
Thats the most basic definition.
So there are torrent websites out there for different categories like music, sports, tv, etc? Or are there torrent sites out there that cater to a little bit of everything? And I can download stuff from any of them with the bittorrent software?
Also, are you able to preview stuff before downloading? That's one of my biggest beefs with limewire. I find a song I want, download it and find out it's got poor sound quality doesn't have the entire song or in some cases, isn't even the song I'm looking for.
Also, how safe is it in terms of picking up a virus or spyware?
A good torrent site will have a mix of everything. Thats why I recommended Demonoid to seabiscuit. They have music, books, computer apps, video games, tv shows, movies, etc. The only thing you'd have to go looking for is porn. They're heavily regulated and a lot of torrent software won't let you get it. Thats why I use Azureus. It's one of the only one's that allow you to download porn. :paranoid
You can't preview anything before you download it but usually the person who ups the torrent will put the sound or video quality next to it.
Cool......one more question........
What file types does it support? When I download something (music or video), will I have my choice from windows media, real player, mp3, etc, etc? Or does it have it's own torrents file extension?
The file you will download will be a ".torrent" file. Within that file are the actual files. So basically anything from .mp3's to .avi's to .wma's, etc.
Got it. Thanks for the info. :yay

QuoteThree years ago, we were a bit surprised that the RIAA had hired a former director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and jokingly (we thought!) suggested that perhaps the RIAA was getting ready to bust down some doors. Not long after that, we were dismayed to hear that the RIAA had taken to dressing up foot soldiers in uniforms that made them look like they were a part of the FBI or some other law enforcement agency in order to intimidate street vendors. When that wasn't enough, Hollywood lobbyists pushed to have the FBI play the role of enforcer, even having them raid a school at one point. Now, it looks like the RIAA has a SWAT team at its disposal as well. Apparently a federal SWAT team "assisted" the RIAA in raiding the studio of a DJ in Atlanta. If you're familiar with DJ culture, you know that making mixes is a big part of what they do -- and while it may represent a gray area in legal terms, it hardly seems like the type of thing that requires a SWAT team to bust in (the SWAT team's argument that they often find drugs at such places is meaningless here, since they didn't find any drugs). DJ mixes are designed to help promote the DJ -- and, if anything, probably do an excellent job building up much more interest in the music being played as well. If the RIAA was really upset by it (despite the free publicity), there's no reason they couldn't file a civil suit, rather than bringing in a SWAT team. Maybe next time they'll bring Shaquille O'Neal along as well.

He cant make a good song by himself and looks like a goddamn pig. Not as in "Wow, that guy is really dirty and rude."
ODB was really the only rapper to ever pull that off effectively, though. He farging mastered that shtein.
only on his 1st solo album though....his 2nd one was crap.
I hate Fat Joe. He cant make a good song by himself and looks like a goddamn pig.
new milenium fat joe is awful
DITC early mid ninties fat joe is great...check out his first album represent...its tremendous
ODB was really the only rapper to ever pull that off effectively, though
akineyle is another one...im sure youve heard "put it in your mouth" it was huge on college campuses in the late 90's...anyway he was ruthless with a lot of his songs...more so in a mean im not joking way as opposed to odb's goofiness
also eazy-e was odb before odb was odb
spank rock - yoyoyoyoyoyo
As i said in the other thread, Fat Joe's Loyalty Album has 2 good songs in my mind. Thats it the rest is horrible crap compared to the old stuff.
yeah he started going down hill with almost everything else hip-hop around 1998 with the don cartagena album...his stuff prior to that tho is top notch...admittedly tho mostly due to production
Alll Hip-Hop, like the NBA went downhill after the 90's.
you can lick it, you can sip it, you can taste it, i'm talkin every drip-drop, don't you waste it
if you can find it...should be on soulseek...look for his song 'no exit'....the beat is just incredible....and the chorus says it all...
"i wanna get out this relationship.....but im scared that my man will flip.....he always swears how hes gonna kill me....and fill me with the bullets from his clip"
i'm always sprung once I feel your tongue in the crack of my ass just eatin me stillupfront's mom
thats gonna be in my head all day.
:-D @ the "stillupfront" censor.
yeah i never knew what that censored either.
I knew it due to the one time Feva said "my stillupfront's mom" to me.
Ha! Fo' sho, my stillupfront's mom...
Anyone listen to Tech N9ne? If not, you should. Usually there's a small number of songs by someone that you think "wow, what the hell was he thinking?" I like every single song I've ever heard by him. I've probably heard atleast 35 songs by him too. His songs actually have purposes and don't have random shtein in there just to make it rhyme, they all go along with the main idea and shtein.
Although in some of his songs the chorus is awful to listen to. You'll hear it once and never want to hear it again, unforunately it'll be on two more times in the song.
I've been listening to Tech for a few years now. I heard him when he was coming up in KC.
Good shtein. Before about October, I only heard two songs for about two years and I thought they were really good. Then I realized I'm a dumbass and should actually see if I like him. Yeah, he definitely kicks ass.
most of yous wont know what these records are but i dropped $70 worth on these re-issues today.....recognize
stezo 'crazy noise' - classic
grand daddy iu 'smooth assasin' - way ahead of its time...if you like mf doom this was him before he was...ummmm...him
just ice 'kool and deadly' - this and schooly d set off the gangsta rap era
mantronix 'musical madness' - 1985.....more ahead of its time than anyone not named rakim
t la rock 'lyrical king....' t la rock....I have nothing to contribute
jvc force 'doin damage'......this shtein was hard to get when it was released...any hip-hop fan that doesnt cop this now should sell their soul
Ah man much love for those records, I love Just Ice, he was KRS-One's gangster side kick way back.

That is the worst show I have ever seen. It's just so awful.
I watched the first one, and couldn't stand it, especially the way the dude went out, "I've got nothing, thats not the way I work."
break beat 101
dope video.....the narrator overstates this particular breaks importance/influence...theres numerous other drum breaks that were bigger than this one
the funky drummer being the king
another huge one and maybe my personal favorite is the skull snaps 'its a new day'....the break is at the start of the song....been used on more hip-hop songs than probably any drum break except for the funky drummer....and even better its a great song all by itself....download and love

you should get some of them...they are reissues that wont be around for long....and this the the first and in all probability the last time they will be easily available
I got the Skull Snaps a year or so ago. I had the opening lyrics to the track just after It's a New Day, I'm Your Pimp, stuck in my head all afternoon because I went to listen to the album after watching that video
i'm your pimp
i wear my hat to the side
and walk with a limp
not a great song or anything..just had the lines in my head
thats a great record...sadly its their one and only album

Good find, Dio.
I dig strong drum beats and bass lines. I could listen to drum beats all day. I used to want to play the drums when I was a kid but my parents wouldn't let me. Too loud, they said. So I chose the saxophone. I ended up playing tenor sax and it worked out well for me. Got me into jazz big time.
YO IGY!!!!!
I remember that a while back maybe on the other hip-hop thread...that I mentioned World Reknown but I couldn't remember what song...and you couldn't believe I knew who they were....anyways....I was going through an old list of vinyl I have and the song is "Come take a ride".

elp is sickening...hasnt made anything remotely dope since funcrusher
Granted nothing will replace funcrusher, but he has evolved.
Fantastic Damage I think is a great album. Hard to get into if you're not an El-P fan...but most of the tracks on that album are dope, different from what one would expect on funcrusher.
He was more raw early on. It seems as though he's put more thought and meaning into his later shtein.
T.O.J. and stepfather factory on Fantastic Damage are pretty deep.
For you El-P fans....
He has at least 4 old tracks if you can even get your hands on them....
7 Notas, 7 Colores (a rap group from spain) feat. El-P- Brooklyn to Barcelona :yay :yay :yay :yay :yay
Latyrx feat. El-P: Looking over a city :yay :yay :yay :yay
El-P: Trapped in 3-Dimensions :yay :yay :yay :yay :yay (remnants of his old shtein)
And there's this one called 'A day like no other' :yay :yay :yay :yay :yay Dope as farg.
I'll let ya'll know how the show goes. It's rare for him to come out this way. I'm glad I caught wind in time.
El Producto is toasty!
to each his own....but unlistenable spacey noise is what hes made since funscrusher....no soul just shtein that hurts your ears
Quote from: hbionic on March 26, 2007, 08:35:44 PM

My favorite pre-2000 work of his other than
Funcrusher and maybe "Suzy Pulled a Pistol on Henry" is a remix of Mike Ladd's "Bladerunners" that showed up on some compilations. The "spacey noise" matches the rhymes a lot better than the original production, which was one of the weaker tracks on that Ladd album.
Personally I like a lot of his production, like his stuff for Mr. Lif and Cannibal Ox. When it doesn't work it tends to
really not work though.

Philly has had a huge lacking in concerts lately. everyone stays clear of philly, apparently due to venue owners who demand more money and less for artists. thats fargin lame.

Lots of venues are asking for large percentages of the merch that artists sell at their venues too. That's why T-Shirts cost you 40 bucks at a concert. There's really just a huge lacking of concerts in general now a days. Unless you got 200 bucks a seat to drop on the Police. ::)
I blame Comcastix
go to bars and see the bands before they get big, dumbasses
930 club in dc has a ridiculous amount of shows
including this saturday epmd and black sheep
yup, not only does 930 have a show almost every night of the year, i'd say at least once a week it's hip hop.
i'll be there tomorrow night but not for a hip hop show.
nas is at love next weekend too.

the problem is they are not even coming to the bars or small venues. i discovered some good underground music this year, none are coming to philly. they went to DC, Baltimore, NYC, Jersey, but not Philly. Somethings wrong with this picture
The El-P concert was ridiculously incredible. What a farging performance. This man is genius. I know understand his shtein better. It may be hard to get used to on CD...but when you're at the show, his music is the shtein!
The show opened up with an area dj 'C-Minus'...part of the 'fantastic four'....used to be on 'Flavor Fridays' on Friday nights and they'd play nothing but good, underground hip-hop from like 10 to 1 or 2am.
Next was some old school rapper 'Percee P'.
Then, this one guy 'Davinci' from 'Soliliquist of sound'. He tore shtein up! This guy had two drum machines and some sound manipulating machines and that was the dopest shtein I've heard. He was twisting sounds and coming up with some crazy ass beats...that definitely woke up the crowd.
Finally...El-P. It was as if god were stepping on stage. From when the his band came out on stage without him...til his last goodbye....that was probably the best performance I've seen. He started off with a couple of songs of his new shtein....he then threw in "Vital Nerve". (auto/matic/just for my people/auto/matic/just for my crew....). He then played a couple more songs from his album, then played "deep space 9mm"...crowd went farging nuts. Fists pumping in the air, crowd swaying left and right, up and down, heads bobbin, that shtein was hype! Then he stopped and got the crowd hyped again...and then pointed at his dj because a beat was supposed to drop...and the dj flipped off el-p because the machine broke...so El-P was just lying there on the stage and then some queen, we will rock you beat came on and he rapped 'Patriotism' to that beat. You get the idea...he finished his set with the new album....left the stage, crowd chanted 'El-P, El-P'....he came back on...did 'Tuned Mass Damper' from Fantastic Damage and finished with 'Stepfather Factory'.
His show was pure energy from the moment he stepped on, to when he left.
Dope farging show. I recommend it if he's going to be in your area. :yay
By the way,
Lyrics Born in Hollywood this Friday night at the Knitting Factory.

It would be something else to catch De La and KRS live. :yay
Next was some old school rapper 'Percee P'.
ha
percee p is a legend
He reminded me lots of KRS ONE.
Definitely into his lyrics, did a few acapellas. Not bad, not the greatest, but gave his 'spect anyways. He was carrying an album cover of Big Daddy Kane & him vs. someone that starts with a C....I can't remember.
Anyways, yeah, you could tell by his style he was from the 80's.
ive met him a bunch of times...hes always in front of the nyc fat beats sellin tapes
Ha!
When we were in line, he was selling his CD's. He asked if I wanted one, I said no thanks. Then when he got on stage, I realized that was him. Pretty cool. It's a classic story, selling your shtein on the front lines. I give him props.

El P should be opening for Percee P.
They should all be opening for Bob Dylan.
One last thing...
before El-P got on stage...his band was on...but the song 'Mad World' was playing (Gary Jules version).....pretty dope song. I can't remember where I had heard it before. Anyways, great song! :yay
After a little more research, Tears for Fears and R.E.M. have done a version. Who did the original?(Freddie, get to work).
Wikipedia: Mad World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_world)
Chuggie, Mad World was the song on the Gears of War commercial
Yeah Tears for Fears is hardcore hip-hop. Ever hear the mash-up of "Shout" and DMX's "Who We Be"?
El P should be opening for Percee P died.
yeah
Bwahahaha...I didn't even read the article, but the headline just rocks:

eric roberson and DJ Driis (AKA Stringer from the Wire) are at 930 club next thursday.
ha...stringer is a dj?...i know hes british he probably spins trip hop or some shtein like that
well i know that roberson dude is more r&b than anything so i doubt stringer's gonna be doing anything crazy.

ha...stringer is a dj?...i know hes british he probably spins trip hop or some shtein like that
so i was looking some of his stuff up and not only is he a dj, he has an EP out of him "rapping". more like singing but i didn't realize how thick his british accent is. dude does a really good job on of sounding 100% american on the wire.
yeah def...mcnulty too

ha
I don't get it...what's the funny?
Old, balding white dudes with plumber mustaches don't generally listen to teh hip hop.
Oh, now I get it. It's a stereotype joke. How droll.
white people are square
White or not white, that guy is a farging dork. Old man dork, at that.
It looks like he's signing the dorks 40-inch johnson. I'd be laughing too. At everyone else.
so i'm not a big fan of the new sean price, seems a little too poppy to me. i would compare it to the last few redman albums. can't even ttouch monkey barz in my opinion.
but i am diggin the new nas, hip hop is dead. pretty tight.
monkeys bars was very good for todays hip-hop...one of the better albums of the last several years
my boy was telling me that the new redman is very good but i am skeptical and havent gotten it yet
new devin the dude is supposed to be excellent as well but i cant find that in stores
IGY whats the name of the new Devin?
waiting to inhale
ha, weird. i got that devin on my mp3 right now too, but haven't had a chance to listen to any of it yet.
and i also heard the new redman is good.
the new redman is good, get it :yay
matty, make sure you keep up with the uploading so they dont kick you off the site. IGY, i'll look for it online and sendspace you the album if i can

i'm kinda new to torrents so i don't even really know how to create one. have used soulseek for a long time now. but this is 10x better. plus i've only done about 1.5 G so far, i don't think I have to worry about it until i get to 5G, right?
I do plan on uploading a bunch when I have time though.
that site is farging awesome, only takes like 30 sec for an entire album sometimes.
Really all i do is keep the torrents up after they are downloaded. And keep azerus active. If you get alot of the underground stuff there are only 5-10 peeps who are sharing it so you'll have alot of uploading from that. I've done one upload directly to the site: Porn Theatre Ushers CD that took me 3 times just to get it right, then i got told someone had upped it a month before.
I'm looking for the easiest way to rip cd's and up them, when i find out i'll shoot the process over to you.
thats what confuses me a little. if i upload off the site using azereus, i'll show up as a seeder on the site? how does it know? because not all people use azereus. although something is definitely happening because i've uploaded like 50MB and haven't done anything.
thats basically it, you seed. It doesnt matter what torrent program your using, it just makes sure you are seeding and you get upload credits for it. What i do sometimes Phatty is look for an new album on tuesdays that just got uploaded. Get it and basically be one of the first seeders. I was on ratio watch for a while in the beginning but i started that getto system to get my ratio where it is now.
IGY, you ever hear the 5 Deadly Venoms mixtape by Tony Touch? Matty download this thing, ridiculously great :yay

hip hop is like jazz. way too much of it to get started late in life. i've got eight or ten jazz albums I love, but I'm daunted by how much other stuff there is, so I keep paying into the much more considerable investment I've made in rock, and it continues to pay off.
how the hell a guy like me is supposed to find and appreciate crap like the above, I have no idea. It would be nice if I had the energy.
also, it bears repeating over and over again...most rap I run into is shtein. I've already honed my shtein avoidance skills with rock..so I don't have to be bothered by all the shtein rock that's out there (apologies to McLusky)...
I'm rambling, you get my drift
sounds like a fascninating tape. vigy, how about you send us all a copy and we can have a symposium on it??
Dio Pm me i'll send you a copy, or i'll just make a zip file on rapid share and post the link

how the hell a guy like me is supposed to find and appreciate crap like the above, I have no idea.
these are all valid points...theres so much classic hip-hip from the the golden age (88-92) and the boom bap era (93-96) that is out of print its almost impossible to really get into depth...exactly like jazz as you mentioned and to a lesser extent 70's soul...which i would suggest investing in if you arent a huge rap fan as 70's soul is the foundation for which most great rap comes from...and soul music doesnt contain the slang and hard for some to decipher lyrics that hip-hop does...
anyway the reason why much of what you come across is garbage is because todays hip-hop is just awful...a good guideline woukld be to not listen to any rap past 1996...especially for a "beginner"
anyway if youre even semi interested in getting into classic hip-hop heres 10 must get albums that you probably dont have (and in most cases havent ever heard of) that you should start with
1. smif and wesson - dah shinin - 1994
an amazingly produced album that contains unreal basslines on just about every track backed up by incredibly laid back dark creepy vocals about real life on the streets of brooklyn...album contains an overall vibe that probably has never been duplicated...its a wintertime album that screams timberlands hoody bubble goose and skully...great to smoke blunts to as well
prepare to run another allnighter
But keep watch for the Cops cuz they rock glocks
Comin' on the Block tryin' to rock knots
Pigs be actin' like they bigga than us stillupfront's momz from da Streets
cuz we stalk mad deep when they walk beats
I guess they hold a grudge cuz I won't budge
Playin' tough, starin' down da Judge with my hands cuffed
Standing there with my nappy hair and my dirty gear, awww yeah
Now I'm up outta here
Pigs look me up and down with a frown
Is it cuz I'm brown or is it I'm from Bucktown?
2. main source - breakin atoms - 1994
a how to guide on sampling...youll find about a half dozen samples and snippets on each song but youd never know because of how seamlessly the productions is put together by the genius that is large professor....on particular song donalds byrds "think twice" which might be his most poppish sound cut is flipped by large professor such that it ends up being a rumbling low end sounding back drop ...most hiphop producers like dr dre for example polish up and expose their sources (atomic dog for example) large professors flips his samples almost to the point that he is trying to hide them...this album also introduced nas on the legendary possee cut "live at the bbq"
Aww shtein another young brother hit
I better go over my man's crib and get the pump
Cause to the cops shootin brothers is like playin baseball
And they're never in a slump
I guess when they shoot up a crew it's a grand slam
And when it's one it's a home run
But I'ma be ready with a wild pitch
My finger got a bad twitch plus I'm on the switch
side and step up to the batter's box
farg red and white, I got on Black Sox
But let him shoot a person from the White Sox
What's the call? Foul ball!
Babe Ruth woulda made a good cop, but he didn't
Instead he was a bigot, dig it
My life is valuable and I protect it like a gem
Instead of cops gettin me I'm goin out gettin them
And let em cough up blood like phlegm
It's grim [blam blam] but dead is my antonym
And legally they can't take a fall
Yo check it out it's just a friendly game of baseball
3. casual - fear itself - 1994
an emceeing clinic...battle rhymes at their best as casual just murders this album from start to finsih over brilliant chunky beats and boomin basslines...might be the single best emceeing performance of all time if it were not for....
I write raps
And when stillupfront's momz bite I clap
'Cos their shtein sounds better now.
You done let me down
I thought it would be dope but instead
Your shtein's dead
You gets fed
To the alligators lurking in the moat
Peep what I wrote
You bit so hard I though your shtein was a quote.
4. black sheep - a wolf in sheeps clothing - 1991
black sheep were part of the native tongue colective that included de la soul and tribe...his name is dres and hes the emcee of the group and he might be the best man to ever grab a mic in the history of rap...
Now, I was told to never bite off more then I could chew
But then you better bite enough for if you don't, my boy, you're blue
Now I wonder, can others see the system that I see
Or do they see and say they blame it on society?
The days of smart enough come to over, just say thousands
And as I live and learn because there's always someone mouthing
Speaking on an issue, praise you or they diss you
Lawnge as strong, they fly by me like Scott tissue
My people, from stillupfront to negro to man or color,
killed my father and my brother so that you could rape my mother
Now you wonder, why is it through instinct you fear
Wouldn't dare me to stare, one for yourself, you're out of here
Not to worry, to harm your intention of my creed
But to stop your greed and give me what I need
Opportunity, for a life of me
And generations to come with in tranquility
Now harmony, is a total love of things
For those who are inclined or better yet like to sing
But piece of mind it is my right for the spark will ignite
'Till I can catch a cab in town at midnight
'Till I can be myself and not be thought as worse
'Till I can buy a slice from Howard Beach to the Hearse
'Till I can get the pill without fear of eject
And occupations which I seek I can have if I select
Now if I so select and reach out to make touch
How can you say that I ask for too much?
5. diamond d - stunts blunts and hip-hop - 1992
there a reason diamonds crew is called diggin in the crates as thats what he does to build this album on some awesome funk jazz and soul loops...simplistic lyrics perfectly match the beats
I use my head cause I'm one smart kid
I don't own a Rolex but I absorb beats like a Kotex
And get funky just like Joe Tex
Word, see my rhymes make your brain tick
Brothers bump my tape because it's not the same shtein
That you heard last year or the past year
I ring bells at the cashier
Because I'm a fun going guy with the notty dreadlocks
I once lost a bill betting on the Red Sox
6. nas - illmatic - 1994
you may actually have this as its well known both in and out of hip-hop circles as the quintessential hip-hop album...if you dont...get it now....as it is perfection from start to finish and at less than 45 minutes contains no filler just classic tracks...all of them....its a virtual new york city ghetto opera
The city never sleeps, full of villians and creeps
That's where I learned to do my hustle had to scuffle with freaks
I'ma addict for sneakers, twenties of buddah and bitches with beepers
In the streets I can greet ya, about blunts I teach ya
Inhale deep like the words of my breath
I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times
Nothing's equivalent, to the new york state of mind
7. x clan - to the east blackwards - 1990
with apologies to public enemy this is the best pro black album ever made...brother j a top 5 all time mc is militant and takes no prisoners over incredible g funk samples...im convinced to this day that this group from brooklyn is repsonsible for the g funk era that dr dre gets so much credit for
And you persist with legalities
I resist and rebel cause I'm reality
And while I'm boomin this, I'm not a Humanist
I'm just a pro-black stillupfront's mom and I'm doin this
And don't you try to prove, that you can make a move
Because I'm outraged devil, it's a different groove
And if you come again, this shtein'll never end
And we will fight through time through the very end
You get my point son? You get my point dad?
I'm goin back to your caves and I'm quite bad
I do a war dance, and cause a avalanche
And do the great pimp strut cause I'm a black man!
8. brand nubian - one for all - 1990
another pro black album that introduced the 5% philosphy of the nation of gods and earths...never has there been a group or album that contained three mc's that just kill shtein like grand puba sadat x and lord jamar do on this album...just an incredible masterpiece that is my favorite hip-hop album not done by a tribe called quest
Now Huey Newton was slain and we all felt the pain
of Yusef Hawkins, and they was mad but we was squakin
They tried to show a false compassion, yet at the rally
they tried to bash in our brains
Further adding to the bloodstains
I was mad at this news and so was my brothers
And I wanted to get violent but I'm a lover of black mothers
And black mothers need sons
Not children that's been killed by guns..
It's, just a-nother form of slavery, a modern day lynchin
The others get the world, the black man feels the tension
inside, not out to hide, just provides us all the answer
I will stop racial injustice if I get the chance to!
9. umc's - fruits of nature - 1991
one of the most slept on albums in hip-hop history...does not get its due as the classic that it is...two of my favorite 10 or 20 songs ever are both on thsi record the incredible "morals" and "one to grow on"...little known fact this album is where the 'wutang style' was first referenced that would later be made famous by the wu tang clan
http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/wma-pop-up/B000003HBV001001/ref=mu_sam_wma_001_001/102-5393644-0205752
10. the beatnuts - self titled (street level) - 1994
simply put the best produced album ever made...with crazy lyrics about farging drinking and smokin trees...kind of a licensed to ill with phenominal beats
You know that I know who's a friend, who's a foe
Best believe I know who's my girl, who's a hoe
It's the klepto, dropping verses while you dance
Blow! Blast you, call the ambulance
Owww, bitches all say while I'm steppin
What happened? You forgot to load your little weapon
Oh no, now you lay on the floor
While I puff indo and order a beer to go

I have 9 of those 10 albums. The beatnuts being one of my favorite.
nice post vigy. too bad you can't leave the instigating, insulting crap out of all the rest of your posts. anyway...go ahead and upload those ten albums to sendshare and I'll get them. I'll listen to rap for the next ten weeks and report back.
Also, I dig that the best shtein is on mix tapes (which aren't on tape anymore, but whatever) and the concept evades me. Who's the artist? The album that's being remixed? The artists that album samples? The guy who remixes it? None of the above? WTF??
Also also...when you've got an album by a rapper, and every track has like three guests on it, then who the hell am I listening to? I can't tell them all apart, it's like a Dostoevsky novel where every character has ten diminutives...can't keep track.
The whole thing is a jumbled mess to a hipster like me.

the best shtein isnt on mixtapes...when a mix tape is good its real good but the market is so saturated with garbage stuff that most of it sucks...the best by far are the old school kid capri and ron g blends
to answer your questions mixtapes are put together by a specific dj who gets the songs directly from artists or off their albums...normally its never remixed...its just the original song blended with other tracks or laid over a different instrumental and cut up

this is a major problem with modern day rap...way way way to many guest appearences to the popint that it ruins any cohesiveness an album could obtain...back in the day cameo appearances by artists were so looked forward to...if an album had one or two they usually stood out big time...and many albums had no guests
an equally bad problem nowadays is that every album has 10 different producers...so none of the songs sound like they belong on the same album...in the old days youd have a producer and/or a dj and then one or two mc's and they all vibed off each other...they usually all grew up together and were crew from the neighborhood...they knew what each other wanted and made a ALBUM...
in the truest sense of the word its really hard to find hip-hop "albums" these days....they all seem like compilations...shtein just thrown together quick like to move units....talkin loud and aint sayin nothing
Quote from: Diomedes on April 13, 2007, 07:41:35 AM
hip hop is like jazz. way too much of it to get started late in life. i've got eight or ten jazz albums I love, but I'm daunted by how much other stuff there is, so I keep paying into the much more considerable investment I've made in rock, and it continues to pay off.
how the hell a guy like me is supposed to find and appreciate crap like the above, I have no idea. It would be nice if I had the energy.
Good post. I think that extends to many other genres in general. For instance I have about 80 gigs worth of metal MP3's, I usually listen to new stuff every day, read articles etc and I am still constantly getting more and more music. It never ends. There is so much out there and not enough time to listen to everything. I also like JAZZ and have a handful of albums i listen too ala Charles Mingus etc. Id like to get into it deeper but there is just too much out there and I have invested all my music time to Metal just to keep up. And im still behind. YAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!
Nice post Ice GY.
I agree that the late 80's into the mid-90's was when hip-hop hit. From that point forward, late 90's to current year you have to go deeper underground to find the good shtein.
I think that one of the reasons that we're able to identify with the early hip-hop era is because there really,compared to now, weren't that many artists.

