hip hop discussion thread

[ntappin]

K so people keep on getting angry with me and others for jumping into their threads and being like, yo WTF you talkin about, they are totaly NOT underground and stuff. Well lets just do it here. Post videos, albums, ideas, whatever.

Right now I'm trying to find Secret House Against the World by Buck 65, I used to have it but I lost it in a hard drive crash. I'm also watching alot of Cut Chemist videos.

Blue Scholars pwn.

[Triball]

The Blue Scholars' song from a Dan Heaton video is awesome. The only Hip-hop band I like is Cypress Hill....or is that rap...I would not know:o

Blue Scholars, but they are way to preachy and bitchy alot... Buck 65 is good.

[Jedimind]

I love hip-hop. Personal favorites:

MF Doom(/dangerdoom/viktor vaughn/king geedorah/madvillain), Gangstarr, Ghostface Killah, Zion I, Aesop Rock, DJ Shadow, Madlib(/Quasimoto/madvillain), Kool Kieth(/Dr. Octagon), The Herbaliser, Busdriver, RJD2, Wale, Aceyalone, Heiroglyphics

I know all of them might not be considered "underground", but they are all worth a listen.

EDIT:

How could I forget? Jedi Mind Tricks.

[uniextreme]

Nice tastes Jedimind, GangStarr is my fav out of that list.

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

JenRo is amazing. Check this dyke out.

I like club dojo.
And Tech N9ne. But those might be rap.

Alot of those I really like too, Busdriver is the shit lately, can't stop listening to him.

DJ shadow is getting boring lately though.

And sorry Goats but I think Jenro sucks. Just my personal opinion, but she just bring nothing to the table for me.

Don't forget to practice your alphabets! (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=i-dJ6xbrWHQ)

[wickedbob]

I think jenro is obsessed with her gayness...

[ntappin]

I think jenro is obsessed with her gayness...

I'm all for gay, lesbian, alien, whatever hip hoppers, but I just didn't enjoy it musically.

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

I like her a lot... She has soul which a lot of rappers lack IMO. And she might seem "obsessed" with her sexuality but it's hard not to be when everyone's talking shit about you.
I really connect to her music, I love her!
EDIT: straight love songs make me want to vomit too...

[dan de man]

yeah i dont really like pokemon either.




JK i am however a fan of cut chemist

[wickedbob]

I'm all for gay, lesbian, alien, whatever hip hoppers, but I just didn't enjoy it musically.

Me too, but its like soulja boy meets shaun paul meets lesbian. I don't like that style of music from anybody. It's like bubble gum rap which is terrible, she's also not what I would call clever with her lyrics. To each their own.

Everybody talking shit about her? New to me. Also Why do they make you want to vommit?

This was my first impression-http://youtube.com/watch?v=VyUYkVuf5eA&feature=related... I didn't know if she is always like that, but I don't dig ebonics style lyrics, or very repetitive ones. Also songs dedicated to describing sex, somewhat degrading woman/man, are not something I like. I think hip hop is supposed to be something with more meaning. Maybe some of her stuff is different, but this left a bad taste in my mouth. To each their own.

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

What I'm saying is, telling Jenro or Qboy that they're making a big production over being gay is like saying that Malcom X or Matin Luther King Jr. were making a big deal about being black.
And I kinda like straight lyrics, but they get boring and old and I like something I can relate to.

I don't mind sex songs at all... Lots of my favorite blues songs are completely about sex... but that's not the only stuff she sings btw. But like you say, each to their own.

[wickedbob]

I see. I can understand how you can relate to some of her stuff more than I, which probably has to do with why you like it.

[SqueakyOnion]

Can a white man create true hip-hop?

[uniextreme]

Can a white man create true hip-hop?

Yes.

[Spoonthumb]

cypress hill, asoep rock, quasimoto,

[wickedbob]

This dude was serious....

[ivan]

Bump.

Thanks to this thread I started listening to Cypress Hill and Jedi Mind Tricks.

Right now I'm listening to a Jedi Mind Tricks instrumental album. It's really schweet. I love instrumental hip-hop.

These haven't been mentioned before, so I'll say: Hilltop Hoods and The Herd.

[agentQ]

Jedi has some of THE BEST beats as far as for instumentals go. I dont think there has been anything on that level.

[ivan]

Check out No Disclaimers by The Herd. Amazing instrumental hip-hop. It's just one song, though. Jedi made a whole album:)

[uniextreme]

Jedi Mind does have some good beats but as far as being top notch, they don't hold a candle to J Dilla or 9th wonder or other classic producers like that.

But I can't stand JedI mind tricks. I used to be in to them and have two of their cds but it got old. I can't stand their homophobia or their general sound and how the main emcee sounds the same in every song.

tru dat...in terms of stricly instrumentals i'd try DJ Shadow.

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

DJ Spooky.

[wickedbob]

Aesop rock's music for earthworms is alright. Not fantastic, but some are decent.

[peleschramm]

I dont think it gets any better than Sweathsop. Lyrics are so good, beats are so hot.

[ntappin]

I've been listening to some Dj Format alot lately, hes a pretty old cat if I'm not mistaken, from the Coldcut days.

For anyone in need of some Hip Hop history, learn yourself a bit about Coldcut. Those guys really shaped alot of what hip hop is.

[ntappin]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Solid Steel Radio yet. Its pretty much like the best Hip Hop radio program I have ever heard. Its actualy only a podcast kind of thing, but its really good and done by Ninja Tune.
They often have special guests aswell which is really cool.

Also, hows about breakin'? Any B-boys out there?

-Justin

[yunisyko]

Ahhh...also it is very important to mention Slick Rick, Surreal and the Sound Providers, Visionaries, People Under the Stairs and the Roots....I just couldn't leave them out.

[yunisyko]

Ok, i'm not gonna be content until i've got it all out on the table...so i'm just gonna keep going.

Power Struggle, Latyrics, Little Brother, Atmosphere, Blue Scholars, Ordinary Peoples, Tribe Called Quest, Fresh Prince and Dj Jazzy Jeff, Sweatshop Union, STRANGE FRUIT PROJECT, Sage Francis, Ugly Duckling, Lyrics Born, Jurassic 5, Geto Boys Nas, Coolio, Outkast, Crown City Rockers, Wu-Tang Clan, Aesop Rock, and of course we can't forget the classics.... 2Pac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, The Notorious B.I.G, Run-DMC and N.W.A.


ahhhh, not done yet....gotta rep the YAY AR3A...

E-40, Mistah Fab, Keak da Sneak, Turf Talk, and just now debuting...V-jones! (hopefully he won't suck).


ok i'm done....i think. that just exploded and i couldn't help it.

[yunisyko]

It also must be mentioned that Easy-E is indeed the biggest G that ever lived. May he rest in Peace. As much as is possible for a Gangster anyways.
