"MF Doom" and "Immortal tecnique"- Pure underground F**k the rest

[Jdotsturn]

Yes underground is the illest. That Gangstarr-Fullclip album is the ish i dont know what i would do without that. But you cant forget about Sole he has some mad talent.

[Phlip]

It has come to my attention that I am now 26 and I must be old or something, but here is my report on why Gangstarr should matter to you. The driving force of Gangstarr's quality product is DJ Premier's production. In such, without Gangstarr, many of the things that you so-called hip hop "fans" hold near and dear would have never happened, and here is the list I compiled:


*Nas - Illmatic (1994) (3 tracks)
"N.Y. State of Mind"
"Memory Lane (Sittin' in da Park)"
"Represent"

The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die (1994) (1 track)
"Unbelievable"

Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt (1996) (3 tracks)
"D'evils"
"Friend or Foe"

Nas - It Was Written (1996) (2 tracks)
*couldn't find*

The Notorious B.I.G. - Life After Death (1997) (2 tracks)
"Kick In The Door"
"Ten Crack Commandments"

Nas - I Am... (1999) (2 tracks)
"N.Y. State of Mind, Pt. 2"
"Nas Is Like"

Limp Bizkit - Significant Other (1999)
"N 2 Gether Now"

Mos Def - Black on Both Sides (1999) (1 track)
"Mathematics"

Big L - The Big Picture (2000) (3 tracks)
"The Big Picture (Intro)"
"Platinum Plus" (feat. Big Daddy Kane)

Nas - Stillmatic (2001) (1 track)
"2nd Childhood"



... I can find more production credits, but that would require that I find songs on albums that you might not recognize,

[TiNMAN]

"MF Doom" and "Immortal tecnique"- Pure underground F**k the rest


you fanboy! :ghey:

[ramblux]

Haha, I just found my Swass album the other day. Good memories. Now if I could find Redhead Kingpin...

[Ricks15]

Damn right:mephfawk: the new crap that keep coming out with all these fake ghetto fabulous artists can never be at the level as some of undergrounds heaviest hitters.

[TiNMAN]

mf doom and immortal technique are ok in my book. immortal technique isnt that great in concert IMO.

[Ricks15]

Well you're from the bay area I remember hearing a mix tape of some crazy dj's spinning under ground. I think there from Oakland but up in the bay hip hop from over there is totally different its got a bad ass sound.

[midnight zenki]

Excellent timing Phlip, I was just bumpin' some Group Home and Gangstarr myself. Your absoulutly dead on in regards to his conribution, Premier/Gangstarr has an uncanny ability to make some of the best true hip-hop out there.

[monkey7]

"There was a few times when I needed your support,
but you tried to play like an indoor sport"


Personal favorite of mine!

[NemeGuero]

Hella yah mang. Guru is slick.

[Siberian Husky]

cant takl about old school without mentioning CL SMooth and the rest of teh Just Us League..gotta love the stuff they did with pete rock..

and yes..mf doom and immortal technique are good..but fanboyish..

One Be Lo (One Man Army from Binary Star) takes the cake for me when it comes to underground

and Atmosphere when im Emo hahah

[WERDdabuilder]

thizzle face?

[Arsenal of Glory]

Daily Operation is still by far Gangstarr's best album imho

[ManoNegra]

Gangstarr is dope, no doubt. Premier ia among the best producers ever.
Any one cracking The Coup's new joint? My favorite new album.
And on a side note, just finished reading Dan Leroy's Paul's Boutique - a behind the scenes chronicle of the making of one of my all time favorite Hip Hop albums. Highly recommended.

[ALTRNTV]

*Nas - Illmatic (1994) (3 tracks)
"Memory Lane (Sittin' in da Park)"

One of my all-time favorite songs. I absolutely love Nas.

"I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners
Henessey holders and old school ******, then I be dissin a
unofficial that smoke woolie thai
I dropped out of Kooley High, gassed up by a cokehead cutie pie
Jungle survivor, fuck who's the liver
My man put the battery in my back, a difference from Energizer
Sentence begins indented.. with formality
My duration's infinite, moneywise or physiology
Poetry, that's a part of me, retardedly bop
I drop the ancient manifested hip-hop, straight off the block...."

