Nope! The last "Golden Era" of hip hop music was 1996....towards the end of 1996 the record labels, being pissed that all of this "classic material" wasn't selling started to look for more commercial acts to make their money back, by 1997 the "jiggy/shiny suit/No Limit" era began and in 1998...

What? What EXACTLY do you mean by "diggin tha cratez 4 eva"? I love Grime as well (when did this "Grime drought" happen?), but what are you talking about...please explain/expound on this...I mean, if you CAN. One.

Not really.... He just wanted to rep the Bay...this isn't representative of the work he normally does...nor does it mean he's switching to doing "proper hip hop" from here on. Dj Shadow is a beatmaker.....period. One.

Damn..... Those are some far reaching and serious problems in regards to labels/management/distribution. If it wasn't for the blogs, MySpace, YouTube, Limewire and the Yousendit/Sendspace/Megaupload sites I wouldn't even get to hear the music myself...For that matter, why is it easier to get...

Ok What EXACTLY the fuck is the problem with distribution grimewise...or is it a problem for all UK based genres of music? I've heard some label woes across the water that put ours to shame. One.

Yeah, but... That's just because you're in the UK, right? Vital and Pinnacle are both distributors based in the UK. One.

Ewwww.... Pitchfork is the worst excuse for a magazine that tries hard to be edgy by OCASSIONALLY reviewing Hip Hop/Urban music and making themselves look like ignorant jackoffs with what they write about what they reviewed....as far as that Lady Sov song goes, it's pureed shit on dry toast...

Interesting... Lif and Murs are two of my favorite emcees...Beans (of Anti Pop Consortium), however, makes me want to drink rubbing alcohol with six razor blades from a paper cup as a chaser. One.

Hydra! Back in the early days of indie NYC hip hop label Hydra Records, two of the biggest acts on the label were Godfather Don and Screwball (Hostyle and Blaq Poet were both members). They were produced mainly by Godfather Don and the Ghetto Pros (V.I.C. & Mike Heron) but later formed a...

Godfather Don His "Hazardous" LP was classic but hard to find. His "Diabolique" LP was classic and is hard to find now. His production is GREAT. His essential joints are his turn and production on Ultramagnetic MC's "Raise It Up", Scaramanga's "Special Efx" from his "7 Eyes, 7 Horns" LP. His...

But.... I'd agree...if he ACTUALLY wrote his own rhymes! Ice Cube and MC Ren usually penned his verses (D.O.C. would try, but Eazy E couldn't spit 'em right). That doesn't change the fact that Eazy E's "Eazy Duz It" LP is one of the best hip hop albums ever made...I let my tape rock until my...

Oh yes Rammelzee...one of my idols. Thanks for the shout, man. One.

Actually... The two Golden Eras were 1986-1988 and 1992-1996. 1991 and 1997 are both considered key years in setting up widespread changes in the climate and scene of the music overall. 1991 was a year in which the floodgates opened and intentiveness, creativity and variety reigned and several...

No problem. This is why I keep coming back here. I LEARN way more than I have the opportunity to prove I'm not JUST some bastard who thinks that East Coast hip hop is better than everything except for the discoveries of fire, electricity, iron, stone and bronze. LOL. One.