Mic, Icee GY Feel free to add to the list.
Dio(and others who may be reading)...
Another thing you start to understand when listening to these groups is which group/artist was affiliated with who before they became famous. You start seeing and understanding the roots of where alot of these groups came from. You see who produced what, who wrote for who. Did you know Jay-Z wrote one of Dr. Dre's most popular singles?
There's alot of shtein like that.
You hear mainstream, underground and everything in between. You hear how IGY likes the hip-hop with more of a 'soul' content to it. Some people like myself can listen to some of the way out there shtein like El-P.
There's so much to appreciate in hip-hop. What it does for me is it gives me a sense of nostalgia. Always a good feeling.
Start from those groups, it ain't all of them, like IGY posted, but from my viewpoint, that's some of the shtein that really hit me and kept my love for hip-hop going.
I think that one of the reasons that we're able to identify with the early hip-hop era is because there really,compared to now, weren't that many artists.
this is so true...oversaturation has really hurt it....thanks to the internet every tom dick and harry who has a computer and some garbage program like fruity loops can be a rapper or make beats
by far bar none tho the number one killer of rap music is sampling laws
hbionic, where's a tribe called quest in that list? did i miss it? shame on you!
even hipsters like dio are aware of tribe
Tribe is right after Jungle Brothers and De La. Under the 80's era.
Blind fargs.
tribe didnt do a single thing in the 80's...perhaps that confused mussa

QuotePLATINUM SELLING RAPPER TELLS '60 MINUTES': WOULDN'T HELP POLICE CATCH EVEN A SERIAL KILLER BECAUSE IT WOULD HURT HIS BUSINESS AND VIOLATE HIS 'CODE OF ETHICS'
Thu Apr 19 2007 12:47:1 ET
Rap star Cam'ron says there's no situation -- including a serial killer living next door -- that would cause him to help police in any way, because to do so would hurt his music sales and violate his "code of ethics." Cam'ron, whose real name is Cameron Giles, talks to Anderson Cooper for a report on how the hip-hop culture's message to shun the police has undermined efforts to solve murders across the country. Cooper's report will be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday, April 22 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
"If I knew the serial killer was living next door to me?" Giles responds to a hypothetical question posed by Cooper. "I wouldn't call and tell anybody on him -- but I'd probably move," says Giles. "But I'm not going to call and be like, ÔThe serial killer's in 4E.' " ( For an excerpt of Giles' interview, click here
Giles' "code of ethics" also extends to crimes committed against him. After being shot and wounded by gunmen, Giles refused to cooperate with police. Why? "Because...it would definitely hurt my business, and the way I was raised, I just don't do that," says Giles. Pressed by Cooper, who says had he been the victim, he would want his attacker to be caught, Giles explains further: "But then again, you're not going to be on the stage tonight in the middle of, say, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, with people with gold and platinum teeth and dreadlocks jumping up and down singing your songs, either," says Giles. "We're in two different lines of business."
"So for you, it's really about business?" Cooper asks.
"It's about business," Giles says, "but it's still also a code of ethics."
Rappers appear to be concerned about damaging what's known as their "street credibility," says Geoffrey Canada, an anti-violence advocate and educator from New York City's Harlem neighborhood. "It's one of those things that sells music and no one really quite understands why," says Canada. Their fans look up to artists if they come from the "meanest streets of the urban ghetto," he tells Cooper. For that reason, Canada says, they do not cooperate with the police.
Canada says in the poor New York City neighborhood he grew up in, only the criminals didn't talk to the police, but within today's hip-hop culture, that's changed. "It is now a cultural norm that is being preached in poor communities....It's like you can't be a black person if you have a set of values that say ÔI will not watch a crime happen in my community without getting involved to stop it,'" Canada tells Cooper.
Young people from some of New York's toughest neighborhoods echo Canada's assessment, calling the message not to help police "the rules" and helping the police "a crime" in their neighborhoods. These "rules" are contributing to a much lower percentage of arrests in homicide cases -- a statistic known as the "clearance rate" -- in largely poor, minority neighborhoods throughout the country, according to Prof. David Kennedy of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. "I work in communities where the clearance rate for homicides has gone into the single digits," says Kennedy. The national rate for homicide clearance is 60 percent. "In these neighborhoods, we are on the verge of -- or maybe we have already lost -- the rule of law," he tells Cooper.
Says Canada, "It's like we're saying to the criminals, ÔYou can have our community....Do anything you want and we will either deal with it ourselves or we'll simply ignore it.' "
There are stupid mother fargers in our society. And then...there's fargs.
One of the reasons Hip-Hop is not what it used to be.
This farging 'street cred' bullshtein is for idiots.
People who base their like for music or anything for that matter on 'street cred' are fargers I want to stay away from probably in the first place.
It's sad that this is true. I'm one advocate of Hip-Hop...but just because "Cam'ron" talks about emptying his clip on someone, doesn't make him a bad ass. He's no gangsta rapper. He's a big, wanna farging Hoyda.
This shtein is sickening.
classic ish

on the one hand, you can't trust the cops...especially not if you're black. so I don't get too upset when these cats say they won't talk.
on the other hand...Angela Dawson

How did he get himself patched up without medical attention?
i dont recall all the facts right now but he went to a hospital...it may have been the next day or later that night in NY...it may have been in DC but he went there on his own...
i didnt mean to say he didnt go to a hospital he just didnt accept the help from police....didnt want them to call an ambulance ect...he got back in his car at the scene and rolled
obviously, he weren't hurt real bad
still, hard. I like this cat.
he was shot twice....arm shoulder or something like that...but no he didnt take one to the chest or head

btw, this Principal needs to stop using "conversate" in his formal speech. it's one thing to use ghetto slang in the ghetto, quite another when your representing your school on national television. This dude's kids need to be able to speak proper English when the circumstance requires...Mr. Principal needs to set the example.
He's just keepin' it rizzeal, Dio.

2. Post Mortem - Jean Grae
Cam'rom is an author and a reporter, just ask him :-D
He also said you have to have parents to be in school. And they need to have more parent teacher conference's, cause where I work only about half of the parents/guardians show up for conferences. :-D

im not normally down with your nerd rap hb but this song is the truth....came out in 96 tho....before the downhicks from alberta tried to take over "underground" hip-hop

I don't get it. Elaborate. Por favor.
in the late 90's the downhick movement led by anticon sole buck65 el p and all those losers from maine and minnesota and canada tried to tell everyone that they were "real" hip-hop...and every one else was disagracing the art...when in fact all those cats were the worst thing that has ever existed in rap...
yes worse than vanilla ice...worse than the jigaboo shtein of today...worse than rappin rodney even
I hate to keep beating on a dead horse, but it's hard to ignore the door that Company Flow opened up. I certainly considered them underground.
Now, all of these other 1-timers that haven't really made an impact, we'll...they really haven't done shtein.
Just because they 'hang' with a crew or open for them...doesn't mean they're any good.
The whole El-P sound to me is like a different branch of hip-hop, kind of abstract art, like wearing a purple shirt farging shirt, not the most popular, but it can be done.
_______________
I do agree, alot of artists think they can just put shtein on wax and its automatically dope.
i like a lot of nerd rap. blackalicious, aesop rock, kool keith, jurrasic 5 (although i don't consider them nerd rap, they have the best party music of all time).
i'm still wu-tang inside though.
blackalicious - their debut ep was actually pretty dope...then they got sucked into the downhick black hole and became a disgrace
aesop rock - his wackness is beyond description....the poster boy for nerd rap..ill literally fight someone over this guy
kool keith - definitely got sucked into the nerd rap vaccum...but he did so to strictly make money off white college kids that hung on his nuts because he was "different"....i wont hate tho as kk was a member of one of the all time great hip-hop bands in ultra magnetic mc's and to this day remains a pioneer
jurrasic 5 - definitely not nerd rap....became so because they were able to be real hip-hop and at the same time cater themselves to the dave matthews tattered visor college crowd...hate the game not the playa

kool keith - definitely got sucked into the nerd rap vaccum...but he did so to strictly make money off white college kids that hung on his nuts because he was "different"....i wont hate tho as kk was a member of one of the all time great hip-hop bands in ultra magnetic mc's and to this day remains a pioneer
jurrasic 5 - definitely not nerd rap....became so because they were able to be real hip-hop and at the same time cater themselves to the dave matthews tattered visor college crowd...hate the game not the playa
thats a pretty spot on response. i'll actually agree with almost all of that. i'm not saying i'm a big aesop rock fan, but he doesn't make me angry like he does you and a few other people i know.
kool keith is more for the funny factor than anything. he's so retarded most of the time it's awesome.
i still dig most of blackalicious stuff. but you can see the transformation.
and j-5 is one of my top 2-3 groups of all time. but you are right. i've seen them probably about 7-8 times now. every one of their shows is disgustingly fun. but the crowd has definitely changed over the years. the most recent one i saw was one of the worst crowds ever. 90% was the seashell necklace dudes you like so much. wearing ripped up red sox hats and pocket khaki shorts. but i can't blame j-5 for that. they haven't really changed. i'll still go see them whenever i can.
you cant hate j5..they keep it real...they respect the pioneers of hip-hop and keep it real with out being self absorbed and trying to tell everyone how great they are
their original ep that came out in 97 is a straight up classic...i almost wished they retired after that...even tho i really liked qc
I think the term 'nerd rap' is hucking filarious.
I don't really care for blackalicious sound.
I'm a 'beat first, lyrics second' kind of hip-hop fan.
Kool Keith, he aigh't, I do like his zany out of this world Dr. Octagon shtein, but I wouldn't miss him if he died.
Aesop rock- Don't like how he sounds and don't really care for him. He's in the Def Jux group, but I don't really give a farg.
J-5 is farging dope. They can freestyle, have their own sound and perform. You just can't hate J-5. I was lucky to catch one of their shows out here. Dope!
_____________________________
I was going to type some other shtein, but I'm too tired to think about it.
One group that everyone....EVERY fargING ONE, loves to overlook as 'pioneers' are the Beastie Boys. Their impact was huge. Everyone knew them. Everyone farging KNOWS them. Yet, even me, when compiling a list of some of the most influential artists of the 80's and 90's, they get shoved under the carpet. It's a weird phenomenon. I think I read something about that about them somewhere about that.
thing with the beasties is their rap catalog wasnt that extensive...they had a party album that was huge at the time in terms of sales and mainstream popularity but wasnt hugely respected within the hip-hop community...then they had an album that was the exact opposite...a hip-hop classic that is beloved by every important hip-hop head thats ever lived but didnt sell records at all
after pauls boutique they realized if they wanted to get mainstream appeal and move units they had to change their style up and that style was to go alternative...
this took them out of the hip-hop community forever...so what you end up with is two true hip-hop albums...and only one of them can be considered a great album...so what you have is a widely repsected musical group but not a group that will be mentioned with the hip-hop greats of all time even tho you wont hear a bad word spoken about them even from the hard corest of hip-hop critics

Two recommended downloads:
1. Madness in a cup- Mr. Lif
2. Post Mortem - Jean Grae
Post Mortem is actually the last track on Mr. Lif's
I Phantom. Jean Grae has the best verse though.
Ultramagnetic should be on that list of important golden age groups.
Anyone got anyting to say about the Blue Scholars? I like them.
IGY you talking about Swollen Members as the downhicks from alberta?

I'm the exact opposite. If the lyrics suck, the song is ruined no matter how good the beat is. Just about every single verse of Crunchy Black's suck. I dont understand how people can stand the newer Lil Wayne, he has some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard. He was good in about 2001, but he is absolutely
awful now.
Agreed on Jurassic 5. They're really good. Since I was thinking about them I looked up a few of their other songs, Tech N9ne and Jurassic 5 made a song together. Sick.
IGY you talking about Swollen Members as the downhicks from alberta?
i wasnt talking about anyone in particular...swollen members is from vancouver i believe...they actually had some really good 12 inches in the underground golden age of the mid to late 90's
front street
consumption
strength
s&m on the rocks
my advice
they had a whos who of guests on both production and rhymes
del...evidence...alchemist...everlast...aceyalone
that was some good shtein....then their album came out
moka only is a good example of a downhick canadian piece of garbage
:-D

krs one's next album, "hip hop lives" drops may 22....produced by marly marl, believe it or not. :yay

"Whats a matter with your DJ Mc Shan, On the wheels of steel Marl it sucks"
I always liked Marl, the symphony was sick. If KRS sticks to the basics and Marl comes off this one could be really dope. Yeah I'm old and I'm Audi 5000 G
marley is rendered obsolete with the sampling laws that are in place now...unless hes learned how to chop beats ala primo or pete rock this album has no prayer....straight loops dont exists anymore
here's a taste:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLKLET5dZSE&mode=related&search=
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61DFYf9goeY&mode=related&search=
nas' "where are they now" remix, featuring some old skool favorites...igy, your boy dres from black sheep is on this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKDN4yrpVrA
ive heard those krs tracks and the single that was released....all computer/keyboard beats.....not wack but not marley marl
nas' "where are they now" remix, featuring some of your old favorites...igy, your boy dres from black sheep is on this.
yeah i have the 12 inch....dope song...not just because the lineup rips it but the bdk (marley marl) guitar loop is used
i'll definitely pick up the album but yeah, the anti sampling laws hurt a lot of hip hop artists big time.
so i gave the new nas, hip hop is dead, like 5 chances before deciding that it actually isn't that good. jay-z does a whole rack on it, which kinda pisses me off. and it's a little generic and corny.
there's this mix tape dude called march 9, named after the day biggie died, and he just did a whole new biggie remix album, and it's pretty fargin good. it's hard to mess up a biggie mix tape, i know, his lyrics sound pretty good over any kind of beats, but this has some really really good shtein on it. lots of early 90s background beats, mad lion's take it easy (one of my top 5 songs ever), brand nubian, etc.
trying to figure out whether i like the ep from eminem's new dude cashis, but haven't heard enough yet. kinda sounds exactly like eminems other dude proof.
Has anyone else heard the Mobb Deep/50 Cent song Angel or Angels? Anyone know what mixtape or album its on?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu-Tang_Clan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu-Tang_Clan)
QuoteThe Clan strikes back
In December 2006, Wu-Tang Clan signed a one-album deal with Steve Rifkind's SRC Records.[18] The group's four previous albums were all released on Rifkind's now-defunct Loud Records. The album's title will be 8 Diagrams and is slated for release summer 2007.[19]
RZA announced January 2007 that he will be releasing another Bobby Digital album this summer as well, which he has already begun work on. He will be using the album primarily to put over lesser-known Wu-Tang Clan affiliates such as Freemurder, Killa Sin and a myriad of others depending on who makes the final cut. The album is tenatively titled DigiSnacks.[20]
GZA will be releasing a tell-all DVD featuring footage of the Clan dating back to the ninties, titled Wu Tang Revealed,[21] as well as his 6th album entitled 'More Words From The Genius' which will be released on babygrande records.
[edit] Controversy
[edit] The FBI
John Gotti, "The Dapper Don"The Wu Tang Clan and their associates are being investigated by the FBI for weapon trafficking in Staten Island and their relationship with the Gambino crime family. RZA admitted to being friends with several members of the Gambinos in The Wu-Tang Manual, both before and after his rise to fame.
In 2000 the Village Voice ran a story about the FBI infiltrating the Wu Tang Clan through a criminal-turned-informant named Michael Caruso who got a job as the personal manager for Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna. Several other members of the group did not like Caruso, however his ties with Ghostface and Cappadonna got him into the inner circles of the Wu. [22]
Due to Caruso's criminal past he was prohibited by law to associate with felons (which many members of the Clan are) or leave the state of New York, however these restrictions were lifted in return for providing information on the group. The federal government turned their head and allowed Caruso to tour around the country with Wu-Tang as long as he was kicking back info on their involvement in gunrunning and the Gambino crime family.[23]
Caruso was subsequently fired from all duties regarding The Wu Tang Clan's business when these allegations came to light. RZA forced Cappadonna to fire him as his manager, however Caruso still works with Ghostface and is on his new poker team.[24]
The report rules out the majority of Wu Tang affiliated performers and focuses on those running the business aspect of the Wu empire, Oli "Power" Grant and Mitchell "Divine" Diggs (RZA's brother) and The RZA himself.
The issue was recently resurfaced by FOX News in mid-2007 after RZA attended one of Hilary Clinton's parties and donated money to her 2008 campaign. FOX News criticized the fact that Clinton took money from The RZA, claiming it was contradictory due to RZA's felony record, FBI investigation, ties to the Gambino family and his music lyrics. [25]
I met Percee P today. He was pounding the pavement outside of 'Fatbeats' in L.A. I told him I saw him live in March. Anyways, I gave him a pound, no I mean I shook his hand.
IGY, whats your take on The Dwellas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dwellas) I just found them on Pandora, Which album should i get?
as in ghetto dweller?
look at the Wiki Dio...
Also i picked up Swollen Members Bad Dreams album. The track Deep End has a familar beat but i cant place it.
they are pretty good...only album worth getting is their debut realms and reality
has that classic early to mid 90's jazzy boom bap sound...the rhymes are ok but dont measure up to the beats....to give you a sense of what they are like i would call them a poor mans lost boyz
their best song is with masta ace called 4 da mind...its on aces sittin on chrome album
as in ghetto dweller?
their actually name is the cella dwellas....the celler being a literal and figurative place where hip-hop artists made their music since many of them could never get studio time...particularly back when hip-hop was in its infancy
pete rock had a classic song called 'the basement' which speaks upon this
the krs-one/marly marl album is.....meh.

Ah man, I come back is hot, so is the joint with Black Poet and Premier. There are some good beats #4 where were you, the line at the end "have your a$$ lookin like Jesus from the passion" was sweet, and the line in #2 I come back "Just like the crack want Whitney you still try to get me" was cold too. Overall I thought it was a good album the bass in Where were you is just sick.
ear drum is sick. usually i have to listen 2-3 times to really hear a album and like it but wow this is awesome.

Gotta back up IGY this, i bought the dudes CD at the game. Tight beats, good rhyming, much better than i was thinking it would be. If you like Aesop Rock, EL P, Company Flow type shtein then you'll really like this album. Plus when one of your rhymes is: "Act like a bitch on the mic like Dei Lynam" you know its good
check out:

Find the one with 'eyedea, MC juice & slug'.
Juice tears it up.
Bonus, if anyone knows that beat that juice flowed on, the third one, the one after 'flava in ya ear'. That's some tight shtein!
Thanks.

i despise slug and eyedea and would blow torch my ear canals before i ever listened to one of their songs
I don't think it's any of their songs, its just beats that the DJ is playing as they freestyle.
Just listen to it and let me know if you know it (when Juice is freestyling, 3rd track). Beats are like drugs to me, I need to know what its called, I'll go crazy if I don't!
thats a song called da wiggy by ogc

IGY, I'm not doubting your hip-hop wisdom, but it doesn't sound like 'Da Wiggy'. Unless you're talking about a remix?

