Seriously the things noisia does with rappers are fucking awesome [media][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzdC4RP6M4Q&feature=related[/URL][/media] KRS Ones part starts around the 3 minute mark and it's the best 20 second verse in existence.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fr7DVrtGms[/media] Pfft these are the best 21 second verses.

[QUOTE=Slowbro;35727885]Can't go wrong with some UKG :)[/QUOTE] It's overlooked in terms of the development of UK Music IMO. I remember watching this as a kid, I shit bricks when Romeo flipped out of the sky.
GZA did an episode of Frames for Pitchfork, it's actually pretty interesting [url]http://pitchfork.com/tv/frames/1902-gza/3105-the-jam/[/url]

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Gu9p0fM5w[/media] wiz khalifa dropped the first track for his new album a couple days ago, pretty sweet. Judging by this and the way he was going with Taylor Allderdice it's a bit of a shout back to his early stuff, still got his catchy poppier stuff in there though which I like as well Yet to do a bad album imo so this should be good. Hopefully a bit more solid than Rolling Papers though as it was a bit hit and miss. Some great tracks but a fair few very passable ones.
Thank fuck I didn't really like Allderdice.
That hook is weak as shit but the verses are tight.
Really good article: [url]http://www.good.is/post/america-is-dying-slowly-talking-about-hip-hop-after-trayvon-martin/[/url] [quote]Hip-hop was a problem because an underclass that had been left to die didn’t, and instead created a music decrying their conditions that was vivid, troubling and beautiful, a declaration of existence in the face of those who’d condemned them to oblivion. It screwed up the narrative, and thus was born an anti-rap racism in which symptom became cause, laments of violence and deprivation becoming justifications for violence and deprivation. Anti-rap racists hear rap music as proof that black men pose a uniquely violent danger to the American status quo, even as the entire trajectory of that status quo suggests it’s the other way around. As theories of history go it’s both aggressively incorrect and depressingly unoriginal. Disliking hip-hop doesn’t make you a racist any more than liking hip-hop makes you not a racist, and I’m sure there are plenty of Stormfront enthusiasts with Rick Ross in their iTunes. If you don’t like Jay-Z because you just don’t like the way he sounds, or you’re sick of his cloying ubiquity, or you wish he’d talk about something other than where he’s from for five seconds—hey, I’m not mad, I don’t like Bruce Springsteen for the same reasons. But if you don’t like rap music—a genre that contains multitudes—because of a self-satisfied moralism, or because you’re scared of it, or because you wish those people would stop talking about their problems and get out of your television and radio and kids’ bedrooms: well.[/quote]
Okay, I'll read it.
Okay.
It is good. That part you quoted is more powerful in the article too.
I fucking love GOOD, their articles are never bland.
There's an extreme lack of non-english hip-hop in this thread. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VgXep_ZHPk[/media]
Just got a birthday RT from Tech N9ne. Nothin big but it made me real happy. Last time I was this happy was on my last birthday when I found out that bin Laden got bodied.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAG-Ota2mmA[/media] Many meek fans? He has dropped off a little recently, not being able to vary his style has made him far too one dimensional, but I still love rose red, which was his first song I ever heard from him
His Dreamchaser's mixtape was pretty good. MMG usually put out good shit.
[QUOTE=DJK;35792891]His Dreamchaser's mixtape was pretty good. MMG usually put out good shit.[/QUOTE] Loved Dreamchaser's, thought his freestyle over N'ers in Paris was one of the best done
I love Meek Mill. His style can get repetitive though for sure.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ung29iwcHPE[/media] two of my favorite artists in one song i dont think he'll be putting anything out anymore, which is unfortunate. (xperience that is) you can find him on spotify though. (and that's pretty much the only place)
Can someone tell me what song the guitars sampled from on this track I can't find it anywhere. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yZ7sUilVrE[/media]
[QUOTE=Raizo;35792410]Just got a birthday RT from Tech N9ne. Nothin big but it made me real happy. Last time I was this happy was on my last birthday when I found out that bin Laden got bodied.[/QUOTE] It just felt wrong the way Americans celebrated when he was killed.
It might to other countries but the US got the brunt of Bin Laden's attacks, so I think they might of seen their behaviour as justified. Idk though because I didn't like the way they acted when Saddam Hussein was hanged.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxkC_7iqxnM[/media] this song is kick ass
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vryCIuU3LxM[/media] I think it was time for a song like this to come out seeing as times are changing and the pride movement is getting more and more support.
