lemond d(and dillinja) and j majik(and adam f) both are huge for me. i voted for the bristol cru(tho i would've listed it as v recordings). that label and its offshoots had such a great sound, and the artists that grew out of it are some of the biggest - v really had all the big names under it...

- sage francis is new england mid-west i don't dig on as much but it started to get more notice back when nelly first came out and has gotten bigger since. they got their whole thing goin, they play with their accents a lot... 'err'body in the club get tipsy' and the rest. can't rec too many...

that album, 'quality', great. that was the best that late 90s hip hop had to offer. paving the way for newer stuff like immortal technique, some of the best of the 00s. there's been some mad strange replies in this thread too; take everything you read in here with a grain of salt. people are...

i'd say there's a very big difference between the jazz-ish tracks of the mid 90s and the stuff towards the later 90's that was being dubbed 'intelligent' jungle by the likes of bukem and the rest. the earlier jazz stuff influenced the jazz-step of the later 90s in that the earlier and later...

yeah, i think i remember one of the mixtapes having that title, it was funny - they bein a french-speakin group as far as euro languages there was always that translation barrier. one of my friends stateside has a copy of that mix that i'm trying to get a hold of to rip to mp3; i would love to...

thanks for the link to naijajams, that's a great site. does anyone have any other links for african related music blogs? when i was living in morocco my friends had several mix tapes that magic system had put together; i loved their sound, though not reggae at all. their mix tapes had an...

haha. jesus man. tell me a tale of existence without culture then. i'm serious.

as far as ephemeral being a short-lived thing, and in using it along with subjective to describe our lives, yes i do think it's very different from the ephemeral nature of our own existence more than in WW1 or the year after, when millions died in the Spanish Flu. i don't think comparing how...

What I think we *can* say is that, quite generally, we're entering a period in which we're being confronted with the subjective and ephemeral nature of our own existence more than ever before. That's uncomfortable for some people, and the battle lines are very definitely being drawn all around...

I had the Sony 700s, (the silver ones that every drumnbass dj on the East Coast had for a while there) but they have broken in an annoying way - sound is fine, but the earpiece cracked so it doesn't stay on my head. Apparently many folks have had this problem. yeah that's exactly what happened...

that'll take the edge off at work haha great vid

i also frequently end up getting drunk and leaving them behind where i'm playing yeah, word. haha.

seems a bunch of you fellas are dj's so i figured i'd ask here; my ol' trusties(vr700s) got busted up during my move last month and are all bent out of shape. i've been tryin to put it off, but it's time i invested in some serious headphones again. so what are the top of the line/almost top...

was just listening to roll deep's 'people don't know', it's actually got a general political slant; it's not exactly putting forth a solution like people were mentioning earlier in the thread, but drawing attention to the difficulties of the lower classes. the whole roll deep album is amazing...

<< mostly the overt politics of grime is a sort of self-help/pull yourself up by your own bootstraps/it's your own fault if you don't make it cos you ain't got the get-up-and-go -- Thatcherism meets American hip hop cult of initiative/ambition... anti-politics in other words nicely put

with the comment of pure grime bein too weird for the states, that's true i think. but some of the albums i've been listenin to recently, roll deep, kano, raw t, those sounds seem to have moved more towards us hip hop than earlier grime stuff from a couple years back. bein a jungle head, i...
