Hip-Hop/Rap kind of thing…

Started by gapu in Other Bands & Artists

hey ho

i am looking for stuff by PUBLIC ENEMY and RUN D.M.C.

but not anything by them…
for example.. i do have “He got game” by public enemy and i really love it.. so i am looking for songs by this group (and even by others) who have songs like this one… i like it because of its relaxing sound, the beats, the lyrics, etc

second example i have “its tricky” by RUN D.M.C. and i really love it :) i think it really rocks.. so you know i have 2 hip hop/rap songs that i love.. and you know which direction i like to get more of..

you also can recommend other bands dont have to be one of those.. but i am looking for those as well…

anyone can help me with that..?

A Tribe Called Quest are awesome, esp. the Midnight Marauders album.
I can also recommend The Roots, The Goats, early Cypress Hill Stuff, House Of Pain, Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy and , yes, The Fugees.

If you don’t mind the German language check out Fettes Brot, Kinderzimmer Productions or Fischmob as well.
Fischmob were really brilliant as they also had indie rock influences in their music.

I’m not really into rap but Cypress Hill are great and Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A. is a class album.

Lyrics Born’s new aalbum “Same shit diffferent day” is really reall good and one of my albums of the year.

If you like public enemy buy Musick in our Mess age they have more Live instruments and is a very under rated album. But i like all there albums so i would say buy all of them!

Or buy some Kool Keith stuff they have quite chilled beats at times Dr Octogan is aa good place to start and it’s a filthy album:)

Public Enemy “muse sick and our mess age” - alltime classic. Absolutely briliant album.
House of pain’s first album was also nice.

P.E’s Nation of Millions, and Fear Of The Black Planet are awesome albums-Revolverloution is good also, check a song called Other Side Of The Wall-Are You Gonna Go Our Way.

also when you get time check out Dalek-on Mike Pattons ipecac label, and then People Under The Stairs -O.S.T. Nice summer hip-hop party tunes.

and then buy everything the beastie boys have done starting with Paul’s Boutique ;)

I do - I think most of the bands I like have already been mentioned in this thread though. I’d also recommend getting some Wu Tang Clan and 6ft Deep by Gravediggaz, old skool stylee :D

Old school Hip hop you want Ultramagnetic MC’s Critical Beatdown, you will have nearly every sample the prodigy stole right there. Krs One is good and BDP.

Wierder Hip Hop- Clouded, Dose One, Prefuse 73

And Roots Manuva is a personal fav very chilled.

Its worth checking out the Judgement Night soundtrack - a mix of metal and rap. Also in the same vein, get Stacked Up by Sensor.

I agree that PE’s It Takes a Nation of Millions is a classic album, as well as Cypress Hill’s Black Sunday. There’s to much crap around that passed off as rap these days.

Coming to think about it, doesn’t the UK have its own rap/hip hop scene or are we just sheep and just listen to what that wanna be Yank (twat) Tim Westwood for anything American?

Just a thought.

They’re brilliant i don’t have their album yet but i have some of their songs as MP3’s and one on a Rocksound CD.They deserve to be as big as 50Cent but they’ll probably just be a cult act.

Hip-hop/rap doesn’t “do” anything to me, it doesn’t even tickle the nuts. I’d rather listen thru the whole Bon Jovi album and get more “tickles” from that.

Worst post ever.

Madvillainy by Madvillain would probably be my favourite hip-hop album.

Rap is a style of vocal performance. A number of Chili Peppers songs are ‘rap’.

Anyway, you’re right, a lot of hip-hop is arrogant, lazy bullshit. But there’s a lot of intelligent - usually lesser known - hip-hop which isn’t like that. Well produced and melodic backing (not just a simple looped sample), intelligent lyrics and no ‘uh, yeah’ bollocks in between every line.
I understand that a lot of people aren’t keen on the sound of rapping vocals, which is fair enough, but if you’re calling an entire approach to music - one with its share of incredibly talented and original artists - ‘utter shit’, and basing that on the stuff you see on MTV, it does strike me as very silly. It’s like saying all rock music is shit and basing it on Busted and Good Charlotte’s videos.

I thought it was funny when I was listening to “Thong Song” by Sisqo (not by my own free will, naturally) and I noticed he’d recorded an entire track on the song of him just going “uh uh uh uh”, “yeah” and “come on”. *sigh*

I like some rap, but it has to be “creative” stuff, not fucking N.E.R.D. or G-Unit, more Beastie Boys, Tupac’s albums (while he was still alive, none of that post-humous dead horse flogging), Dr. Dre and Snoop’s early stuff and the first Wu-Tang Clan album. I can’t really be arsed looking for good rap music though, I’m much more preoccupied with other genres. Aii! You know how we do! Keepin’ it real, homes!

Serious, try Madvillain. It’s the most obviously creative hip-hop I’ve ever heard - partially because it’s a collab between MF Doom and Madlib, the latter of whom has release a number of bizarre instrumental hip-hop albums. It doesn’t follow any conventional hip-hop rules (the verse/chorus x3 and fade structure which even the best stuff seems to stick to, for example), it’s completely mad. Twenty-two tracks in about forty-six minutes.

Of all those MTV style rap acts - 50 cent is the worst !!

:eek: !!!!

I hate when they release a song and its ” featuring ” some

guy - and the guy who is ” featuring ” either does ALL the

lyrics - or just the ” uh huh yeah ” bits !!

And why when memebers of a rap collective go solo, do they

get all their previous band memebers to guest on the ”

album ” ?!?!

” The new album from Lloyd Bank$ ( featuring everyone from G - Unit , Dr. Dre, Eminem Snoop Dogg ) :p ”

Shite !!

You wouldnt get ” The solo Noel Gallagher album ( featuring Liam, Gem, Andy Bell and Zak Starkey ) ”

:D