[EchoOfSilence]

Gangstarr will forever be ill.

MF doom's MMM Food album was my favorite. Immortal Technique is ill, as is Nas

But you cannot deny Wu-Tang. or Binary Star. or Giant Panda. or People under the stairs. or little brother. or ATCQ. or Digable Planets. or black star. or Pete Rock's shit. the list goes on and on....

but PLEASE SOMEONE give Percee P some fucking CREDIT.

And the whole Reasonable Doubt album is just pure classic IMO 22 2's...

I was a fanatic but still can recognize a bad album. The first round of solo albums and the first two group albums were all pretty good. After that though :nono: :cry: Kinda sucked to see'em fall off like that. That's ok though. RZA is still a master.

Good, then you realize that Method Man has only had one "great" album and only Ghost has put out what I personally feel to have been good product in the last little while. Funny thing is that he has done it completely, for the most part, separate of the rest of the group. I will not doubt that Rza is nice on the boards, but I do feel that there are at least 3 producers currently peddling their wares that can outdo him if one was to, say, lock them in a room and have them compete.
My opinion, of course.

What producers? I'm curious.

I think as far as mainstream music goes, RZA is somewhat beyond that..Even though he's mostly known for him production in Hip Hop, I think his freindship with Tarentino will help him grow his production in the movie industry were I feel his talents can be more utilized.

Oh I'm all about opinions.:bigok:

I'll be honest. I'm not familiar with with the first two. Maybe I'll go DL some of their stuff and take a listen.

[ONYX S-13]

I've always like Guru.. Even my pops likes him.. Jazzmatazz is still my favorite.. I haven't listened to it in a looonnngggg time though.

[s14xman]

i loved the WU-Tang old stuff, and the first string of solo albums. But now ..eh. Thats funny PHILLIP i was just pulling that album out yesterday!! wiered. More recently i find myself listening to Atmosphere's lucy ford album, i just found that one in my case a while ago and kept listening. Big Hiero fan as well.

[Phlip]

You are familiar with Scott Storch, you just didn't realize it. He started with The Roots and branched out on his own as aproducer, he co-produced a few songs with Dr Dre, Timbaland and a few others. His own tracks are fetching damn near a hundred grand each right now.

[SimpleSexy180]

9th wonder and j dilla beats = unstoppable.

[Phlip]

9th wonder and j dilla beats = unstoppable.
I would have mentioned Jay Dee, but he passed a couple months ago, but with no Jay Dilla, there is no 9th Wonder.
This chick I know introduced me to 9th a while back.

[SimpleSexy180]

yeah it sucks he passed so soon. I downloaded a torrent of 1.7gigs of beats and songs he has done, good shit.

damn that would be dope to meet 9th.

It was really quite random the way it happened.
My buddy was working on my car in Raleigh, I drove mom's Kia up there to deliver some parts and such, met Kristin for lunch while I was there, L.E.G.A.C.Y. happens to call her while we were at the chinese place...
"That was legs, at the mall with 9th and Pooh, wanna meet them?"

Damn son I got owneddddd

I agree with Philip, I am RZA's biggest fan, but there are other producers who are currently doing "better" work. RZA is just revolutionary in some sense cause he shaped and changed the game. People have tried to emulate the power of the Wu (i.e like Boyz in the Hood: FAIL) but its not possible anymore I don't think. Maybe Houston could stage something, but I doubt it.

Some producers like Timbaland, Pharrell, Dr. Dre, Alchemist, Kanye, etc are all making some hot tracks these days. Whether or not its mainstream or underground or whatever is besides the point, any music that makes you feel it is good music.

As far as Scott Storch goes, his name is being dropped in songs like no other. It's like DJ Clue revisited. Oh but I dunno about Storch's latest work he did for Ice Cube.. that song blows ass.

I've been feeling a lot of Cool & Dre's new stuff as well.

[NemeGuero]

Lil' Jon is getting annoying. Kanye's head is 20X too big for his skill.. and Dre always brings heat.

Timbaland will forever be a bad ass mutha fucka.

that is all.

See, someone here sees that the point here is not to be so blindly espoused to what one feels is "underground" or whatever the fuck they call it to needlessly hate anything that they see is "mainstream."