The Dirty Heartbeat of the Golden Age
Reminiscing on the SP-1200, the machine that defined New York hip-hop
by Ben Detrick
In the summer of 1987, E-mu Systems released the SP-1200, a drum machine and sampler designed for dance-music producers. An update of a previous model known as the SP-12, the souped-up edition allowed for the recording and manipulation of a 10.07-second sample with gritty 12-bit sound quality—now you could craft a complete instrumental on one portable machine.
Just as the Stradivarius or the Fender Stratocaster were standard-bearers by which other instruments were judged, the SP-1200 quickly became the tool of choice for East Coast beat-makers during rap's so-called "Golden Age," a period during the late '80s and early '90s, when sampling laws were still being meted out in courtrooms. Such artists as Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys, Gang Starr, Main Source, and the Notorious B.I.G. created classic joints over beats concocted on the SP-1200. The machine rose to such prominence that its strengths and weaknesses sculpted an entire era of music: The crunchy digitized drums, choppy segmented samples, and murky filtered basslines that characterize the vintage New York sound are all mechanisms of the machine.
Long ago toppled by more powerful equipment and computer-based production programs, the sampler continues to inspire enough cultish devotion that any prospective knob-twister still must shell out around $1,000 to go retro. We spoke with several of hip-hop's must celebrated veteran producers about their experiences with the SP-1200 over the last 20 years.
The Learning Curve
Pete Rock: When I first got the SP-1200—I think that was back in '87—I was going to sessions with my cousin Heavy D, and he was working with Marley Marl. I would just be looking around and looking at the stuff they had and looking at what he was doing. Eddie F had the drum machine, and he showed me how to work it. I basically studied the manual—read it beginning to end and learned it like that. I used it all day, every day. I never came outside—just woke up happy to have a piece of machinery that made music. I didn't give a damn about anything else once I got that drum machine.
Ski : The strength of the SP was definitely the way the 12-bit sounded when you threw the sample or the snare or the kick in there—it just sounded so dirty. It was a definite, definite farging plus with the machine. The limited sampling time made you become more creative. That's how a lot of producers learned how to chop the samples: We didn't have no time, so we had to figure out ways to stretch the sounds and make it all mesh together. We basically made musical collages just by chopping little bits and notes.
Hank Shocklee : There's little tricks that were developed on it. For example, you got 12 seconds [10.07, according to the manufacturer] of sample time to divide amongst eight pads. So depending on how much you use on each pad, you decrease the amount of sample time that you have. You take a 33 1/3 record and play it on 45, and you cheat the system. [Another] aspect that we created is out of a mistake—one day I was playing "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" and it came out real muffled. I couldn't hear any of the high-end part of it. I found out that if you put the phono or quarter-inch jack halfway in, it filters the high frequency. Now I just got the bass part of the sample. I was like, "Oh, shtein, this is the craziest thing on the planet!"
The Machine and the Masters
Lord Finesse: They had me as a special guest on Stretch and Bobbito, one of the popular radio shows of the '90s. I thought it would be slick if I brought my 1200 down. A lot of producers did total beats with their 1200, and I think I did two or three, and one specifically was when I chopped up Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." I chopped all around his voice using the 1200 and put an instrumental in the back. I played it over the air, and me and KRS-One freestyled over it. It was real slick.
Ski : People said they never saw anyone work the SP as fast as me and Large Professor— not that it means anything. It's crazy. I can't explain it—it's like the shtein is programmed in my brain. I worked with Jay-Z and did all of Reasonable Doubt on the SP-1200. For "Dead Presidents," everything was made on the SP, man: the whole sequence, the drum sounds, the Nas sample. The only thing that wasn't done on the SP was the sample, [but] I ran it through it to give it that sound.
Pete Rock : Everything that you ever heard from me back in the day was the SP-1200. That machine made "Reminisce" ["They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)"], "Straighten It Out," "Shut 'Em Down," "Jump Around." When I made "Reminisce"—I had friend of mine that passed away, and it was a shock to the community. I was kind of depressed when I made it. And to this day, I can't believe I made it through, the way I was feeling. I guess it was for my boy. When I found the record by Tom Scott, basically I just heard something incredible that touched me and made me cry. It had such a beautiful bassline, and I started with that first. I found some other sounds and then heard some sax in there and used that. Next thing you know, I have a beautiful beat made. When I mixed the song down, I had Charlie Brown from Leaders of the New School in the session with me, and we all just started crying.
An End of an Era
Pete Rock: I used the MPC [a technologically superior sampler line first introduced in 1988] on Soul Survivor II. That was kind of the beginning of using it. I thought it had a thinner sound than the SP, but it had way more sample time—like three minutes. So, can't beat that. I got hundreds of beats on the SP-1200, but I like the MPC. I'm really starting to get in the midst of it now.
Hank Shocklee : They've mastered the computer to the point it does things the SP-1200 can't do. [But] we would have better records today if people said, "Look, you've got five hours to make a record." The problem is that people got all day. They got all week. They got all month. They got all year. So thus, you in there second-guessing yourself. With the 1200, you can't second-guess yourself, man. You got 2.5 seconds a pad, man. . . . Till this day, nobody has understood and created a machine that can best it.
Great read IGY! :yay
It was refreshing to read that. I could be in the shteintiest mood (right now as people post about how great the patriots are)....but its puts that smile back into my soul. I love that shtein.
Thanks.
I'm listening to songs from Ice Cube's Death Certificate...has to be top 5 albums of all time.
'I want to kill sam 'cause he ain't my motherfarging uncle'.
Fresh out of school cause I was a high school grad
gots to get a job cuz I was a high school dad
Wish I got paid like I was rappin' to the nation
but thats not likely, so here's my application
Pass it to the man at AT&T
Cuz when I was in school I got the a. e. e.
But there's no SC for this youngsta
I didn't have no money so now I have to hunch the
Back like a slave, thats what be happenin
but whitey says there's no room for the African
Always knew that I would clock g's
but welcome to McDonalds can I take your order please
Gotta sell ya food that might give you cancer
cuz my baby doesn't take no for an answer
Now I pay taxes that you never give me back
what about diapers, bottles, and similac
Do I gotta go sell me a whole lotta crack
for decent shelter and clothes on my back?
Or should I just wait for help from Bush
or Jesse Jackson, and operation Push
If you ask me the whole thing needs a douche
a masengel what the hell cracker sale in the neighborhood
To the whorehouse bitches,
Miss parker, little joe or Todd Bridges
Or anybody that he know
so I got me a bird, better known as a kilo
Now everybody know I went from po' to a *igga that got dough
So now you put the feds against me
cause I couldn't follow the plan of the presidency
I'm never givin' love again
Cuz blacks are too fargin broke to be republican
Now I remember I used to be cool
till I stopped fillin' out my W-2
Now senators are gettin' hired
and your plan against the ghetto backfired
So now you got a pep talk
but sorry, this is our only room to walk
Cause we don't want a drug push
But a bird in the hand is worth more than a bush
Ice Cube- Color Blind
Ice Cube- Summer Vacation
Ice Cube- Steady Mobbin
Ice Cube- Horny Lil Devil
Ice Cube- No Vaseline
Ice Cube- A bird in the hand
Ice Cube- Doing Dumbshtein
Ice Cube- I wanna kill sam
Ice Cube- Givin up the nappy dugout
Ice Cube- Man's best friend
...among some of the titles on the album. I think I might pick the album up on ebay if I could find it.
how do you not have that album
I had the album when it came out...on tape.
I think I may have had the cd....but I may have gotten stolen or I may have lost it or scratched it or broke it.
All I know is that it will now permanently occupy one of the 6 slots on the car's cd changer.
Permanent Spot 1- Tribe Called Quest- Low End Theory
Permanent Spot 2- (will be Ice Cube- Death Certificate)
Spot 3-6 will be up for consideration
gangstarr - step into the arena
nas - illmatic
beatnuts - street level
youre welcome
vigy suggested only three thru five, so let me suggest as your sixth:
either Beastie Boys -- Paul's Boutique or De La Souls' Three Feet High and Rising
ya
ha i realized that after i did it...in my head i did 6-3 = 3....wow
pauls boutique is a nice choice but 3 feet high and rising doesnt even make de la souls top three
oh? I should go to the library I suppose
I like Nas, but not enough to consider Illmatic.
I'm a beats first kind of guy...and although the album has classics...it doesn't make the cut in my own top 10.
I like step in the arena. It has the feeling of what early New York hip-hop was. It has that scratchy, sound to it that puts you back in the last 80's.
Step in the arena
Who's gonna take the weight (sick ass sound)
Just to get a rep.
Those are the best on that album.
I'm not sold on the Beatnuts. Again their beats are off and on.
I think my favorite beatnuts beat is (I'm not even sure what the song is called)...'Are you ready?' ? I think that's it.
I'll have to listen to the album to consider it.
Dio, De La Soul is timeless. Weird but I haven't heard all of De La Soul's songs before. Isn't that crazy?
Beastie Boys are always classic. Pauls Boutique is one of the greatest pieces of art out there. Mid -80's, dope beats, timeless, it's a consideration...but for some reason...they get old. I have to be in the mood for beasties.
Cypress Hill's debut album is a consideration. I was a huge Cypress Hill fan and although their sound is old....something about being able to sing every song, knowing every word that makes me consider them. I used to do a good B-Real too (but, who didn't).
altho its not my favorite album illmatic is definitely the best album ever made...perhaps of any genre...the beats are off the charts good on the whole thing...pete rock - q-tip - primo - large professor all in their prime on one album...a producer lineup of that caliber has never appeared together on one record and never will again
and ive heard people say they arent big beatnuts fan but ive never heard anyone say their beats were the problem...strange that you dont like them hb...street level is arguably the best produced album ever
step into the arena came out in the spring of 1990 and along with peoples instinctive travels to me defines the beginning of the 90's boom bap era...its one of the few perfect hip-hop albums
de la soul in order
1. de la soul is dead - A++
2. stakes is high - A
3. buhloon mindstate - A-
4. 3 feet high - C+

Old School Legend, The 45 King, Teaches Producer Stans How To Make A Beat
Bronx native the 45 King has enjoyed a career as a hip-hop DJ and producer that spans over two decades. With classic contributions like Eminem's "Stan" and Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life" under his belt the 45 King shared with SOHH some simple guidelines for fans interested in making their own beats.
1. Go Digging
Visit Record Stores, the Salvation Army, record conventions, that's how I used to look but now I have a lot of records so I don't need to look anymore. More than likely I didn't listen right when I got home, or maybe I did, I don't remember. Either way, once you find something you like you make it up for now or you make it up for later. I found "Hard Knock Life" (from the Broadway Musical Annie) in the Salvation Army. I made the drums, I put the bassline over it, I sampled the record. [Watch the "Hard Knock Life" video here]
2. Less is More
With [Queen Latifah's] "Ladies First" there was a King Errisson sample in it. King Errisson drums and somebody played the bassline for me and from the bassline I came up with the hook and Latifah did the rhyming. And some horns. That was about it. If anything I underproduce, I don't overproduce. [listen to "Ladies First" here]
3. Sometimes It's Just Luck
When I made "Stan," I was watching television, doing bills and the song ("Thank You" by Dido) was on the coming attraction of a movie - it's in the end of a movie I believe and they were advertising. It was in a loop, so the ad kept coming on because it was the cable directory guide and that's how I heard the song and I taped it the third time around. That's how I found the sample, I looped it off the VHS and made the record. Actually, I didn't know who it was until we sold the record. [Watch the video for "Stan" here]
4. Do What You Know
"This Cuts Got Flavor" - Latee
The sample on that is [The] Fatback Band and I just used a guitar riff. I added a bassline and had a good rapper and drums, "You Better Think" by Lynn Collins drums. Nothing really made me use those drums, they were just the drums I decided to use. I got both samples from records I had in my collection. [listen to "This Cut's Got Flavor" here]
5. There Are No Rules
With "The 900 Number," [also used by DJ Kool for the classic party record "Let Me Clear My Throat"] Aaron Fuchs gave me a handful of records and one of those records was Marva Whitney's record "Unwind Yourself." I took the tenor sax riff from the beginning of Marva Whitney's record. I said let me put a drum under the sax and slow it down. That was about it. There isn't a right or wrong way to make a beat. I just do what I like. I'm so blessed people like the same things I like because that's what I basically try to do. [listen to "The 900 Number" here]
The Come Up
I started deejaying... in, I would say the 9th grade. First I was deejaying as DJ Mark, by the time I started making music it was DJ Mark the 45 King, then DJ Red Alert said why don't you make it the 45 King?
My name came...from me deejaying with the 45 rpm records. I wasn't scared to use them and they were easier to get. They were cheaper. It wasn't easier but I had no problems using those records. A lot of other DJ's would rather have albums.
What helped launch my career was ... I made a record called "Just Beats," it was a breakbeat album and I had a lot of breaks, a lot of different beats on there and Red Alert started playing it a lot in his shows. Red Alert put me on, he played more stuff and more stuff and people just assumed 'hey make a record with Mark, Red will play it."

wow, that is great, never saw it before.
you hear 8 diagrams yet? any good?
Its better than Iron Flag was.
not much of an endorsement.
it sucks
then again i havent like any wu tang albums since forever and even that was overrated imo
There is always those songs that you listened to over and over back in the day and even now. My song has to be by far Affirmative Action by The Firm (NAS). Song is ridiculous
Phatty, your better off with the new Ghostface- The Big Doe Rehab
i'm diggin big doe rehab.
8 diagrams is garbage. awful. i gave it two runs and i'm not sure i like a single track. very disappointing.
also listening to the pre-king mathers lp. good stuff. nail the coffin, the track where's he's killin benzino, is ridiculous. i know that whole beef is way old, but i never heard it before.
on another note, my home laptop recently crapped out and i had to buy a new hard drive for it. but i lost all my bookmarks. i had a shteinload of hip hop blogs/websites on there but i don't know what any of them were. any of you guys know any good ones?

did you hear about his hissy fit over a picture of him and puffy being posted on internet message boards...hilarious
naw...what happened?
I heard that he had taken a picture with puffy as a joke. That puffy thought it was some fans wanting to take a pic...but he felt the picture was ironic in that he's taking a picture with puffy. I think because of musical ideologies.
no he took it with puffy for real...then had a fit when people started posting it online and threatened to sue...all because his gay little fans from montana dont like stillupfront rap

lyrically his best work. if only the beats did not make the ear bleed. he needs to re master it or get dre to provide him with some new beats for those verses. difference between that eminem and todays eminem is night and day. sad when artists lose all their ability to write once they make it big.

yo raps grand finale freestyle...classic material - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sazUx0HfbU8
According to an entry on MTV's Sucker Free Blog, the station is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its historical show Yo! MTV Raps by bringing it back for the month of April.
Airing both on the TV station and online, the show will offer rare photos of artists, playlists of old school videos, interviews with hosts Fab 5 Freddy, Ed Lover and Doctor Dre, and other classic clips.
When it first aired in 1988, Yo! MTV Raps was the station's first Hip-Hop music show. Though its season finale was on Aug. 17, 1995, the show is historically acclaimed for its effect on hip-hop and pop culture, and has lived on via T-shirts, a Puma sneaker series, in-song references by artists such as Ice Cube and Juelz Santana, and other avenues.
Sweeeeeeeeeet link Igy. The god Rakim, Blastmaster, Sermon, The Chub Rock, Search was eh, way to prepare a "freestyle" buddy and who the hell put Special Ed on? ONE HIT WONDER :boom. I have bad feeling about this. I envision, Tone Loc, and Special Ed. Let Dr. Dre and Ed Lover do the whole show old school style.

Went to see Camp Lo at the knitting factory.
The show started at 8pm...so like the dumbass that I am, I get there on time. HUGE MISTAKE! I usually don't go to shows but I should have known that the headliner wasn't going to appear until later.
Get there at 8pm, me and two other heads go, we're like the 4th, 5th and 6th people there. It was another half hour before anyone took the mic.
From that point forward, it was about 4 and a half hours of zesty ass shtein fargs performing their music. Only one group was bearable. Maybe not under normal circumstances but I think I was just tired and delirious for almost standing for a straight 5 hours. Just when you thought Camp Lo was coming on, some other douchy group came on. It was like a nightmare. The worst part is that it seemed that half of the performers were wannabe gangster rap, the other were real sucky rap. Holy shtein. What a piece of shtein that was. Camp Lo finally came on at around 12:30am and for being inconsiderate iceholes for coming on too late...at least they made their performance quick. They played 2/3'ds of every song and finished in about 25 minutes. I wanted to get the farg out of that place. Yeah, the tickets were 9 bucks each...I think I would have been better off buying their CD and dancing on it at home.

Your definition of "emo" is extremely wrong when compared to the music world's definition of emo.
And a rap song with a message is dead when it comes to pop-culture anymore...Kanye breaks through a little bit, but mostly pop culture doesn't want it's rap to come with messages anymore....and if a message isn't reaching the people, then it's useless.
"Mainstream" rap back in the day was about the message...not about all the crap that today's mainstream rap talks about.

QuoteOuting Hip-Hop
In a new memoir, a former MTV staffer dishes on the rap industry's persistent "down-low" culture. He doesn't name names, but it's a fascinating peek inside hip-hop's last taboo.
Jessica Bennett
Newsweek Web Exclusive
Updated: 12:11 PM ET May 19, 2008
In a hooded sweatshirt and baggy jeans, Terrance Dean doesn't give off "gay" on first sight—and he has worked hard to present himself that way. In a downtown coffee shop in Manhattan, the former MTV staffer describes the lengths he's gone to over the years to achieve that body aesthetic: he shungry hungry hippos, never saunters. He dresses well, but not too well. He doesn't wear flashy jewelry and substitutes "she" for "he" when he tells colleagues about his weekend plans. Even now that he's out of the closet, he sometimes forgets. When somebody asked if he was gay recently, he blurted out "no" without even thinking.
But Dean is going to have a hard time fooling anyone much longer. His new book, "Hiding in Hip-Hop: On the Down Low in the Entertainment Industry," is a tale of life inside Hollywood's secret gay subculture, and hip-hop's place within that world. Though it doesn't name names, the memoir is a detailed (and graphic) account of down-low life, gay sex parties and secret societies, where some of hip-hop's major artists openly sleep with men, only to go home to their wives and girlfriends at night's end. (A person who is "down low" considers himself straight but regularly sleeps with members of the same sex; the term is frequently used when describing black men.) And though Dean's intention was never to out anybody, he provides just enough information for readers to go crazy searching Google. There's a New York R&B singer who often opened for Jay-Z, caught the ears of Death Row Records and has worked on Broadway. A member of a rap group that changed hip-hop with its "philosophical rhymes over hard-core beats" who then went solo to achieve chart-topping success, eventually landing the lead in a movie. (He's also married.) "Men who have secret love affairs have separate homes and apartments, and separate phones strictly for their romantic flings," writes Dean. "No one ever suspects a thing, and they go to great lengths to keep it that way."
Except, of course, that everybody inside the industry is well aware of that fact, which is probably Dean's most surprising revelation. Sure, there's always a story kicking around about homosexuality and the music industry; rumors have swirled around rappers since the '70s and '80s. But according to Dean, and a number of other industry insiders, who's gay and who's straight (or rather, who is "down low"; DL brothers don't identify as "gay") is common knowledge. So common, in fact, that one hip-hop radio personality says he discussed it with his Los Angeles barber last week. "I can't sit here and say this is secret, because a lot of times I see things firsthand," says Charlamagne Tha God (real name Lenard McKelvey), who is the cohost of the Wendy Williams show on New York's WBLS. "To be honest, it might be the industry's worst kept secret."
That doesn't mean it's not taboo. Hip-hop has a long history of homophobia, much of which is tied up with the powerful black church. ("I remember the pastor at my church saying 'Homosexuality is a sin!' and pounding his fist on the table," Dean recalls.) As one of the most visible voices of black culture, hip-hop has adopted those beliefs—and, in doing so, transmits them to young fans. And though there was a time when artists like Public Enemy and NWA waxed political, hip-hop today is dominated by money, power, bling and video vixens. Thug appeal is critical to a rapper's image, and there's no place for a "flag" within that, says Dean, whose upbringing in Detroit involved a drug-addicted prostitute mother and time in jail. Being gay is considered soft, sissy—a putdown that's won emcee battles for years. So when artists like Eminem and Jay-Z—and even so-called socially conscious rappers like Common—throw out insults like "fag" and "bitch," it's the ultimate threat to a man's masculinity. "The more hetero a person is, the more accepted he is," Dean writes. Adds Tim'm West, an openly gay Bay Area rapper and activist, "Straightness is as crudely affixed to skill in hip-hop as the microphone."
Rappers certainly know that. When filmmaker Byron Hurt asked Busta Rhymes about homosexuality in hip-hop for a 2006 documentary on the subject, the rapper was so offended he walked out—on camera. Even when Hurt later screened the film, called "Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes," he says his audiences squirmed when the topic was raised. "The very nature of the hip-hop beast has homophobia imbedded in it," says Fred Mwangaguhunga, the editor of MediaTakeOut.com, a black-focused celebrity website.
Which is why hip-hop's gay culture is so shrouded in silence, with intricate measures taken to keep it that way. To get admitted into the "clique," as Dean describes it, a brother is carefully vetted, then interviewed by a person who will become his "sponsor," meaning he'll take the fall if that person screws up or goes to the press. There's also a machine designed to back that up. Managers brief artists on image control, give them extensive media training about how to walk, talk and act the gangster lifestyle—and always avoid the inevitable questions. Publicists go to great lengths to mastermind their artists' appearances—and who those appearances are with—in gossip mags. Producers tap their friends in the industry to find single female celebs they can persuade to be on hand for red carpet events. "We have to make sure [nobody] will run and report it to the media, gossip magazines, or to [their] friends," Dean writes. "We have to make sure you have an allegiance with us and that you will go down for us."
That allegiance extends all the way to the paparazzi, who in many cases won't break the code in an effort to ensure future access. If they do break it, many magazines editors won't buy the photos anyhow, for fear of lawsuits or professional backlash. (In 1998, when Hot 97 shock jock Wendy Williams hinted that a major New York rapper was gay, she was booted from the station.) "You have to understand that once you print a story like that, particularly against a hip-hop artist, you have to be prepared for a full-on kamikaze attack," says Mwangaguhunga. "The artist, the label, and everybody who endorsed that artist will launch a huge lawsuit against you." Mwangaguhunga says his agency gets tips on this type of thing three or four times a week—sometimes in the form of a phone call, photo, or video. But because of the time and money needed to confirm the accusations, a lot of those tips don't make it into print. Says a corporate lawyer turned gossip writer for AllHipHop.com, who would only give his pen name, illseed, "There are people in the tabloid media dying to confirm something of this sort. But at the very end of the day, it's not what you know, its what you can prove—or, these days, what you can print."
As Dean points out, the irony about gay rappers is that hip-hop was founded on the notion of speaking truth; it was the voice of an urban underclass largely hidden from the mainstream. The more adversity an artist faced, the more street credibility he developed. "It was about being real," says Los Angeles rapper Deadlee (real name Joseph Lee), who is openly gay—do-rag, tattoos, hardcore lyrics and all. Money has changed all that, as hip-hop has transformed from the word of the street to the word of the elite: clothes, cars, bitches and bling have overtaken social consciousness. But Deadlee is part of a growing movement of gay rappers who make up the world of "homohop," a genre he hopes will eventually cross over to the mainstream. With more than 50 recognized homohop artists on the Web site Outhiphop.com, many are touring at home and abroad. "There's likely a gay counterpart to every 'brand' of hip-hop in the mainstream," says Tim'm West, who is the founder of the Oakland-based gay rap group, Deep Dickollective. (He also released his second solo album, "Blakkboy Blue(s)," last year.)
Mainstream acceptance of a gay rapper would definitely require a paradigm shift, says West. But perhaps a failing industry could foster that. After 30 years of growing popularity, rap is now struggling with an alarming sales decline and growing criticism; its sales dropped 21 percent from 2005 to 2006. A recent study by the Black Youth Project showed that a majority of youth rap is too violent; even Nas declared in the title of his 2006 album, "Hip-hop Is Dead." "I wonder what would happen if a rapper came out and tapped into this market," says Mwangaguhunga. "Hip-hop is about telling stories of struggle and life, and I think there's a real story to tell of urban, gay youth." That won't happen tomorrow, but if Dean can come out of "hiding," maybe the industry can too.

I would like to see this also, I hope they just don't try to make him out to be some huge hero or great guy. He did some good things, but he was often in trouble with the law, had a drug habit that eventually killed him, and had 12 or 13 kids that he wasn't paying child support for at one point. Thats not a role model for kids imo.
I don't know if everybody knows this guy, but he helped PRT and YZ to name a few back in the 80's and 90's. Tony D was TRenton Hip Hop back then, he's still around and the cut with wise from PRT is sick.

I wanted to see what your guys opinions are of the new Roots album. I like the Rising Down track, definitely went a harder direction in this album, then they have that song that sounds like a Dave Matthews beat.
i refuse to ever listen to it...the roots have been gay since they got the badu voodoo and became soul aquarians...basically they havent made anything dope in about 10 years
outside of the Rising Down track, im really disappointed. Just like Game Theory, only 1 or 2 tracks worth listening to.
pretty much what i expected
last time they had an album that didnt suck was things fall apart and even that was boring

listened to the cool kids classic mixtape on a plane today and it was really good. never heard of them before but i'm a fan now.
They had a Rap/Hip Hop category on Jeopardy tonight. I think the contestants got the easiest question right, didn't answer 2, and got 2 wrong.
Shocking, I know.
What's said is that I knew 4 of the 5 answers.
What were the answers.
One of them was about the "king of crunk" (lil jon) and the other was about the star of "Father Hood" (snoop dogg, duh).
That's all I remember.
anyone listen to The KnuX? Only heard one song from them on Sirius, its not bad.

Its crazy when you hear Eminem talk, almost like his is still a youngbuck in the rap world. I mean...he has to know that he one of/if not the best hip hop artists ever...or maybe he is just that humble

i've been listening to rza's new one, digi snacks, and it's not good so far.
ok, i finished it and it never gets good. pretty zesty throughout actually. it's an entire album of retarded lyrics thrown over some weird background noises with some chick singing background and a david banner appearance. theres 2 or 3 tracks that might be worth listening to, but i wouldn't even bother, unless you just want to find out for yourself how bad the album is.

QuoteKhia Edgerton, a pioneering DJ who as "K-Swift" became one of Baltimore's top radio personalties and a major player in the local music scene, died early Monday morning after a pool accident at her home. She was 29.
Through her popular radio show, which attracted thousands of listeners each night, and frequent live performances, Ms. Edgerton helped reinvigorate and reintroduce the aging genre of Baltimore Club music to a younger generation of listeners. For local artists, a spin on K-Swift's 92Q radio show meant instant recognition.
Known as the "Club Queen," Ms. Edgerton brought a distinct style of music known as Baltimore Club to cities up and down the East Coast through her live shows. Driven but modest, she excelled in a scene traditionally dominated by men.

I can't listen to anything after the early 90's. In other words I hate Tupac and feel rap/hip hop went on a slow downward spiral since him.

i hate tupac more than anyone but he had four albums before hip-hop started to go down hill...hip-hop died for numerous reasons but all combined arent bigger than sampling laws...that is what essentially ended hip-hop as we knew it
i love how the source didnt even give gangstarr four mics...so many great albums came out back then that you had to downgrade some classics or else it would look like you loved everything...you notice in a lot of reviews from back then that there isnt a single negative thing said about a particular album yet its rating doesnt equal its review
if daily op came out today it would be a million mic record
been listening to the new elzhi from slum village and it's not bad.

i heard slyfox and hero and it sounds pretty good.
I didn't have any Gang Starr albums so I just bought the Full Clip 2 disc set with the "best" 40 songs or whatever. How the HELL is Moment of Truth not on there.

If you all havent heard of this boy, check him out. Funny little dude.
My cousin discovered this kid when he was my roommate 3 years ago, now hes starting to take off. Not too sure if his voice, which sounds like Eminem, will hurt him... but we'll see.
Hes from Morrisville PA, and brings the suburbs vibe rather the wannabe ghetto thug life. He just made the cover of XXL magazine as top 10 freshman hip hoppers of 2009

beats are decent....but that guy should be dropped off in the middle of strawberry mansion on the night obama gets assasinated...hes incredibly annoying....theres been about five white people in the history of rap who were good...and none were from suburbia...so if youre white and wanna rap i suggest you first make friends with people who arent souless mall rats
name those five?
Eminem
Everlast?
I don't know any other white rappers.
Top White boys
Tony D

Stero MC's more dance but listened to them growing up.
Blondie, just becuase she had the first video
Everlast (which one, the LA style with Ice T, The Irish style with HOP, or the latest?
Bubba sparx (just kind of like his style)
Paul Wall? not down with that style too much

suicide inducing...he is the prototypical white kid who got into rap via the internet when he found out almost anyone could make hip hop as long as you had an imac and the proper software package....im pretty sure LES hipsters people in alberta and chinese kids from cali think hes the next coming tho
was at a bachelor party in nyc this weekend, and somehow necro became our limo music of choice. i love that dude. and he's white.
Tim Fite is :boo not good at hip hop.

Ra the Rugged Man
The High and Mighty(Mr Eon and Dj Mighty Mi)

Necro, Ill Bill, Non Phixon
Styles of Beyond(mostly Asians, one white dude)
Celph Titled
thats because you like all kinds of music...but if you only liked soulful music (most of) those people would haunt you in your sleep
white people should not rap and black people should not rock....that aint racism thats realism
true.
How is it, that on the day after history has been made by a black man becoming president we are debating top white rappers? :-D
How about a top 5 all time MC list
#1 KRS One
#2 Rakim
#3 Ganstarr
#4 Biggie
#5 Big Daddy Kane
I never liked Pac/Jay Z or Nas.

