Everything Else Hip Hop

King T is a legend. I think that Xzibit got his break on one of his albums as well.

DJ Quik has some classic albums as well, Way II Fonky and Safe & Sound are my favorites. His new one sounds OK as well.

Andy_rse

A most unlikely collaboration...

A follow up from my discovery of King T & Dj Quik;

Two Awesome tracks!!

And the King T album I got...every track is gold..not one bad song on the album.
The best I have heard all year....says alot about modern Hip-Hop IMO

Discovered this site today: Who Sampled

Find it really handy and interesting as I've discovered a lot of good music by researching the sample credits from albums back in the day.

Also, M!Ck^ I don't think you can go wrong with DJ Quik, I think he's massively underrated. I was pretty impressed by his new album, the first half of it is really good.

Here's some of my favourites from him:

These English rappers somehow managed to get Dominic West aka McNulty from The Wire to do the hook for one of their tracks:

Dre, Cube, Game and Kendrick filming something in Compton today, possibly for the NWA movie or something from the soundtrack?

Boom_Bap

Isnt The Game doing some promo for the anniversary of his first album or something like that?

Lovely Bloke

It's a biopic about NWA I think.

Suge Knight killed a man, and badly injured another yesterday, by driving over them.

He handed himself into police.

WTF. Link

The hip-hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight has handed himself into Los Angeles police in connection with a hit-and-run incident that left one man dead and another injured, following a fight on a film set.

The Death Row Records founder drove his truck over the men in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant in Compton on Thursday afternoon, police and witnesses said, shortly after an argument broke out on the set of a biopic about the rap group NWA.

Police had said some witnesses described the incident as deliberate, and it was being treated as a homicide. Knight’s lawyer, James Blatt, told reporters it was an accident

No One Can Do It Better

Great album I'm listing to at the moment; was just reading up on DOC's history. Really a shame he didn't get to do much after this album after the car crash, only realised that he's on 'The Chronic' in one of the skit tracks. Thought it was put on :P
Anyway an absoulte gem that I again missed out on until now.

Fav tracks at the moment;

Varkov

Wondering if anyone can help me out finding a track? Sounded fairly modern with a bit of a west coast vibe.

Only lyrics I can remember are along the lines of :
"Have to explain to my twins why mommy and daddy don't live together" and "my little boy saying when he grows up he want's to be just like me"

Check out Helter Skelter, his album after the car crash. It's excellent.

Just listening to a few previews on 7digital, you can clearly here the issues with his larynx
Not really sure if I can get past the whole voice thing, such a shame because lyrically it's really good and the beats are savage

Ghostface notices someone heckling him at a show, watch what happens next:

You should try to look for the singles from the first album, there are extra tracks and extended versions of some songs on the album that are well worth a listen.


I found listening to Helter Skelter strange at first, but I got used to the noise fairly fast.
The beats sound like they should be the sequel to The Chronic.

Been listening to some MC Eight / CMW this weekend;
Also some Spice 1, will post about this when I listen to it a bit more.

Some of my fav tracks at the moment;

IMO Still think Quik won the beef with Dollars & Sense but still a great diss track.

Right lads I've been on the verge of going insane for the last 2 weeks trying to remember what song this beat is from. Could anyone help me? It kicks in at about 5.24. Pretty sure it's well known but just can't pit my finger on it
