I grew up listening to those guys you mentioned. I like some of 50's stuff. You get into any Slick Rick? I think I'm more of an underground guy myself.

patdzon - What underground artist do you listen to?

I was looking everywhere for Slick Rick, I couldn't really find anything, I think he was in a song which I really liked but can't find any of his stuff.

Man, I hate Black Eyed Peas...something about them just annoys me, same with Outkast, ARGH.
Mos Def's ok though.

I can take outkast, but can't stand BEP. Mos Def is my fav right now.

[dCepT]

I like outkast...first two albums..ATLiens and Aquemeni, after that they kinda lost it for me. Mos Def is cool... Nowadays I listen to 2pac (Loyal to the Game), Freddie Foxxx, Dilated Peoples, Jill Scott, Goodie Mob, Roots Manuva, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Saul Williams (Amethyst Rockstar, even though that album is kinda hard to place..heh... More Slam poetry than anything else.. any of ya'll seen Slam btw?), Jay Z (The Black Album). Those were the ones on top of my head.. If I go diggin' in the crates there's a ton more I listen to..hehe.

Okay you're getting more into my neighborhood. Freddie Foxx is ridiculous. A correction though. Kast's first two albums were Southernplayalisticadillacmusik and Atliens. Their very first one is nice. Kind of reminds me of Pharcyde a little. Jay-Z The black album is one of my favorites too. Did you like the last Roots album?

[Sinix]

Murs & slug - Felt 2 is the hip hop album of the year.

I'm a big fan of lots of stuff... del tha funky homosapien, hieroglyphics, atmosphere, murs, aesop rock, mf doom, mr. lif, black star(mos+talib), dr. octagon, handsome boy modeling school, etc.

[prostate sunrise]

felt 2 is that good sinix? might have to pick it up. i like the first one.

[cotron]

deltron3030!!

[Main Loop]

bout time someone started a hip hop thread...

I like a lot of old school and rare hard-to-find stuff, I get bored of the mainstream and near-mainstream stuff that comes out nowadays..

stuff ive been listening to lately, i dont even know if most people have heard of a lot of it:

Basik - At The Mercy of the City
Bleu Collar - Bleu Collar
Question Mark Asylum
The Cuf - Cuf Daddy, Cufilation
The Goats - Tricks of the Shade
The Grouch - Fuck the Dumb, They Dont have This
A Tribe Called Quest - First 3 albums
Redman - Dare Iz A Darkside
King Britt - Adventures in Lo Fi
Polyrhythmaddicts, anything Dj spinna related

I can sit here and name names all day.. Ill have to look for Felt 2, been loving Murs for a while.. Freddie Foxx is dope, one of my all time favorites.. so's the 1st 2 Outkast albums.. aquemini was alright, they went off the deep end after that

[Sinix]

felt 2 is that good sinix? might have to pick it up. i like the first one.

Yes, it's that good. Everyone I've made listen to it simply loves it. It's definitely better than the first one, and I love the original too. It's on another level.

[Dead Road 7]

I hella haart hip-hop:
I'm a big fan of anything on Stones Throw Records, i.e. Quasimoto, MF DOOM, Madlib, M.E.D.
I also like Common (especially the new album) as well as Talib Kweli and a lot of different DJs (Krush, Dangermouse, Format).

By the way, does anybody know anything about the new MF DOOM/Dangermouse CD. I can't really find any good info and didn't know if anybody had read anything.

