Do you like Hip-Hop/Rap/Rnb music ? Who are your favourite singers ? What are your favourite labels ? Who are your favs producers and bands ? What style do you prefer ? What is your ultimate classic ? What song do you learn today ? I just want to share my passion for Rap music Cheers, Thom'
There used to be one songstress who came on and then disappeared - Jordan Hill - apparently she wasn't promoted properly, so the eponymous album was the only one that ever appeared. I'm not a fan per se but I happen to like TLC a lot. As for rap music, I used to listen to P.Diddy & Mase's work back then. And of course, Boyz II Men - 'II' being one of my favourite albums. I like the British group Eternal as well. Asian-wise; Brown Eyed Girls (before they went all techno & dance).
Hey today was released "The R.E.D Room", The Game's new mixtape, produced by Dj Skee. The Game's fourth album is released on June 29, and produced by Aftermath Records (Dr.Dre's society). The link : http://m.xxlmag.com/v/News/GamePremieresRedRoom/?KSID=027b3108f080263e5ec577bd39f3502a
I like french hiphop . But I haven't kept up, the last new name for me was Booba a few years ago? NTM probably my favorite ... If you want to discover something old but so good: Show & AG and perhaps also Diamond D. Swedish hiphop is also pretty good btw . The wackest s**t out there is danish . Something german that was pretty good but not around anymore: R.H.P. 'Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD' ... How can I forget some dutch hiphop: Opgezwolle (check Hoedenplank -> bassss ) and Opposites
Yeah Booba relesead an album last year I believe , called "0.9". I like NTM too (do you understand what this name mean ???), it was a good band in the 90's, but now Joey Starr (the leader) had last year some problems with justice :s and Kool Shen released a solo album last year "crise de conscience" but it was said to be a not so good one... This year the band has their first concert in a big stadium, they'll sing their old sings there
Yes I know what it means. I also like IAM but these two I only discovered 5-6 years ago maybe. Before only MC Solaar and these guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7LLznCrJpI Forgot to mention Saian Supa Crew
It's Alliance Ethnik, an old band, they retired since then.. Do you know Sniper ? Do you speak french ?
Yeah Sniper I know of too. Could've sworn I bought that Alliance Ethnik cd but don't see it here. My french is not worth mentioning but if it's not too quick I can understand the general idea. French hiphop just works. THe flow, the beats, don't even need to know french to like it. Also bumped into Diam's cd last year I think or maybe two years ago already. Suprisingly many videos to be found on Vidzone on PS3.
I'm quite fond of Hip-Hop and associated genres. Mos Def is one of my favourite artists, along with The Sound Providers who are a jazz-hop group.
Do you know Diam's released an album this year ? It's "S.o.s". Today the new album of B.o.B is out, and so is the single of The Game, "it must be me", featuring Pharrel I like Mos Def too, I discovered him by his last album,Ecstatic. I love "auditorium", "supermagic" and "twilightn speedball"
I'm mostly into hip-hop influenced electronics like Prefuse73, Daedalus, Hudson Mohawke. Or just Beats, like Floyd the Locksmith, Aphilas or the Instrumental Album from Apollo Brown "Make Do". *Destricto_Ense*if you like Soundproviders, check E Reece & Core Elements "Lisn 2 This" and The Jazz Liberators. For Classics it's The King of Soul James Brown, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye and so on and on... Here's a less known one: Willie Hutch - The Mack As French is concerned, I like TTC or Keny Arkana.
Yep, The Ecstatic was how I became interested in his stuff. Couple of days ago I was going to a Mos Def gig in London but my flight from Dublin was cancelled because of the ash cloud
Hey I'm interested in this guy, Nas, i heard a lot about him, what album do you advice me to buy ? He'll release an album in June I think,"distant relatives"..
ahh, nas is good but i think his classic songs/albums were his best. Illmatic, I am and Nastradamus are some of his best albums in my opinon. i like his songs "The world is yours" and "Nas is like" He was really popular in those days, but nowdays hes not as well known and i think his old albums are alot better than his new ones
R.H.P. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGhmVgL-Hj0&feature=related I only heard this version from the live album, not sure if it was a bootleg. Check out the other songs as well by the same uploader .. Also bumped into some other french artists in my collection: 3eme Oeil, L'Skadrille, Shurik'n, Sinik, couple more and a backup copy of my Illmatic cd . Plus a load of Saian Supa Crew . There's some good stuff from Japan as well that I heard on internet radio but not in my collection yet ...
i'm too a Sinik fan, do you know he had a featuring with James Blunt ? The video sounds well, it's like a rap-jazz-rock mix
