random old rap you are loving

god i love this song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX481mDqXTo

p good!
never even heard of it before

he's like X-Clan's little brother or something

I guess he's from Cincinnati! which is weird how few rappers have ever been from there, Hi-Tek the producer for Talib is the only person of note I can think of

huh, interesting! all wiki turned up was the MC Breed connection

Hi_Tek had a group in Cincinnati called Mood who released a decent LP in '97. RJD2's crew, MHZ, spawned Camu Tao and Copywrite. Though that's Columbus.

Justin Warfield - K Sera Sera. Underrated '93 jam produced by Prince Paul.

sweet 2 picks, hadnt either of these from the revive

I remember really loving that Justin Warfield album at the time and being totally baffled that it was slept on since, after all, Prince Paul produced it (lol)

MOOD - DOOM has a few classic tracks. Can't say I've listened to the whole thing recently.

i think it is just alright, with a few standouts

Killarmy - Wu-Renegades

listened to the whole album yesterday

The Nonce - Mixtapes

rip Yusef

It's been YEARS since I heard that, thank you.

an all time hook

I remember really loving that Justin Warfield album at the time and being totally baffled that it was slept on since, after all, Prince Paul produced it (lol)

the only really good album that Justin has ever released if you ask me.
many years ago he told me he was going to go back to hip hop as he had done some mixtapes with leftovers from the One Inch Punch era, but as expected, nothing came of it.
yesterday I found a cd copy of the young black teenagers album (s/t) with bombsquad production.
not heard this before, but damn, its hitting the spot.

Rubberoom - Acid

wow have not heard the Nonce since soph yr college

this was def one of the weirdest Prince Paul things ever...I wonder who Duke Crapmore, Flybot Van Dam and Guy Albino were

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6Vb8gC2ydk

this is so fucking ridic and stupid i can't believe this god made

"me so hard/I gotta AK-48"

I don't think Prince Paul had anything to do with them

really? that was a rumor but who knows

just feeling these hitler wears hermes mixtapes. some old enough some not that old.

this is bonkers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILbzU2ii2Iw

that bass

The whole "Buckwild: Diggin in the Crates" comp is *chef's kiss*. Not an innovative producer (unless he was the one other NYC guys bit??) but so damn consistent. Every track has lil flourishes to keep your attention.

i havent heard this comp. going to check it out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfi0RHFi1-c

"Call you 'hon' before I bag it, after that it's..."

Crazy that this track lives only on pricey oop 12".

quik 90s production was really untouchable

Myka 9 - delusions of grandeur
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7KuKiBVhbw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ugpH6TNIfU

such a sick flow on this! haven't heard it in a long time

omg just listened to that for 1st time in year last night

this I heard last night for 1st time ever:
Red Fox & Brand Nubian - Hey! Mr Rude Bwoy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuKLwn0gnP4

Sadat killed it.

re: Myka 9, I keep coming across MCs I assumed stop making music after ~2000 who have like 8 full albums released in 21st century

yeah dude hasnt stopped. and his stuff is scattered cos his name seems to always be spelled different ie Mikah 9, Mikah Nine, Myka 9, Myka Nine, etc. plus he's done collab albums with random producers and groups (magic heart genies?). His debut 'its all love' is personal classic for me even tho it's like half good.

did you watch that Good Life doc from a few years back? think it was on Netflix

yeah! its really good

This is the Life is the name of it

re: Brand Nubian - Grand Puba's '2000' album is awesome

“I Like It” is a classic cut

On the FF tip as well

Shaft Gangsta Clic - Sixteen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTXUWnrJO9A

i just tried spotify for the first time. i never heard the e money bags rip album before (spotify gives the title as: in e moneybags we trust) but, knew of him (e money bags got moet chandon / bundle of sixty two / they ain't got a clue what we about to do) and had heard ''thugs calm down.'' every track on it is solid. also ''i want it'' has two nas verses i've never heard before which is rare since everything gets recycled all over the place. love the kool g rap / nature track. and a track with showboys (the trigger rap showboys i assume) which isn't on youtube: https://open.spotify.com/track/3TP0bIJhdCTS6xKyNhR9cU

People Under the Stairs was an act I was unaware of but Spotify recommended it a couple of weeks ago and I’m loving it.

Willie D - Die

on alchemist's 2004 1st infantry, on "boost the crime rate," the sample at 4:49 ("it goes back to medieval legend") i swear is jordan peterson.

Thes from People Under the Stairs is one of my fav old school sample-based producers. The battle of him vs will.i.am is classssssic, it's on youtube.

i put this banger on tape for a friend the other day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhB3eIDXjT0

also my friend who passed earlier this year was really deep into Memphis rap and one of his tapes brought Tommy Wright III to my attention, this track in particular is insane and i listen to it all the time.