[Zord]

I can't believe noone's mentioned Wu Tang here. :x

[JackalAnubis]

if you're into tribe then you should definately check out little brother, they're sick. if you like that east coast wu tang style check out mood doom. also an absolute must is madlib, he's done a bunch of remixs of old blue note recordings. I've gots lots of random shit from binary star to quasimoto, but can't really recomend an album just mp3s...

oh yeah and a really good slick rick song is "children's story"

great taste man, im a big fan of quasimoto (loved his first one and love the second one despite the mixed reviews), madlib (madvilliany is a classic) lootpack, mf doom ( i have yet to check out operation doomsday, they should rerelease it), little brother, , common (saw him live in vegas at the house of blues, dope!) de la soul, pharcyde, el-p,company flow, dj shadow, dj krush, latyrx, dan the automator...anticon has some dope shit too...to many to name

here is a link for the dangermouse cd if u havent seen already http://www.dangerdoom.com/

I have all of that.. new little brother comes out september 13.. madlib's blue note thing is nice.. i wasnt all that into the new quasimodo, especially since he raised the bar so high with the first one, i think his brother Oh No's album The Disrupt is way better.. MED's album is good too.. i think he does better in collaborations.. Mood - Doom is pretty old now, maybe like 98? talib was still really underground.. good reccommendations there

[R'john]

i be likin the new kanye joint,mos def,nas'stillmatic album,canadians mood ruff...

I'm with you on Tribe and I remember QMA. Some of the other ones have lost me. I tend to be up on DJ Spinna. I have Strange games and things, Brazil funk, The beat suite, Heavy beats(love the Kweli/Apani B. jawn). I need to get deeper into that underground ish. Mainstream tends to give me a headache these days unless I'm dancing to it. I have to admit though, Kanye Diamonds and Gold Digga are listenable. I'll probably buy "late registration".

"Childrens Story" is classic. My favorite is "Mona Lisa" though. Little Brother is one of my favorites. The listening is a nice album.

shit really? I only heard of them a couple years ago. another cd worth picking up is urchin, its just beats but some cool stuff none the less. here's a random song I heard while in canada, I'm not really feeling the rapping but the beat is pretty sic skratch bastid (http://www.skratchbastid.com/media/bastidpipismitty.mov)

[Mike Frank]

I'm not heavy into this shit but there is some stuff I enjoy a lot - Eyedea & Abilities, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Mr. Lif, El P, Immortal Technique, Blueprint (Soul Position), some Wu-Tang, plus a bunch of other stuff I've heard but I havent gotten my hands on.

I go Amazon with some of my lost CDs nowadays. "The Tipping Point" was pretty good to me. It's a short album, but it packs a lot in each song. The single doesn't really do it justice. Still I've found that people either really love it or are a little disappointed by it. I'd say borrow it first then cop it.

promoe is cool, i aint heard him in a while, since loop troop was around..

[dCepT]

Promoe came out with a solo-album not too long ago... Just heard one single off it, though. Looptroop is cool... those guys have a LOT of energy on stage!

[Sketch]

Some good stuff mentioned so far. Here are some of the stuff I'm into lately...

1. Moka Only
2. Felt
3. Any darker Methodman songs(I hope one day he realizes his potential)
4. DJ Shadow
5. Jadakiss (he kills 50)

I wish I could have put Kanye West in that list but I'm not really feeling his new album... I love about two or three songs from it. But the rest seems like garbage. Maybe it just hasn't grown on me yet.

I can't stand it when Little Brother is compared to Tribe Called Quest(they are compared all the time). Tribe Called Quest is so much more than LB. I like Little Brother because they have a nice chill out vibe but their producer, 9th Wonder, gets really boring. All his beats are the same. I love some of his songs but they are similair. Check out the Murs/9th Wonder album.

I heard Midnight Marauders by TCQ and man I swear it was so hard to tell if the song ended or not, really boring ass album.

Deltron 3030 = tha man. Greatest hits was severly disapointing.

[Sketch]

that's the first time I've heard anyone say anything bad about old TCQ. To each his own. But to me, Tribe had such a good feel to it. Granted they did have a few bad songs... not many though.

[Onir]

happy to see people on here that listen to my kinda stuff! I, too, am a hip-hop head; most of the people I listen to have already been listed but here they are again: Jurassic 5, Heiroglyphics, Souls of Mischief, Blackalicious, Lyrics Born, Mos Def, Black Star (their one album), Psyche Origami, Lifesavas, ATCQ, (though they are part of Heiro) Opio and Del, DJ Krush (older stuff mostly), Jedi Mind Tricks, and some others I can't think of at the moment.