Kanye, love or hate him, is SERIOUSLY nice with his ASR and MPC, so much to the point that his ego would be well warranted if he would just shut the fuck up about it.


... that is all for now

[rainier]

no one listens to cormega or living legends?

Yes, Evel Kanyevel is dope as hell man (well, musically).

Who cares about his ego, that fool makes sick beats and definitely is helping the game move forward, both on the front lines and in the shadows. And damn man, if I did the stuff that Kanye did, I'd have some sick ass swagger too.

The Common album he's working on is gonna be bananas. And let's not forget his work with Keyshia Cole, John Legend, Lupe Fiasco, etc.

[NemeGuero]

Where have you heard hits from the new Common? Hook a brudda up!

Pharcyde
cunninglynguists

and
KRS-One! I have wwaaaayyyy tooo much of his music. And an autograph. ;)

Haven't heard any Common leaks but if the last Common album was any indication, its gonna be ill. Common has always been hot, just like Twista, UGK, Jamie Foxx (yes, musically), who has just recently got their shine. I'm actually glad the industry is finally giving them their time for all the years they've been putting it down.

KRS One has always been dope, but his older stuff was way too hip hop for me, like the BDP stuff. Oh, and "Step Into A World" was my most favorite...and probably his most mainstream joint as well.

The bridge is ova, the bridge is ova, buddadbaibaibai!

[NemeGuero]

LOL, so that's how you spell it! hahah

Damn, you got me excited with thoughts of new leaking Common.
Yah, BE was the shit. Ask Echo how hard I bumped that album.

haha

[alexchanman]

Phlip you forgot...

Gza Liquid Swords
Wu-Tang 36 Chambers and forever (fell off after that)
Method Man Tical
Ghost Face First Album

And the whole Reasonable Doubt album is just pure classic IMO 22 2's...

wu tang dropped some dope stuff back then but ghostfaces's new cd is kinda disappointing. liquid swords is among one of my favorite cd's.

you guys seemed to forget the Roots, Blackstar and a tribe called quest. i am a 17 year old chinese boy, i only had access to so much hip hop back then so i cant tell you about the stuff from the 80's.

im hearing crazy stuff about the roots new album, its suppose to have appearances from everyone.

MF doom is crazy and ill and stuff, i just got his Operation Doomsday cd. pure fire.

[ManoNegra]

So no one's heard The Coup's new joint yet then?
Dust Brothers, Dan The Automator, Danger Mouse (getting played out as I type this), Rick Rubin, DJ Krush...
And I agree, Ghostface's new album was a let down but again, I've never been A Wu fan.

[NemeGuero]

you guys seemed to forget the Roots, Blackstar and a tribe called quest.

Oh, never man. Blackstar is my favorite of all time. Roots are dope, but I never got into a tribe called quest.

I didn't like the mix of jazz into it. Not to say I don't like Jazz in hip hop.. but I didn't like how they did it. I mean, I didn't give them much opportunity after an early shut-down.. but i have yet to hear anything too exciting from them.

[jessfx]

pharcyde has been ill since forever. genius gza liquid swords has been one of my top albums for a long long time... and i'm only 20, haha. i love wu-tang. the rza's production has been on point, i think. ...well i just like the grimy beats. har har.


gang starr has forever been ill. primo is off the charts. primo does great production. as does pete rock. you can never go wrong with pete rock beats. i have to say though, when i saw guru at rock the bells last year i was like :hs: *sigh.

last emp. binary star. jean grae. emanon. edan. percee p. mf doom. afrika bam and the soul sonic force bwahahahaah. planet rock! fuckin' grandmaster flash and the furious five... white lines+the message! :cool:


mad love to j dilla forreal though. he put it down.
rip james ["jay dee"/"jdilla"] yancey.

[alexchanman]

1999 was the year to be listening to hip hop. all that stuff came out around there.

then there was the whole whiteboy rapping excluding vanilla ice. beastie boys are monstrous, and there are these whiteboys from boston, 7l and esoteric. try and find this song, 7L and Esoteric - speaking real words, if you cant find it, IM and i can send it you. its absolutely sick.

and oh yeah i forgot a few, outkast - ATLiens, Mobb Deep - the infamous before they sold out.

