i remember seeing puffy (who i can't say that i hate; i still dig "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down") and jimmy page doing that kashmir thing on SNL(?) and thinking that was pretty terrible

best 00s Pac single poll?

I saw the video for that Nelly duet with the Kelly Rowland and my god it made me want to stab a hobo puppy.

no way, this has some of the sickest drumming ever. just looked for it on youtube but it gotten taken down ;_;

haha yeah i totally remember that drummer being a beast

I can't forget it
Why you did it
I won't permit it
And won't acquit it
I want to fight you
I'll fucking bite you
Can't stand nobody like you
You can't run
You can't hide
No surprise
Close your eyes
Come with me, yeah

this thread is crazy

speaking of crazy...i really loved it when gnarls barkley really took hip hop to a new, more intelligent level....great album

and no one thought to mention Ca$h Money or No Limit records? I mean "'bout it, 'bout it", "bling, bling"....some of the most cringe worthy stuff on commercial radio in the past ten years. Each label had it's exceptions, but mostly the songs they put out were vomitrocious.

it's always great when rap music incorporates other influences so that they manage to transcend the genre.

Geir?

That you, buddy?

nabisco i saw you interviewing robyn on pitchfork tv, and what struck me was that for the last 2 minutes she basically turned into geir hongro...did you notice this too or am i too quick to leap on scandinavians blathering about melody

I used to love "Pushin Weight" by Ice Cube when it came out!! that song and video was hilarious,

also, this is weird:

It's Top Genre worldwide, sure

british dude? or what...

i've never liked hip-hop

four-ish words:

N. 2. GETHER. NOW.

The real answer is, and always be, despite the highlights, mid-1985.

It was the era where the industry gave up on it being more than a "fad" after the breakdancing movies either failed to r.o.i., or failed to get made altogether (Cry of the City), but right before Russell Simmons signed his CBS M&D deal and made Krush Groove...therefore, a host of novelty records filled the gap acting as johnny come latelies.

Or, you're old like me, and haven't cared for hip-hop since the mid-to-late 90s.

Whichever.

Haha, this thread is amazing... In 2001 the lowest points of hip-hop included 2Pac, Biggie, Jay-Z, "Crossroads", and gangsta rap. Has the ILM consensus really changed that much in 7 years, or have most of the 2001 posters simply left the board?

Oh yeah, and Digital Underground too. I can see some validity of criticizing 2Pac, Biggie or Jay-Z, but how can anyone think DU suck?

You have to remember it was Dave Q who said that.