I do remember the song, I never could pin where this track was from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2zkRnoeKFc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2zkRnoeKFc) . I was out of college and at that point was almost done with the "new" hip hop of the day. I always was down with pre 91 hip hop until Biggie hit the scene, I got an underground tape of him live at a show in Brooklyn and his fargin lyrics were :o, blew me away.
one of the original songs that is looped to make let it all hang out is blue mitchells the good humour man which is amazing
http://www.imeem.com/people/o_jiCw/music/T2Dw0owu/blue_mitchell_good_humour_man/
the umcs classic "one to grow on" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huTk8bgzU9Y also samples it at the start and at like 1:52
Is Zack de la Rocha considered white?

151. Them That's Not – J live
Production By: Grap Luva
1999
J's masterpiece about the travails of the music industry is a textbook in flow and lyricism. Peep how he speeds up and slow flows his rhymes to the changing beat which is excellent in it's own right and put together by Pete Rock's little brother.
150. Stay Real – Black Moon
Production By: Da Beatminerz
2003
Insane beat by the Beatminerz, one that was later jacked by Just Blaze for Jay-Z's "Public Service Announcement" perfectly suits Buckshot as the dark grimy music allows him to keep "an eye on the night". It even makes the 5 footer sound dope. Full disclosure regarding the beat: it actually first can be found on OC's "Word....Life" on the "Point O Viewz" intro.
149. Brooklyn Kids - Jemini The Gifted One
Production By: Minnesota
1995
Yes newjacks this is the same Jemini that teamed up with Danger Mouse for "Ghetto Pop Life". Here he spits a moving and sober picture of his blighted Brooklyn neighborhoods over a beat that was born for this subject matter.
148. Full Clip - Gangstarr
Prodcution By: DJ Premier
1999
Your head starts nodding as you hear "Big L rest in peace" and BEFORE the beat even starts. Not many groups can make a street and club banger but Gangstarr did it perfectly on this lead single to their greatest hits package.
147. Day One – D.I.T.C.
Production By: Diamond D
1997
The quintessional as a group D.I.T.C. track. Every member destroy's the amazing Diamond beat and makes the next man sharper, especially Big L who is just out of his mind.
146. Be Black – King Sun
Production By: King Shameek
1990
Coming out mere weeks before Brand Nubians "One For All" this pro black banger stands up well against anything on the much more recognized album from the Now Rule Mob.
145. In The Trunk (Glove Compartment Remix) – Too Short
Production By: DJ Premier
1992
One would think that a song produced by the east coast boom bap champion and the west coasts funk pimp champion would result in a culture clashed mess. What it results in is Too Shorts best song ever.
144. Scene – Mike Zoot
Production By – DJ Spinna
1997
Off the classic Zoot 2x12 inch from 97 comes the amazing "Scene" Zoot's braggadocio rhymes go flow perfectly over classic Spinna production. One of the great crimes in hip-hop history is Mike Zoot not ever coming out with a full length.
143. Drop The Bomb – Brand Nubian
Production By – Brand Nubian
1990
Not that Sadat X and Lord Jamar didn't come correct cause they kill their verses but this song makes any countdown on Grand Puba's verse alone. Simply put it's one of the best verses ever spit in the history of rap music.
142. Mix Tapes – The Nonce
Production By: The Nonce
1995
Back when people used to actually produce and rhyme on their own songs you had cohesive perfectly put together tracks and albums like the nonce's "Mix Tapes" off the amazing "World Ultimate". Please cop this album if you haven't already.
141. Crooklyn – Crooklyn Dodgers
Producion By: Q-Tip
1994
Brooklyn threesome Special Ed, Master Ace and Buckshot ironically rhyming over a track laid down by a producer from Queens. The result is pure magic and if this song (along with his Mobb Deep work) doesn't show that Tip was the genius behind Tribe's beats then nothing will.
140. They Want EFX Remix – Das EFX
Production By: Das EFX
1992
A vast improvement to an already damn good song.
139. Open Up – The Nonce
Production By: Yusef Afloat
1997
From the vault of unreleased material put out by the Nonce following their 1995 debut "World Ultimate" comes their best song this dark track calling out all fake writers and emcees is super.
138. It's On You – Pete Rock & CL Smooth
Production By: Pete Rock
1994
From the vastly underrated second Pete & CL album "The Main Ingrediant" (it is easily better than Mecca and the Soul Brother) comes this beautiful request to their fellow brothers of New York to "Stop the Violence".
137. Street Struck – Big L
Production By: Lord Finesse
1995
While Big L had a difficult time carrying whole albums he is owner of some of the best hip-hop songs (and verses) of all time. Street Struck is a tale of life and death on the streets of Harlem over a haunting beat by Lord Finesse that unfortunately foreshadowed L's own demise.
136. Ya Wish Ya Could – Special Ed
Production By: Howie Tee
1989
At an amazing 16 years old Special Ed showed incredible flow and delivery for any age on this battle rhyme classic. Q-Tip and Snoop may be the only people that had a flow as effortless as Special Ed.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LUUR32UK
heres the upload if anyone wants to burn this....i think i did it right
sb even if you dont want it can you check to see that the upload worked?
second batch coming soon
135. Black With N.V. (No Vision) – Black Sheep
Production By: Mista Lawnge
1991
now i was told to never bite off more then i could chew
but then you better bite enough for if you dont my boy your blue
now i wonder can others see the system that i see
or do they see and say they blame it on society
the days of smart enough come to over just say thousands
an as i live and learn because theres always someone mouthin
speaking on an issue...praise you or they dis you
as long as im strong the words fly by me like scott tissue
my people from ****** to negro to man of color killed my father and my brother so that you could rape my mother
now you wonder why is it through instinct you fear
wouldnt dare me to stare....one for yourself youre outta here
not to worry to harm your not intention of my creed
but to stop your greed and give me what i need
opportunity for a life of me
and generations to come with in tranquility
now harmony is a total love of things
for those who are inclined or better yet like to sing
but piece of mind it is my right for the spark will ignite
until i can catch a cab at midtown at midnight
till i can be myself and not be thought of as worse
till i can buy a slice from howard beach to the hurst
till i can get the play without fear of eject
and occupations which i seek i can have if i select
now if i so select and reach out to make touch
how can you say that i ask for too much???
nuff ******* said....best verse of all time
134. Listen Up – E Rule
Production By: King Born Allah
1994
The ultimate one hit wonder but god damn what a one hit. A crazy smooth air tight flow over a lovely flip of the classic Roy Ayers "Sunshine".
133. Nappy Heads Remix – The Fugees
Production By: Salaam Remi
1994
Salaam Remi drops one of the genres greatest beats and Lauryn Hill owns it as she is at the top of her game here. On the short list for the all time best remix that improves on the OG.
132. Mind Your Business – Grand Puba
Production By: SD50's & Grand Puba
1993
The B side gem to the "Ya Know How It Goes" 12inch. Coming in at a crisp and clean three minutes Puba wastes no time telling what all the crabs can do and at the same time giving us a little history lesson on the God Haji.
131. Freaky Flow Remix – Special Ed
Production By: DJ Premier
1996
Special Ed's triumphant return resulted in the underwhelming album "Revelations". But it was more than made up for by this phenominal remix. Special Ed somehow holds his own against, but eventually succumbs to the makes you want to punch someone in the face bassline. Primo is a god.
130. The Hiatus Remix – Diamond D & Cru
Production By: Diamond D
1997
Strokin hoes in the Poconos, la la la la la....la la la la la....hey ladies! "Smooth as butter like my man called Phife" Diamond once said, he had to have been having a premonition about this track.
129. Liquid – L Fudge
Production By: Sean C
1998
Sean C didn't do much in his career but he laid down one of nicest beats you will ever hear on L-Fudges incredible Rawkus debut 12inch. BTW L-Fudge might be the most slept on emcee of all time, everyone should own his catalog, the Mount Everest of it being Liquid.
128. The **** Is Real Remix – Fat Joe
Production By: DJ Premier
1994
How would you like to be a song produced by the Beatnuts AND Premier. "**** Is Real" gets that honor with the Nuts doing the album version and Primo this remix. There aren't to many people who could actually improve on a track made by the Beatnuts. Primo is one of them. Don't sleep on Fat Joes excellent autobiographical rhymes either.
127. Similak Child – Black Sheep
Production By: Mista Lawnge
1991
This song is so well put together and the samples layered so beautifully. The main loop coming from Tom Scott's "Today", which also fathered rap classics "T.R.O.Y" and the "It's A Boy Remix". Tom Scott interestingly enough did the theme songs to such TV shows as Starsky and Hutch and Family Ties. All hip-hop fans should own a copy of "Today".
126. Hip-Hop – Mos Def
Production By: Diamond D
1999
A true hip-hop anthem in every sense of the word. Diamonds titantic beat backs Mos as he rather than send an abstract love letter ala Common on "I Used To Love H.E.R." he fires a straight forward angry in your face depiction of the music we all love.
125. Maintain – Organized Konfusion
Production By: Rockwilder
1994
Two brilliant verses about life crushing you to the point of no return but at the end of the day you "gotta maintain". Check how the verses build from beginning to almost bursting at the seams until the last two bars in each verse when the emcees get their wits about them and realize they cant do what they want to do.
124. 13th Floor/Growing Old - Outkast
Production By: Organized Noize
1996
So many Outkast songs to choose from, but none carry the emotion and message that "Growing Old" contains and at the same time highlighting Big Boi and Dre's writing and rhyming skills.
123. Da Two – Pete Rock & CL Smooth
Production By: Pete Rock
1998
First Erick and Parrish now Pete and CL. The Hip-Hop planets are once again aligned and everyone will rest easy tonight. Ummm not so much, but you should want your last song together to be one of the best ever and this one is.
122. Slow Down Remix – Brand Nubian
Production By: Pete Rock
1991
Only Pete Rock could improve on an already classic cut. Whats really special is he just did a little tweaking. Add some "School Boy Crush" bells here thicken and speed up the bassline there and voila you have an entirely different and better feel.
121. Jungle Music - Jeru
Production By: DJ Premier
1994
I don't know where Primo got these drums from but they thunder while Jeru ride perfectly over them and the Issac Hayes (RIP) loop.
120. Unusual Styles – Maylay Sparks
Production By: Omne
1998
Over one of the illest piano loops ever put on record Philly emcee Maylay Sparks flows like Mrs. Buttworths on what is an ultimate head nodder.

the new kanye album is terrible absolutely terrible.
not that he was ever a great lyricist but at least he masked it with superb production but the new direction has terrible production, even worse lyrics, and that horrible t pain voice effect for the whole album.
that effect was first used by Cher
NPR said so today

Yeah, I feel that......
Kanye should leave the Hip Hop Vocoder stuff to T-Pain, Ron Browz, and to a lesser extent Lil Wayne.
Chris Breezy should leave it alone too...
they should all leave it alone.
it sucks and it does not make songs any better.
agreed...it's farging horrible. one of the worst trends i've ever seen in hip hop.
your life is played out like kwame and those fargin polka dots
119. We Had To Tear This Muthfarger Up – Ice Cube
Production By: DJ Muggs
1993
Coming in the shadows of the LA Riots Cube is at his all time angriest (and thats saying something) on this blistering response to the Rodney King verdict. Credit Muggs for finding a bassline that is as angry as the emcee. As powerful a rap song as theres ever been.
118a&b. Wake Up/Wake Up Remix (Reprise In The Sunshine)
Production By: SD50's & Brand Nubian (Respectively)
1990
It's just impossible for me to separate these two versions of what might be the definitive politically charged socially conscious pro black hip-hop song. Some might remember the video being banned by MTV for having a black guy in white face. Whether you prefer the hyperkinetic SD50 version or the laid back 'Sunshine' remix the power of this song cannot be denied.
117. Southern Comfort – Down South
Production By: Shawn J. Period
1994
Shawn J. Period who many will remember from the fabulous work he put in with numerous mid to late 90's underground artists (including his excellent Rawkus stuff) debuts on this album with the sonically beautiful "Southern Comfort". A wonderful Roy Ayers foundation holds up an amazing Charlie Parker horn loop and both are made hip-hop by boomin drums. It's jazz based rap production at its finest.
116. Gots Like Come On Thru Remix – Buddha Monk
Production By: Freundeskreis
1998
Tremendous guitar sample – check
Thunderous drums – check
Wu-Affiliation – check
Osiris on the hook – check
115. To Whom It May Concern – Black Sheep
Production By: Mista Lawnge
1991
Dres' blistering indictment of the record industry and all wack emcees over the ridiculous "Celestial Blues" bassline makes for one of raps best calling cards ever put down. Dres' catalog may not be as extensive as some of the so called GOAT emcees but if theres five better than Dres at the top of his game I would love to know who they are.
114. Fudge Pudge (Bob T Mix) – Organized Konfusion
Production By: Organized Konfusion
1992
The legendary Paul C (RIP) taught OK everything they know on the boards and it all pays off in what is as smooth a beat as youll ever hear. A lot of people would say that about the original "Fudge Pudge" and also prefer it. Not me.
113. The Faces - Aceyalone
Production By: Mumbles
1998
Aceyalones sophomore opus "A Book of Human Language" is highly overrated by many and pales in comparison to his classic debut "All Balls Don't Bounce" but it does contain the best solo track of his career. The soulful "The Faces" is songwriting at its best about the unfair advantage, or depending on your point of view, disadvantage of personal appearance. The song keeps a perfect balance of being abstract and intelligent without losing any listenability as his songs sometimes do.
112. Grand Verbalizer, What Time Is It? – X Clan
Production By: X Clan
1990
Not a lot of people know Brother J one of the greatest emcees of all time was almost the 5th member of A Tribe Called Quest. However his militant angry pro black stance didn't quite fit in with the softer afro-centric vibe of the Native Tongue. This was undoubtedly the right move as Tribe went on to be arguably rap's greatest group and Brother j hooked up with Sonny Carson's son Lumumba (Professor X) to form X-Clan who put out two classic albums including the all world "To The East Blackwards". It is off that album which "Grand Verbalizer" comes and showcases Brother J's boomin voice, angry rhetoric and silky smooth flow. Over the Average White Bands same simple "Schoolboy Crush" guitar loop used on Rakim's "Microphone Fiend" has anyone ever been so loud and smooth at the same time as Brother J?
111. Me & The Biz – Master Ace
Production By: Marley Marl
1990
Over a super dope Marley Marl head nodder Master Ace does his best Master Ace and Biz Markie all in one. And don't forget the classic video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdmlomEm92M .
110. Nas Is Like - Nas
Production By: DJ Premier
1999
Nas' last collaboration with the legendary DJ Premier is not coincidentally also his last truly great song - "im like all races combined in one man....like the '99 summer jam...bulletproof hummer man...im like being locked down around new faces and none of em fam" – good stuff.
BTW for years the sample used on this song was impossible to find and Premier wouldn't talk. But back in April it was finally revealed to be from a rare obscure Christian record called "Cantata Of New Life" by John Rudgren. Only Primo could dig a beat off a 1972 Christian music record.
109. Dayz Of Wayback – N.W.A.
Production By: Doctor Dre
1991
There are other NWA cuts that are more meaningful (farg The Police) more popular (Always Into Somethin) have better music (Express Yourself) or better rhymes (Parental Discretion Is Advised) but there are not many that are actually better songs. This one is just about perfection.
108. Loves Gonna Getcha – Boogie Down Productions
Production By: KRS-1
1990
Hip-Hops best "love" song and story telling at it's finest. KRS-1's ode to the fast life leading to a faster ending paints a picture like few songs before it or since. It also contains one of the best hip-hop quotables of all time: "now theres steak with the beans and rice"
107. Stress Remix – Organized Konfusion & Large Professor
Production By: Large Professor
1994
A lot of golden age hip-hop heads can remember exactly where they were when they first heard this amazing remix mostly due to Large Professor ripping the track to shreds. His production was well known but it had been over three years since Breakin Atoms and all we'd heard from Extra P was "Fakin The Funk" so when he lit fire to this track with lines like "so while I make a fat beat to eat.....some of my mans from john bound high is sleepin in the street" everyones jaws dropped. I somewhat compare it first hearing Phife on Low End Theory.
106. Machine Gun Funk – Biggie Smalls
Production By: Easy Moe Bee
1994
In the eyes of many people Biggie is the GOAT and I can't argue with anyone who thinks this way. Thus you're not going to find to many beats that overshadow Frank White, however this is one of them. Easy Moe Bee has put out some of the best beats in rap but he was never better than when working with Biggie. The Black Heat sample here is super. For the record and so we don't get it twisted Biggie comes insane on the song as well especially his second verse which is just a clinic on how to put together 16 bars.
105. Excursions – A Tribe Called Quest
Production By: Q-Tip
1991
On their 1996 album "Stakes Is High" De La Soul begins the record with a skit that asks "Where were you when you first heard Criminal Minded?." This applies to Tribes "Low End Theory" as well but it also can be broken down even further to "Where were you when you first heard 'Back in the days when I was a teenager'?" After having just come racing back from Funk-O-Mart, a legendary Philadelphia hip-hop spot, with the album I was in my basement when I put the record on and immediately called every friend I had and asked if they could believe how good this was. That bassline, Tip's matured voice and holy shtein when those drums dropped. It took you all of 15 seconds to realize where the album title came from. What a sick song.
104. Intro - Casual
Production By: Domino
1994
Coming in at under two minutes some might argue that this isn't technically a song but whatever it is it's phat as hell. Basically it's the perfect pre cursor to what is going to follow on "Fear Itself", Casual's phenomenal debut album. Casual puts forth a top 5 emceeing performance spitting the nastiest battle rhymes you'll ever hear over incredible crate digging beats from the hieroglyphics contingent and this opener represents its all.

Quote from: ice grillin you on December 09, 2008, 02:59:08 PM
who the hell still listens to that stuff
You'd be surprised.... Hittin up new era shtein for 3 hrs of a 4 hr gig has peoples lovin that stuff when it gets dropped... but ya gotta read the crowd (30 +) and hit em with stuff they ain't heard in a minute
if the crowd is patient enough to sit through 3-4 hours of all that t-pain, lil wayne, young jeezy garbage they call modern rap, they deserve to be rewarded with something that doesn't suck balls.
except mc trouble does suck balls and raheem while dope is incredibly dated and not something that would come close to rewarding me for sitting thru a set of current rap trash
That's why I hit it off in 10 min sets (r&b, GoGo, east coast, dirty south, reggae, baltimore club, etc.) when I bring it at my shows.... I rarely ever play a whole song; I might play 1/3 to 1/2 snippets of it and then mix into something else.
Raheem and MC Trouble by itself might not work, but if you have a 30+ crowd and blend an old-school new jack swing flavor to your set (ex. Father MC-"I'll Do For U" to Wreckx-n-Effect-"New Jack Swing" to MC Trouble-"Wanna Make U Mine" to Heavy D-"Somebody For Me" and finish it with a well-known classic from Guy, A.B.C, or Johnny Gill) then it's a done deal.
As for the Raheem, for two weeks I've had this dude begging me to play some old school west coast stuff since he was from Venice Beach, but he only wanted the stuff BEFORE the WC gangsta rap blew the danceable west coast out the water. I wanted to play Hammer's "Pump It Up" but I didn't have the cooler extended version so I went with the King T to MC Breeze to Def Jef to Raheem and ended on the Cypress Hill note. 30+ crowd, everyone went bananas..... I didn't even have to run old school east coast, which is what I normally do. Damn, I'm a BEAST....

finally someone up in here speaking my language

should've mixed in some la dream team.
should have sent a scud missle to the party
ig...are you a jay z fan? if so, what are some of his tracks that you like?
i feel like i'm missing something...he's supposedly a highly respected mc but i can't stand any of the jay z songs i've heard. i've heard mostly his radio friendly stuff so i'm guessing that's why.
when hes good hes amazing but most of his albums are incredibly uneven
reasonable doubt and the black album are excellent records just about all the way thru...many people think the blueprint is his best album and while i think its overrated i think its worthy of owning
the rest of his albums range from barely listenable to wack...a few of the songs i like
one and a million ?'s

103. The Most Beautifullest Thing In This World – Keith Murray
Production By: Erick Sermon
1994
Keith Murray turned heads in 1993 with his incredible debut verse on Erick Sermons "Hostile" (in fact he had a line in that song "most beautifullest thing in this word" that was sampled for this track) so the anticipation for his solo debut album was huge. This the first single did not disappoint. Grimy, hardcore, braggadocios and yet still silky smooth over the track Keith Murray displayed it all and did it over some killer Detroit Emerald drums and a smooth organ both laid down E double.
102. Grown Man Sport - INI
Production By: Pete Rock
1995
Not one of the best THE best piano loop I have ever heard. I think the instrumental of this song would still crack this list. Not hating on the emceeing but the beat is that good.
101. Winter Warz – Ghostface Killah
Production By: RZA
1996
Cappadonna, Cappadonna, Cappadonna. Just listen to his verse and be in awe.
100. Warning – Biggie Smalls
Production By: Easy Moe Bee
1994
Off what could be the best 12" record ever put out Big Poppa/Who Shot Ya?/Warning (are you kidding me?) Warning encompasses Biggie better than any song he ever did. Paranoia, story telling, flow, imagery, darkness are all at their highest levels and take place over Easy Moe Bee in his prime lacing the classic Issac Hayes "Walk On By" sample. Music and lyrics don't get much better than this.
99. Call Me D Nice – D Nice
Production By: D Nice
1990
Originally written and recorded with a different beat in 1987 D-Nice three years later re did what would become a Boogie Down Bronx classic. What made the new version so insanely dope was a Puff Daddy like beat jack of the Turtles "Buzzsaw" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZm96qtzePY of course this blows anything Puff ever did out of the water. Of note: not many people know that D-Nice produced the legendary anti-violence track "Self Destruction".
98. Buck Em Down Remix – Black Moon
Production By: Da Beatminerz
1994
"On the streets he was tough locked up he was sweet stuff", what makes this line so real is what immediately precedes it "Ask my man Ruff". Incredible, Buckshot is actually rapping first hand information about one of his boys getting raped in prison. And so goes one of the street toughest songs ever written. What really makes it special is its rhymed over a beautifully smoothed out Roy Ayers "Wind Parade" sample. No ones ever been so rough and so smooth on a record.
97. Youthful Expression – A Tribe Called Quest
Production By: A Tribe Called Quest
1990
When you have as many classic tracks as A Tribe Called Quest youre bound to have some great ones slide under the radar. Well this may be the most criminally slept on of them all (along with "Busta's Lament" off of "The Love Movement") and it is also the best example of Q-Tips laid back style. Tip doesn't so much as rap here as he does talk. Almost like he's having a conversation with someone. The effortlessness of his rhymes is truly amazing.
96. How Nice I Am – World Renown
Production By: K-Def
1995
K-Def crafted his trade in Marley Marls house of hit's and it paid off well on tracks like Lords of the Undergrounds "Funky Child" and the underrated Real Live album. But he out did himself on this song which blew up underground shows in the summer of 95 and contains one of the better piano loops you'll hear.
95. Fanatic Word Of The B – De La Soul
Production By: Prince Paul
1991
Great example of how something so simple (a beautiful guitar loop over some Lee Dorsey drums) can give birth to something so dope. Add in a couple classic De La verses and an other worldly verse by Dres in his first ever on record appearance and you got a tremendous song.
94. Dynamite Soul Remix – Artifacts
Production By: EZ Elpee
1995
The song that put EZ Elpee on the map. Kid came out of nowhere with an incredibly fierce bassline that will nod your head to sleep. On top of that are three sick verses led by Madd Skillz who destroys the track and in the process outshines Tame One and El Da Sensai and that's no small feat.
93. Worlds Famous - Beatnuts
Production By: Beatnuts
1993
If you paid attention the world was first introduced to The Beatnuts when Q-Tip gave them a shout out on Tribes "Verses From The Abstract". Two years after that they made their on wax debut with "Worlds Famous" and just blew everyone away. The Beatnuts grew up in the studio learning from the Jungle Brothers and the incredibly smooth jazzy horn used here is clearly of Native Tongue influence. In fact the background voices on this record are many of the Native Tongue members who were in and out of the studio for most of the Beatnuts studio sessions. Also of note a verse by VIC on this record subbing for a still jailed Fashion.
92. Memory Lane - Nas
Production By: DJ Premier
1994
It's hard to say this since this is one of Premiers best beats ever but this track is all about the rhymes. Lyrically Nas' best written song ever it is just loaded with unbelieveable quotables - "i reminisce on park jams...my man was shot for his sheep coat...chocolate blunts make me see him drop in my weed smoke" – being my favorite.
91. Soul By The Pound Remix – Common Sense
Production By: Immenslope
1994
For whatever reason the video version of this single off Commons first album was actually different than the album version. Anyway it's the "Thump Remix" we are citing her. Common has his squealy high pitched voice that disappeared between his first and second records but the rhymes he spits are full of the incredibly wordplay that he would become known for. And the track might have the best vocal interpolated chorus of all-time includes cuts from Q-Tip, Redman and Grand Puba, "boomin and ya boomin and ya boomin in ya jeep, type a shtein that hits when ya pump it in ya truck, ba bump ba bump make ya speakers pop". Brilliance
90. D'evils – Jay Z
Production By: DJ Premier
1996
Song about what money power and the drug game can do to ones soul and ones lifetime friendships. Primo brings a haunting piano loop that perfectly matches both the darkness and sadness of the song. This is Jay's best song and its not really close.
89. 5one6 – Mystic Microfon
Production By: Erik Romero
1994
One of the all-time one hit wonders. And really it wasn't a hit, "Mystic Microfon blew up college and underground radio but nothing more. That's a shame because this song is bangin with a crazy smooth guitar sample and 5one6 riding the beat perfectly. This is one of those songs you can play on a loop and never get sick of it, its perfection.
88. Award Tour – A Tribe Called Quest
Production By: A Tribe Called Quest
1993
Anyone who went out in 1993 knows the bedlam that the club was sent into when Milt Jacksons xylophone came on the system. It meant the Award Tour drums were about to blow the roof off the place. Much like Memory Lane is Nas' own little rhyme writing clinic Award Tour is Tribes beat digging clinic. No doubt coming from Q-Tips legendary record collection this song is made up of three obscure samples put together in an incredible way to make a masterpiece. Anyone that thinks that hip-hop isn't music or that its easy to sample ("steal") other peoples record to create your own song has never tried it and should check the originals and then listen to Award Tour and see if you think you could have done it.

