Hip Hop

[ivan]

I've been listening to a lot of Hilltop Hoods lately. I simply love it.

Is there anything similar to that? Can you please tell me some good quality Hip Hop artists?

I love The Blue Scholars and
Common Market
they're awesome!!

[DK]

MF DOOM, GZA, Nas, Jurassic 5, Heirogylphics, Ghostface, Aesop Rock, and The Roots are all worth checking out.

[unicyclepa]

Heirogylphics, The Roots, Mos Def, Atmosphere, A tribe called quest, Dead prez, Omega watts, and Black Star are all real good

[ivan]

Thank you, people.
I'm gonna check them out.

Blackalicious, how can you forget Blackalicious! Them and Handsome Boy Modeling school are must listens if you like hip hop.

I went past a private hospital t'other day and there was an advertising banner saying:

"Can't hip-hop? Get a hip-op!
competitive rates offered etc etc."

Made me chuckle quite a lot.

Saw another ad at the train station today for breast enhancement surgery... They were offering a credit scheme with payments at £70 a month.

At those prices I'm considering getting a pair myself!

Anyhoo, topic...yeah...Hip hop.

A Tribe Called Quest and Pest is the sort of hippity hop I'm keen on. None of that gangster, bling-bling, I've been shot more often than you therefore I'm the more credible artiste...

And shizzle.

Handsome Boy Modeling School and Aesop Rock are solid choices.

The Roots, but mainly because they're the only hip-hop group worth seeing live.

Someone already mentioned these, so I'm just voting by post.

As a side note; I saw the movie Deep Blue Sea, it's about a group of scientists that create hyper-intelligent sharks that eventually flood the research facility and kill everyone. LL Cool J wrote and performed the main theme song- I can't say enough about it, I fell off my damn couch laughing...

Uh, my head is like a shark's fin
Chorus:
(We're in) Deepest, bluest, my head is like a shark's fin,
(The Deep) Deepest, bluest, my head is like a shark's fin,
(Blue Sea) Deepest, bluest, my head is like a shark's fin,
(Ah, ah) Deepest, bluest, my head is like a shark's fin,
Man-made terror
Hungry jaws of death
Y'all don't cross my depths
I'll pause your breaths
I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues
Bleeding to death with no arms in short sleeves
My world's deep blue
Killers gotta eat too
Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through
Other fish in the sea but barracudas ain't equal
To a half human predator created by a needle
Jet black eyes baby they stare while you sleep
When your Titanic sink I'm the one you gon' meet
Hearing terrified screams they surround my team
All you see is trails of blood
Even God won't intervene
Nightmares of darkness
My appetite is heartless
Even if we related, you eliminated regardless
In the deep blue, underwater wars
Half man, half shark
My jaws don't pause
Chorus X2
Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Killers sworn to beast
Swallowed them in flames
Switch my DNA
Flip me into Cool J
I can't fight the feelin'
I'm born to kill prey
To survive an attack
There's only one way
Battle to the death
That's how sharks play
Weapons left behind
We dueling with the mind
You blind, crippled, or crazy
You're real easy to find
Struggling to float
With heomorhages in your throat
Getting the lap dance
While I smash through your boat
Eat your whole fam'
Nothing left but da right hand
Clinging to a rail
Escape attempts fail
You'll never make it home
Tear the flesh off your bone
Walking in undercurrents is a dangerous zone
I'm talking death out a moment's notice
You wasn't focused
Me and my crew strike
Like some underwater locust
Chorus X2
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
These waters are waist level
The hallway's flooded
Lost your scuba gear
The killer's cold-blooded
His name's LL
You don't really want it
I ate your ancestors
The ocean is haunted
I'm closing in cause I'm supposed to win
How the cold steel feel when it froze your chin
Should of stayed on dry land
Stroke while you can
Cause now you under pressure in the land of the damned
Abandoned pirate ships
Eels and sod scum
Fish that glow in the dark
The Titanic's hub
Underwater storms
You're blood is so warm
You're life vest is off
And that turns me on
Killer for centuries
The Gotti of the deep
In the next millennium
I'm still gonna creep
Sand under my belly, ocean over my head
Through the light in the shadows
You become the living dead
Chorus X2
Yeah, DBS