You should also try on 7L and Esoteric's song "Word Association," and another GREAT album to look for is WordsWorth's "Mirror Music," words is EXTREMELY nice on the mic, his punchlines and wordplay are amazing and -- get this -- not one curse word from him the whole album.

I believe that album was called TICAL 1994 release.
Although METH and RED made a sick ass album too called blackout, I actually own it on vinyl and MP3.

wu tang forever to me was the last banger that wu had...after that the solo projects came kinda soft

i liked tribe as well, but i dunno what it is but i can only listen to q-tips voice for a couple songs then i gotta turn it off

except for the scenario joint with busta....that was the jam

[nistech]

ok i m a big wu tang fan i was up in the cut at their last show first row with all the wutang members together *b4 odb died*. it was off the hook.
but anyways my question to phlip to everyone else is. who is the best "rapper" (style, lyrics, voice) in wu tang
i think it is reakwon but thats just my opionion his personal albums arent that good but man if u give him a good beat he is great.

[devonkyle77]

tash and raekwon - raplife is a hot song nistech...
personally, out of the wu, my fave would be genius gza

[Gnnr]

Outkast for sure.. but the older gangster shit. Wheelz of steel type tracks.

neme nice taste of underground. Zion I is one of my favs

[Phlip]

ok i m a big wu tang fan i was up in the cut at their last show first row with all the wutang members together *b4 odb died*. it was off the hook.
but anyways my question to phlip to everyone else is. who is the best "rapper" (style, lyrics, voice) in wu tang
i think it is reakwon but thats just my opionion his personal albums arent that good but man if u give him a good beat he is great.
Using "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" as my precedent, I agree that Raekwon is the best, in theory of course.
Download a song called "Spraypaint & Inkpens," and listen to some of the shit he has done featured on other peoples' shit, however, and one will give that nod to Ghost for the shit he has done since.

raekwon is a beast but not the best lyricicist of the group. i have to say inspectah deck is the best "rapper" in th whole group but as for success after the break, ghostface hands down. supreme clientele was one the bette cds of the solo works as was iron man.

[battle max]

No love for Murs in here? Next to the aceyalone/RJD2 album he put out the best album of the year so far. Dont sleep on Murs/9th wonder collabs.

[reefer1114]

atmosphere, living legends, mos def, talib kweli, hieroglyphics, del is the motherfucking man!!! jmt, i could go on forever but im drinking so yea...rock the bells is going to be so sick this year. fuck yea!!!

[SimpleSexy180]

murs is dope. his album(s) are great listens. Aceyalone is the first underground artist i heard that got me hooked on hip hop.

[jessfx]

Try as you might, you cannot pick anything on that page that I cannot explain my reasoning for having on my computer... I happened to have been raised on funk music by way of my pops and my uncle.

i love old funk, soul, break beats, jazz and blues, almost anything and everything that's been sampled.

oh my. music :love:

def jux, insight, asheru, mos def, talib kweli, definitely the tribe, and oh fo sho de la soul. yummy. haha.

Ahhhh this album brought back memories of the good old days in the fourth grade:

Also noone has mentioned The Reavers, that track "shadows" is nice.

[S14Josh]

I don't really like MF Doom. Skillz ain't that great.

And the Coup has a new album?


Nah, their newest album is still "Pick a bigger weapon" released in early 06

I think they will have another one coming out soon though.



And as far as Gangstarr goes....Pure, classics. I've been listening to Mass appeal since the day i got it. I almost bought the 10 decades album, but i also snatched up jazzmatazz vol. 3 so i didnt want to spend too much.

Also, has anyone heard the new mos def? Suposedly its out but i havent heard anything about it.

[bamaboy]

Keep in mind that this IS my opinion and you are more than welcome to disagree, but I include what I feel to be my reasons.
- Scott Storch - this man's work is not of this planet
- 9th Wonder - peep any of the Little Brother albums
- Premier - see my previous post for his resume
I agree with this.....I think there could be 2 more producers added to that list if they could get their heads out of their own asses and realize that being famous for being famous only makes you Paris Hilton.

1. Timbaland- When he was just producing for Missy, Aaliyah, and him and Magoo, he was raw. I think he has gotten too far into trying to be in the spotlight. He was cooler when he was fat. Timberland had that style that made you feel like something evil or not of this world was going on in the songs. Now I just see chicks shaking the ass and him trying to bone Nelly Furtado.

