Wow! That looks sick!!

Me and the lads used to pick up all the tapes and records of this show growing up. We even tried tuning in a few times with no success....this is only at the advent of dial up.
When we first heard Eminem on the show, we took over my friends phone line and downloaded his freestyle, it must have taken a day or 2.

I got tapes sent over to me,I have one somewhere I'm not even sure if it's stretch and bobbito with Eminem before most had heard of him,few months later and he was a household name.I reckon I'm going to have a busy time matching up and finding the beats used in freestyles on this documentary.

This is a great read. I would recomend stopping and paying attention to the embedded tracks along the way

A tragic oul end for yousef

Boom_Bap · 30-09-2015 5:10pm

Twas indeed, I'd recomment Sach's albums after his death as well. Real good stuff.

Boom_Bap · 02-10-2015 10:22am

Great interview and studio performance from Prof.

I wouldn't say I'm his biggest fan, but this has certainly turned my head.

Had lost most of my physical copies of my fav albums so scooped these up really cheap online

Muirshin Durkin · 29-10-2015 4:43pm

Get that a man a Jheri curl and a 40 stat.^

Boom_Bap · 31-12-2015 10:07am

If you get a chance, check out the J.Cole homecoming shows that were on HBO recently.
A really interesting look into Cole's lead up to the Forrest Hills Drive album release, the stresses due to him producing and mixing, early listenings for people and the release reaction.
Then it goes on to a bit on tour life post release. It's one of the best hip hop shows I've watched in a long time. I'd say you wouldn't need to be a fan to engage with it...but you may become one afterwards.

Get over to this site quick, it's going to expire today.

Free DL of the first Naughty By Nature album, which is a classic and always overlooked. There's also a donwload of remixes from the album.

I've never listened to them full stop! Looking forward to getting stuck in.

Boom_Bap · 01-01-2016 10:33am

Looking forward to checking out the remixes, not much time over the holidays for sitting down with some music

03-01-2016 1:33am

Ninteen Naughty III is another cracker of an album.
Poverties Paradise is also amazing. Cut 4 or 5 songs off it and it's a 5 mic classic in my opinion.

If you want to go real deep down the rabbit hole, they had a band called Rottin Rascalz on their label, or they produced for them and featured on their only album called Rotten To Da Core. Another slept upon gem from the 90's.

Gonna pick that up at the weekend on 7digital. But not gonna rush it. Gonna get some more play out of the first album.
It's really well produced IMO and lyrically NBN are very strong.

Treach is an excellent rapper, he should be knocking on the door of top 10 lists but is never mentioned. Probably because he started showing his willy in movies.

Tuuuune!

Just picked up Nighteen Naughty III, hope to give some of my thoughts on it over the weekend.

10-01-2016 12:21pm

Again what can I say. Just wow.

Another phenomenal album. Only thing I can notice is this one seems to be a little bit more sample heavy (Not that it bothers me)

This track is a gem!

Hot Potato & Written on Ya Kitten (HaHa) are great tracks too.

Boom_Bap · 11-01-2016 10:28am

I threw on the first NBN album yesterday while doing some cleaning about the house, it's still incredible.
Going to listen to Poverty's Paradise today as well.

Any good?

Also, can you recommend anything similar to NBN? With similar production etc..

Poverty's Paradise is really good, it's a bit more commercial, but those commercial songs are real good as well. I think Vin Rock gets more mic time as well.

I particularly love this song

Check out Rottin Raskalz, produced by Kay Gee from NBN

Others with a similar sound from that time off the top of my head are:
