they're not really "rap/hip hop" more like "nu metal" or "rap/rock"

Hip hop fans...

Why aren't you in that J.Dilla thread?!

He provided so many sick beats to groups/emcees like A Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, Busta Rhymes, De La Soul, etc...

Rest in Peace, J. Dilla aka Jay Dee

[QUOTE=Rise Me Up]Can someone reccomend me something similar to Public Enemy or NWA? :thumb:[/QUOTE]


first obvious one would be "dead prez". check out "onyx" too. onyx is the closest thing the east coast had to a gangtsa rap supergroup in the early 90's. definitely the prequel to whats poppin now in ny rap. i think 50's first video appearance was on a "onyx" track.

Isnt Eazy-E part of NWA.

Whats the best Street CD U ever bought ???

I know everyone has bought a cd off a up & coming artist in the street. I bought a cd off this kid the other day while in NYC. DAMN, dude is crazy. Check him out!!!

Word, you guys are really sleeping on him. He was one of the truely great producers and a pioneer.

R.I.P.

Has anyone ever heard of Nujabes?

I think a couple of people around here rate his 2005 album quite highly.

I'm yet to hear it, though.

IM or email me sometime :-P

[quote=Eggo]Has anyone ever heard of Nujabes?[/quote]Yeah, they're all right. Their records are very relaxing, but not terribly innovative, and the rapping is the weakest part.

I'm sure there are plenty of Wu-Tang fans here, but anyone else here into Gravediggaz? 6 Feet Deep is incredible, but is their second album worth buying?

If you're into the first one, yeah but past that point, it's all caveats.

I've been listening to cLOUDDEAD... after a while Odd Nosdam's voice is almost welcoming. Also I got Vast Aire's album "Look Mom... No Hands" Since I looooooved Can Ox's Cold Vein and so far it's the worst underground hip hop cd I've ever heard in my life.

Also been listening to... Typical Cats, Sole, and Sage Francis. I've been on a hip hop spree as of late.

Is the newset Nujabes better then Metaphorical Music?

cLOUDDEAD are so dope. (I have their self-titled)

Jurassic 5- Power By Numbers

One of the greatest rap group cds I've heard. It doesn't have all the bling bling gangsta crap.

[QUOTE=Slug]Is the newset Nujabes better then Metaphorical Music?[/QUOTE]I can't decide. The rapping is slightly better, the music is about the same. I'd say yeah, go for the new one.

Thank you for that very insightful post :rolleyes:

The rapping is the weakest part of MM. The beats are excellent, however.

Yeah. I wish I had the instrumentals. That would be tight.

Could somebody recommend some Tribe Called Quest for me?

[QUOTE=Seed Awakening]Could somebody recommend some Tribe Called Quest for me?[/QUOTE]

You need Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders in your life. In that order. ASAP

I'll work on that.

and The Love Movement by ATQC just get them all

[QUOTE=antiant]and The Love Movement by ATQC just get them all[/QUOTE]

What did you think of the Australian stuff I sent you?

[QUOTE=antiant]and The Love Movement by ATQC just get them all[/QUOTE]

Coincidentally, their post-MM stuff introduces a young J Dilla (R.I.P.) to the beats

[QUOTE=G_Mac07]What did you think of the Australian stuff I sent you?[/QUOTE]
it's not bad at all when i get around to it i'm goin to have to check some more out...do you have any sites at all on the austrailian hip hop scene?

[url]http://www.ozhiphop.com[/url] is generally regarded as the best. It's managed by Mass MC.

I just found out Atmosphere is coming to Australia, but my city is being skipped. :upset:

thanks for the link...can't you go to the city it's playing in? or is it way too far?

It's too far away. 900km's (just under 600 Miles in Yankee speak) seems a bit much. It'd be a da[size=2]mn[/size] good show though.

Speaking of Atmosphere, everyone needs to buy/download Sad Clown Bad Dub II. It's one of my top three favorite hip hop albums ever.

ahh, atmosphere, i havent picked up his latest album yet, is it pretty good?

it's ok, but don't expect it to be like his "older" material...if you can deal with that then go for it...in fact here's a sample of the album
