Macker, I approve of your musical choices (other than the "Let Your Backbone Slide" that I already posted) but at least throw a descriptor on your links We need to know what it is you like so we can judge you. Hip hop fans are worse than metal heads when it comes to specifics IMO
Wow.. some of you guys actually know your hip hop. Good ****. I'm surprised but impressed.
Since mainstream rap has turned crap, I moved underground and let me tell you guys hip hop is alive and well. Mainstream rap right now is garbage but underground hip hop is thriving. You just need a good outlet and SO much of it can be found on youtube.
I could go all day but here's a few. If anyone wants some underground **** just let me know. I'm sure I'll post lots but any/all feedback is appreciated.
Great thread! I'm going to have to set aside some time to listen through everything posted. Some are classics to me, and some new discoveries, very excited.
My first contribution...
Now that I see that people on this forum actually listen to rap music (Or at least used to listen to rap music), now would seem like a good time to promo my radio show.
You can hear true-school hip-hop on "Dirty Needles" every Friday night at 9p (mtn) on CJSW 90.9fm. If you're on the web, we've also got a live stream on CJSW. We basically play all of the stuff that's been noted on the thread and whatever new dope 'ish' that's on the come up. /PLUG
I'm not even gonna front. I didn't bother with 'Organix' when it came out. It ended up being a UK success, so when 'Do You Want More?!!?!?' dropped, I decided to give them a chance. One of the best life decisions I ever made.