2. Pharell- When he was at his best was before he was making music only because he made money doing it. He is very dynamic when it comes to the different classifications of music that he can do successfully. Some of his production is still beyond me but I like it anyway because it'se more creative than what we here on the radio everyday.

Don't foget the the international asshole, Kanye. He might not appeal to everyone, and isn't the greatest MC, but he's genuis as an MS and a producer combo.

Oh snap! Word!
early OZO and Cut Chemist new joint are dope.
Dan the Automator produced Dr Octagon (Kool Keith). I love most of his stuff - Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady To, Bombay the Hardway, Gorillaz and Handsome Boy Modeling School w/ Prince Paul.
I'd add DJ Krush, Filla Brazilia, Thievery Corporation, Massive Attack, Tricky, Herbalizer, Propellerheads, Medeski Martin and Wood, Blackalicious, Z-Trip... to the list.

[ManoNegra]

Hmmm.. Deltron is Kool Keith. He switches alter egos as often as normal people change underwear. He did the Black Elvis joint aswell. 'Project Polaroid' and 'Nogatco Rd' (Dr Octagon backwards) are his latest works. IIRC I read somewhere that he is related to Del.

[bamaboy]

This is my favorite Outkast song ever.....Aquemini

Big Boi, Daddi Phat Sax, Billi Ocean, Francis the Savannah Chitlin Pimp
Now is the time to get on like Spike Lee said get on the bus
go get your workand keep your beeper chirpin' is a must
Is you on that dust or cornstarch familiar with that smack man
The music is like that green stuff provided to you by sack man
Pac man how in the fuck do you think we gon' do that man?
Ridin' round Old National on 18's without no gat man
I'm strapped man & ready to bust on any nigga like that man
Me & my nigga we roll together like Batman & Robin
we prayed together through hard times
and swung hard when it was fitting
But now we tappin' the brakes from all them corners that we be bending
in Volkswagens & Bonnevilles Chevrolets and Coupe De Villes
If you ain't got no rims nigga don't get no wood grain steering wheel
for real you can go on chill out & still build
let your paper stack instead of going into overkill
pay ya fuckin beeper bill bitch



Andre 3000, Andre Benjamin, Loucis Leftfoot
Twice upon a time there was a boy who died twice
and lived happily ever after but that's another chapter live
from home of the brave with dirty dollars
& beauty parlors
& baby bottles
& bowling ball Impalas
& street scholars
that's majoring in culinary arts
You know how to work bread cheese & dough
from scratch
but see the catch is you can get caught
Know what ya sellin' what ya bought
so cut that big talk
Let's walk, to the bridge now meet me halfway
now you may see some children dead off in the pathway
it's them poor babies walkin' slowly to the candy lady
It's lookin' bad need some hope
like the words maybe, if, or probably more than a hobby
when my turntables get wobbly they don't fall
I'm sorry y'all
I often drift
I'm talkin' gift
so when it comes you never look the horse inside it's grill
of course you know I feel like the bearer of bad news
Don't want to be it but it's needed so what have you
Now question is every nigga with dreads for the cause?
Is every nigga with golds for the fall? Naw
So don't get caught in appearance
it's Outkast Aquemini another Black experience Okay


Big Boi, Daddi Phat Sax, Billi Ocean, Francis the Savannah Chitlin Pimp
The name is Big Boi Daddy Fat Sax
the nigga that like them Cadillacs
I stay down with these streets
'cause these streets is where my folks at
Better know that some say we pro-black boy we professional
we missed a lot of church so the music is our confessional
Get off the testicles & the nut sacks
you bust a rhyme we bust back
Get get back for real niggas that's out here tryin' to spit facts
You hear dat can't come near dat maybe you need to quit
because Aquemini is Aquarius & Gemini runnin' shit like this
Yea yea yea yea

Andre 3000, Andre Benjamin, Loucis Leftfoot
My mind warps and bends floats the wind count to ten
meet the twin Andre Ben. welcome to the lion's den
original skin many men comprehend
I extend myself so you go out & tell a friend
Sin all depends on what you believing in
Faith is what you make it that's the hardest shit since MC Ren
Alien can blend right on in wit' yo' kin
look again 'cause I swear I spot one every now & then
It's happenin' again wish I could tell you when
Andre this is Andre y'all just gon' have to make amends

that must be how i got it.

