Kool G Rap - Road to Riches
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNqTz2mMwNE

and my all-time favorite 80's rap song

Big Daddy Kane - Aint No Half Steppin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l2O-JOXG_I

and The Symphony is a hot track too

damn brimz I just saw you already posted Road to Riches oh well worthy of a repost id say ;D
 
Post your favorite hip hop beats....EVER

Easy thread for me, I'd say I look at the beat of a song more than lyrics, not that lyrics aren't important.

(INI - Grown Man Sport)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MIkzyYm3Pk

(Bone Thugz - Crossroads)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JmZ9ADhYg

(The Diplomats - Dipset Anthem)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vThdov1yN8

(KMD - Sweet Premium Wine) wtf rip subroc died way too soon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiXwrM2lbDk

(Scientifik - As Long as You Know)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uGBWAZFSYQ

(DITC - Day One) my favorite Diamond D beat, and favorite Big L verse his flow fits this song perfect

nice tracks guys, and Bill I feel you on just instrumental albums. Pete Rock has a couple that are pretty hot, heres a track I thought was pretty chill. More of a song to rap over though

(Pete Rock - Midnight and You)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S86KAfyfSs

and some other beats I can never skip on my ipod

(The Alchemist ft Nas & Prodigy - Tick Tock)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjxLdsr1hO8

(Mobb Deep - Street Life)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGFoAWde9Uw

(Juelz Santana - Oh Yes) also seen this called Mr. Postman but w/e, one of those songs you either love or hate I'd say

Need new hiphop acts?

I know theres a 90's hip hop thread and thats kinda the shit im looking for but no one posts in that so I wana get a proper hip hop discussion going here. I need some new mc's/bands to listen to, I don't mean whatever hip hop is now I mean boom bap or whatever the fuck you wana call it, real hiphop.

Some of my favorites so far are
Warcloud/Holocaust/Alacatraz, Jedi Son of Spock, ALL I CEEING, Wu-Tang, Jedi Mind Tricks, ODB, Canibus, MF Doom, Yak Ballz

So im looking for more alternative hip hop such as warcloud and jedi son of spock + MF Doom, that kinda shit if you get me maybe you do maybe you don't.
Thanks in advance dudes =D
 
@OTGee

check out: Edo G (also goes by Ed OG), Binary Star, One Be Lo (one half of Binary Star, solo now), Scientifik, K Solo, DITC (anyone in that group check out their solo shit too, Lord Finesse, Big L, Diamond D are my faves), DMG, Camp Lo (they have a weird style of rapping but it flows alright and the beats are top notch, Luchini is a classic), Lil Waynes earlier shit (pre- Carter III is real hot, anything after that is ok but more mainstream), Afu-Ra, AZ, Sam Sneed, MF Grimm, Main Source, KMD (first group mf doom was in), Willie D

not all of those are "alternative" per se but most are somewhat rarer to find fans of. Or theres fans they just dont make music anymore.

Thanks a lot for the post dude, I know most of them and glad to see others liking Binary Star, I mc'ed over the song glen close instrumental and One Be Lo actually messaged me on youtube giving me feedback, pretty sweet huh? Afu Ra and MF Grimm are also some of my favorites.

If anyone else is looking for some good shit to check out, Non Phixion, Virtuso, Killarmy, Killah Priest, Arsonists, Cannibal OX and Icon the Mic King + I highly reccomend giving Warcloud more then one listen, he will grow on you believe me

Anyone else like a few of these earl sweatshirt / tylor the creator shit until all there new stuff, here comes a load of shit nock off hiphop just like everything else that people will find intensely cool. I mean I don't care about when bands get famous and popular, that doesn't matter its the music but it just kinda pisses me off to see everyone posting video's on youtube that they obviously think they are so fuckin bad ass for liking when no one even checked it out when I posted them a few months ago.
 
Someone mentioned Binary Star! Their album got me into hip-hop, all time favourite.

Too excited for the Nas album though as well. OF's supposed to be featured.

A$AP is the crew, Rocky is his name. It still sounds unoriginal no matter how you swing it, but I thought I'd clarify that.

I listened to #The1st28, the mixtape from Curren$y and Styles P. Thought it was aight, the beats were good, and the verses were good, but I always get tired listening to their voices after a while, and can't fucking stand Curren$y on the chorus. It's nice if you like them, but it just wasn't for me. Still liked Curren$y live though (but that was most likely due to Method Man).
