Hip Hop you tha love of my life - Recomendations

[Lardlad95]

I'm lookin for some songs to download any suggestions?

I'm not lookin for that Master P, Ludicrous bullshit.

I mean things like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, the Roots and J5

Also if anyone knows when the Roots new album (Phernology) comes out tell me

[abstractmentality]

visionaries, 2mex, LMNO, Of Mexican Decent (OMD), Bus Driver, Pharcyde, Hieroglyphics, Planet Asia, Copywrite, Defari, Aceyalone, Beat Junkies, Phil da Agony. thats about all i can think of right now. also, the new DJ Babu CD that came out a while back is pretty good, its called Duck Season.

[Lardlad95]

thank you. Couldn't find the post were you suggested that stuff before

[abstractmentality]

anytime you need some hip-hop, just let me know.

Josh

[libereco]

Black Eyed Peas, BDP (Boogie Down Productions), KRS-One

Hey, Public Enemy just came out with a new album but I haven't heard it yet.

Anyway, for rebel rap music type stuff check out Dead Prez or the Coup.

For Mos Def type shit check out the latest installment of SoundBombing. Unfortunatley, there isn't a lot of hot shit out right now. Most is mindless bling, bling crap. The Beatnuts, ED OG, 7L and Esoteric, Keith Murray.

[abstractmentality]

J,

have you heard the song last emperor did with krs 1 and zach de la rocha from the lyricist loung cd, vol 1 from 98 i think? that song is tight! its called CIA (criminals in action)

[Lardlad95]

CIA sounds tigght.

Haven't heard that much KRS One except for when he killed nelly.

I wanna hear Nelly ad Mos Def battle just so I can see Mos Def kill Nelly

[abstractmentality]

nelly is a dumb ass. i hate that guy. their is a radio station from UCR that i listen to on sundays here, and they have a show called the Ghetto Blaster show, which plays ONLY underground hip-hop and classic breaks. very cool stuff. anyway, they always play the KRS one diss on nelly, and then make fun of nelly afterward. its great. i dont know what he was thinking when he went off on KRS, KRS...KRS...well, its KRS, nough said!

man we never get any stations that play under ground hip-hop only that bullshit you find on MTV.

ITs an insult to the African American community.

but still you think Nelly does battles? I swear to GOd even evidence would kill him and evidence sucks.


Well he sucks as in IrisScience and Babu saved "Worst Comes to Worse" cuz Evidence's part was kinda weak.

[Lardlad95]

finally heard Blazing Arrow that shit was nice

[abstractmentality]

lardlad:
evidence has his days, like on the track Searching for Bobby Fisher, when he just rips up eminem. but then he has his off days as well. not sure how well he would do in a battle though.

blazin arrow is great

on the radio show the ghetto blaster, they also have a little skit called "the puff daddy process of making a hit" (or something like that). it has all of these steps, and its so funny. one of the steps is to sample old songs and not be original, cause being original just doesnt sell and if you just bring back the old bass lines, everything will be ok. another one is to not have any self respecting women on the record; women who show that they are something on a record doesnt sell either. i love that shit, im going to have to record it one day.

perception: yes, i love that song.

[Lardlad95]

maybe I'll download that track it had better be good

[Lardlad95]

damn you was right he killed Shady

[suffianr]

I've always been curious about hip hop, but never really into the stuff. But I'm really starting to admire turntablism, I love watching Dj battles and stuff, but it's a pity that people don't seem to appreciate all that, instead they just listen to radio-friendly commercial "bouncy" shite like Ja rule.

[Spiritual Minded]

Great thread! I've heard much from The Coup, Last Emperor, and Blackalicious, but i'll definitely check them out when i get a chance to (unforunaly i can't download music on my computer).

Lauryn Hill and KRS-ONE are my favorit MC's... but i dig most somewhat conscious/positive music: Nas, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Guru, Common, Tupac, Apani, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Eminem, Rakim, etc, etc.

thatss the difference between hip-hop and rap.

Hip hop includes Dj's rap, break dancing, etc.

Rap is only a small part of Hip Hop.

a really good dj you might want to look nto is Dj Babu from Dialated People

I also want to start DJing but I need to buy some equipment first.

I suggest checking out The Roots also, and Aesop Rock.

And Dialated People.

I liked DJ Jazzy Jeff, but not Will Smith aka the fresh prince.

His rhymes are to corny and he can't seem to realize that hip hop has progressed

[Spiritual Minded]

I know the Roots, but that's not really my sound. DJ Jazzy Jeff is the illest (he's releasing his solo debute next week-it's hot!) and i like Fresh Prince... he was a positive spirit when most other rappers were talking about shooting their fellow black man. c'mon... don't hate. most people dissin him actually haven't heard a lot of their material. I bet Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince would be one of the most repsected hiphop groups of all time if Will Smith hadn't gone solo... lol

[Lardlad95]

you don't like the roots, thats just fuckin weird.

I like Jazzy Jeff, but Will Smith isn't the best rapper out there.

He's stuck in the late eighties and early nineties and its kinda sad.

[Spiritual Minded]

Stuck in the 80's? WTF... he's not doin the same music as back then... you obviously haven't heard any of their old records... they WERE ill. And why it is weird i don't like the roots? i had their album from '99 but i was only feelin like 3 tracks. Recommend me some of their best songs I'll check em out though. PEACE

[Lardlad95]

I mean his style is stuck back there.

Adreniline, The Next movement, Dynamite, You Got Me, Glitches, Hip Hop you the love of my life, What You Want, Double Trouble, Mellow My Man.

Are you sure you are talking about the Roots and not THe NAppy Roots? Cuz I'm talking about the Roots

you gotta see them live, one of the best live hip hop performences you will ever see.

They can work a crowd

yes, he killed shady. every time i hear the end of the track where it says "trick or treat," i get chills. lol.

sorry for the delay in response, i was at my college orientation from saturday up to today.

[Spiritual Minded]

The Next Movment is HOT! DJ Jazzy jeff is on that joint... and i like You Got Me ft Eve & Erykah Badu. It's from the same album. You The Love Of My Life feat Common is also a hot song. Cool, we basically have the same taste. But other than those songs i don't really listen to the Roots... and YES i am talking about THE ROOTS...lol!

[j]

Abstract Mentality-

Sorry about the delayed response. I haven't visited the music forum in awhile.

I'd love to upload some 7L and Eso but I don't know how to go about doing it. I am a computer dummy. If you can't send me some instructions on how to, take my advice and pick it up....its hot!!! Btw, you gotta support local hip hop (thier from Boston).

I'm still saying see them live, they be on it for real.

I think Jazzy Jeff is better now that Will Smith is selling out to MTV
