[QUOTE=RosettaStoned;14954299]Oh god no his voice is way too annoying for me. I finally checked out Brother Ali, he's amazing. Does anyone know any other artists with an intellectual level similar to his?[/QUOTE]

It starts out really annoying but it's grown on me after 3-4 plays.

[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh;14959345]Kyle, I remember quite a while you had "Pranging Out" by The Streets as your profile song on myspace and I really liked it, buuuut it's the only Streets song I know. Can anyone recommend me a good Streets album?[/QUOTE]

I'd recommend [I]A Grand Don't Come For Free[/I] as his most accessible, but [I]Original Pirate Material[/I] is great as well, I just prefer [I]A Grand..[/I] more though.

His latest one, [I]The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living[/I] isn't that great, I've read alot of negative reviews about it so it's best to check this out after you've heard one (or both) of the above albums.

anybody have a link to E. 1999 eternal? i'm looking for the original crossroads song by BTNH not the remix please help

Also am I the only one who finds Brother Ali's voice strangely relaxing. I think it's his accent or something.

haha :lol:, Lethal B's a genius. It's funny reading his lyrics on a screen though.

You don't wanna bring no beef
Bring some beef and loose some teeth

My fav rappers are:
Insane Clown Posse
Twiztid
The Fat Boys
Lords of The Underground
Souls of Mischeif(if you haven't check them out, they're fresh as hell)
Atmosphere
Run Dmc(duh)

Anyone share the same tastes?

Don't know if it's technically classed as hip hop but I've been listening to [I]Panic Prevention[/I] by Jamie T alot recently, it's really growing on me, the song 'Shelia' in particular.

Jamie T is cool, I made a thread on him a while back but nobody really posted in it.

Back in the Game is my favorite song, but there's quite a few good ones on the album.

I guess I must have missed it. I got the album after a friend played a few of his songs in my car on a roadtrip a few days ago. The album is brilliant though. Was it released this year or last year?

My friend gave me the 'Sheila' single on vinyl because his dad bought it accidentally when he was in London. I dig the song, but the b-side called 'Meet Me On The Corner' (i think) is complete rubbish. I also know the song about money, it's pretty good.

I've just got into [I]Dangerdoom - The Mouse and the Mask[/I], any suggestions for similar stuff, where's the best place to start with MF Doom?

Also what are the best Hi-tek produced albums, i really dig the hi-tekonology albums especially volume 2, again suggestions would be great.

MF Doom made plenty of worthwhile albums, but i'd start with Operation Doomsday.

Some good Hi-Tek productions are the Reflection Eternal album "Train of Thought" and most of Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star.

The Jamie T album was from the very start of this year, Interstate.

With MF Doom you have plenty of choice, but Operation Doomsday or Mm Food are both as good as any. And for Hi-Tek I'd probably go for Reflection Eternal.

Four Tet remix of MF Doom's Great Day.

mmmmm

Blue Scholars
 

Not usually a big Rap/Hip-Hop guy, but I'm digging the Blue Scholars. New album reminds me of Tribe Called Quest or Mos Def/Common; just real literate, groove-hop.

[QUOTE=Kyle;14995557]Operation Doomsday.[/QUOTE]

this one.

I've been really into Kool Keith and Main Source lately. Also stoked on EPMD.

im stoked next week im goin to Rock the Bells in nyc- rage against the machine, wu tang, cypress hill, roots, mos def, talib kweli, epmd, pharoah monch, immortal technique, sage francis, david banner, jedi mind tricks, murs, living legends, caage, brother ali, mr lif, public enemy... so awesome anyone else goin?

I hate you.

Gangstarr, Visionnaries, Dilated People, Quasimoto, The Lynguistics, The Sound Providers, ATCQ, Army of The Pharaoh :)

Anyone know of other songs that have dialogue going back and forth like
Damien and the Omen by DMX
Guilty Conscience Eminem and Dre

No Nas?

can someone hook me up with some deltron i am fiending

Downloaded [I]Wrath Of The Math[/I] by Jeru The Damaja the other day. First material I've heard from him, it's pretty good.

I've been on a big Notorious B.I.G. kick lately, man that guy was good.

Indeed he was.

[QUOTE=40 oz 2 freedom;15023033]No Nas?[/QUOTE]
NO! nas for some reason isnt going to the show im going to, which i dont get because its the new york show! i was pissed but its still a good line up. and for the guy who wants deltron, hes the man

Common's new album = ****.

Serious? as in 'sh[I]i[/I]t' or 'the sh[I]i[/I]t'? I'm desperate to listen but I can't download it atm.

[QUOTE=Pherton Skeurton;15028682]I've been on a big Notorious B.I.G. kick lately, man that guy was good.[/QUOTE]

Damn right. [I]Ready To Die[/I] is one of my top 5 albums ever.

It's terrible. He has one of the best singles this year and it doesn't appear on this, he claims Kanye is the new Premo too much, and the best song was already released on J-Dilla's [I]The Shining[/I]. It's like Be-lite in terms of rapping and terrible beats.

I'm reviewing the new Common. There's just way too much Kanye on it. The production is distracting and totally contrived, and in a testament to you saying it's Be-lite they actually sample **** off Be on this one.

[QUOTE=Interstate;15041352]Damn right. [I]Ready To Die[/I] is one of my top 5 albums ever.[/QUOTE]I wouldn't quite put it at one of my top five, but it's definitely one of the best albums I've happened upon in a long time.

Gimme the Loot, Things Done Changed, etc. are classic.

The sad part is the beats are still way better than Common's rapping. He just seems so content to make it hook happy that he wont even begin rapping on it. Strange considering he has some killer tracks come out this year. How he went from "State of Clarity" and "A Dream" to "The People" is beyond me.

What a disappointment, I don't even know if I will bother listening anymore :( I guess I'll just stick with his old stuff for the moment.

In other news, I've been diggin me a bit of Quasimoto of late, as well as the Chrome Children volumes (1 and 2). Whassup World by Dudley Perkins is the defining Stone's Throw song in my eyes, when I hear it I automatically think of Stone's Throw. Awesome, awesome song.

anyone like Supernatural? i saw him at rock the bells and he was ****in awesome im downloadin his cd now

He's an amazing freestyler. Never heard any of his stuff though.

yeah all he did at the show was freestyle and it was amazing, the cds ok, pretty cool but nothin special really, just solid

Canibus is the amazing freestyler
