Cold Night In Paradise - Sabotage Party

I quite like the production in this. Bit poppy but for some reason I'm enjoying it.

What puts me off about that tune is the guy singing. Otherwise it's alright.

Banana Shaped Armour Plates - Jam Baxter (from Contact Play)

Why have I only just seen this thread?!?!

Always been into Hip Hop
My first favourite album was Cypress Hill's IV (The one with skeletons doing the "See no, Hear no, Speak no evil" on the front cover) and one tunes that's stuck with me through the ages is Audio X (we gonna blow yo heeeaaad up, synthetic blows dey gonna make you geeeet up, give me any rekkid n I'll flip it indie style,
Niggaz can't help it, cause they bumpin the shit looouud!) ^_^

Other fav artists have been J5, Braintax, Skinny Man, Rodney P (most of the Low Life Records lots really), Dialated Peeps, Wiley (his stuff on the lables that haven't said "we want this from you" has been quality), obviously Mr. Manuva...

Hands down, best UK Hip/Trip Hop label has to be Ninja Tune. I mean...
Bonobo & Speech Debelle - Sun Will Rise ... It just makes you wanna sit back, relax and smile ^_^

Flying Lotus and Samiam have been really really interesting ever sinse they came on the scene and have continued to put out amazing music
The stuff coming out of LA at the moment actually have some of the most interesting takes on Hip Hop I've ever heard.
Shlomo - Hot Boxing the Cockpit - Really wonked out stuff, like Dj Q-Bert on Ket

Then obviously you've got all the Turntablists like Q-Bert, Shadow, Babu, Yoda, Kid Koala (Ninja Tune once again!), Rob Swift, Kentaro, Food, Krush (One of my favourite all time tracks - "Song 1" from the ablum Zen).

Gunna stop goin on now

TEMPZ - Next Hype

Almost as good: Giggs - Hustle On

Wordsmith and Chester P battle.

...RIP wordsmith xD

 

[the outsider]

I was joking of course...I just think there's something hilarious about rap songs based around absurdly unrealistic criminal boasts (in a tongue-in-cheek way), like NWA - Alwayz Into Something or Big L - Lifestyles of the Poor and Dangerous.

Biggie & Method - The What is an example of what I'd consider a good rap song

Music is entertainment in the same sense movies are.

Don't read so much into it.

Imagine putting Giggs anywhere close to the same category as Big L

Big L was the fucking best!!!

 

[The RZA]

Yea man, RIP Big L. Fuckin legend.

Budden just fucks it over lyrically on this.

"I've lost so many relationships....just cos I can't relate to shit".

That album is way underrated. The guys a fuckin beast.

 

[parttime crackhead]

Budden is a king. One of the best.