I thing the game blows too, his new stuff seems to be name drop after name drop. Nas's cd has a little bit of that, but god damn that cd is good. I thought jay-z's cd was overrated. and scott storchs beats are nice and all, but damn everytime i see him i cant help but crack up!
I mean seriously, hes good and all but I cant help it:keke:

how did I miss the thread? My first single tape in 93 was just to get a rep. +1 Phlip gangstars beats and rhymes were always razor sharp, not all that cars,clothes ,and hoes BS. I miss all the underground stuff that they played on the radio tale at night in philly, and Princeton universities WPRBl ate night radio broadcast of underground uncut jams.:(

Content from a '95 mixtape I found that i recorded off the radio:
Coomon: I used to love her
Nas: It aint hard to tell
Gangstarr: Just to get a rep
" " " : Mass apeal
Wu Tang: CREAM
Channel Live: Mad IZM
KRS one: the MC

That's wrong. Kool Keith=Dr. Octagon=Dr. Doom, and he got his start as part of the Ultramagnetic MCs, whereas Deltron 3030 had Del Tha Funky Homosapien as an MC and Automator on the beats. Del is Ice Cube's cousin, and has done solo albums as well. They've both worked with Automator, but they're definitely not the same person. Del and Kool Keith sound nothing alike.

damn....it just dawned on me that I have forgot another one of Atlanta's finest groups ever to throw into this discussion....Goodie Mob. This group cultivated the ever popular Ceelo Green, one half of Gnarls Barkley, into the expressive psycadelic rock rapper that he is today. There get pretty deep into their rhymes and they have an old school non-crunk Atlanta type sound. I recommend the first album Soul Food.

[Gnnr]

Big Boi, Daddi Phat Sax, Billi Ocean, Francis the Savannah Chitlin Pimp
The name is Big Boi Daddy Fat Sax
the nigga that like them Cadillacs
I stay down with these streets
'cause these streets is where my folks at
Better know that some say we pro-black boy we professional
we missed a lot of church so the music is our confessional
Get off the testicles & the nut sacks
you bust a rhyme we bust back
Get get back for real niggas that's out here tryin' to spit facts
You hear dat can't come near dat maybe you need to quit
because Aquemini is Aquarius & Gemini runnin' shit like this
Yea yea yea yea

Man, I love that song too thats my favorite part right there. You think the song is over and then its like, NO BITCH "The name is- Big Boi! Daddy FAT SACKS! The nigga that ride them CaddilLACS!..." :D

Jin - The Emcee

That album gives you 14 solid tracks. Didn't have to hit fast forward once. Lyrics and beats, its all there. Please go listen to this if you haven't, I don't think you'll be disappointed, real hip hop.

I am not a fan of Jin.

He had his 15 minutes when on Power 106 Freestyle Friday, but after that I was like meh

He's a freestyle rapper, if that.

[BC240]

The new E-40 Album is awesome.. but there is no need for the white girl song lol.. wtf

[Landers]

Swollen Members anyone??? Brother Ali??? just a few

Well, the only opinion I had of him was from the weak single I heard (learn Chinese) from his first album. But a friend lent me his second album release (2005), no corny singles here. Just straight up rap. Hasn't left my car's CD deck all week. I'm impressed.

WHITE GIRL

I'm glad 40 water finally gets his shine now.

Man, I love that song too thats my favorite part right there. You think the song is over and then its like, NO BITCH "The name is- Big Boi! Daddy FAT SACKS! The nigga that ride them CaddilLACS!..." :D

Outkast was sick before the days of Stankonia, ATaliens and Aqumini was are 2 of my favorite albums, I never heard southerncadilacplayalistic or whatever that album was called though.

I might have to check that out, im not a fan of his singles (thought they where corny trying to cash on the fact of being an asian rapper) but I know he does have some lyrical flows.


Lemme know if you guys like this track, I loaded it on my server. some really old 2pac you guys prolly never heard. I love the flows and beat in the song. This is really old since he doesnt call himself 2pac. Theres another rapper on it too but I cant put a finger on who it is. SOunds like before the Digital Underground/2pacalypse days
