good hip hop

[heBAY]

this is a nice little treat for anyone like me who likes listening to old radio shows to pretend for a couple hours that i was around in the golden era, here is History of Hip-Hop Radio [NYC 1986-1991], a retrospective mixtape / time machine featuring Chuck Chillout, Mr. Magic, Awesome Two, Microphone Prince & Count Busy D, Stretch, Bob and more.

PROPPERS MY MAN.

Kurious on the Stretch & Bob segment...haaaaa...

Truth be told, back in those days, cats had wild colorful language...you could be entertained listening to the DJ's/Hosts talk shit or give shout outs all day...

Now it's just fuckin' birds on the dial...NYC cats using Southern slang...terrrible.

[Arcane]

Yay... the new Foreign Exchange is singing only, no rap. God daym! Fuck fuck fuck. It sounds good and all but I was expecting something along the lines of Connected.

[SamG]

wahhh? So the whole Percy Miracles thing wasn't just for kicks? Gotta admit, Phonte can sing.

Note: New version of jeanius out with love thirst remix and some udder shit.

I love listening to older radio rips like this. Hopefully they'll make more volumes of the series.

I grew up in the wrong era.

[ExileOnMainSt]

At first look I wasn't really excited about Grand Theft Auto 10, especially compared to 9 with the jada and jay-z joint (which was ugly as fuck by the way)

GTA 10 is definately worth the download, sheek louch on "silverback" and "smashtime radio" is very raw with surprisingly good beats

"Wanna see me then I'm in Yonkers, the ghost, the phantom or the loch ness monster!"

Oh and Jada really needs to stop being such a pussy and putting out all that "you need to be by my side tonight ma" bullshit ass corny tracks on mixtapes, it's making me sick

any of you guys dig any horrorcore? gravediggaz?

[heBAY]

any of you guys dig any horrorcore? gravediggaz?

Yes and no. Gravediggaz, yes...early Big L, yes...Flatlinerz, NO.

Funny thing is...out of the three mentioned above, Gravediggaz would be the first to deny the "horrorcore" label...they used to say they were simply playing with the horror imagery on a more metaphoric level than anything else. Same goes for old Three Six Mafia. I have an old issue of On The Go that features Big L (probably one of his first features/articles) where he is constantly referred to as a "real horrorcore rapper"...and he seemed to have taken a liking to that label.

Also, I'd throw early Brotha Lynch Hung in that category...Sacramento (Sactown) cannibalism raps... 24 Deep and Season Uv Da Sick are West Coast classics.

[RaymondChiu]

did two!

[Arcane]

^Still haven't picked that shit up since my initial disappointment. I suppose it's really good but I'm having a hard time getting over that it's not another Connected.

[ProfMonnitoff]

i listened to a recording of a whole episode of stretch & bobbito recently. does anyone know where i can find more episodes?

[heBAY]

^ Yep. I've got a bunch on tape that I'll need to rip...but you can try Stretch's blog:

http://konstantkontakt.blogspot.com/

as well as this one...

http://recogthereal.blogspot.com/

People owe me.

Can't say it'd hurt any of ya to sleep on Diamond D's newest, solid but nothing new. On the other hand, if ya been sleeping on 'Hatred, Passions & Infidelity' for past 10+ years, kopppppp (inconsistent but classic in my opinion).

Yeah man...my boy actually put me onto that one...he's got a bunch of the joints...not ALL...missing a few essentials like the earlier Chic Raw and Crime Partners stuff...some others as well...but that's a great place to catch recent updates since he seems to know a good handful of those cats in real life.

I usually go on philadelphiazoo.net. It's like Boxden...a message board that has an audio section for members.

[Guest]

^^^ word, i'll get at philadelphiazoo. and yeah at phillyshit one of the webmasters is a tape DJ (dj doe boy) and is putting out a series called Philly's Finest and he's got niiice exclusives on that, he definitely knows some of the bigger philly kids

hows leave it all behind without comparing it to exchange? i cant seem to find it.

[dandandan]

hows leave it all behind without comparing it to exchange? i cant seem to find it.

phonte mostly sings on the album, so if thats not your thing, then its not going to be that great.

i don't think you can compare the two since they're so different.

but i'm definitely feeling the new album, chill vibes and great production!

[terrible!]

Flying Lotus is horrible. I hope it wasn't posted.

[Arcane]

Went to see Bun B on saturday and god damn it was a dope show! I'm not the biggest fan of his solo work as I sometimes find it rather monotonous but he kicked ass live. Also, I caught his sweaty ass t-shirt when he threw it into the crowd...

[NESK]

flying lotus is far from horrbile. im all for fucking with the standards of what is and isnt considered hip hop. the approach to production is solid boom bap, the samples and bpm rate are off kilter, but thats no reason to go hating.

[mike lowrey]

3 x dope

Joe Budden - Slaughterhouse ft. Joell Ortiz, Royce, Crooked-I & Nino Bless

Wale & Skyzoo - 5 minutes (prod. 9th Wonder)

Little Brother - Passion Flower

I don't care about standards or genres. I just don't like Flying Lotus.

Flying Lotus's Los Angeles is a personal favorite whenever friends and I smoke up.

The new Foreign Connection album is actually quite impressive, although Phonte spits twice in the whole album. "if she breaks your heart" is such a nice track.

The new Charles Hamilton mixtape has also been on rotation this week.

[NESK]

the whoel lotus album is just a mind fuck. shit kinda has a dilla/madlib style of cutting loops short enough to be jarring. but the heaviness of it all takes it into another dimension.

[epitaph220]

please reup links thanks

They're working now.
