i'm gonna say straight up that it doesn't matter if it is or isn't. what matters is whether you dig it or not, and clearly you do.

sometimes i get taken back to middle school, when you were either a rocker or a rapper (there was also the occasional "freak" who was into country). that was it. i hated those days.

this is what labels do to people. music is supposed to unify people, not polarize them. bono (of U2) once said that he believed music could change the world because music can change people. its true. and i think we should leave it at that.

edit: and i just realized how preachy i sound. i'm gonna shut up on the subject for awhile. *slips quietly out of thread*

Thank you.

I'll bow back out now. My "hip hop" is limited to one song currently..."Gold-digger." That IS hip hop, right?

;)

... i can agree with the original poster that it is a good recommendation, but until somebody actually goes out of their way to listen to said recommended album, i don't know if i would be willing to say that the recommendation was "worthwhile."

:confused:

What are you talking about? *I* went out of my way to listen to them. Me; Mr. S£im Citrus... I thought I already said that... I hadn't listened to any of the recommendations before today; I took the time to locate them online and listen to them, and made my comments based on such.

Just because somebody (in this case, Dan the Automator) is associated with hip-hop, and makes hip-hop records, doesn't mean that everything the guy does is hip-hop. Dan himself doesn't appear to identify Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By as hip-hop. In fact, he describes it as a love record. And here's more along those lines:

Musically, Lovage is all Automator, and much of it is organic. As a producer and DJ who is usually associated with hip-hop (though his signature is all over many pop and rock records as well), it could be assumed that much of the music on Lovage is created mechanically. But The Automator is a vintage instrument collector; therefore much of the music is of organic origins.

Emphasis mine; note the use of the word "usually." As in, not always. Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By is interesting, to be sure, but hip-hop it ain't.

I could maybe see the argument for White People, but not Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By.
 
Slim-

It just seems like your trying to start stuff here, all the way back to your first post. Just chill. Some people have a different definition of the word hip hop.

Dead Prez - Lets Get Free

That may be true and, as a general rule, reasonable... but when YME categorizes an album as Electronica, and the artist himself describes it as a "love album," I'm not taking thesannityannex and Fillmoe's word for it that it has to be hip-hop... Hell, you said yourself that it's not really hip-hop; I should ask why are *you* arguing with me?

you need to let it go..... lets agree to disagree.... ill keep believing its hip hop and you keep believin what u believe.....
 
Mr. S£im Citrus said:

How about this, instead: you go on believing what you want to believe, and I'll go on believing what the artist says it is.

i read taht whole thing and no where in there does he state that its not a hip hop album.... he says he wanted to make a love record..... that doesnt tell me anything... a love record can be hip hop too..... ;)

you dont have to take my word for it.... im done arguing...

I don't know about "really into" but I enjoy the Shins now and again. Are they hip-hop? Not so sure...but a good band.

Haha. No they aren't. This used to be the music thread, and has gone through a number of mergers and regroupings. I guess my post got lost in the shuffle somewhere. Oh well.

As for hip hop: A Tribe Called Quest, Blackstar, Deltron 3030, Hieroglyphics, Kweli, Mos Def, Common, Kanye, and my personal favorites: Jurassic 5.

Does anyone know the name of that website that tells you what songs are sampled by other songs, and vice versa? I've used it a few times in the past, but I never saved the URL.

We have the same taste. So exact that I thought I posted this.
 
Sage Francis- A Healthy Distrust (Sage's latest.)


http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...002-7140455-7142435?v=glance&s=music&n=507846


Sage Francis- Personal Journals (One of his best efforts.)


http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...art_li_2/002-7140455-7142435?v=glance&s=music





Padrino-

You said you digged poetry. Check out this Sonic Sum album, Rob Sonic is in a different class. Give Himbro St. a listen. One of the tightest songs I've ever heard.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004SCVR/ref=cm_bg_f_2/002-7140455-7142435?v=glance&n=5174


Rob Sonic- Telicatessen (this ones completely different. Rob created the beats on his own using limited resources. Its all electronically done beats. Lyrics again are amazing.)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002OOUIW/ref=pd_bxgy_text_b/002-7140455-7142435?_encoding=UTF8
 
Prefuse 73- Surrounded by Silence





Peanut Butter Wolf- My Vinyl Weighs a Ton
 
Blackalicious- The Craft

(Different sound than previous albums, some may say more commercial, but I just say more progressive. Blackalicious does it again.)

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...102-6544445-9759311?v=glance&s=music&n=507846


Lateef the Truth Speaker- Maroons:Ambush

(For those of you who haven't heard of him, he is from the group Latyrx. He's got a style of his own and this is his first solo release.)

Biggie's older stuff is classic. He was a standout back then. Even before he hooked up with Puff. Try finding his old stuff, its not all weighed down with the "east vs west" crap.

there are only two album that i own more than one copy of. jeff buckley's 'grace' (original release and remastered legacy edition), and radiohead's ok computer.

there is no way that the notorious big holds more importance than either jeff buckley or radiohead. sorry...just ain't happenin'. :p
 
I think Fillmoe told me about this album.


Biggie Smalls vs. Frank Sinatra- Blue Eyes meets Bed-stuy.


That album is great.
 
DJ Muggs Vs. GZA- Grandmasters

(no, this is not a battle album or mixtap, the name can be confusing. this is a collaboration of GZA and the DJ for Cypress Hill. This is probably one of my favorite GZA albums, after Liquid Swords.)
 
Edan- Beauty and the Beat

(never heard anything like this before. This is the Sgt. Peppers of Hip Hop. Psychadelic hip hop I guess? Well put together though. And he does everything including mixing, sampling, producing.)
 
The Coup- Steal This Double Album

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000069CLP/104-8893865-3529502?v=glance&n=5174

boots riley is very underrated! check these lyrics from "Me And Jesus The Pimp In A '79 Granada Last Night"

"City lights from far way can make you drop yo' jaw
Sparklin' like sequins on a transvestite at Mardi Gras
There's beauty in the cracks of the cement
When I was five I hopped over them wherever we went to prevent
whatever it was that could break my momma's back
Little did I know that it would roll up in a Cadillac
And matta-fact, she couldn't see him like a cataract
And on the track, she went from beautiful to battleaxe"