Sketch, I'ma have to agree with ya. I'd say Tribe was one of the main groups that drew me to this style of music, and they still are one of my favorite groups.

/salute

[flex mathews]

i've been know to hip and/or hop. actually, i go to shows quite regularly.
here are a few people i've seen live recently:
louis logic, odd couple, del, fatlip, hiero, mr. dibbs, dj p, ztrip, jedi mind tricks, roots, immortal technique, murs, jeru the damaja, gangstarr, premier, nonphixion, mf doom, brother ali, jzone, aesop rock, slug, atmosphere, 7l and esoteric, pharcyde and a few i can't remember.

although i am a fan of lots of hiphop, i prefer the jazzy and dj stuff: MF doom, madlib, lord quas, cut chemist, numark, shadow

and i also support my local scene:
flex mathews, seez mics, educated consumers, k-khromasome, n.a.i.l.s., dojah raze, skillz(formerly madskillz, but he ain't mad no more).

[Main Loop]

anyone listen to the old breakbeats and originals they sample? a lot of it is some wierd stuff, but there's a lot of really good music to be discovered.. Loving Allen Toussaint right now

whhhhaaaaaa.... *shakes head* first 3 tribe albums are undisputedly some of the best hip hop ever.. i guess you're into more bouncier stuff, but i cant believe a hip hop head wouldnt like that album

[vigostar]

ahh flex mentioned one i was wondering why no one mentioned.. Jeru the damaja!!! souls of mischief, gangstar, roots, talib, cool g rap, masta ace, im a big fan of luda (who i think has crazy skills), eminem (when he did drugs) and mainly old shool stuff... blackmoon, tribe, wu tang (first ablum), nubian bros., there was a dude called ziggy back in the day also.. i cant find any of his shit now... anyways.. i feel like im running down memory lane... i better leave before I take out a spray can and tag up on someone building!

BTW- i agre with main loop... midnight mauraders has to be one of te best hip hop albums ever made.. without question....

[J-boogie]

whhhhaaaaaa.... *shakes head* first 3 tribe albums are undisputedly some of the best hip hop ever.. i guess you're into more bouncier stuff, but i cant believe a hip hop head wouldnt like that album

Most definitely. TCQ are legendary. Little Brother is nice but they are not TCQ. This isn't the first time I heard someone say they couldn't get into Tribe.

Any Dipset heads here?

[Sketch]

Flex matthews, nice choice in Louis Logic. Love his sense of humour. Skillz is crazy good too. I loved his Shaq dis mixtape.

Sorry J-Boogie... I HATE Dipset. I can't think of one good thing about them. But I guess they're one of those groups that grow on you. I can't stand what G-Unit represent but I still like em.

[Onir]

although i am a fan of lots of hiphop, i prefer the jazzy and dj stuff: MF doom, madlib, lord quas, cut chemist, numark, shadow


I agree with you 100%; I just recently got into MF Doom and I'm loving his stuff; can't touch cut chemist, numark or shadow either :)

Ooo just noticed vigostar was talkin about Jeru! Jeru is amazing in my opinion, love everything I've heard from him. And I have listened to a nice amount of Talib; loved his older things and was sad how he changed his style up more recently, so I haven't listened to much of his new stuff.

No idea if you guys know of Psyche Origami, but they are absolutlely amazing in my opinion; if ya guys ever wanna hear a nice group I'd say go give them a try.

Agree with all of this.

About TCQ, I guess I gotta hear the album again, it was some time ago but it really didn't impress me much...

[klid]

anything DOOM, Def Jux, or pre97 is fine with me.

dipset sucks, but cam is ill on the mic when he wants to. g-unit maybe the worst crew currently in hip hop.

