Johnny Wishbone Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I was the only rock fan in my circle of friends growing up. All the other lads were into hip-hop so I picked up a lot by osmosis. I'm a big fan of what came to be called "gangsta rap", in particular Dr Dre's "g-funk" sound, and will happily put Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle" in my top ten albums of all time. Among the less mainstream artists I was exposed to, these guys stood out: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I finally listened to Illmatic this morning - good stuff! I've been following Token for a while. He's very, very impressive. Some of his stuff is just bragging and showing off, other songs seem to mean more. Hopefully he'll just get better and better I only recently got into Akala. I'd stopped listening to the rap show years back and generally lost touch with hip-hop. I think it was a thread on here someone shared Akala doing Fire In The Booth? Anyway, he's just brilliant, probably the best around for me, mainly because he's actually making a point with his raps, rather than just bragging about how good he is at rapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I grew up listening to rap, but then I've always seen the lineage back to the classic funk stuff in the 70s. Anyway, if you want a lesson in a moody, funk inspired bassline, there are few better than Dr Dre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) This quite a nice parody of the UK Grime genre. If you find it nonsensical and riduculous then you're getting the joke. Though I quite like it in it's own right. Edited December 5, 2017 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbandit599 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I'm a rocker and most rap stuff passed me by to be honest - too much of a fan of live bands over DJs I think. However, I saw a band called The Tribe at my local music festival a couple of years ago and they were brilliant - proper band, got the crowd up and going. My kids still love their CD two years later - check them out if you get the chance :- http://www.thetribalwave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, probably the all time #1 producer in all hip hop, possibly hitting his peak on Snoop's Doggystyle Also just gonna give a big up for Naughty by Nature, one of the best from the late 80s-early 90s.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm ok with th rap/rock crossovers, Walk this Way and Fight for Your Right to Party, but I soon get bored with a repetitiveness of the vocal delivery on the Rap songs I've tried to listen too, not being a big one for lyrics (except my own lol) and a lot of the time they're not that clear anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ern500evo Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Love these tracks, a real blast from the past. Great tracks from a bass point of view too! I believe the bass part on bust a move was played by Flea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If anyone is making the mistake of just watching the first verse of "I'm Not Racist" by Joyner Lucas you will totally miss the point of the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no point does he categorise 'a whole race', but clearly the archetypes he references do exist. His point, which he gets across brilliantly if you watch the video right to the end, is that understanding can quite often come about by simply communicating.

Si I thought the point was the White guy thought all Blacks were lazy drug sellers and the Black guy thought all whites were racist but when you actually get in a one on one situation views often change, and yes I did watch it right to the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si I did. Provocative may have been a better word, but controversial fits as well. This is also not a condemnation. Hip hop and rap have roots in struggle.

Froggy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Not really rap, but i was excited to see Ice-T's Bodycount are performing at Download this year. I remember listening to them, and Ice-T, back in the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykesbass Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Must check lots of these out (been laptop-less for a few weeks, so catching up). But here's one I heard on Huey's show on 6 Music this morning - lovely jazz sample (no idea what it is though). How do we embed youtube videos on the new site? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EC8lBwroOc Edited February 3, 2018 by Mykesbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