Lil Wayne almost swept the Rap categories at the Grammys, taking Best Solo, Best Duo/Group, Best Song and Best Album...
As far as rap goes my tastes lean to Cowboy Troy and Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff.

Lil Wayne almost swept the Rap categories at the Grammys, taking Best Solo, Best Duo/Group, Best Song and Best Album...
Thats an insult to hip hop in general..but really..there was no one else that got their name out there faster than Lil Wayne. It was like all of sudden he was all over every single...and its not like this guy is a lyrical genius...he actually sucks lyrically
Im waiting for this new generation of hip hop to come out where there are some educated young bucks that feel like they dont have to folllow suit to their rap ancestors and talk about guns and the rough and rugged ghetto life. Though it wont be the norm throughout hip hop for a while or even ever, it will at least be a slow transition that hopefully transforms hip hop into something worth listening to
lil wayne actually is pretty good lyricist...im not his biggest fan but for a current mainstream rapper hes not that bad at all
best grammy moment ever....rip osirus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS181X4F3bw
I've never heard him, but what I've read lauds his lyricism before all else
i'm not a huge fan either but dude works hard. if you throw out a new mixtape every few days for three years straight, eventually one of them is gonna catch on.
man i got summer hatin on me cause im hotter than the sun...i got spring hatin on me cause i aint never sprung...winter hatin on me cause im colder than yall...and i will never....i will never...i will never fall...im bein hated by the seasons...so eff yall who hatin for no reason....
them birds dont fly without my permission...im probably in the sky flying with the fishes...or maybe in the ocean swimming with the pigeons...see im lil wayne my world is different
feet hanging out the window jock my shoe game... cuz all my kicks fly- like lou kang
im just tryna stack more funds....baby im a god i should walk around with nuns...
but i walk around with guns....use your head or youll walk around with none
Not a fan other than when im drunk. Honestly when Lil Wayne is the best that hiphop has to offer. The Genre needs a shakeup.
Lil Wayne won over Lupe's The Cool, Nas's Untitled, and Jay Z's American Gangster?
WTF? The academy has no real idea what rap is or how to judge. They just seemingly give it the awards either randomly or to the most comercial one.
Lupe hands down had the best album out of those nominees. Lil Wayne is the Hanah Montana of rap.

lil wayne is 1000 times better than lupe fiasco...lupe has no charisma whatsoever and is a boring backpacking idiot who actually admitted he never heard any of tribes albums

I dont know if you decided to tout these lyrics because they blew your mind or this is the best Lil Wayne has to offer but my god that is awful
not shocking....i would never expect you to know the first thing about rhyming...it would be like me trying to break down the guitar player for coldplay
here we go--this is like the scene in White Men Cant Jump where we argue, "you can listen to Jimmy but you can't hear Jimmy"...but the difference is I can dunk
stop it
Far be it from me to be the judge of rhymes, but that shtein IGY just laid out by Lil Wayne was tight.

rjs is bananas.
i've tried listening to some of wayne's stuff but i just can't get into it. maybe it's the fake grimey voice he & 99% of the other rappers from the south use. i'm not sure.
the last time that voice worked was when sticky fingaz said bu-bu-but wait it gets worse.

lil wayne is 1000 times better than lupe fiasco...lupe has no charisma whatsoever and is a boring backpacking idiot who actually admitted he never heard any of tribes albums
again im not a huge lil wayne fan but tha carter is easily better than lupes or that POS album nas put out....and its probably even better than american gangster altho thats close...if wheezy had beats hed be really really good...but the majority of beats he rhymes over suck ass
Oh im sorry Mr. Absolute.
Lupe destroys LIL Wayne any day of the week lyrically. Charisma? He needs to be drunk to record? Wayne is somehow considered a legend all of a sudden because he went from being absolute garbage to be able to string together sentences finally. His metaphors are kindergarten level. "IM WAYNE...BLUE LIKE BLUE BERRIES"
What you posted/highlighted is read a lot better than he raps it. Thats my biggest problem with Wayne. Even if he has a clever line his delivery is terrible.
And is listening to all of Tribes albums a pre requisite to being a rapper? I bet you LIL Wayne never ever listened to A Tribe Called Quest. Boring? Depends on what you prefer in your subject matter. I rather listen to a album that covers various topics and does it far more cleverly with great lyrics than listen to LIL Wayne rap about his money pretty much on every song while he mimics T Pain while also sounding like he is going thru labor.
And I was trying to highlight how low I think of Wayne by saying Jay Z or Nas deserved it more. American Gangster and Untitled were disappointments. Well ok fine Carter III was better than the crap Nas put out. TI deserved it more than Wayne.
Still out of the albums nominated The Cool was far superior to the Carter III
to each his own but lupe puts me to sleep after like three songs...its not that hes wack hes just horribly boring which might be worse than being wack
id rather listen to a lil wayne album that has three or four bangers and some garbage than an entire lupe albbum that sounds like one long song even if that song is decent
lil wayne raps about tribe and did a song with q-tip...wheezy knows his history
lupe went on vh1 honors and didnt know the lyrics to electric relaxation then said this when people called him out
Quote
"[tribe] didn't sell 10 million records, so why would people think they had a blanket on the world like that? MC Hammer was way more popular to me than Tribe Called Quest."
"It's like, you ain't never listened to Midnight Marauders? You ain't expanding your horizons? Oh, you ain't real' cause they did that shtein to me! Oh Lupe, that's farged up man, I don't farg with you now! I'm not buying your next album' and be dead serious!
"Those hip hop elitists who think [tribe] hold the crown and the copyright to hip hop, I listen to 8Ball & MJG and I think they're better than you [tribe]."

I guess I am the complete opposite. I can not listen to the bangers for too long since they over play the songs anyway on the radio.
The Tribe issue I thought was dealt with? Q Tip asked him to perform...he did not know the lyrics and did not grow up listening to them. But if you actually listen to his stuff/albums he constantly big ups all the rappers he did grow up listening to. But whatever. Maybe I would enjoy LIL Wayne a bit more if he was not on every song out there and most of those songs sound the same, he raps the same thing, and they all have the same ppl on them.
And your boy Kanye is the one responsible for giving Lupe a chance by featuring him on a song. They are even in a grp together with Pharell.
kanye isnt my boy...he just respects the architects unlike that douche lupe
and not listening to the radio is good for your health
i havent listend to music on the radio in well over ten years
you'd enjoy the hip hop show at kexp.org I'm sure.
Joaquin Phoenix wants to be a rapper (http://delawareonline.com/article/20090210/ENTERTAINMENT/90210021)
QuoteJoaquin Phoenix insists he's jilting Hollywood for hip-hop
Actor says his new career as a rapper is the rizzle dizzle
By DAVID GERMAIN
AP Movie Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joaquin Phoenix is torn between two lovers in what he professes will be his last film.
As he talks passionately about his new pursuits, it seems he's not torn between artistic muses. Movies are out, and music is in, Phoenix insists.
After the dark romantic drama "Two Lovers," which opens Friday, Phoenix said he is through with acting, and nothing is going to coax the two-time Academy Award nominee back to that first creative love.
"I'm not one of those people, like, when I break up with my girlfriend, I don't ever see her again. I see her as friends, but do I ever think about getting back together? No, when I do something, I do it. So I have no intention," Phoenix, 34, said in an interview.
When Phoenix announced last fall that music was his new direction, many fans assumed he caught the country bug from playing Johnny Cash in 2005's "Walk the Line." Instead, he surprised people again by turning to hip-hop, a genre he says he's adored since his teens.
"I love the storytelling aspects of hip-hop, but I love the wordplay, as well," Phoenix said. "I just think the rhyming is fantastic, and I love, like, the raw emotion of it."
The switch has puzzled fans and prompted speculation that it's a put-on, fueled by a video that turned up on the Web last month showing Phoenix rapping in a Las Vegas nightclub. The poor-quality video, with virtually incomprehensible audio, was not the sort of thing to earn Phoenix many admirers.
"No matter how good it is, people are going to ... make fun of me. It's just impossible. It's just not going to happen, but I can't worry about that," Phoenix said. "What I was focusing on was the song and trying to make the show as good as possible."
Phoenix has built a home recording studio where he is laying down tracks for an album. He said he is not yet certain how it will be distributed, and while it is mostly a solo effort, Phoenix hopes to do at least one track with rapper Diddy.
Now sporting a long, scraggly beard and scruffy hair, Phoenix has drawn online wisecracks about a look far removed from singer Cash's clean-cut stage appearance. The actor said it was not so much about copping a new image as distancing himself musically from Cash.
"I'm not going with a look. Part of it is in some ways, it's very hard, especially when you're talking about music, to get away from Johnny Cash," Phoenix said. "In some ways, I'm aware that I need to kind of, I need to alter that persona. I need to alter my public persona in some ways so that people are going to be open to receiving me for what it is that I'm doing now ... .
"I don't know that this is my look," Phoenix said. "I mean, I just have a beard."
A definite follower of his music career is brother-in-law Casey Affleck, an Oscar-nominated actor himself who is making a documentary about Phoenix's career shift.
Affleck has been chronicling Phoenix's recording efforts and had a camera crew following him as he did publicity to promote "Two Lovers."
"It's a really interesting time in his life," Affleck said. "I've known him for a long time.
He's always made music, he's always talked about doing this. He's finally doing it."
Added Phoenix, in a joking aside: "He just wants me to fall on my face, and he wants to ... laugh about it."
One person not laughing is "Two Lovers" director James Gray, who collaborated with Phoenix twice previously with "The Yards" and "We Own the Night." Gray said he took it personally that Phoenix did not let him know he was quitting movies, and was disappointed that he wouldn't have another chance to work with the actor again.
In "Two Lovers," Phoenix plays an emotionally messed-up Brooklyn man living at home with his parents after a bad breakup. He embarks on an obsessive flirtation with a self-destructive neighbor (Gwyneth Paltrow) while courting the safe, sensible daughter (Vinessa Shaw) of a businessman interested in buying his parents' dry-cleaning operation.
Like Gray, co-star Shaw said she was disheartened to learn that Phoenix was abandoning his movie career.
"I really felt that disappointment that he's no longer going to be sharing his gift of acting, but whatever he wants to do with his life, whatever makes him happy," Shaw said.
Having seen how much strain acting puts on Phoenix, who stays in character throughout his shooting days, Gray said he takes the actor at his word that he's through with Hollywood.
"Toward the end, I was coming to the set at six (o'clock) in the morning, and he would be not due on set for another three hours, but he would be there in the corner with tears rolling down his cheeks," Gray said. "And I'd say, `What's the matter?' And he'd say, `I'm preparing for the day.' You never see anyone work that hard."
And if that weren't enough, Gray said he's seen Phoenix's elaborate home studio.
"If he's not serious about it," Gray said, "then he really went to ridiculous lengths."

True and I usually dont but the off chance that I do put on the radio its just every song is either a lil wayne song or a lil wayne collabo and usually involving tpain who i really can not stand.
Listen to Lupe's albums or mixtapes and tell me he does not respect the older generation or the rappers he grew up listening to. Not liking or listening to Tribe does not make him anti architects or whatever you call him.

other than his manager or his parents youre are the one person on earth that has defended him regarding his tribe debacle...you have to be a groupie whos related to him or something
I am not defending him. He should have never even attempted to perform that song if he did not know it.
But I am not going to judge his music on who he liked as a kid or who he did not listen to. Hell Lupe says he listened to 8ball and I can not stand his music. Who cares? Too many emotions being attached to music.
"...ooo he didn't listen to the music I listened to growing up...he has no cred...can not listen to him...my feelings are hurt...he sucks!"
BTW your the one who brought up the Tribe incident as if that indicates the level of quality of his album or his ability to rap. That would be equivalent to me saying Carter III sucks cause Wayne kissed Baby on the lips.
by way...Lil Wayne was on Around the Horn today and brought so much enthusiasm and insight to the show
great decision by the producers

never said that...hes douchebag for not knowing who tribe is and the comments he made
i dont know why he makes incredibly boring music
so i've had mobb deep in my rotation again lately and sometimes i forget how good shook ones part II is.
definitely one of my top 5 all-time tracks.

he stopped by our spot a couple times...digs knows him fairly well...he actually moved to ny (has since moved back) and had kids which is why he gave up his tickets

thats cool man i really dug Eastern Conference Records while they were putting out some great shtein imo. i wanted to ask you, someone upped Digs first album i guess Spacewalking on that music site i go to, how does it compare to Boomboxcutter? Whoever upped it, hasnt been back online to share it.
its not an album....he only had singles guest spots and compilation tracks until his LP last year
i like sneaker money
been on a Biggie kick lately & Das Efx
Also got Styles P's new mix tape with Big Mike - Phantom Empire - hard

I forwarded a link on here about Roth when he was on the cover of XXl before he came out. My cousin found this dude
the song I love College is corny as hell but its mainstream and the college kiddies like it--hence the #3 slot on Itunes
The a milli remix joint he did on the greenhouse effect was hot and his best yet imo. He does have some slick beats on his new album that should do well on the radio. I give him no higher than a B-
matter of fact here are some of his 1st jams you wont find anywhere...these were his first songs ever done in the studio in philly on callowhill st

wow you guys are white
LOL, there it is. I'll say this, his style and voice is exactly what Eminem was before he got old and fat. My wifey likes the album, so that tells IGY something. Either way, i'll listen to the new album, i was just curious what IGY's take was, and why the farg it took 4 days for him to come up with that response.
ive been in ocean city all weekend and forgot my liver helmet
ha. I havent even been down yet, thanks to people dying.

and dont ever compare asher roth to eminem again...eminem at the top of his game was one of the best...and was arguably the only white mc ever to garner respect and admiration of black hip-hop artists and fans
asher farging roth is a soundclick/myspace safe for white people bucks county loser who was warned by his CPA father and his alcoholic/anorexic witch of a mother to "refrain from any further dalliance in the monstrously philadelphia congo bongo thick lipped chest beating negroid savagery that youve come to like so much"...but they changed their minds after asher took first prize at his poconos summer camp talent show for his lip synched version of coolios fantastic voyage complete with a spastic attempt at the running man and overexagerated b boy stances
he makes safe rap that allows suburban whites to broadly exxagerate their like of rap music to be "down" but at the same time not associate with negroids
hes a worse version of paul barman (if thats even possible)
id also like to add that i am completely shocked that reese adores him...munson cant be to far behind
my wifey likes the album. Should i abort her?
no keep her around...people like her are supposed to like him...just dont ever compare him to eminem again

did i say he was him? He has the same voice, which is really white, and the trying to talk like triumph the dog like Eminem is joke.
i dont hear the voice...but even including eminem in the same sentence as him insinuates he has talent or skill...i suspect youre saying they both sound white...just compare him to paul barman who is his true contemporary and call it a day
really we should take this discussion to the emo music thread munson started...i feel dirty talking about this clown in a hip-hop thread

wow crack kills
your racist, over-exaggerated Steven King novel up there couldnt be more hateful and was pointless as usual..and Sea...the fact that you got scared of igy not liking him is funny by your last post....like who you want to like kid
and igy--one day you'll wake up out of your biased, has to be ghetto, jeans to the ankles thug only-black hip hip coma that youre alseep in. Ive met the kid on numerous occasions and Roth couldnt be more normal of a kid--which is a good thing. Yes he is white and has some flow skills-- and that eats you alive which is hysterical and little depressing at the same time
All I did was point him out to some heads in here as an up and comer. I personally think he sucks at freestyling, but he can write and work a melody...matter of fact I even rated the him a B- on one of my posts...but whatever..I have a better chance chatting with a box of juju bees than trying to get points across to you
yeah tribe called quest de la soul pharcyde souls of mischief and a thousand other rap groups are so ghetto...talk about racist...the fact that you think unless youre a white rap artist youre ghetto is sickening
lol at that clown ever freestyling in his life....you farging dont know one single thing about hip-hop music or culture and you certainly dont know me...so take your emo diatribes and pathetic outbursts back to millersville or whereever the hell youre from

As bad as it is, his lyrical ability and flow is 10 times better than what it was in Just Lose It. I hope the album is decent. If its anything like the songs he did for the 8 Mile Soundtrack Ill bust a nut.
Jadakiss's new album sucks. I just don't get him. He kills guest verses and can put together a hot song here and there but its almost like every single song is the same thing looped over and over. He even has a song which is almost a direct sequel of "Why?". Nas killed the song but cmon Jada....show some growth. The production sucked too.
Joe Budden's new stuff is pretty damn good if your into darker themes and no real commercial club music.
Heard a snippet of Lupe's new song...hope his album drops this summer.

New Eminem album (Relapse) leaked:
Considering how bad Encore was this is miles better. Maybe also cause "We Made You" the lead single is so terrible I had very low expectations. But it is growing on me. Just the song "Underground" is better than everything from Encore. Hopefully this is the right direction for him towards what he used to be.
Dre's production is out of this world on it. If he ever releases Detox it should be great.
Im a big Em fan but I think this new twangy flow he has on almost every song is horrendous..
eminem has been a trainwreck for the better part of a decade...and i doubt hes turned it around now

Actually that's what I thought too. Trust me I hated Encore. I know he has dropped off far below where he once used to be but this album is good. The Dre production is top notch and aside from 2-3 songs that weird accent is not there.
Someone mentioned beatbox. This Beardyman is pretty incredible though. A savant....

If most of the CD is up to that quality, it might be worth buying.
its not.....its garbage
then again your taste in hip-hop borders on catastrophic so youll probably love it
I'm curious about what 'catastrophic taste' entails.
For example, does the Earth explode if Munson proclaims a love of Insane Clown Posse? Now THAT would be catastrophic...
hahahahah I forgot they were an actual rap group.
I remember them from WWF waaaaaaaaay back in the day.
IGY's just mad because Handlebars was rapped by a bunch of white people and you know how he feels about the whites.
they cant rap?
Not about 40's, blunts, bitches and ho's, or how much money they have. Not usually.
not at all....in 30+ years of hip-hop music you dont even need both hands to find the number of good white emcees
you need soul to rap and most white people simply dont have it
its why black music trumps white music on every possible level
If you're counting rock as black music, than I agree.
Rap barely ranks above country , death metal, Yanni on the "music that usually isn't any good" scale.
I'll take 4 guys playing an actual instrument and actually singing about things that actually effect most humans (you know, most of us that don't have a 40 million dollar bank account) over 98% of rap any day. Actual. Actually.
you couldnt be any more clueless about rap and werent even born when most of the good stuff came out...but i wouldnt expect 17 year old white trash like you to know or like anything about it except eminem...i have to imagine hes an absolute hero to you
I'm happy to have played a role in encouraging this 'conversation'.
Apparently, if something was made before you were born, you must not have ever heard it.
I'll take a good rock song over a great rap song any day.
But whatever you say Igs. Whatever you say.
theres just no chance you would ever run in any sort of circle that would include someone who put you onto golden age rap music
go back to your trailer and blast some good emo music that speaks to you like nothing else can
yeah, White Snake rules over NWA
white snake definitely sings about things that effect most humans
Hair Metal might be worse than death metal.
And farg old school rap...Motown is where it's at.

i guess but both are pretty awful
why does he have like five different accents on the record
the jar jar binks accent....the gay jamaican....the spanish....the scottish leprechaun....ect...ect...ect....WHY...
any possibilities the album had were ruined the second he decided to do this
hey em the rape shtein = not shocking anymore
and "swallowin a klonopin" = horrocore circa 1994
eminem again solidifies his standing as the biggest waste of talent in music history with this album....'stan' is the only great thing hes done this decade....all his classic stuff is from the 90's
that said i dont see how fans of sslp & mmlp wont love this...its no real great departure from those....uneven at best filled mostly with garbage mixed in with a few good songs and some world class flows
but really no one not currently attending high school (ie munson) should be singing the praises of this album
whatever drive and unique characteristics he possessed to take his career to the level it once was is gone....even a casual listener like me knows this...the obligatory and poorly delivered bevy of multis...shock value with no shock or value
the problem is its not 2001 anymore its 2009 and his shtein is old and played out...the only people genuinely enthralled by this rugged prom night rap are fresh out of puberty....the ones in their twenties pumping it up are either aspiring mediocre battle rappers wannabe battle rappers battle rap afficionados who can on call recite the names of every victim of jin or delaware/midwest trailer park kids whose dream was always to grow up and be a cypress hill roadie...
they pop a couple vicodin down a 12 pack of olympia and smoke bit of weed while they put the record on a loop to memorize every lyric so they can impress their syphllis infested wiggette girlfriends
Issues.
wiggette = funney

That just means I'd have to use several fingers. Big whoop.
I think the best part of IGY's rant is that not one person here has "sung the praises" of Relapse.

Me too, they're cool as hell. I found a small box turtle the other day on the job. Fascinating little creature. I got a pic of him and moved him 100 yards or so away from our site so we wouldnt' step on him.

not even close to a freestyle...that being said he does body the farg out of the alchemist beat...to bad he doesnt rap like that on his albums
why isnt he rapping like he's turkish? I'm confused

why isnt he rapping like he's turkish? I'm confused
because 12 year old trashed out juggalos like munson who dont know the difference btwn sugar cane and big daddy kane wont get funny feelings in their bathing suit areas if he did
hes got 6 songs on the album that I can play over and over and still dig, the rest are very mediocre to wear his voice annoys the shtein out of me. Im not down with all this hype on 3am either

Hello
Underground w/Ken Kaniff--that Ammadeus chorus crap he could of done without
Bagpipes from Baghdad--which is the the most knockin beat on the album
i broke out Liquid Swords out of the cd case this week. Still my favorite Wu cd followed quickly by Raekwons's first offering. shtein is making me feel old realizing when it came out.
i never got on liquid swords like most people...the first five songs are off the charts...but the rest is just ok (when compared to wu standards)...the beats are not near soulful as on the other records...to much loud squeals and guitar
dont get me wrong its still a certified classic but i dont think its near the level of cuban links iron man or 36 chambers
I got Liquid Swords about a week before i got Cuban Links. 36 Chambers is officially a Comp, and i cant put it in the same 1st round of Wu Individual CD's. Liquid Swords reminds me of just riding around on blunt rides whether it be the back roads in Pa/De or down driving on the beach sparking up before going into OC
That said, Liquid Swords wasnt as solid all the way thru as Cuban Links, but it always holds a special part in my eardrums. Sounded great with two 12in Kicker Solos, and Kicker Revolution 6's and tweeters
oh youre talking solo efforts
1. ironman
2. cuban links
3. liquid swords
Ironman was #3 on my charts
1. Liquid Swords

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmQZtfx51k
great call...that song is so underrated not just in wu circles but in hip hop
as is this...arguably the best wu song ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0yldYeM7dA
I always loved the Orig Rainy Days, i never heard this remix. Laid back like Biggy was mixing it.
I'll never forget my buddy buying Iron man, i got Cuban Links right after that, and then Liquid swords. Its like i found god in music form. Wu was off the charts.
thats weird cause they came out like a year apart and cuban links was first
cuban links came out in august cause i remember me and a bunch of my boys got it and then road tripped up to upstate ny in the mountains and listened to it all week gettin blunted and pounding mickeys on a lake
rap will never be the same no matter what munson says
weed time man, my memories are still fuzzy
I think they came out 11 months apart or somewhere around there.
cuban links im positive was summer 95...not sure of the month but i think july
iron man was winter 96 if i recall correctly

Then again, I still don't know if there has been another song with this much talent in it, DJ Marly Marl, Kane, Biz, G Rap, masta ace, Craig G...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSoXHUlwraU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSoXHUlwraU)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LLN553cFFE
arguably best video ever too
:paranoid masta ace, special ed and buckshot, better then g rap, biz, marly, kane???
Great video but talent wise ya can't even come close to compare.
q-tip way better producer than marley
master ace way better mc than craig g
special ed better than big daddy kane
buckshot better kool g rap
i know what youre saying in terms of legendary status and influence but as actual mc's crooklyn wins (and production)...other than nas kool g rap might be the most overrated mc ever...and while big daddy kane is great i also think a tad overrated...craig g is plain wack and biz isnt even on the symphony
special ed and buckshot at the top of their games were pretty much off the charts
Don''t feed that to the squirrels IGY. You dumb white bitch.

