Wow. Oh God, I hope we're not the ONLY ones. LOL. One.

Yup... That's one of my favorite all time Abstract Rude & A Tribe Unique songs. My favorite all time being "Something About This Music" off of the Black Whole Styles Big Dada compilation that I'll be uploading on Tuesday. I'll be uploading a lot more joints in the coming months. One.

To end... I'm 31 years old and I'm from the 'hood and I've seen more death and destruction at the hand of drugs that I really don't feel like I need to have this discussion again. I know WHY people would sell drugs, I know people that did in the past and do it unti this very day. I said that I...

Wow. I just read the last 3 pages of this thread and it's a long discussion about nothing. Sascha Frere- Jones wrote yet ANOTHER article about the "coke rap" phenomenon...YAWN! I've been reading articles about "coke rap" since 1984...if someone else writes a fuckin' article about "coke rap" or...

Also... Just to add that James Brown also discovered, put on or produced more legendary and talented artist than you can imagine...Lyn Collins, Hank Ballard, Maceo Parker, Bootsy Collins, Marva Whitney, and list goes on..........One.

Wow. That means that you're 2 years older than me^. One.

Oh God! Not again. I wasn't trying to one up you or be an asshole...it was a legitimate question. It does matter WHEN you first came into contact with hip hop culture PURELY from a point of view standpoint (being that I am a hip hop FANATIC)...I was born in 1975 and I grew up in it. You...

Yeah, but.... Did you grow up IMMERSED in hip hop culture, though? Or was it another type of music that you heard coming up...everyone is different....it was implied in my meaning that I was referring to hip hop heads and not just "music listeners"...although, to be fair I honestly don't know...

Let us not forget! James Brown was without a doubt the greatest showman/performer ever and a great producer, musician and bandleader. He is credited it having the greatest single recorded performance in history at the T.A.M.I. Show. Interestingly enough, Prince used to keep it playing on a...

Without James Brown Without James Brown.... There would be no Funk, Hip Hop, R & B would suck and pretty much so would music in general. I write for a living and I couldn't properly describe how important HE was, his music was and his influence was to not only music but history/culture. If it...

Yes and no.... Does everyone have to be great lyrically? No. Does everyone have to be conscious? No. Do we need party rockers? In this age of hip hop/rap do they shine light on ANYONE lyrical or conscious, though? NO. Thus, there isn't any REAL diversity (besides Jay & Nas) as to who gets...

Not really That list WAS NOT a list of "covert" DJ Premier productions. Merely a list of his FAVORITE classic underground hip hop joints. Many of them were chosen by himself and Ego Trip for inclusion in some future compilations. Why would he list a bunch of tracks that HE produced as...

Oh! So any good/legendary bands pretty much just go over your head, huh? One.

Of course not! If you were born before 1986-1989 you'll agree with Monie Love, any time afterwards and the concept will fly right over your head...why? Because that generation never experienced what "hip hop" REALLY was intended to be culturally, musically or lyrically...it isn't a dude...

What If.... What If?...Hip Hop Edition AKA Just Thinkin’ Out Loud. A collection of open ended questions regarding hip hop and the direction it would have taken if different things had occured in an alternate hip hop reality from this one. The reader determines his or her own answers...

I STRONGLY disagree ANYONE who remembers was Hip Hop (the culture and music) was like before it went nation and then commercial is more than qualified to make the statement "Hip Hop Is Dead". This would include both Busta Rhymes and Nas (as well as myself since I was born in 1975 and REMEMBER...
