my current favorites are: hieroglyphics, del, blackalicious, jedi mind tricks, jurassic 5.

i really dislike most mainstream rap, but i love the under ground.

18,000 mp3s 90% junk lol.....

hey hughie.. ultimately you are right man i know it will never die.. unless of course there is a nucular war haha. also you are right, i sleep on a lot of shit and am regularly surprised.. im always finding new shit pretty much every day.. but i have to admit you guys have mentioned a few people that are new to me..

and so the search continues

as far as different styles go I dont know if they really count but I like some fugees stuff too..

Haha holy shit, a Voltron reference...next thing I know some one will respond to

"THUNDER"....(Insert rest)

Anyways, Liquid Sword is indeed the shit, fo shizzle. Good to see another Atmosphere fan, Trying to Find a Balance and One of a Kind are two damn good songs.

I forgot to mention them earlier, but Black Star is a damn good union. I really don't like Kanye West, but combined with Mos Def they really have something going on. If you haven't heard them yet check out the song Deffinition, it's wicked catchy.

irishslapop, some good choices there. Have you heard the new Blackalicious 'The Craft'? Gift of Gab still bringing the dope rhymes.

vortex G, LOL I know what you mean. Ive got 10k or so and alot of garbage too.

lorax, that nucular war scenario just might do it. Shits getting pretty hairy these days, but thats for another thread. The fugees are an example of something I have slept on. Same with digable planets for that matter. Both have crazy nice female MCs, something I used to think was an oxymoron.

laxpunker, my personal favorite from Blackstar would have to be K.O.S., love that track. Its funny you would mention Definition, one of my college professors (a chick actually) was all about hip hop and mos def inparticular. Definition was one of the tracks she played for us. Damn cool teacher right there, integrating hip hop into the lesson plan. I would probably marry her

Atmosphere is the shit, if you ever get a chance to see Slug with Mr. Dibbs, DO IT. Dibbs gets DOWN on the wheels of steel. I had a chance to see a show with Dibbs AND Abilities, and of course slug and eyedea. At some point in the Atmosphere set eyedea and abilities came out and Dibbs and Abilities freestyled on the tables while slug and eyedea ripped the mic. Best show I have ever been to. After the show slug, abilities and eyedea just kicked it outside BSin with whoever wanted to talk to them and signing autographs. Printmatic was at that show too, that guy is real down to earth.


This thread is taking off! I love hip hop

[Irishslappop]

i miss an atmosphere concert last month cause i couldn;t get out of work! arrrrg!!!i love him man.

i also forgot immortal technique, who is extremely talented, but has music that can get you down pretty fast.

[BabyHughie]

no doubt on immortal tech. That man has a wealth of knowledge though, 'The Poverty of Philosophy' is a perfect example. Nice beat, some depressing shit he's talking about.

That song will give you a whole new look on illegal immigration. I still don't advocate it, but when the US is a HUGE reason another country has it fucked up...some food for thought for sure.

immortal technique is the fuckin revolutionary! brilliant!

i like so much hip hop, im an audiophile. all the gangster shit is only good for one thing....bumpin!

i really really feel shit like......rob swift, living legends, old dilated peoples, busta rhymes, old jay-z, the motherfucker who straight holds the title...NAS...greatest rapper ever. ya i said it. greatest group ever.....the muthafuckin KAST (outkast)

anyone else feelin that stuff? hughie i know you're down

let's smoke one for good hip hop! ..............anyone ever seen the x-men? good show for sure!

haha x-men. the justice league is also pretty heady.

i didnt see anyone mention eyedea and ability, maybe i missed it... but worthy of mention

[glock23]

we need to throw a big ass hip-hop show in amsterdam where everyone can get high and meet people :] i know there's a lot of celebrities who'd be down...