Damn...I can't think of the words to express how bad that sucked.
Smut Peddlers? Who the farg? The end of that video is pretty amazing. Amazing in the fact I feel embarrassed for anyone that thinks that was dope.
I just expect more from hip-hop artists. That was crap. Nothing new, nothing creative, that beat was sub-par and I'm an El-P fan, and the end of that video set back ghetto blacks 4,000 more years. Jesus.
yeah alchemist is trash...he made a couple amazing beats back in the 90's...work the angles might be the most famous underground song of all time and open mic night was real good but overall he blows
very few whiteys got soul and he aint one of them

That is borderline wigger shtein. You don't happen to wear a hoodie, do you? :)
no that was al...i forgot about that...its ok...he probably has one or two decent other beats that im not thinking of but overall hes weak...his shtein is way to clean sounding...and his loops so boring...and most of all like i said theres just no soul to his shtein...because most of his beats are made with a computer and not sampled

well if you really wanna get into it almost every rock guitar riff ever played was stolen from a black man...see led zepplins catalog for the most agregious examples...not that i care...i just like to bring it up when whitey inevitably brings up the all rap music is stolen card...whats also laughable is that they act like they could in a million years produce a good rap beat...
but to answer your question directly sampling does not automatically put soul into your music however sampling soul music and being able to recognize what would make a soulful beat does matter...and most caucasions dont have this sense in them
certainly even if you dont know rap you know that making music off a computer is not a good thing...right?
igy..no joke..are you white or black?
if youre white we got some problems here, but if youre black a lot of your comments would shockingly make some sense
Making a serviceable rap beat is NOT hard. Hell, making a good rap beat is not hard. If I can do it, anyone can do it.
But you can't do it so once again you have no point.
Yeaaaaaaaaah I was a percussionist before I took up the sea shell necklaces and a guitar. But try again.
I'm sure your hiphop beats are amazing. Just stop.
so can anyone verify if igy is white or black?
He's just as white as I am. And I am pretty farging pasty.
yep-thanks for some more ammo
I said nothing about my hip hop beats being sick. But they're not that hard to make. Get some percussion instruments around you and find a good progression. Add some well timed bass, and you've got yourself a beat. And then you can pretty much repeat that beat for 2/3rds of the song, with some minor alterations to make it sound cool here and there. Not that hard.

i cant make a good hip-hop beat and i know more about hip-hop than maybe anyone on the planet...munson you white trash POS you dont even know what a good rap song is much less be able to make one....fyi you cant do it with just live instruments...you can make a good rap song if you have someone who can rhyme great but its impossible to make to a good rap beat with just live instruments...

hes trying to shed his raised by an alcoholic in a trailer park skin and i applaud him for that but jesus christ kid baby steps...you cant jump from a delaware tp to bed stuy...go from like from dover to glassboro first and see how you fare
Haha false. You'd be suprised what sounds you can get out of a very expensive keyboard, a couple of guys on some marching band basses, some marimbaphones and vibraphones, and a piano. Not to mention the plethora of other instruments there are at hand that I'm sure you've never heard of.
Fortunately enough, you don't need fake audio to make a good rap beat. Now go farg yourself because you are probably a terrible musician period.
jesus christ have you read one word we have talked about...keyboards are the death of hip-hop...when people started making beats from keyboards and computers and the like the dirty dusty sound of golden age hip-hop went bye bye...you cannot make consistently good hip-hop music without sampling
its akin to saying good rock music is keyboard and synthesizer based as opposed to guitars and drum based
you know nothing about real rap music and werent even alive for most of it...so please stop talking about shtein you dont know about its insulting...you dont see me in the smoking gearhead and heavy metal threads spouting nonsense...so take your lilly white scissor cut tank top seashell wearing what up dude talking parliament smoking ass out of here
Hahahahah yeah you're right. Sampling other peoples music is the only way to make good rap music, and trying to make yourself with real instruments has no soul to it.
It's people that think like YOU that killed rap music. And basically made it not music at all.
Honestly, do the world a favor, take 8 Tylenol PMs and go jump in your swimming pool. Or at the very least please don't ever, ever attempt to make any music. Ever.
Seriously. Leave the music-making to the professionals. Like Munson.
If I was a pro at it I certainly wouldn't be posting here. I'd be on tour opening up for DMB.
That much is painfully obvious.
You'd love every second of it.
I really wish someone would light you on fire.
If someone lit you on fire, or if you got stung by a jelly fish, I'd piss on you.
Give it time.
listened to relapse a few times this week. pretty much straight garbage. there's a few songs that had me bobbin my head on the way to work but its almost unlistenable with all of the incest/rape themes and retarded voices. good chance i'll never listen to the entire album ever again.

Alright, Masta Ace balances himself out cause he's in both.
Special Ed better the Kane? Are you out your damn mind? Kane's line "put a quater in yo ass cause you played yourself is better then Ed's entire Album. Special Ed had one hit, one.
Buck shot better then Kool G Rap? thats a tough one, G Rap was one of the original hardcore/street rappers. IMO The guy is gold compared to Buckshot.
QTip better producer the Marley... Come on man Marley has been producing records since the 80's he ran the juice crew, who in my opinion has had more talent then any other group of artists ever. I don't know too much about Q-Tip's producing, has he produced anything as good as "my melody" and Eric B for President" to just name two. He is smooth as silk on the mic though.
Craig G, yeah can't argue there. I heard some of the joint he put out with Marley Marl last year and it was blah :paranoid ok it was :puke.
Sorry about sayin Biz was on there, but I think him, shan and Shante are better then Special Ed easily. Ed, IMO was a one hit wonder.
q-tip produced all tribes stuff which makes him better than marley even if he didnt do other stuff like...

and diamond d's kiss which is ridonkulous but youtube doesnt seem to have
pete rock
primo
q-tip
and maybe rza
thats the short list of best producers ever
if you think special ed has just one song then you never rwally heard him...his first two albums are an emceeing clinic...with the possible exception of snoop in his prime and q-tip no one was smoother and flowed better than special ed...he doesnt even rap he talks on the mic...its an effortless flow that few people have ever been able to duplicate
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXLCHNkeVUo
Q-tip was not the only person to produce Tribe's stuff my man, Ali Shaheed, Skeff and Large Professor played a huge role in those albums. So the couple of albums Q-Tip produced catapults him above Marley? IMO I don't think so. Believe me I love Q-Tip I love almost all his stuff, but come on, Marley is still hittin with the KRSOne Hip hop lives.
Theres no doubt Dj Premier is top dog. I would argue QTip more then RZA in your top 4, Mine would go:
#1 DJ Premier
#2 Marley Marl
#3 Pete Rock
#4 Dr. Dre
#5 Large Professor
Ed may flow his rhymes, you still cannot compare him to Kane, plain and simple. IMO He can't hold his jock strap.
ali did little to none of tribes stuff
skeff anslem was a board man not a beat maker...and large pro did keep it movin and nothing else
pete rock primo and q-tip were arch rivals and best friends when it came to beat diggin in ny circa early 90's...it was an incredible competition amongst them and they are universally known as the masters...vic and the beatnuts are on close second tier to them but no one else comes close...it was a magical era at record shows back then with these guys trying to one up each other...tip had the legendary record collection too...over 30 thousand records in his house that he lost in the infamous fire at his home

Ok, just curious...if you were putting a CD together of your top 15 Hip-Hop songs...which ones would they be?
In no particular order:
1. Time's Up- O.C.
2. Dwyck- Gangstarr
3. The Hiatus- Diamond D
4. How you want it, you got it- De La Soul
5. Vital Nerve- Company Flow
6. Make Room- Tha Alkaholiks
7. We've got the jazz- Tribe Called Quest
8. Shook Ones pt. II- Mobb Deep
9. Love's gonna getcha- Boogie Down Productions
10. How many emcees- Black Moon
11. Crooklyn- Crooklyn Dodgers
12. C.R.E.A.M.- Wu-Tang
13. Looking over a city-Latyrx
14. How I could just kill a man- Cypress Hill
15. I got it bad ya'll- King T
shtein....its hard to come up with lists...and I'm sure there are others that would make it...but many of those songs had special meaning to me so they qualified...anyways.
my top 15 will be coming eventually and im pretty sure latyrx and company flow will not be on it
Quote from: ice grillin you on July 08, 2009, 02:46:58 PM

Oh, I'm sure they won't be Mr. Smalls.
i believe at least two of the rest of your list is in my top 71 though
also i dont know if its the version youre talking about but if not check out the diamond hiatus remix with the cru....its light years better than the original
That list is atrocious.
I never said dopest hip-hop songs of all time...I just said my top 15...which a case can be easily made for another 20 songs to make the top 15 as well.

2. Dwyck- Gangstarr
Why.
what do you mean...or am i missing a joke?
not my favorite or anything but its an unreal song that you really cant argue being in anyones top 10
I don't get it at all. Gang Starr is sick, but I can't stand that song. Maybe I'm missing something. the first verse by Greg Nice just kills the entire thing for me. It's stuff a 7 year old could come up with and sounds terrible. Maybe its just me, but I don't get why I always see that song on lists like his.
not all lyrics have to be superscientifical madness to be enjoyable...i think all three verses are just about perfect for thwta they are and the best is one of the best ever
my main problem with the song is that it was so overplayed back in the day that i dont care to listen to it anymore
anyway to each his own i was just shocked that of all the songs he listed thats what you picked because there is some truly horrific and puzzling stuff on there hwoever dwyck defintiely isnt one of them
my taste is just retarded I guess, i dont like Tribe either... i'm down with Gang Starr, De La Soul, Pharcyde etc there's just some things I don't like for whatever reason
Most of that list if not all are the seeds that blossomedd my love for hip-hop or take me back to that part of my life when it was hip-hop 24-7 and it was dope.
Now days, the shtein tries to be what it was back then...but, young lads now days won't get that feeling we did growing up with it.
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Eric B & Rakim, LL Cool J, Special Ed, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, 3rd bass, just to name a few.
Regarding Dwyck and Pete Nice's lyrics...I think its simplicity is what makes his verse so dope. 'Casious clay, I say butta, you say parkay"....what the farg, right? But, those lyrics are universal. Also, the way premiers scratches at the end puts a nice cherry on top of that classic.
By the way....
How I could just kill a man and DWYCK were the first 12" singles that I ever purchased on my wannabe D.J. career. I was a big cypress hill junkie in high school.
For gangstarr fans...'who's gonna take the weight' gets over looked a lot by 'step into the arena' and 'just to get a rep'....but that was just as good.

me and my boys when we are drinking and listening to beats always bring up the fact that we grew up at exaxtly the right time...not way back when rap was basically in nyc parks and was fairly primitive...and not late 90's till now after the sampling era died...but right smack in the middle of the golden age...you can try and tell people how it was but like you said its just a feeling that you had and not something that can be put in words
other than the obvious choice of mass appeal my favorite gangstarr track is here today gone tomorrow...its the most slept on song in hip-hop history
I do have to say IGY smalls that your taste in hip-hop is interesting. I may not agree with some of the songs you consider dope, but I can respect it. Here today, gone tomorrow is an example.
What do you think of one of my favorite Rakim songs "Mahogany"? Dope beat, dope rhythm, cool story, not the most popular, but dope nonetheless.
I just youtubed 'Mahogany' and on the side there was one for 'No Omega'.
Now that has old hip-hop sound. That was a dope sound as well.
Stop saying dope.
I can't. I say it even now....20 years after it was dope to say dope.
mahogany is so good..rakim is such a pimp on the song
i'm not a big jay-z fan but i kinda like d.o.a. but that's probably because of my extreme hatred for t-pain & everybody like him.
I don't even know who T-Pain is and I'm glad I don't.
same....ive heard of him a million times but have no idea who he is
he's the guy who can't sing so he uses that gadget to make himself sound like a robot.
terrible.
That's not hip-hop.

Im with you on that, i hate getting a copy that changes in a week when it comes out.
actually i said farg it, the quality of the one released was very good, its good, very good
the one leaked is no different than the actual release will be....the release comes out tuesday
its gonna be awesome to go to a store for the first time in probably three years to get a rap cd im really lookin forward to and havent heard...just like the golden years...except back then i wouldnt even have known if it was really coming out....that was the best going to the store on tuesday having no cluie what was coming and out and copping an album that you had been seeing ads in the source for
Kid Cudi: Man on the Moon: End of the Day
Awesome production and great concepts but his rapping fails him somewhat. He has strong ideas but he just isn't a capable enough rapper to really bring it together. I found myself wishing other more talented rappers would be rapping over these beats.
whos on the production

Kanye and RATATAT that I know of from the top of my head. I am not sure of all the producers but the sound is a bit different and refreshing for a rap album these days. Cudi is not even a bad writer but as a rap lyricist he falls short.

Necro loves him some MJ
I used to listen to Necro, got a bit too crazy, but he had some great beats. Underground (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUJ21B1FVp0)
That said, Horrorcore as a whole is basically rap's version of goths
when it was a harmless sub genre back in 93-94 its wasnt bad...gravediggaz album is an all time great...now its not even rap
i still throw necro on every now and then but that shtein is more funny than anything.

I dislike pretty much all forms of hip-hop anymore, at least the mainstream stuff, but the new Ludacris song "How Low" is farging fantastic. Actually pretty much anything dude ever does will keep me from flipping the station.

http://www.thisis50.com/profiles/blogs/50-cents-shocking-slimdown (http://www.thisis50.com/profiles/blogs/50-cents-shocking-slimdown)
when i woke up this morning to check my email that was the #1 story on comcasts homepage
It's gonna be great when he's 125 pounds and still a terrible actor and rapper.
even though 50 seems to be a product of the eminem main stream machine, he's a legit rapper.
Mumbles McGoo could rap his way out of a paper bag.
I actually don't even believe that, I just wanted to say Mumbles McGoo. I think 50 is ok, with a "joint" here and there that I really dig, but mostly he's nothing special at all and the 2-3 years of over-exposure that he got was just awful.
hes legit in the sense that hes a valid rapper not some minstrel show southern mc...but hes not legit in that hes any good
he has two good songs 'how to rob' and 'many men' (in the club is a great beat not a great song)
the rest of his stuff isnt cringe inducing or anything its mostly just bleh...his problem is that he isnt skilled like an eminem and he isnt funny entertaining or smart like a kanye...hes just kinda bleh
How to Rob was the shtein.
if you put some white powder on his lips, he now looks exactly like dave chappelle in the crackhead skits.
eninem's new album is surprisingly really good. best he's come out with since marshall mathers LP.
Why is it surprising? He's good, isn't he?
yeah i like him but he hasn't put out a quality album in like 8 years. thought he might me done.
I stuck my meatcicle in this game like a rapist, they call me Slim Roethlisberger
I go beserker than a fed up post office worker
unless you are a teenage girl or an icp fan he hasnt put out anything good since 'anyman'....which was 1999
biggest waste of talent in music history
biggest waste ever

Recovery is surprisingly good. Not as good as the first 3 albums but miles better than the last two. Love the production. Finally something other than Dre or Eminem himself producing.
In all seriousness, as someone who really liked Marshall Mathers, liked The Eminem Show, and kind of enjoyed Slim Shady...will I enjoy Recovery? I couldn't get into Encore and didn't even bother to give Relapse a try.
yes. you will.
a few selected songs...slim shady ep...and any man are the only good things eminem has ever done
Black Sheep's Get With This, one of my all timers, is the farging soundtrack for a Kia commercial with hampsters dressed hip hop.

I'm watching the 30 for 30 about the Raiders made by Ice Cube and its pretty good so far. A little football mixed in with a lot of the hip hop beginnings. Chuck D, Ice Cube, Ice T, Snoop and others have been on.
I never knew that Red from Friday was a DJ (DJ Pooh)
oh my!
I'm diggin it.

While most people like his first two over The Eminem Show, I like that as his best album. Recovery ranks below his first three but its pretty good. He finally has varied production outside of Dre and himself. Just Blaze really blessed him with some good beats.

Hey IGY, have you, or do you listen to the X-Clan? Their Xodus CD is crazy good, all their stuff is good, but the Xodus cd is thier best imo. Professor X (RIP) was a better hype man then the likes of Flava Flav. Brother J's delivery and voice is sick, the album return to mecca in 05/06 had a couple good cuts, weapon X, vodoo, aragom and locomotion, were good. But they really miss X. tight shtein from these guys.
lol
i dont know whats funnier you asking me if i listen to them or writing an entire paragraph on them and not mentioning to the east blackwards...i used to crush that album when i was in college...it was hilarious scaring all the catholic kids at lasalle with hate whitey rap....its one of the best mmmm 5 or 6 hip-hop records ever made...its everything public enemy should have been
brother j is also on the shortlist of goat mc's
im not really into their 'newer' stuff but if you like it check out dark sun riders...it was a group bro j put together that released a decent album back in 96...i bet youd like it quite a bit
At least we know what IGY looked like in college now

Yes to the east blackwards was good, I was just listening to Xodus in the car yesterday on the way home and thought I'd ask. I have heard dark sun riders. Brother J is just so tight.

the white kids at the ad agency that made that commercial smoke camel lights, drink Ciroc on the company dime, and wouldn't know how to roll a blunt if you dangled a promotion in front of them
Not sure if this counts as hip hop but, i grabbed M.I.A 's new album today, political as farg and i love it.

it does not count as hip hop.

Lil Wayne gets out today!
probably not interesting to anyone else but i reload my iphone with like 20-30 different albums every month or so, just to switch things up. well in the last day i've heard all 3 beats from the final battle scene in 8 mile. next level remix is the first round against lickity, onyx - last dayz is the beat from the second round and everyone knows the shook ones from the final. don't think i ever realized what track the second one was from until i heard it today. anyway, i love that scene so its cool to me.
onyx second album (all we got iz us) is so good and better than their well known debut
agreed, thats what its on.

I don't understand the opposition to Cowboy Troy
He sucks. His corporate masters suck. His fans suck. Everything about him and his world sucks.
was just listening to kanyes new album and hes got a line on there "your team a bunch of urkels....thats why your wins-low"
Wow. Will Smith wouldn't even use that.
he couldnt come up with a line like that if his corny sons life depended on it
Wait, so you think that's an awesome line? This is one of those lines that might have been great 20 years ago when Family Matters was a prime time show and Urkel was relevant in pop culture. Granted, my opinion might change if I heard the whole song or at least that entire verse. But until then I'm going to stand by my original assessment that that line sucks bawls.
its an awesome line
What song?
i dont know i have to go back and check out...it just leaked yesterday and i listened to it today for the first time...i dont even know the names of all the songs as i just have it burnt on a blank cd
I thought you liked album art?
nm....I ignored the part about it leaking yesterday so I guess you can't really buy the album yet.
leaked means when it hits the internet
it doesnt hit stores until tuesday

Wait, so you think that's an awesome line? This is one of those lines that might have been great 20 years ago when Family Matters was a prime time show and Urkel was relevant in pop culture. Granted, my opinion might change if I heard the whole song or at least that entire verse. But until then I'm going to stand by my original assessment that that line sucks bawls.
still wrong

If it was up to me Kanye would stick to producing. Worst mainstream lyricist out there and that's saying something.
Look up "All she wrote". It just leaked, TI and eminem. shteins bangin.
I farging hate both of them
Great, why don't you go play with your zombie action figures in the corner.
HA, thats funny. Seeing most 16 yr olds like that duo. Saying Kanye is bad then pointing out TI is involved with anything good. Thats laughable
TI is too pop for my tastes, but when he decides to be a rapper his lyrics and speed are pretty impressive. Eminem is the best rapper alive.
Kanye is a great producer. He's an awful rapper and an awful singer.
Eminem is the best rapper alive? Keep watching MTV there bud :-D
Yep. It's a toss up between him and John Lennon for best lyricist of all time.
Jay Z is close, but there's something more enamoring about the way Em does it. [igy]Because he's white[/igy]
Are you one of these ding dongs who thinks Wacka Flocka is a great rapper?
I'm torn on deciding who is the best rap analyst between you two.
I'm 1/6th native american. There you go.
oh that's why you have that avatar over......
thats like saying bruce lee was best martial artist whoever lived. just because they are popular doesn't mean they are the best ever.

Right, but music is entirely subjective. Eminem is the best selling solo artist ever, so if there's any evidence at all, it's on my side.
He doesn't have the longevity of Elvis or Jackson, but he's the first person to outsell the Beatles in a decade.
yeah kanye got AWFUL rhymes

Man I promise, she's so self conscious
She has no idea what she's doing in college
That major that she majored in don't make no money
But she won't drop out, her parents will look at her funny
Now, tell me that ain't insecurrre
The concept of school seems so securrre
Sophmore three yearrrs aint picked a careerrr
She like farg it, I'll just stay down herre and do hair
Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs of new Airs
Cause her baby daddy don't really care
She's so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus (a Lexus)
She had hair so long that it looked like weave
Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve
And she be dealing with some issues that you can't believe
Single black female addicted to retail and well
Man I promise, I'm so self conscious
That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches
Rollies and Pasha's done drove me crazy
I can't even pronounce nothing, pass that versace!
Then I spent 400 bucks on this
Just to be like stillupfront's mom you ain't up on this!
And I can't even go to the grocery store
Without some ones thats clean and a shirt with a team
It seems we living the american dream
But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings
We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade us
We trying to buy back our 40 acres
And for that paper, look how low we a'stoop
Even if you in a Benz, you still a stillupfront's mom in a coop/coupe
I say farg the police, thats how I treat em
We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom
We'll buy a lot of clothes when we don't really need em
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
Cause they make us hate ourself and love they wealth
That's why shortys hollering "where the ballas' at?"
Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack
And a white man get paid off of all of that
But I ain't even gon act holier than thou
Cause farg it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou
Before I had a house and I'd do it again
Cause I wanna be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz
I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific
I got a couple past due bills, I won't get specific
I got a problem with spending before I get it
We all self conscious I'm just the first to admit it

and I'm back to tear it up
haters, start your engines
I hear 'em gearin' up
people talk so much shtein about me at barbershops
they forget to get their haircut
OK fair enough, the streets is flarin' up
'cause they want gun-talk, or I don't wear enough
baggy clothes, Reebok's, or Adidas
can I add that he do spaz out at his shows
so say goodbye to the NAACP award
goodbye to the India.Arie award
they'd rather give me the stillupfront's mom-please award
but I'll just take the I-got-a-lot-of-cheese award
I know that people wouldn't usually rap this
but I got the facts to back this
just last year, Chicago had over 600 caskets
man, killing's some wack shtein
oh, I forgot, 'cept for when stillupfront's moms is rappin'
do you know what it feel like when people is passin'?
he got changed over his chains, a block off Ashland
I need to talk to somebody, pastor
the church want time, so I can't afford to pay
the slip on the door, cause I can't afford to stay
my 15 seconds up, but I got more to say
That's enough Mr. West, please no more today

The tapes. Man...I used to have some dope mixed tapes I would dub off multiple cassette tapes (thank you Columbia House). I was a stereo D.J.
I forgot what a key element of that age that was...dubbing shtein off the radio.
We had Flava Fridays and The Wake Up Show. I could sit in a chair, close my eyes...and just lose myself into the music.
did you used to sell mix tapes but now you are an emcee?
:afro
I used to get most of my stuff off of Power 99's top 9 at 9. It's catchy because they use so many 9's. I taped a lot of their Fri and Sat night mixes too. And when I was a teenager I started taping the quiet storm to play when I was with my g/f's.
NAS had me cracking up when he was talking about taping stuff off the radio too......how you'd be going up and down the dial looking for a song and then when you found one you liked, you just missed the intro but you'd tape it anyway. That shtein used to make me mad as hell. That and how the dj would always talk over the beginning and the end of a jam and I'd get that shtein on my tape. But then they'd play some crap song from start to finish without saying a single word.
Thanks for posting that......took me back.
i used to make quiet storm mixes for chicks when i was in grade school too. i called in and dedicated a song to this girl once, and when he asked me my name i got nervous and tried to say roger, but it came out roggie. tony brown laughed at me on air. and the song was keith sweat of course.
ahhh...soft and warm...the quiet storm.
I still rock Jodeci like its nobody business. Whoooo Yeah!
jodeci's lately stevie cover on unplugged is one of the sexiest songs of all time.
incredible dj premier interview
http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/interviews/id.1647/title.timeless-dj-premier-revisits-gang-starrs-step-in-the-arena
QuoteChet Hanks has some talented family members to look up to. Try living with Colin Hanks, star of the "Good Guys," or Rita Wilson, who appeared in "Sleepless in Seattle."
Oh, yeah, and Tom Hanks.
Yet despite being a theater major at Northwestern University, the 20-year-old frat boy isn't exactly going into the family business. Instead, he wants to rap, and the viral hit "Purple and White" has put him on the right track.
Meant to spark school spirit at the Evanston, Ill., school, the song inspired by Whiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow," was posted on Facebook and immediately went through the internet cycle to national recognition.
"I'm getting a lot of love around campus," he told the Daily News by phone Wednesday. "I'm running into people and I hear the song."
The song drops references to Northwestern's school colors, and is laced with lyrics that few outside of the private school would understand.
"White kicks, purple cuts/this is college hitting blunts after hitting books," Chet raps. "Soon as I hit the Keg, the Deuce be getting shut."
While Chet, who goes by the stage name Chet Haze, has been ridiculed on the web for his rap stylings, he doesn't seem bothered by the slights.
"Much love to both the fans and the haters for helping me pop off," he tweeted at around 1 a.m. Thursday morning.
His parents, he said, also are behind him.
"One of the reasons I'm especially so excited right now is because I do have the support of my family ... and they're just as excited as I am," he said, insisting they had never tried to force him into what he calls "the family business."
On Thursday, a new track by Chet appeared on YouTube called "West Side LA." Sounding like something close to a slightly less pop-y LFO, the new track inches away from college drama and gives shouts out to his hometown of Los Angeles, with rhymes about more common hip hop themes than the library: girls, money and haters.
Chet's hoping that his tracks will lead to more recognition and a possible record deal after he drops a full mix tape later this year.
"There's going to be some big things happening," he said.
So far, no professional agent or manager has contacted him, despite his famous last name, but Chet's making do with a little help from his friends.
His current "manager," a frat brother at Northwestern, first contacted a News reporter from the student union. The duo conducted an interview while sitting in a private room at Northwestern's favorite hangout: the library.
Later, his manager called back, saying Chet had one request: Could the News please not publish where he lives?
"Thanks," he said, seemingly genuinely anxious about the request. "We trust you. You seem like good people."

