Hip Hop (Boom Bap) - The Thread

We have a jazz thead. Why souldn't we have a Hip Hop/Rap thread aswell?

When i was younger.. All i listened to was hip hop. I haven't listened or been into for a couple of years now, but i'm starting to get into it again. It's genre which contain some of the best and worst music ever made. I can understand why some people love it, and why some people hate it. But awful rap music seems to be a more nowadays kind of thing, so much amazing rap music was made in the 80's & 90's.

Post your favorites here

couldn't you have just bumped like one of the thousand other hip-hop threads?

Apart from a few bits n' bobs I only like the 'golden age' of hip-hop and Street Sounds era Electro, which was what I grew up with.

I think UK hip-hop would be more my cup of tea nowadays, but don't know anything about it as I have enough on my plate with all other genres of music lol. TBH at 36 years of age I couldn't give a flying fuck about the opinions of some homie from the hood.

Nice track

Good lord beerwolf.

You're right, just searched. There's literally thousand hip-hop threads. Weird i haven't really seen alot of them before. My fault, should have searched first.

But fuck it. We'll just have one more, eh?

This one is actually one the very few newer hip-hop tracks I've enjoyed in recent years.

I used to hate it cause I only knew the shit that's shit enough to make it over to German media (and the sad, local human beings who try to emulate a subculture that doesn't exist here).

Then I got introduced to stuff like this

and I realized the genre has to offer great things. I just bought a used copy of Doom's Special Herbs Boxset for around 30 euro. Love the guy (obviously)

Everbody loves Doom. Understandeble, he's amazing. One of my all-time favorites aswell.

I have to take that back. The new Beastie Boys album is pretty good.

I like hiphop here and there, but I'm really only into the instrumental electronic hiphop stuff. Like Harmonic 313, et al.

Tribe is definitely in the top for me. First hip hop group I really enjoyed.

Black Bastards is a must have in your collection of Hip Hawp

Love that one.

El-P's sci-fi'ish/electronic samples mixed with gritty hip hop beats. One of the most gifted Hip Hop producers. I miss the early 2000's Def Jux.

I actually think it was El-P that got me into electronic music.

These aren't even related to the rapping chick on Guinesses but they're quite good and both tracks deserve being mentioned:

(surely Blockhead's production is the selling point though)

Jean Grae

Especially this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanius

Malcom Kipe's Breakspiracy Theories Vol.1 is a must have also, So fucking satisfying with a few smokes!

you have to listen to this straight after to feel full satisfaction

I was just looking for a youtube vid containing the audio, I didn't know there was a video for this track. It's probably the strangest video I've seen in a while.
