Hip Hop

[Kennrr]

I'm not a big fan of Dangerdoom album, but MF Doom's other albumis pure hotness. I didn't know Doom dissed Monster Island Czars on the el chubra track, but MF Grimm and them came back w/ another song. errrrrr

I posted on "should'a been on the list" thread, but people should check out Edan - Beauty and the Beat. Fantastic shit, than theres John Robinson aka Lil' Sci of Scienz of Life. i downloaded the leak edition, bunch of advance tracks by him produced by Mf Doom, Madlib, Dangermouse, etc. When his new album comes out, i'm going have to say it'll be my hip hop album of the year from what i've heard.

Lyrics Born, Blackalicious I use to be big fans, but i've kind of bored with their work now.

But you were probably joking?

not joking, there are some good nederhoppers out there
i remember the debut album of ABN was very good
osdorp was hold quite high until i discovered that in the begining he was translating lyrics from the beastie boys, like no sleep till brooklyn was geen slaap tot osdorp
and you don't touch the beastie's

i love one a.m, pretty sure it was someone on dirty that brought him to my attention, a thousand thank you's.

i wouldn't claim to know much about hip-hop, infact my knowledge is fairly limited, but in the late 90's i was seriously into Jurassic5, haven't heard anything from them for a while thou.
now the only hip-hop i listen to comes almost exclsuively from the quannum stable of artists, yeah i know i need to broaden my horizons but cash is limited and there's so much music out there i want to buy

A stand out track last year was Beanie Sigel's 'One Shot Deal' w/ Redman...great party track! Check that one out if you haven't heard it

Indeed, MF Doom's voice is brilliant. Didn't check the Dangerdoom album out, although I do have "Mince Meat", which is hot.

Winston: Heh, I didn't know OP was copying Beastie Boys. That's stupid yeah.

Btw, in my first post, I forgot to add one:

Ultramagnetic MC's.

Talk about oldskool, heh. Those beats are very hot. I find Kool Keith's vocals really interesting.
If you don't know them, get the whole album "Critical Breakdown". Or I suggest you get "Critical Beatdown" (the song) at least, to make you interested. Then you'll also know where the "pay close attention, I'll take your brain to another dimension" from Prodigy's Out Of Space comes from
Also, they've got a track where Kool Keith shouts "smack my bitch up, change my pitch up" and stuff like that. Another sample unraveled

[patrick]

and kool keith is the same guy on dr. octagon, a slightly more underground 'project' he did. k&r put a track of his on their comp that one time.

i really do love the early b.e.peas too, the first two albumns are really good, and the lyrics are all very socially-aware and the beats are really funky and good...

[Jafs]

I highly recommend the classious "Reasonnable Doubt" by Jay-Z, that wasn't mentionned here I think.

Yes, I have that one. Although I don't like all of it on that album, there are some really rocking tunes on that.

Which also leads to something in the same catagory: Deltron 3030. As Dr. Octagon and Deltron are both produced by Dan The Automator. I prefer Deltron above Dr. Octagon. Update Your Grey Matter!! yay!

I've been consisting on a pretty steady diet of Three Six Mafia lately. Such great production, tons of personality, funny/clever lines, etc. 'Stay Fly', 'Ridin Spinnaz', 'Sippin on Syrup', etc. A lot of their side projects are great too, my fave being Project Pat's 'Chickenheads' THAT is a great tune.

Some cool triple six vids:

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!! Boy, the gangsters in Compton or the Bronx must be thankful he's not around.

Back on track.

Outkast - Aquemini or ATLiens are the two albums that I compare the rest of traditional hip hop to. ATLieans is weaker, but it has by far the best hip hop track ever, 13th Floor/Growing Old.

If you want some straight up dirty, profane gangsta rap, Three 6 Mafia or Project Pat is the place you want to be. Project Pat's "Layin Da Smack Down" is like a symphony of crunk nasty, and you can pretty much pick any 3 6 album up and be ok. Some track recs for each would be... Project Pat - Nine To Yo Dome, On Nigga, Choose U, Weak Niggas.... Three 6 Mafia - Hit a Muthafucka, Act Like You Know Me, Where Is Da Bud, Mean Mug...

For your turntablist craft, DJ Krush's Meiso is a golden masterpiece. The track 3rd Eye, Duality and.... hrmph, titles escape me but just go get it already.

EDIT: Hell yeah, Tyler's on the 3 6 tip too. West Side Reprazent. What he said about the production, he's right. Tall Paul is an INCREDIBLE producer, there's nothing better than a 3 6 beat with Scarecrow all over it.