I don't know what that was, but Old Rock always has room in my mental music library. That was pretty dope.
its the song that was looped by marley marl for the music man beat
Ah. Got it.
You know...I always felt I was a little better than the average hip-hop fan when I had listened to the original song that was sampled.
What I always came away with was the fact that these producers were more well rounded in terms of music genres vs just being all-about hip-hop. For whatever reason, it made me feel better knowing that DJ Muggs, Premier, Pete Rock, and all these guys ventured into old stuff. Even if it was to sample it. There is a small bridge that was created with sampling that not too many people crossed going back and listening to the original stuff. I was one of the few.
seems like the one common thread all the great producers had was a parent or parents who were musicians or had huge record collections and were just big fans of music...and back then music was music much more than it became in the 80's and 90's where blacks listended to black music and whites listened to white music...at least from an album standpoint...
so in 1976 it wasnt completely unusual for a 30 year old black man from red hook or queensbridge who listened to the fatback band ohio players and grant green but also steve miller band little feet and mountain...and this is why golden era hip hop has so many different kinds of influences
pretty cool new beasties with nas...their album is fairly solid for new hip hop
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNB8pNqwrKw&feature=player_embedded
Hmm...have to listen to it a few more times...maybe it has to sink in. But it didn't feel like the voices meshed well with the beat. If you would have told me that the lyrics were played over some other beat...that would have explained it better...but...not feeling it too much. Remember, I'm beats and rhythm first...lyrics second.
yeah i know this about you
i lean that way as well...tho not as strongly as you...and i dont thing this song is super special or anything but it makes me feel nostalgic and now a days i cant ask for much more than that

which is probably the worst thing that can be said about hip-hop nowadays. :'(
yeah pretty much which is why i am still making mixes from the late 80's early 90's
Def sounds like the lyrics start falling off the beat a little and then get pulled back in sync and then start falling off again. But that song definitely has an old school vibe going on and maybe that's why the beat and lyrics don't always match up since that was fairly common in a lot of early hip hop....you'd get guys excessively stretching out words to make them fit. Could be some subtle tribute or something to the old days. A+ for fitting in a JJ Fad/Supersonic reference.
i'm trying to expand my hip hop horizons so I downloaded Mos Def's Black on Both Sides which I really like, and The Roots' Things Fall Apart
I like both so far, but need more ideas.
I farging love The Roots. Been following them since my senior year. I know they went a little more mainstream in recent years and it's pretty annoying seeing them as the house band on Jimmy Fallon, but they're still one of my all time favorite groups.
Are you looking for new(er) artists to listen to, older or just anything that you haven't heard before?
older stuff really.

You definitely want to check out The Low End Theory (the album after PIT). It's highlighted by Scenario (which everyone farging knows) but has some great jams on it like Butter and Check the Rhime (one of my all time favorite songs - the beats/instrumentals are sick).
because im pretty sure he appreciates hip-hop as much or more than you

well then i suppose as my hip hop life coach you are doing an awful job

Agreed
Quoteand while all great none of those three songs would crack low ends top three best songs
Also agreed, but Scenario as best I can remember, got the most air play and was their most well known song at the time so I threw that out there because if Sunny wasn't familiar with Tribe before, he might at least recognize that song. Check the Rhime just gets hooked and amped up from the intro through and then they drop that bass hard as hell during the instramentals throughout the song. I farging love it.

well then i suppose as my hip hop life coach you are doing an awful job
clearly i went massively awry somewhere along the way
Quote from: Sgt PSN on May 11, 2011, 02:18:52 PM
I just pulled up Tribe's wiki page just to see what it says about them and noticed this little tidbit towards the bottom.
Quote[edit] Film
The documentary entitled Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest, directed by Michael Rapaport, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2011
A hip hopumentary? In. Havas, let's snuggle on the couch and watch this.
if it ever makes theaters i will be there...supposedly sony picked it up and will put it in at least ny and la this summer buts thats far from a sure thing...we can share a popcorn if you want
the movie is very emo tho...lots of beefin lots of tears going on
I still think it's funny that Michael Rapaport has always been a guy who clearly favored hip hop and black/urban culture but somehow ended up being cast as a loner white dude who joined a skinhead group and shot Tyra Banks in Higher Learning.
That's because he's the whitest, softest, gingeriest dude in hollywood. He's the least hip looking motherfarger on the planet.

maybe it's just that I don't like People's Instinctive Travels because that's the only one I've listened too.
i don't really care to listen to somebody talk about losing their wallet with a beat behind it.
You definitely want to check out The Low End Theory (the album after PIT). It's highlighted by Scenario (which everyone farging knows) but has some great jams on it like Butter and Check the Rhime (one of my all time favorite songs - the beats/instrumentals are sick).
scenario remix >>>>>>> scenario
Agreed

yeah scenario is their biggest song ever...i think everyone knows it...i just think its a bad representation of that album because if you think its great then you might be disappointed because the rest of the album isnt like it and if you dont like it it may steer you away from a record full of classic songs
check the rhyme is all world...its just played out to me ive heard it so many times...same thing can be said for scenario since those are their two biggest singles along with award tour
btw if i have the time tonight i will upload vol. I, II, III of my own personal tribe greatest hits package
Do it.
Also, getting back to some recommendations for Sunny.....I have no idea what he's already listened to, but I imagine that if he wasn't familiar with Tribe until recently, then he probably didn't listen to much hip hop back in the late 80's/early 90's. In which case I recommend:
Eric B & Rakim
EPMD
De La Soul
Digable Planets
Lords of the Underground
Digital Underground
Wu Tang Clan
Gang Starr
Pharcyde
Black Sheep
Cypress Hill
Pete Rock & CL Smooth
If you want to check out the og's, then listen to:
Sugarhill Gang
Grandmaster Flash
Doug E Fresh
Kurtis Blow
Afrika Bambaataa
Whodini
Newcleus
Slick Rick
Run DMC
Beastie Boys
There's probably a bunch of great ones that I'm forgetting, but some of these groups go back 30 years.
For the life of me though, I really don't think anyone who didn't grow up listening to the early years of hip hop could listen to it now and find it enjoyable. It's kind of like igy and old movies. Some of the og's style was so rudimentary and the lyrics didn't make sense half the time, but no one really gave a damn. It didn't have to make sense, it just needed to rhyme.
i've heard stuff from just about all those artists. except Wu-Tang Clan, tell me more?

We've got the jazz...or Jazz (We've got) is my all time favorite ATCQ track. Electric relaxation is my #2.
The Low End Theory is like the Qur'an...a miracle on Earth. That is probably the best way to explain it. If there was ever going to be a religion started from hip-hop it would be based on The Low End Theory.
agreed on jazz....for like the past five years ive been working on my top 150 hip-hop songs of all time which i just finished and jazz came in at #19

Good call on Spoonie G. I love true old school, but there are times when it comes up on shuffle and I just laugh at it because it just seems so "primitive." It's like playing a 360 or PS3 and then hooking up the Atari. It's great, but kind of sucks at the same time.
As for Slick Rick, Beasties and Run DMC.....they don't really belong with either group I listed because they were kind of like the 2nd generation of rap. But their styles are probably closer to the og's than the generation that came up after them so I threw them in with the old timers.
run dmc to a certain extent...they were the bridge from the old to the new school...but definitely not slick rick or the beasties
Yeah, you're right......just checked Slick Rick and figured since he did some stuff with Doug E Fresh that he was around a little earlier but he didn't cut his first album until 88. So yeah, he doesn't belong there. Beasties are kind of in between because they came out right during the transition from old to new, but probably belong with the new too.
you cant judge it by date you have to go by style and nothing about slick rick or the beasties rhyming would be considered old school
i've heard a few friends say they didn't like the new beasties album but i think it's really good. very check your head-ish. not going to have that huge radio hit but it's a great headphones walking around album.

the way I read his letter, he's confessing to robbing and shooting Tupac a couple years before Tupac was killed, and he boasts that he has knowledge about both Biggie and Tupac's deaths, but won't divulge anything yet.
here's the article I read
http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/ktla-inmate-confesses-to-shooting-tupac,0,7066977.story
Also...his address is listed if anyone wants to send him some mail.

anybody listen to the new Jay-Z/Kanye album?
some songs are flat awful and some songs are good. overall its a strange sounding album.
i've listened to the entire thing once and doubt i'll ever listen to it again. some started out okay but then some sort of c&c music factory shtein happens. wasn't a single track that made me want to go back and listen again. and that sweet baby jesus song. oh my god.
thats the problem with kanye, his last album was so good and now this is so ridiculously awful.

ive never been to one...in fact in my entire life ive probably been to only 20 rap concerts and 17 of them were atrocious....rap just doesnt translate live at all...back in the day it was worth going to some just to hear the dj's spin pre show and btwn acts...but now they dont even bump good music when they do that
Without a doubt. Rap concerts only translate somewhat well in small venues.
even then the sound is usually awful
I went to see Snoop a couple years ago, the place was really small, I thought it was pretty dope. Only rap show I've been to, I doubt I'd go again. All the openers were pretty bad, for the first hour and a half you saw little puffs of pot smoke go up from the crowd, and the second he walked on stage the entire place was hotboxed, pretty hilarious

map of NYC by rappers
http://www.verysmallarray.com/?p=1479
cool idea...but the artists they choose to list is so bizzare
i also realize its not one of the boroughs but how do you not include long island (public enemy - rakim - de la ect...)
I knew it would fail the igy fanboy test, not least because even I know that Yonkers should have been included: DMX and Jadakiss got started up there.
they list jin...a horrible mtv/106 and park battle rapper who has never made a single good song in his life.....oh and hes from miami but lived in ny
and i wont even mention the numerous other acts they listed who not more five people in the world have ever heard of
but i dont see a diamond d beatnuts organized konfusion or digable planets or many other hip-hop legends
then they list young mc who was born in england moved to new york and then spent his entire musical career in los angeles
but no guru who is from boston but spent his entire career and adult life in brooklyn...or slick rick who is also born in england but moved to the bx when he was like 10
like i said cool idea....but the execution leaves a lot to be desired....theres just no rhyme or reason to it
i suggest letting me do it next time

Just after Fresh Prince, right?
Just out of curiosity....what are you basing your list on? Structure, beat, lyrics, flow, message, social/political relevance?
just my taste...these are my favorite songs period....theres no in depth thinking going here....its just what i think sounds the best
all the factors you mentioned certainly go towards my liking of each song but none of them were considered when making the list....if that makes any sense at all
my tapes from when i was a young buck recording shtein off the radio...cosmic kev power 99
(https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/543520_3622467480777_878202293_n.jpg)
Hahahaha......I hated taping shtein off the radio because the DJ either kept talking over the start of the song I wanted to record or he'd jump in and start talking towards the end and farg that shtein up. Either that or I'd get distracted and wind up taping like 20 minutes of music I didn't even want so then I'd have to rewind and try to find the right place on the tape to start recording again. And naturally while I was doing that, a jam would come on that I really wanted.
worse than the mouthpiece was the actual dj who would cut and fade every song so that you had to listen to the first few bars of the opening verse 700 times....then finally the song would run...
I didn't mind it when they mixed it up a little bit, but yeah, sometimes they were out of control. When they played out the first few bars of a song though, that was the perfect warning for you to get your finger ready to hit record. Worst thing was when you were in the middle of recording a song and ran out of tape. Or if you knew that you were getting close to running out, you were sweating it and trying to peep in through the little piece of clear plastic on the tape deck to see how much tape was left as you're recording. Getting a recording with minimal talking on the front and back ends of a song was like hitting the lottery.
i had a dual casette deck so i didnt have to worry about running out of tape...i also had friends who were doing the same thing so bwtn all of us we would trade back n forth and get the best recording

this thrift shop song is pretty funny, although now looking at the video i wish i didn't know what he looked like. still funny shtein though.

by pretty bad, i meant awful, not good.
reese, it all sounds scripted...pre-rehearsed. It lacks emotional content. Screaming and bobbing your head does not make up for lack of substance.
Give me Mos Def, Juice, Canibus, Iriscience, Eminem, and Black Thought.
All you hear is passion in the freestyles and are creative. Fun to listen to.

So you're saying you'd tie her up and make her watch you and Sarge go at it?
And she'd love it.
From what I've read about her, she might.
the freestyle actually isnt bad at all or at least way better than you would think it would be
It's going to do nothing but piss me off and I'm disappointed in you.
You know, I don't drop this word too often because, well obviously. But will you two Romes shut the farg up? I could watch Allison Brie eat human flesh while punching me and everyone I know in the dick for hours and still have an erection. Because Allison Brie. Romes.

I do. Run to the nearest volcano, find the lava pit, and jump in. This is not something anyone should be listening to.
*if you absolutely must, go to a record store, buy the single, put the needle on instrumental, and record. I don't know any other way.
is it even allowed to be called an instrumental when the beat is made by a computer and sounds like the music from an 80's atari game
This isn't music. T.I. Shouldn't be called a rapper.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but T.I. is not rap.
Mannnn, you can't hurt my feelings, and yes TI is rap music.... He may not be the kind of rap we like or grew up with or how we here at CF associate what and who "real" rappers are, but he is one of the living embodiments of what the genre has transformed into today, like it or not.
That's a pretty terrible genre, then.
ZOD, you know you're defending T.I. right?
By the way, not the 'whole' genre has become that which you state. Mos Def is still alive. I think the whole thing goes to hell when he goes.
LOL yep... In skillz Mos Def, Talib Kweli, etc got almost everybody in the game beat; however that's not what rap is nowadays; it's popularity. You want that skillz in rap defining stuff better invent a time machine back to 1988 and take me with you. It's 2013 and I get much much more requests for TI songs that Mos Def and I dj at 6 places per month up and down the east coast from PA to FL. In 30 years of doing this shtein I got Mos Def requests twice - once for "Oh No" and "Ms Fat Booty". I get crazy shoutouts for TI every freakin week... As for TI's fight song, that ahem "video game beat" is what these lyricists want to square off to in their rap battles now -
Granted I'm not the biggest TI fan, but 20 million fans must see something in the dude and who am I to say otherwise - besides "Bring Em Out" sets shtein off on the floor.... I can play nothing but TI, Rick Ross & (MMG), Lil Wayne & (CMYM), Future, and 2 Chainz shtein for the next three months and I will rock any club. It sux, but that's the way it is....
TI has a decent club jam or 2 but never liked any of his other stuff that I've ever heard. Isn't he the dumb ass that got arrested the same day he got out of prison?

no one is saying you shouldnt play what your audience wants to hear....but that doesnt change the fact that TI and in particular that beat is straight ass
vanilla ice also went platinum
Usually the jams requested most often in the club are the worst examples of hip hop. It's also the closest suburban white kids ever get to listening to real hip hop.

As for TI being straight ass and on a Vanilla Ice level u need to get off dat monkey homie bc u just got nominated for hater of the year
never said he was on that level....i was saying just because you sell a lot doesnt mean you are any good....never underestimate the awful taste of the american consumer

LOL yep... In skillz Mos Def, Talib Kweli, etc got almost everybody in the game beat; however that's not what rap is nowadays; it's popularity. You want that skillz in rap defining stuff better invent a time machine back to 1988 and take me with you. It's 2013 and I get much much more requests for TI songs that Mos Def and I dj at 6 places per month up and down the east coast from PA to FL. In 30 years of doing this shtein I got Mos Def requests twice - once for "Oh No" and "Ms Fat Booty". I get crazy shoutouts for TI every freakin week... As for TI's fight song, that ahem "video game beat" is what these lyricists want to square off to in their rap battles now -
Granted I'm not the biggest TI fan, but 20 million fans must see something in the dude and who am I to say otherwise - besides "Bring Em Out" sets shtein off on the floor.... I can play nothing but TI, Rick Ross & (MMG), Lil Wayne & (CMYM), Future, and 2 Chainz shtein for the next three months and I will rock any club. It sux, but that's the way it is....
ZOD, at least you haven't forgot the past, which is cool. If I get that time machine, I'll make sure to reserve a seat for you. By the way, you a D.J.?
Ok, you talking about rocking the club. Most club goers are just that, club goers. No one is going to shake their ass to Masta Ace at the club. That's where bieber, timberlake, T.I, lil John fill that niche...but those aren't real hip hop heads, those are club goers. There's a reason Tone Loc survives.
Anyways, man, just saying that just because its requested by the masses, doesn't mean it's dope. It can be, but I just don't find any substance in this new era if hip hop. I'm hoping for a revolution. But, I know that is highly unlikely.
Regardless, keep the crowds happy, play what they want, and every now and then, try to throw in a classic. Only that way can the people know the truth.
Funny that u say that bc I pray for that revolution too (just a couple cats that will bring rap back will do) but rap just keeps going downhill. In 10-15 years this shtein that we poppin right now will be looked at as dat-fire-back-in-the-day stuff. Give me Rap 88-92 and I'm straight, but yall correct - the club is a whole different story... Tell u how bad shtein has gotten - last saturday at a club in Melbourne, FL end of night (5 min left) I played a Biggy medley out of respect for his anniversary of his death and heads started going for the door....I switched it up and then hit up one last Future song and people started coming back in.... Me and my security was like damn...

so i like to sometimes check out what the kids are listening to these days and this macklemore album has been getting a lot of internet hype so i checked it out. it's not good per se...but it's actually a pretty fun album. been using it as walking around the city music for like two days now.
this thrift shop song is pretty funny, although now looking at the video i wish i didn't know what he looked like. still funny shtein though.

probably should have washed this, it smells like r kellys sheets.....pissssssss...shtein but it was ninety five cents
6 mo later and now I can't turn on the radio without hearing it. It's also #1 on billboard top 100 right now.
entirely blocked out what corny dude was saying after the r kelly line--the beat is knocking which is all that matters

This almost never, ever happens right? Whoa. If you were going IGY, I would seriously consider flying out.
im ten thousand % going
I wouldn't know what to wear.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYzJWhyw544
IGY, what are your thoughts on this group? They're local, San Fernando Valley actually, but I liked them. They had a cool sound, they mixed in a lot of references to the era we grew up in. I thought they had a sound of their own. I only got their '2000 Fold' album. Not much more from them. They weren't ground breaking, just like a filler group who stood out just slightly.
Curious if you ever peeped them.
I liked it. Empire Strikes Back reference ftw. Gonna have to check out more of their stuff.
yeah im pretty familiar with them....they are listenable which is more than you can say for most y2k hip-hop but they fall into that category of independant rappers who all sound the same...one of those groups where if you hear a song by them like the one in the youtube you posted you think to yourself damn thats pretty dope...but then you listen to their album and every song sounds the same then you listen to every song and every verse sounds the same...they never switch their cadence up or have any personality...there are an innumerable amount of acts that came out from like 99-2004 who fall into this category
acts that are good and really boring all at the same time...if that makes sense
Yep. You put it perfectly.
Exactly how I feel.
Yeezus
so i grabbed the leak today. personally i'm usually hit or miss on kanye, like twisted fantasy is an all-timer in my opinion...possibly the best hip hop album of the last ten years, 808s was straight garbage, and his earlier albums are all between mediocre and pretty solid.
i've only been through once so far but it has much more of an 808s vibe than twisted fantasy. some even real EDM-ish. lot of that auto-tune garbage. plus it's pretty narcissistic, if the title didn't give it away already. he even has a track called I Am God.
granted, i don't even know if this leak is what's actually going to come out tuesday, plus i only listened it once, but i can't think of a single track that might become a hit. pretty one note throughout. theres about 6-7 on twisted fantasy that i can still listen to over and over.
that being said, it's still better than 75% of the new hip hop i've heard recently. also, i'm a 12 pack in so will definitely give it a few more shots before deciding it's playback fate.
early first rating - C+
nothing good ever comes from trying to be different just for the sake of being different
kayne needs to stay in his lane and realize hes not next level...stop trying to be an "artiste" and make artsy fartsy fashion show rap and make hip hop or even stadium rap...this is not you and you suck at it
Magna Carta Holy Grail is pretty good. It's not spectactular, and there aren't a bunch of tracks that punch you in the face, but it's a solid album. Some of his lyrics are starting to get repetitive, but it's hard to have the same passion and fire when you pretty much rule the world. on my second listen through and it's basically good background music.
and yes, Yeezus is horrible. tried way to hard. of course there are a ton of music snobs out there who will shout you down when you say that because "you just don't understand" and it's artistic and blah blah blah. it's not good. there is one song I like (Bound 2) and one that is ok (New Slaves). The rest is just terrible
Checked out the "Kings of the Mic" show last night at The Greek.
De La
Public Enemy
Ice Cube
LL Cool J....and the ladies definitely love Cool J.
Cool show, just wish Ice Cubed would have closed. I could have listened to De La for 6 hours. P.E. was cool too.
Did Cube at least have the decency to throw Coors Light to the crowd?

QuoteAnd now who would want to be either? Throughout "Magna Carta," the 43-year-old pretends he's a threat to a system he's so eagerly become a part of, as if his life as a champion capitalist is some perpetually escalating act of subversion. Hooray? Rooting for this man in 2013 is like rooting for Pfizer. Or PepsiCo. Or PRISM.

what a night
other than not remembering how i got home or why there were about 6 people smoking blunts in my crib at 5AM, yes it was a good night. think i might still owe you for tix.
yeah....just pay me at the eagles practice or whenever
they definitely surpassed my expectations
i was also in blackout mode....way to much colt 45 pre gaming

jay z sounds like a cross between a 1920's prospector and an old jewish lady from brooklyn
i figured it out
jay ziegelman
he looked and sounded just ridiculous on king maher
if you dont hear him behind some beats he shouldnt be seen or heard at all
so he really was awful on there?
i dont have hbo anymore but i wanted to see that
there were some typically awkward exchanges since maher, who normally thinks hes the funniest and most important person in the world, realized this was someone more famous than him.
jay is just a rapper...nothing more, nothing less. he was wearing bling my now dead grandmother would sport. he was dressed like a mormon (help me here geo).
nothing personal but im not going to pay much attention to the skinny white soccer loving jews opinion on jay z
if i were fat would my opinion be valid?

Primo says he going to produce an entire Nas album after Nas puts out his next album, which will fulfill his contract with Def Jam.
thats cool but did nas say hed rhyme on it
Haven't seen anything from Nas about it, but Primo's worked on a bunch of individual tracks with him before, right? Can't imagine that Nas wouldn't let Primo produce an entire album. Maybe Nas isn't saying anything since he's still under contract with Def Jam.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXmgw1iTR0M#t=271
3:46 in is when he says he's doing a Nas album.
i was joking....kind of....primo has been trying to do an album with nas since the late 90's and nas always rebuffs him
Hopefully this one comes to fruition and isn't a tease like Dre/Rakim in the early aughts.

seeing slick rick & rakim next weekend.
you care. i know you do.
i care.....im goin in february....live band behind them should be great
report back and let me know how it is
will do. i didn't even know they were playing w/ a live band.
haven't posted in a few years but i saw pe at the troc a couple years ago...f'n amazing show. schooly d & the biz came out on stage too...good stuff.
they are advertising the show im seeing as a live band....im not 100% sure about yours....im assuming that's just how the tour is
reeses favorite album is yo! bum rush the show
it's a pos club in allentown so who the hell knows. i didn't even know they had a stage.
hmmmm......yeah that sounds like tables to me
im seeing them at a nice ass theater on the campus of howard university
wound up being turntables...no live band.
slick rick seemed to be going through the motions & did a short set...maybe 30 minutes. started off with a medley of his songs..then did some of the bigger hits...the ones you'd expect. he wore shades until the last song (children's story) when he rocked the eye patch.
rakim was really good...much better at working the crowd & a better live performer overall. i can't say how long his set was because i left after paid in full because fights started breaking out, some idiot jumped up on stage, i'm an old white guy, & my gf was with me. :paranoid
i actually thought paid was going to be his last song but i heard him breaking into mahogony as i was running for my life walking out the door.
overall, a really good time & it was awesome to see 2 of the artists i grew up on as a white dude living in the mean streets of nepa.
did slick rick do 'its a boy remix'
guy that tailgates near me gave me a cd this week thats a mash up of pharcyde rhymes over tribe beats...except its not just tribe instrumentals...a lot of it is the original song they sampled off looped in a slightly different way.....ive onyl gotten half way thru it but so far so amazing
yeah...he did "it's a boy."
he put on a good show...wish it were longer but he hit on all the songs you'd expect..even if he only did a part of them.

