id love to know more records like that slackk. i really like that sound. that havoc and prodejee thing above sounds similar. makes me fantasise about big picnic/barbecues in l.a in the sun to celebrate someones recent release from prison.

Luka, rating Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince over A Tribe Called Quest is a rather Paul Morley-esque stroke.

Don't know. More importantly, whatever happened to the pop career of Ashley Banks? She didn't end up in a Snoop Doggy Dog porno movie or anything like that, did she?

I sympathise with the journey of discovery thing. I've got a mate who lives nearby who's been turning me on to some Southern classics. This is my current number one:
Edited to put in the dirty version.

@luka; "Brand New Funk" will be criminally ignored for all times.

God, rediscovering Southern stuff is always so weird. When this stuff was on BET, if at all, it'd be something I saw once and then vanished. Eventually people locked down BET and it just became the same 10 videos (probably because the other video channels stopped putting out videos period, so there was less point to even submit videos to those channels.)

West Coast stuff I generally skipped out on though, biggoted as that sounds. I didn't discover N.W.A. until it was through documentaries and stuff; my taste in West Coast rap was TOTALLY guided by textbooks.

if anything a new rap canon needs to be rewritten to weed out some of this dire shit.

im not sure i prefer good music to bad music. ive been thinking about it. partly its boredom with albums which are good but which im bored of from hearing them so much i know them off by heart but its partly that bad music has qualities missing in good music.

You need to expand on that to retain our interest.

someone said earlier that there's nothing interesting about something that's perfect, that applies to music as well

something that's flawed is usually more interesting, even if it's not "better"

yeah i did. thats one reason. theres others too. im genereally reluctant to write essays on dissensus oliver. why shouldnt i be allowed to maintain my mystique by issuing terse koans which you can then turn over in your mind for the rest of your life. cant you just do the thinking by yourself? you might think of reasons i havent thought of. as your spiritual advisor, a role ive held for almost ten years now i am forced to say no, do it yourself.
