bubinga5 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) When i was very young i loved hip hop. still do. its part of myself. i recognised that most of it didn't have the musical arrangements of the other soul music i was listening to. like comparing Stevie Wonder to Public Enemy. but i still had a thing for Hip Hop. and i don't know why although this is subjective, like anything creative, i was drawn to a certain type of HipHop. the funky kind. Usually it was west coast, with early NWA, but then with New York GangStarr, who to this day for me are the finest hiphop act to ever record this genre. but then i hear the X Clan. Mos Def, Jurassic 5, The Herbaliser just great smoker's hip hop..The Pharcyde The Roots are just epic. anyway, when the chips are down, and i want to listen to some proper stuff. this is the sh*t. imo. DO YOU LOVE HIP HOP.? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGpvI9vN9qU Edited March 29, 2014 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubit Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) I like some of it but get a bit confused as to where the boundaries are between hip hop and rap etc, but I suppose if you like something, then its good, right?

miles'tone Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Can't listen to your link on my phone unfortunately but I did see Guru's Jazzmatazz at a festival once (Glastonbury?) Incredible! N'dea Davenport sang with them too. Big thumbs up for The Pharcyde also. I was at Phoenix '96 and was literally frog marched to a marquee to see them by a mate who insisted, "you're a bass player, you HAVE to check these guys OUT!!"(I had wanted at the time to see some now long forgotten Indie boll*cks). man he was so right! It was packed in there and they tore it up, had everyone in the palm if their hand. I became an instant fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monckyman Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Tribe called Quest used to get my attention for intelligent minimalism. My daughter seems to end up with some sod or other rapping in the middle of whatever song she records and it seems to me just like lip service. Surely, post will smith and the rapping gap mum ad hip hop is a mouldering in it's grave? Edited March 29, 2014 by Monckyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoombung Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I have only one hiphop record which I still like and play occasionally: http://youtu.be/95gP3m-uBHA I've gotta admit I'm attracted to the spooky atmospheres and loops rather than the lyrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I did see Grandmaster Flash on his first UK tour in 1980 and really enjoyed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Wish is gone to see public enemy in Nottingham last year. I'm not too down on very many groups but a tribe called quest and public enemy feature on my iTunes playlist a fair bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoRi Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 To answer the question, no (I don't like the 'standard', average hip hop).