Random question for you IGY. Had on JJJ radio, this song by "Illy" came one. I'm curious why is it Aussie rappers can still sample? Was the sampling ruling just US only?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy70MUYdYN4
And yes, I fully expect you to hate this song, just using it as an example.
anyone can sample as long as you clear it
So pretty much only people like Premier bother with getting clearance anymore.
no pretty much anyone who samples gets clearance...but this is nothing new...this has been going on full scale since gilbert osullivans lawsuit against biz in the early 90's
its just that very few people sample anymore

Wrong thread Ed. This is the hip-hop thread. ;)
Q-Tip is getting tapped for a Native Tongues inspired television series by Scorsese's Wall Street cohorts Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill. The series is still very much in the conceptual stage, but we do know that it will revolve around the NT movement, which showcased a collective of groups like ATCQ, De La Soul, Black Sheep and The Jungle Brothers (not to mention countless affiliates) Q-Tip who was one of the young patriarchs of that progressive period that spawned the backpackers, is no doubt a chief consultant on the dynamic between the groups. We don't know about a time frame, but if the star-power behind this project is any indication of the types of potential narratives, then we need it tomorrow. We'll have more on the project as details unfold.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/16/showbiz/rapper-severed-penis/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
QuoteLos Angeles (CNN) -- Rapper Andre Johnson severed his penis and jumped from a Los Angeles apartment building early Wednesday, police said.
Johnson was seriously injured, but survived the fall from the second level of the building in North Hollywood, Los Angeles Police Sgt. William Mann said.
Johnson, along with his recovered penis, was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was being treated, Mann said.
Details about what triggered the incident were not available.
Johnson has been a member of Northstar, a Long Beach, California, hip hop group that was part of the Wu-Tang Clan family, according to the Wu-Tang Clan website. He performs under the name Christ Bearer.
His recording credits include "When the Guns Come Out," which was included on the soundtrack of the 2004 film "Blade: Trinity," according to the Internet Movie Database.

saturday night i was at the pharrell set, girl i know who works the festival told me not to miss him bc there is going to be some kind of surprise. couple songs in nelly comes out to join him. meh. few songs later, busta comes out for out two songs. cool. couple songs later, snoop comes out for a few. it was pretty badass. major lazer and gwen stefani also came out for a few each.
cut to about two hours later, i'm literally right up in the front for nas. he's the last set of the night around midnight. pretty much does illmatic from beginning to end. but about 20 min in, jay-z walks out and they kill it together for like 10 minutes. then later on diddy comes out but farg diddy really.
then the next day i'm at this little indoor heineken sponsored bar, wearing a wu-tang t-shirt, and fargin gza comes out of nowhere and just rocks it on stage for about 45.
sick weekend of music all around. my boy who was backstage also snagged jay and beyonces bottle of patron and we killed at it the hotel room.
Dude. No mention of Outkast? How was that shtein?
they headlined the first night and it was fun as hell. crowd was nuts the whole time.
i read a few articles on the internet the last few days and the consensus seems to be that they they sucked, so it was either the fact that we got to see their first live show in 15 years or just the adrenaline of the first night or the massive amounts of illegal substances most people had in them, but everyone in my crew plus the other tens of thousands of people all had a blast. the internet is stupid sometimes.

It means that I usually prefer the original track over alternative versions. Also, I should clarify to mean that I'm not talking about live dj mixes and remixes.

can't believe i'm saying this but the new joey bada$$ album is good.
recently-discovered letter from Tupac where he planned an East/West album (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/tupac-outkast-album-newly-unearthed-letter-reveals-planned-collaboration-20150206)
QuoteIn a recently unveiled handwritten letter likely written in the mid-Nineties, Shakur tells a friend about a planned "group album" called ONE NATION that would have featured Outkast, Scarface, E-40, Buckshot, the Outlawz, Greg Nice and Smif-n-Wessun, Okayplayer reports.
.
.
While the ONE NATION project sounds too epic to be true, Okayplayer confirmed the album's original plan with drummer-producer Questlove, who says the Roots were also approached to take part in this all-star LP during the mid-Nineties.

3/4 of RATM (minus Zack de la Rocha), Chuck D & B-Real of Cypress Hill are forming a supergroup called Prophets Of Rage.
I have a feeling it's going to be horrific but you never know.
yeah I heard about that. I love PE and Cypress so the thought of chuck d and b real teaming up is excellent, but I dont know, with RATM ? I mean they were an incredible, tight band instrumentally, lyrically ? meh. one verse repeated 30 times.

That's why this could be pretty epic though. Rage music + Chuck D/B Real lyrics. In.

i binged this overnite....thought the first two parts were excellent
i felt like after part 2 he started to run out of money or knew the money was drying up because parts 1 and 2 were in depth and well done and parts 3-4 were super rushed and felt like bullet points instead of a biography
part 4 specifically felt like well guys we only have a couple bucks left we better include the west coast somehow so let's ludicrously tie in the chronic as the reason rap is a world wide phenom tie this shtein up and call it a day
after seeing eps 3 & 4....yep, igy nailed it. still worth watching though, imo.

single, greatest hip hop line, ever.
das efx wrote an entire song about literally diarreahing themselves
ah the days of hip hop being self deprecating without people accusing you of being a bitch
wait, really ? please post those lyrics. :-D
that song isn't about a girl named lucy ???

Well, bust how I'm flippin, flappin
Rippin up the rappin
Look at the way I kick it, I'm wicked, it happen
One night in Manhatten, chillin, buggin
Me and some of the crew went around to this club and
Peeped it, scoped it, hope the shtein was rockin
Stuns by the bunch had the hunch they was clockin
Stepped up, dressed up, the young got some weed back
Honey got done then begun talkin to me, jack
I kicked slang to her, all my stillupfront's moms knew her
I wanted to gas ahead and take her back to the sewer
To do her, screw her
I knew I had to hush
When I felt my belly drop and the spot turned to mush
Um, shush shush, I need me a push
I felt loosey bubblin, trouble in my tush
Then the gush came gushin, rushin, splat!
The juice hooked my BVDS quick like that
Smack, I biggity-broke my bitch from behind
Tried ta shake it, fake it
But yo I couldn't hide from...
Hook
Well, dosey-do your partner as I start the intro
Cos nobody does it better, correcta-mondo
Back in '86 I was dick with the skills
Playin ball in the gym with my stillupfront's mom from the Ville
I was runnin it like the trooper, had no time to play the small cat
I had it goin on, word to mother I was all that, black
So one day, believe it or not, I'm chillin
I was playin against these stillupfront's moms from The Bronx for some chitlins
So bust it, I'm in it with my coojas, gimme the rock, G
I float like a butterfly and kick like karate
I scored 26, I caught a fake and now I'm Audi
I'm takin it to the hoop and then this kid tried to foul me
(HAAA!) Boom to the gutter, I hit the floor, I wanted to flip
I couldn't, damn, all of a sudden I had to shtein
So I dipped to the sewer, I couldn't control the shtein because it
Slipped past my meatcicle, drip drip like a faucet
Down past my shorts and hit the court and all of a sudden
Girls were gettin sick, all my stillupfront's moms they was buggin
I made it to the bowl leavin behind a trail of dookie
My drawers are soakin wet and I'll never forget the day I met....
I think I stopped following hip hop maybe sometime around 2005 or so. I honestly don't think I could name 5 hip hop artists who have come on the scene since then.
I think my mp3 player now qualifies as a vintage or antique music shop.

The Tupac trailer played today at the movies. Spooky. I couldn't figure out if it was Tupac, an actor portraying him or a CGI thing like Paul Walker.
Anyway, the movie looked like it might be pretty good.

Came across Bulworth the other day while channel hopping. Forgot how good the soundtrack for that was. Joints & Jam from BEP before they started selling out.

this is from arguably the best hip hop album of all time but i been listening to it more than ever....its from 1990 but so ill how relevant it is today

My buddy Ray played for Abington in the same backfield as Eddie George. He had his own apartment when he was in 11th grade. That album takes me back to those days.

Saw this a couple months ago and it's making its way around social media again. Dope little mashup for the most part. Not sure wtf Nicki Minaj is doing in it though.
when she feels like rappin and not making pop music niki Minaj is ill as farg

this most likely will be a colossal letdown but it also has real potential.....im hyped
QuotePreemo also dropped some more welcomed news. "Me and Pete [Rock] is supposed to be doing De La Soul's next album, just the two of us," he says near 1:30:00. "Things are being worked out, but that'll be fun. 'Cause that's competition." In August of 2014, Dave (fka Trugoy) mentioned the two giants of Hip-Hop sound planning to produce a joint-mixtape with the Native Tongues trio. More than three years later, that project, to be titled Premiem Soul On The Rocks, remained on ice. According to Premier, things are now happening. "Pete even played a couple [beats] and was like, 'These ain't even my real ones!' He texted me, [Posdnuos], and Dave. I'm like, 'You icehole.' They're funky, 'cause it's De La. You know what comes with that. It's certain artists like that; you just know what comes with that." Previously, Preemo and Pete had also discussed releasing a "vs." album from two of Hip-Hop's most respect producers.

RIP matt dike who founded delicious vinyl and did the beats for all tone loc and young mc's hits as well being as a creative driving force behind the beasties pauls boutique dead at 56
I bet death by salivary gland cancer is farging awful.
worse than the gas chamber
not that he was at all famous but its still crazy how he died in january and its just coming out now...like how did that not at least leak out thru the hip hop community
If I had to hazard a guess, it would be that he probably kept a very small, tight circle, and those people in it were worthy of his confidence, kept their mouths shut about business that ain't theirs...
almost unheard of in the social media era
like they didnt just keep a sickness private they kept a death...a death certificate a possible funeral etc all private for months
it def fits his mo tho...i remember growin up and always hearing his name but i dont think i ever saw him until the internet came along which was years after his prime and when he was already in the wind

Sounds like Dike was holed up alone in his house for the last 25 years, shooting heroin. Probably didn't have many other people checking up on him, so it was up to his brother to inform the world.

sirius backspin transitioned into rock the bells radio...launch party re-airing right now...good stuff. :yay
cant possibly be worse than backspin but im sure it will be horrid
launch party was entertaining...now they just switched over to playing songs. they "promised" not to just play the same old hits over & over again...like backspin did. and they said something about playing new music from the old artists...we'll see.
how about getting better programmers...changing the name of the station isnt going to change the music...you either have knowledge and taste to play the right songs or you dont
put your damn resume in!
idk what they're doing yet...played songs for maybe an hour & now they're back to the "launch party". gonna give it a couple weeks to settle in.
seems to be a lot more crate digging on rock the bells so far...and i heard psk on my way home from work yesterday, so i can't complain. sat in my car in my driveway until it was over.

tell me something about Schooly-D, igy
first gangsta rapper. whose music is largely unlistenable and incredibly dated
tell me one song I should know if any
Gucci time is my favorite
psk probably his only other decent song
thing is I'm from philly and grew up with him so a lot of my like for these two songs is nostalgia driven...take that out of it and both are probably average at best
Thank you, I'll listen.
don't forget his cringeworthy video for no more rock'n'roll.
https://youtu.be/_s24l_oZhjg
on second thought...you might want to forget that one.
psk & gucci time were schoolly at his best...parkside 5-2 is alright. it really went downhill after those first 2 albums, imo.
A friend of mine who writes poetry referred to a Schooly-D track called "Am I Black Enough," or something like that.
If you could see my errands list, you'd find an item for listening to some Schooly-D so I can respond to my friend's work with some kind of appreciation for his references.
He also brought this to my attention. I'd never heard of Suheir Hammad before; she's something.

Good, insofar as it will infuriate some who don't want those people in the Hall.
But yo: what the farg is a rock and roll hall of fame, anyway? Stupid shtein. People suck.
how was he not already in?
QuoteAn artist is not eligible for induction until 25 years after the release of their first single, album or EP, meaning that the 2020 class had to have released their first eligible music in 1994 or earlier.
it was biggie's first time on the ballot...and he got in.
crazy that it's been 25 years since ready to die.
party and bullshtein was his first single and it dropped in 93 like a year and a half before ready to die....so if you wanna get nerdy he should have been eligible in 2018
and das efx should've been indiggityducted in 2017 8)

When I saw the headline I assumed I'd find that this happened in some third world country and I was right: Houston, Texas.
I hope Phreak is ok.
Yeah I'm good. That ain't exactly my scene. And even if it was I wouldn't be down there bc those festivals get very shtein showish quick. Sadly as evidenced by this news.
I had a bad feeling it was going to be a mess when there was video from the news stations here showing people tearing down the entrances to get in. Like really people? Can you not rip the shtein down?
In watching some of the videos I've seen and accounts I've read it was a nightmare. Security was overwhelmed and there was a lot of cops at the entrances and exits but not in the show area. Also people kept trying to make mosh pits happen. All that plus the crush of people pushing forward, people doing drugs etc. Several of the videos show people having CPR done on them as the music is still going. Just a sad time for everyone.
I can't believe those thug refugees from hurricane Katrina are doing these false flag attacks on your southern heritage. Stay strong, brother.
Heritage not hate!
Bro the Katrina thing, sixteen years later, still runs strong here. People always blame things on those dadgum refugees.
Weird, Texans are well known for moving on from history.

pretty cool ny times article from march 2, 1990....
Rap's Trip To a New And Surreal Territory
Tonight at the Ritz, the Next New Thing in Pop Music, subchapter hip-hop, will make its appearance. Three rap groups - Third Bass, a duo of white New Yorkers who have the highest-ranking rap album on the black charts; the Jungle Brothers, whose newest record, ''Done by the Forces of Nature,'' is one of the best new rap albums, and a Tribe Called Quest, whose single ''I Left My Wallet in El Segundo'' is a surreal underground favorite - will try to make a claim for themselves on the stage.
But instead of the standard-issue self-aggrandizement of many rap acts, the three bands plan to bring something new and less single-minded to their audience.
With the huge success of the group De La Soul last year allowing for eccentricity and individuality in rap, hip-hop's vanguard has moved into richer, more detailed territory, using humor, surrealism, politics, more intricate and literate wordplay, and even more arcane and nonsensical sampling to construct records.
Hip-hop has become a repository for nearly all recorded information. The form is capable of absorbing almost anything: a hip-hop album will use a message left on a rapper's answering machine, dialogue from B movies, classical-guitar strumming, excerpts from spoken-word albums, bass lines from a Parliament-Funkadelic album and music borrowed from just about every other source. It is the reproduction of the world, but on vinyl and under the ordering of a coherent mind. And in the similarities between groups, there is the mark of a movement.
'We Like to Sample'
''I see a lot of similarities between us and De La Soul and the Jungle Brothers,'' said Pete Nice of Third Bass. ''When De La Soul's record came out, our record was done and they had used a lot of the samples that we had used. It surprised me. But it makes sense, because we like to sample from things that are really out there.
''The rhymes and the word structures and patterns are more complicated now as well; we're all trying to be more ambiguous, so that a listener has to dig in more to get more out of it.''
Q-tip of a Tribe Called Quest said he agreed. ''Yeah, it's new,'' he said. ''We're known as trying to interject a new flavor alternative to the music. We don't just want to hit the hard-core crowd; we want to hit Middle America as well. Digital Underground, Third Bass, De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers: they're part of the genre. It's changing because everybody needs something different to break the monotony.
''Rap is a good medium; a million and one kids with a million and one ideas want an expression that they can use.''
The Jungle Brothers and a Tribe Called Quest are part of a loose coalition of rap performers with similar ideas about culture and politics. That association, called Native Tongues, includes Queen Latifah, Monie Love, De La Soul and Karen Wheeler.
''The whole thing just clicked about two years ago when we were touring with Latifah,'' said Mike G from the Jungle Brothers. ''We realized that we had a lot in common, shared the same thoughts about being ourselves and expressing it in our way and doing our own thing. We're all family.
''Other groups want to be like Big Daddy Kane or Heavy D, but deep down we all realize that what it is about yourselves that makes you an individual is important. And we're different because we weren't raised to be loud, and we're not for material values. We're for mental power instead.''
Race and Rap
Black nationalism and Afro-centric thinking has seemingly left out the white rap duo Third Bass. But the band, which is headlining the show at the Ritz, is respected by most rap performers, and it has produced music that is idiomatically accurate. More important, Third Bass's record is selling big in the black community. The duo's success and the integrity of its music point out that race in America is an endlessly complicated issue.
''Obviously, despite the similarities between us and the other groups, there are lots of differences,'' said Pete Nice of Third Bass. ''The Jungle Brothers have a more militant and Afro-centric approach, while De La Soul is just bugged out. We're white and harder than De La Soul, which I think is a reaction. We have different things to say. We've grown up differently.
''They grew up in different place, and while we've been heavily influenced by black culture - it's in our song 'Product of the Environment' -all these things have an effect.''
Among other things, the duo is actively political and anti-racist, putting it in the mainstream of the new movement. Though it is almost a novelty record, the band's newest hit, ''The Gas Face,'' is political. ''This kid Doom was saying 'gas face' all the time when he was talking about being dissed,'' Pete Nice said. ''He kept on saying it, and everybody we were hanging around with started saying it. So I decided we should do a record about it. My verse talks about record companies exploiting us, and we talk about how evil racial stereotypes can be when things like black cats are signs for bad things and the word 'black' is defined as dirty in Webster's.
''And we haven't had it easy, and neither has our black deejay, Richie Rich. When the three of us go into a store, security follows him around, and not us. Not too many white people have come straight out and said in pop music that whites are, in essence as the majority, pretty racist. It's not being said on a record. So it's important that we are saying what we are saying.''
A Showier Setting
That the concert is being held at the Ritz, hardly a bastion of black youth culture, is also an indication that things may be changing for rap. For the last several years, rap bills have been virtually banned from stages in urban centers all across the country. Fear of violence has made producers wary of booking rap acts. As usual, the economic consequences are felt esthetically.
Rap shows are notoriously threadbare, with little concern given to visual or performance values. Rap acts, used to playing in small clubs with little time or money, have suffered. But Third Bass puts on a good show, and a Tribe Called Quest says it intends to try.
''We're going to come out with black capes that I made, which will freak the audience out,'' Q-tip of the Tribe said. ''Then music drops. I can't tell you what will happen after that, except that we'll be wearing Afro-centric garments. We definitely have a big show, and it won't be violent. The type of people who will come aren't about violence: they're into listening and having a good time. People will be there with notes and pencils, taking down what we have to say.
''People are still throwing rocks at us: people like Peter Townshend and Wynton Marsalis. I can't figure it out. Townshend wrote 'My Generation' because people downed rock-and-roll, and now he's doing it to us. It doesn't matter, because they're going out like suckers.''
Show time at the Ritz (254 West 54th Street near Broadway) is at 9 P.M.; tickets are $17.50. Information: 956-3731.

Reviews/Music; Racial Stereotypes Blur at a Ritz Hip-Hop Show
Friday night's hip-hop show at the Ritz was both bizarre and a self-affirming party. The group Third Bass, which headlined the concert, is white in a genre overwhelmingly black; backed by a supportive, racially mixed audience, it crashed stereotypes. And the audience coalesced in a show of real community.
The second act on the bill, the Jungle Brothers, got the show going about half way through its set. When it began its old hit ''Jimbrowski'' with the help of the old-school legend Kool D. J. Red Alert, the club started to shake. With the group's disk jockey putting together slamming beats that were all drum sludge with a shiny metallic hiss - like the music in most rap shows, it was missing much of the textural inventiveness of the original record - the audience and the performers edged toward the empathy that often defines special concerts.
The group did its house-music hits as well, and when a whole crowd of rap luminaries - including the group De La Soul, the English rapper Monie Love, Flavor Flav of Public Enemy, and Afrika Bambaataa, the head of the Zulu Nation and the primary influence on many of the most innovative rap groups - came out, there was pandemonium. Monie Love, in a high, self-assured voice, using insistent regular rhythms, rapped through riffs of ''Go Monie, Go Monie,'' while De La Soul put in its turn on the microphone rapping through its tune ''Buddy,'' and the Jungle Brothers chanted old hip-hop lines.
For Third Bass, this was a hard act to follow. Not only had Afro-centrism been a major part of the show so far - the interludes between the performances had been filled by short, funny skits on Afro-centricity by people wearing Afro wigs - but the sort of wall- and roof-shaking intensity generated by the Jungle Brothers seemed hard to beat. But then Third Bass, with the support of the crowd and friends onstage, rocked the house as well.
Unlike jazz, which has a history of white involvement dating back to literally its first recording in 1917, hip-hop has no serious precedent for Third Bass. The sight of idiomatically accurate white rappers was a shock. But rap is about bravery and the two rappers were fully assured and presented distinct images. One of them, Pete Nice, was dressed in a suit and sat slumped on a throne, cane by his side, while Serch, the other rapper, danced away in a hip-hop style.
Third Bass went through its tunes, rapping to the group's own voices on record, trading off complicated, hard-to-follow lines that seemed to drift into stream-of-consciousness rhymes. Third Bass's disk jockey, Richie Rich, broke up the raps with virtuosic, crowd-pleasing solos that had him scratching records behind his back, or with crossed hands, and had him using his mouth to manipulate the fader between his two turntables. Splitting the audience in half, the two rappers had their respective sides of the audience trying to out-chant each other.
The concert started with A Tribe Called Quest. Its two rappers, Q-tip and Ali, traded verses and rapped in unison, breaking up lines into fragments. Since half of its short performance wasn't yet available on record, the audience, not knowing the words and not being able to hear what was being said because of a badly mixed sound system, could only get excited over the swinging beats. At the end of its four pieces, the group worked through its tune ''I Left My Wallet in El Segundo'' while the crowd, knowing the words and ready to go, chanted along, turning the title into a strange kind of non sequitur that invited the audience to supply its own meaning.
driving home from dropping off my kid at track practice yesterday...listening to the bdp remix of steady b's serious...wondering if i'm the only person in the world with that song on my amazon playlist.

can they just play pauls boutique on a loop?
all sirius channels are basically 25 songs on a constant loop.
my car only plays the 90s hip hop channel and lithium channel and both have extremely small playlists.
this is true even of the "deep cuts" channels they have..which are supposed to surprise you with interesting shtein, but for the most part I know everything they play, which is not a boast: I'm no scholar of rock and roll or anything.
Nothing beats the mega-pod in my pocket, with like 300GB of music I know I like in it, rando shuffle and I still discover shtein I didn't know I had.
I only have sirius in my truck since it's my daily driver but I use it for sports talk and hip hop and that's true.
In the mustang I just use Apple Music
what's the current mustang and why can't you see that a Camaro is a better car?
2019 GT
Tuned for e85, full bolt on, full suspension. Will eventually put a ProCharger on it.
Camaros are ugly. The interiors are horrible and cheap looking too.
Been a Ford head from the day I saw a 1989 GT Mustang pull up in my neighbors driveway
Right but you were like five.
I loved the Fiero the first time I saw it too.
10 but i knew that's what I wanted as soon as I got my license - I've owned six over the years.

is there a free music service that offers an app you can put on your phone and then upload music from a laptop hard drive to the service and listen thru the app
I'm not sure to be honest. You'd think there would be since streaming and tech are so prevalent but I haven't dug into it since I have all mine on Apple
You have been able to transfer music to your iPhone since it was invented 20 years ago. Just plug it in and move files to the music folder. When you want to listen you press the music app. What.
okay but:
a.) I own and listen to a lot of music that ain't available at Pandora/Amazon/Apple/Spotify because I have strange tastes, I like some small no-name bands, there are live bootlegs I have that aren't released, etc...
and
b.) I don't want my phone and my music player in the same object...they need to be separate on job sites, truck, etc. so I'm not constantly fiddling with the goddamn phone just to take a call or change a playlist...the music player needs to stay with the amp/job radio/truck, etc....
So, I use an older version of one of these (https://electronics.sony.com/audio/walkman-digital-recorders/walkman-mp3-players/p/nwa306-b?srsltid=AfmBOopISYBPrvSeeE-C7YSVm8aR6NeJ9nh3ZYSznQk9Og2_nZEmWIQ_M5o) with a large capacity microSD to hold a great deal of music at all times.
I love it.

dont you have to have itunes or not anymore? you can just drag and drop music files directly onto an iphone now?
iTunes is no longer a thing, it's now just the music app on your phone but it's literally the same as iTunes, they just dropped the name. just plug your phone into comp, click the music tab, and the it'll ask you where to import your music from.
if you open music app on your phone you'll see one of the options at the bottom is library, and that's where the music that you transfer to your phone is shown.

I don't think it's drag and drop but you can sync your music from anywhere. I use a Mac but my music is found on <<computername>>/music/media but I'm sure you can edit what your default music folder is.
45 king passed today....one of the illest to ever do it....probably holds the crown for a combination of brilliance and underratedness...infinitely dope but no one really knows what he did...for non hip hop nerds he did this
