at least i think it's old...i don't really get new stuff (except for doseone and one or two more...) today i listened to some samples of KMD and i loved them, so now im downloading (i ordered the album already, but cant wait that long) tunes and i love them...they totally remind me of de la soul (maybe a little less pop, im no expert...). so i was wondering are there any other bands/artists doing this UPLIFTING kind of hip hop? thanks |

Tribe Called Quest Pete Rock and CL Smooth Nas ("illmatic"-era nas) Jungle Brothers Brand Nubian Gang Starr Digable Planets the Pharcyde and then some of the new stuff that is wicked in that way: anything by Madlib (this includes Quasimoto, the Lootpack, the Beat Conductor, Jaylib, his Shades of Blue album, etc.) Diverse Common Mos Def Talib Kweli Cyne McEnroe etc. |

great, thanks a lot. i hope the resto of it is a lot better than jungle brothers tho :) (i saw them live last year and they SUCKED) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wonder what digable planets are up to? they just dissapeared! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, they're kind of old now... i can't say that i've listened to their stuff too much though, so i can't really defend it |
||||||||
|

|
|
eric b & rakim are worth a check if you like oldschool stuff...... paid in full etc..... |
||||||||
|

i've just been listening to some cyne samples and must say i'm completely floored! it's some of the best hip hop i've ever hear!!!! i need to pick up 'time being' asap! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, definitely... and a lot of the old gangsta shit is pretty decent: NWA, the first DR. Dre album, Ice Cube's early stuff, public enemy, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DeadEight > i even thought notorious b.i.g s first album was pretty good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mind you i havent heard it since |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah... what i've heard of it was pretty decent... tupac as well... there's an art to being a compelling thug, no doubt... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont like tupac....nothing against the guy just dont like the way he raps....... method mans first one was grreat too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
notorius big and all this other stuff is ok, but nothing close to KMD and de la soul :) im loving it...i usually listen to melancholic, depressing (in a good way :) ) music so this is a great change. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh fuck i forgot all about the wu... wu is wicked... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really dont like de la soul..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i have couple of their albums...but i don't like them quite as much as kmd, tho they're gerat as well. but the thing is there's usually couple of great songs on their albums and the rest of it isn't all that great... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wu albums were a dissapointment after "enter the 36 chambers".......shame |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer tribe to De La, but i don't feel like i've given De La enough of my time to really compare the two... |

tolstoyed > just not my thing.i could go into the reasons why but it ll be long and boring. one or two tracks i ll tap my foot to though...... |

no way man... RZA is an awesome producer... there are so many solo efforts that are awesome... stuff by Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Method Man, GZA... not to mention that despite the fact that none of their albums are great all the way through, there are plenty of awesome tracks on both Wu-Tang Forever, and Iron Flag... wu is wicked cause they such wordy gangstas.... "socrates philosophies and hypothesies can define how i be droppin' these mockeries, lyrically performed armed robbery, flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me..." |

|
|
DeadEight>i like the first raekwon, method man ,odb and genius......then maybe i just lost interest with them becoming a conglomerate...... and i only like the first wu-tang album..... but i respect rza big time....and im not saying all the new stuff is shit...i love the ghost dog ost. |

it's definitely sketchy, at times... those boys have made a lot of disappointing decisions over the years... but they still know how to get it done, when they're in the mood... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
EPMD that's what i was also looking for, and offcourse LLcool J |
