Hip hop / rap

[tiny_tove]

I listen to a lot of hip hop, especially European/East European/South american.


I like when vocals are not necessarily fast, beats are slow and very musical.
There are several similarities to certai industrial music and I cannot help enjoying some macho imagery when credible.

I wil post more from home, especially Italian so-called death-hip hop scene, with whom I have been close for a while dure to collaborations with Lou Chano (Trips und traume) and the guys at Quadraro basement.

My faves of the last years:

Joe Rilla (Germany)

Do people go on hip-hop forums and discuss Power Electronics?

Is anybody here who forces you to read this topic?

Does anyone recall Crass's version of "Do They Owe Us A Living?" on the first Bullshit Detector comp.? The one just with drums and vocals. Couldn't find it on Youtube to post here, but it occurred to me that maybe Crass inadvertently invented hip-hop.

they arrived about 6/7 years later eheh
also youth brigade and several other old school classic punk project inserted rap like rhymes... this long before crossover/rap metal etc.

I probably will give it a try at some point one day when I'm bored enough at work. :)

Rinse FM have/had a thing where they would play demos straight off soundcloud live with no previews, I was really tempted to upload some harsh noise with a grime/dubstep-sounding title but never did.

Ha, I was immediately put in mind of the Steve Ignorant contribution to Current 93`s Killy Killy Killy (A Fire Sermon)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2CFegzCvf0

He comes in at 5:45. Not the best Ignorant cameo, frankly almost ruins an otherwise great piece of soundwork, but could almost pass for Run DMC! "They are the bleeders!" always brings a smile to my face. In a good way. Though I much prefer his somewhat angrier delivery on Falling Back In Field Of Rape

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0S187ICeG8

...but as that is less "rap" like I guess I`m off topic.

Which reminds me. The extended ambient remix of KKK, The Dreammoves Of The Sleeping King, even features what almost passes for record scratching around the point at which Ignorant comes in, possibly Stapleton taking the piss upon precisely the observation observed above...

Pusha T is the jam.

heck out Method Man's Tical – not because it's got a lot of classic Wu bangers, but because the production is plain grim. Seriously sounds like what you might get if the 80's CMI roster were to put out a rap album.

agreed.  all of the early wu-related stuff has that grim, dark production.. the tracks that rza produced, that is. 

i listen to a lot of hip hop.  the standard classics; public enemy, run dmc, a tribe called quest, (old) dr. dre, (old) snoop, (old) ice cube, beastie boys, krs-one, wu-tang/method man/ODB/gravediggaz (gravediggaz being my favorite of all the wu-related projects) etc....

Smash The Mac is real hip-hop. No... it's bigger than that.


HongKongGoolagong - It's funny that you like The Chronic but avoided Snoop Doggy Dogg, as his first album is almost exactly the same as The Chronic.

FROM RAGS TO BITCHES!

I love those Thugnificent episodes.

Reading that short review reminded me that a lot of what I like in terms of "technique, style, voice projection/timbre" comes out of reggae/dancehall/dub/etc. Some of these dudes sound like they are perpetually ready to crap themselves... a whole genre of full of ODB.

Chuck that in with an edgy little mix and you might get- Razor X Productions, the short-lived Rootsman / The Bug project (with various vocalists ready to crap themselves).

Couldn't find personal faves, "Child Molester" (with Mexican ready to crap himself) and "Slew Dem" (with Wayne Lonesome ready to crap himself), but Razor X should appeal to those who like Death Grips at their more unhinged...

Classic:
Capleton - Final Assassin  (Street Cleaner Riddim, coupled with the lyrics, are an obvious influence on The Bug's "Skeng")

King Midas Sound
Sandwiched between Gnaw and Godflesh at Supersonic, KMS take advantage of the bowel-movement inducing sound system, builds nicely into near-racket proper:
