The EADD Hip-Hop music thread

Fliptrix is pretty sick. Can't stand his name though...put me off for ages.

Recently got into Madvillian and Madvilliany is probably one of the best hip-hop albums ever..
 
something about the little broken xylophone type melody in this track chills my soul:

Roc Marciano - Snow

Really like the whole Marcberg album... sounds lazy in some places but he's got his own way of doing things which I admire.

Danny, just checked the 4 Owls, like it, nice simple yet effective video too imho.

Someone dropped me a copy of the Marcberg album and at first I wasn't into it but after the third or fourth run through I really got into it. Happens a lot with me with when an mc or producer has got their own little intricate world going on, at first it sounds wrong but once you've spent some time there it makes sense. However it's obviously opinion innit, it might not grow on you at all!

Someone sent me a track with a Bollywood sample in so I had to hunt down this : Tommy Evans - Move Now. I don't like the video with his big daft grinning face and his positivity can have the opposite effect on me sometimes but I love this tune cos of the big Bollywood samples! It's good to have on headphones when you're missioning across town. Be good on a bright cold day like today.

I dunno Mausberg, or Showbizz I'll have a listen, cheers!
 
Showbizz is a legend , member of D.i.T.C , n doesn't really get much recognition outside of the Underground scene , maybe he;s happy with that .

His use of samples is really great here is abreak down of one his more recent productions

"Attitude. More specifically, the "hip hop attitude." That's one of the core components of any of hip hop culture's four primary elements. And in O.C. and A.G.'s "2 For The Money" (beat by Showbiz), there is no shortage of attitude. Moreover, there's no shortage of the components that comprise a dope song.

O.C., long one of the most surefire (but slept-on) lyricist to ever grab a mic, sets off "2 For The Money" with a bravado that can only be summed up as New York City confidence. O's rhyme flow is as fluid as it is abrasive. And his lyrical content—always engaging—is as clever as it broken-glass serious. Then there's A.G., every bit "street corner" and aggressive as O.C., but less agile and more direct.

Then there's Showbiz on the beat. Here, the fellow D.I.T.C. brethren crafts one razor blade of a track. Showbiz's arrangement on this beat is masterwork! He builds the core groove around bass piano chops. But the real standout work on this heater is how he uses horn and string chops to weave a structure that packs a powerful punch. The first horn sample is a quick 3-note phrase that jabs in and out. And then there's the string samples. Dope! Showbiz uses several string samples. The first one dances up and down in a suspense-like fashion; it's this string sample that's prioritized during the first quarter of the verses in the song. The second string sample is an ascending, bottom-heavy string-horn phrase that carries a sustained whine after its crescendo. It's this string-horn phrase that Showbiz uses to relieve the first string sample, at the midway mark of the verse. After the string-horn phrase gets burn for four bars, the first string sample returns, followed by one more 2-bar round of the string-horn phrase, which finally gives way to the climax: a subdued and sustain brass stab with all other music elements (drumork included) dropped out.

Finally, got a mention that the hook cuts on this song are served up by DJ Premier.
 
I realised that I know some of the Show & AG stuff already, listening to their Goodfellas album (?) on youtube at the mo, goes well with this cheese on toast (at the risk of being moved into the 'what are you munching on' thread.
