a massive oversite on my behalf there, saw pete rock on new years day do a classic set of 90's boom bap hip hop

next month seeing KRS-1, the dude is catching a boat to australia because of his fear of fllying, seems odd that the blastmaster is afraid of flying

Funny... no-one's mentioned Dre %)

well Dre was great as part of NWA, then he decided to become a forefront of the fucked up side of hip hop, producking pseudo gangster shit for idiots like snoop

the dude sampled david axelrod which is cool as it gave axelrod the recognition he deserved and he sure has talent but he was major part of the downfall of hip hop

premier is 1000% times the producer dre is, if dre had contibuted something to a positive element of the genre i would give him props but he seemed to be the driving force and major influence as to why modern day hip hop sux

can't think of anything dre did beyond NWA that was in anyway a positice contribution to the genre

my opinion only of course

Axelrod has been sampled so many times that he's contributed more to hip-hop than some of these bubble gum rappers like Solja Boi ever will. His debut album, Song of Innocence, is a classic. Check it out, 1968 Capitol Records!

Hold on a minute i hope your looking at me for confirmation of the genius of said duo .

Oh while i'm here been bumping Dr Octagon of late n luving it .

I 'm a fan of MF Doom as well but i think that KK as DR Oct edges it .

Also alot of Organised Konfusion has been getting rotation in the brimz residence.

I found a Prince Po promo that was never released the other day it's called the Sickness n has production by Dangermouse and DJ paul amongst others , i can only find one track on you tube.

Any one stateside know of the Promo i'm talkin about i'm lookin at you Max:)

once again, Ice Cube's only positive contribution to hip hop was through NWA, his solo career was just mysoginistic shit, the only decent thing he seems to have done was be in the movie Friday (which isn't that good anyway)

thats a matter of opinion but meh w/e... i thought he was ok in boyz in the hood...
 
i like nwa/ice cube/eazy e. my friend told me once when i blacked out drunk, he had to restrain me when i kept playing "fuck the police" over and over and then tried to attack him.

my parents met in the police academy. my father is a detective. my brother is a cop. i am estranged by choice

lethal injection is dope, westside connection made some good stuff too, am i the only one that thinks NWA are overrated? they sound garbage to me, guess i don't like 80s hip hop
few more 90s stuff..smiff-n-wessun, AZ..just as good as nas, common, ill biskits, scientifik, mobb deep, gang starr/guru, OC, the alkaholiks, artifacts
plenty of good stuff still coming out like damu the fudgemunk, jazz libs, 40 winks, DELA, blu, fat jon, kev brown, little brother.. hip hop isn't dead yet~

NWA in my opinion was something that came from frustration of opression, not commercial gangster appeal.

Everything is a matter of taste but NWA and Public Enemey to me have historical social value

Check out Dr. Dooom, it's another Kool Keith project, and he's like Dr. Octagon's arch nemesis. Cool shit.

Check out Dan the Automator too, who produced the entire Dr Octagon album. He's also the second half of Deltron3030 (they're releasing a new album soon!). He has a lot of side projects, this is one he dropped in '98 (in accordance with the thread topic):

Wait wait wait...new Deltron album?

You just broke my mind, dude.
Click to expand...

Yeah, what really blew my mind is the fact Dogfish Head Brewery is teaming up with them and releasing a beer for it.

Named after a key track on the first album, Positive Contact is a 9% ABV hybrid of beer and cider brewed with wood-pressed Fuji apples, roasted farro, a handful of cayenne peppers and a late dose of fresh cilantro. This sweet-and-sour Belgian-ish brew is a light straw color with fruity, cider-like notes. The cayenne and alcohol give it a warming finish.

The beer will be released in a dynamic box set of six 750-ml champagne bottles, with a 10-inch vinyl EP of four new Deltron 3030 remixes created exclusively for this project, and a list of Deltron 3030-inspired recipes from a small group of renowned chefs.
