Hip Hop? i know its a rough question to ask on these boards, but any of you's dabble in a bit of the old Gee to the Etto? and whats ya top artist's (even Crews, Gangs, Clans, Posse or even rabble's) if ya do? Mine; Jedi Mind Tricks Dead Prez Tribe Called Quest X-Ecutioners (Before they got with linkin park and destroyed themselves) Sugerhill Gang Grandmasta Flash ..And just recently, mainly because i hadn't heard anything by them and adam.'s hidden ability to recite every one (or so it seemed) off there back catalogue.. NWA 1989 looked fun
Boogie Down Productions (BDP) EPMD Ice T Cypress Hill Kid Frost DJ Quick Biz Markie Big Daddy Kane Ultramagnetic MCs i could go on for hours with this genre - in the 80's i hated everything unless it was hip hop, showed off on corners and stole battery's from shops with no mirrors nwa and the gangster rap scene was the last of it for me though, it started getting too samey after the main hit of it - that was when i started to cross over on to rave/house music
early 90's stuff was my fav - Cyress Hill, funkdoobiest, NWA - mainly the commercial stuff for me - but it was still spot on!
i prefered ICE-T when he was in Body Count - used to love that metal/hip hop cross over stuff Here's a class album - the soundtrack from 'Judgement Night' - shite film but amazing score : http://www.discogs.com/release/612384 Check out the collaborations i've seen 6 of the metal bands but only 3 of the hip hoppers
2 Live Crew! how could i make a list and not add Miami's finest sex education class?! jay-z is >96, not the same game imo - i have a folder full of his hits im getting ready to make a full mixtape out of i went off ice t when he started the body count project - i guess ive never been a fan of axes or murderers Public Enemy had some great tracks back then, but they also had some shit that went right over my head. i was probably just too young to understand. they're fucked now, rapping on the same political front with the same story from 20 years ago doesn't wash with today's music fans good topic mista k

Body Count is quality. Still got that somewhere! Not sure what was better about it, the music or the lyrics!! Along with Ice-T I got albums from Run-DMC Take Dis (uk hip-hop) Busta Rhymes Wu-Tang Organized Confusion NWA Cypress Hill Eminem Public Enemy But I stopped buying hip-hop before I left school and I started spending all money on dance music instead.