Mood-Doom came out 97-98

i still bump wu tang faithfully

the dangerdoom album is the best hiphop album of 05. the ATHF skits are mad funny

[Sketch]

MF Doom is awesome... but I do like most of my hiphop with a good catchy beat. I think some of his stuff is too 'noisy'. I totally respect him though. I just wish I knew what the hell he's rhyming about half the time.

I love old Wu. Such good tunes. They had everything.... beats, rhymes and image. I love the old Method Man videos, they where so raw and dark. Too bad he's done so many shit things of late.

[flex mathews]

Flex matthews, nice choice in Louis Logic. Love his sense of humour.

louis logic is the hot shit. i'm a huge fan. i just went to a show he was headlining. i got a chance to hang out with him before and after the show. i had a few drinks with him... very cool guy. i'll post some pictures from the show in a day or two.

for all the doom, dangermouse, and adult swim fans, check this shit out: http://www.dangerdoom.com
i just got the promo, and its pretty dope.

[Sketch]

Flex, that Dangerdoom stuff is really cool. I like it better than most Doom. That's pretty sweet that you where hanging with Logic. I bet having drinks with him would be pretty funny. I need to start going to shows... not too many people I know are into the same music as me though.

I've just finished listening to two new albums...

The first one was Little Brother's new one. I liked a lot more than their first. There's some really nice stuff on it. Although I still think a lot of their stuff just melts together and you can't really tell one song from the next. Good chill out stuff though.

The second one was Atmosphere's new record. This is a must buy! So fucking good! I liked the Felt album but this is a couple steps above. He is by far one of the most underated mcs. Go get it when it's out!

Sorry J-Boogie... I HATE Dipset. I can't think of one good thing about them. But I guess they're one of those groups that grow on you.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Dipset fan. I happen to love the new Juelz Santana record though. It's silly rap, but it's a distinct style and direction which is refreshing (they know they're saying silly ish). This new video by Santana was even a break from typical a$$ shaking (not that I'm complaining) and ice grills. They remind me of some of the earlier NYC rap groups in that it seems like they're actually having fun. It's hard to be a little different now and not be considered underground or corny(in the minds of mainstream listeners).

Speaking of Ice grills, what do you guys think about crunk/mainstream southern rap? I know everyone gets into Outkast, Dungeon family, Luda, or maybe even Scarface at some point, but what about Mike Jones, TI, Young Jeezy, etc.?

[Sketch]

I'm against most of the southern shit... but I am really digging Paul Wall and Mike Jones. They sound like they're having fun. And besides saying the usual shit they have a really cool flow about them. It's basically crap but I like it(for now).

Stop drawing and go check out Atmosphere's new album!

I'm against most of the southern shit... but I am really digging Paul Wall and Mike Jones. They sound like they're having fun. And besides saying the usual shit they have a really cool flow about them. It's basically crap but I like it(for now).

I find myself listening to those guys, getting really "crunk", but not really dissecting their lyrics. In a club, their music is perfect, but on chill mode back in my living room or listening to my headphones, they don't get that much air time.

[Sketch]

I've been listening to more Paul Wall today... it's actually really good stuff. Even though he's saying the usual bullshit he's also on some honest Kanye West type stuff. Good clean beats too. I dig it.

Nappy Roots are a really good Southern group too.

[Feyz]

Go support real hip hop and buy little brother The Minstrel Show... for the sake of good music.

[Sketch]

I love listening to one song of Little Brother but when I listen to a whole album I get really bored. All the beats melt together and their voices aren't distinct from each other.

[Sketch]

cthomp, the rappers you hear in Feel Good Inc are De La Soul... awesome group! I love all their stuff, old and new.

And if you like the rap from Clint Eastwood then go and buy some Del right now.

I've been a huge Kool Keith fan for a while. I think I got into him when I heard the song he did with ODB on that WWF soundtrack. Through Keith I got into Del, Heiro, Handsome Boy, MF, el-p, and nonphix. Underground hip hop is usually more original than mainstream hip hop but, at the same time, is far more hit and miss. Mainstream is all about going platinum whereas underground is more about getting and maintaining a fanbase.
