I've been listening to a lot of The Roots, Outkast, Strange Fruit Project, and the Black Star album lately.

Would anyone by chance have some recommendations for more hip hop for me? It would be appreciated. I listen to a little bit of gangsta rap but I'm liking the hip hop sound at the moment.

And no that movie never appealed to me before but now that I'm getting into the music a bit I might need to see it.

Jurassic 5, Blackalicious, Main Source, A Tribe Called Quest, Organized Konfusion, Aceyalone, Common Sense, DJ Edan's mix-tapes, INI, Masta Ace's newer work, Marco Polo's new CD, and if you are into lyrics I'd check out Ras Kass. I can upload some stuff for you if you'd like.

I have to go out and suggest Jedi Mind Tricks, hah.

Anyone like the new Saul Williams? It's insane.

I forget who it was, but whoever sent me the rep comment with Sole & The Skyrider Band in it, thanks so much.

Just what I was looking for.

:)

[QUOTE=MattSharpIsCool;15517249]Anyone listen to Black Star? Mos Def and Talib Kweli?

I'm getting into rap, or hip hop or whatever.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, they're great. Check out A Tribe Called Quest if you haven't yet.

Oh and Ghoul Hunter, actually I'm downloading the Block Party DVD at the moment. I have high expectations for it.

You won't be disappointed :)

That was poopie. He made a thread about it in A&I. I received it as well, but haven't given it a good listen yet.

Got myself the Chronic. I can't say it's love at first hearing, but there are a few fine tunes on there.

You heard 2001? It's far superior (i'm going to get murdered for saying this).

I've only heard the popular tracks off it.

[QUOTE=badtaste;15518029]I've only heard the popular tracks off it.[/QUOTE]

Which are the good songs of it. Except maybe What's The Difference, which is pretty good too.

I don't like the guest rappers on 2001.

I got in trouble for having 2001 in my bookbag back in 7th grade. (strict Catholic school)

:eek:

:eek:

But it's really not. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like [I]2001[/I] and all but there's no way it's better than [I]The Chronic[/I].

It took me years to finally realize The Chronic was better than 2001.

Lil' Ghetto Boy.....fuuuuugg

[QUOTE]I didn't think there was much difference, it's just Snoop, Nate Dogg and whoever else was in Dre's house at the time on both. [/QUOTE]
but Snoop was in Dre's house less on [I]2001[/I] :(

Whether it's the Chronic or 2001, the point is he's still D.R.E. and he's still got no love for police.

Time to give The Chronic another spin.

Snoop fan?

I still prefer 2001 to the Chronic. Both are pretty sweet though.

Chronic lacks breakdowns, you see.

[QUOTE]Snoop fan?[/QUOTE]
[I]Doggystyle[/I] is so good. Except for a couple of songs, I think I prefer it to [I]The Chronic[/I].

Know what CD I like? Black Sunday.

Thanks. Jurassic 5 is one of my favorite hip hop groups easily, but I havent listened to any of the other artists you listed. I downloaded a couple Common albums last night so I'll have to give them a listen.

I don't post in this fred much, any of you guys into [I]El Nino[/I] by Def Squad?

Can somebody upload me Doggystyle? Wierdly, It's a hip hop album that I never really bothered with.

Didn't upload it myself but just did a blogsearch:

It's a great album, Ain't No Fun has to be my favorite track, no matter how childish the subject is.

Am I the only one who finds Flavor Flav's voice really annoying?

most people do

Yeah a lot do. He's awesome though with Public Enemy.

So guys, recommend me some good hip-hop. Something with interesting beats like JMT/Sage Francis.

You are not at all alone here. Big fan of PE, not a big fan of Flavor.

Josh, you might like Sean Price.
