little bit of hip hop n rap - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

AppleSauceMcGee · 11-29-2004, 08:36 PM

hey im looking for some good hip hop/ rap artists. Following along the lines of people such as
Swollen Members
Sweatshop Union
The Arsonists
Zion I
Binary Star

if you have some music like that post name becuase im looking for more

BTW SweatShop Union- "The Thing About IT" Is extremly fucking good, the lyrics say it all

FoolThemAll · 11-29-2004, 09:57 PM

Aesop Rock? That's the default response of this music lover with one rap CD out of 250.

Atmosphere? RJD2?

I have an Arsonists song on a comp I own...I think I remember enjoying it.

alansmithee · 11-29-2004, 10:29 PM

Cage-Movies for the Blind
Leak Bros-Waterworld
Murs-any, but 3:16 the 9th edition is his most recent (and maybe accessible)
Illogic-Celestial Clockwork, also his earlier albums are really good
Victor Vaughn-Vaudeville Villian
Madvillian-Madvilliany
Louis Logic-Sin-o-Matic
Copywrite-The High Exaulted

That's just a few i'm looking at now. Pretty I recommend anything off the DefJux or Eastern Confrence labels. Rhymesayers is also a good label, these all have more underground artists. Honestly, I could fill a whole page with good hip-hop albums, but most of the one's I listed are fairly recent and might even be found in mass-market stores.

K-Wise · 11-30-2004, 02:37 AM

If you like Binary Star you'll like Athletic Mic League

Clokworx
K-Otix
Subconcious
Planet Asia
Mars Ill
Blackalicious
Brand Nubian
Styles Of Beyond
Living Legends
J-Live
Jedi Mind Tricks
Heiroglyphics

I know more I just can't think right now. I'll have more by tommorow.

Asta!!

Locobot · 11-30-2004, 12:34 PM

I've been recommending brit Dizze Rascal to all my friends who like rap, he has a really unique sound. The Streets from Britain also deserve mention, especially if you like to pay attention to all the lyrics.

K-Wise · 11-30-2004, 05:59 PM

Dilated Peoples
Dead Prez (if you're offended by the word cracka though..)

Asta!!

trickyy · 12-01-2004, 12:28 AM

i second the defjux endorsement
aceyalone is sort of cool
vic vaughn is also known as mf doom

and who could forget dj shadow
two others that are more instrumental: diplo and homelife (on ninjatune)

keyshawn · 12-01-2004, 02:25 PM

[ill be trying out some of these rec's too]

some more:
k-os
j-live
rascalz
Big L
Common [surprised he or big l hasnt been mentioned yet]

btw, i just got into jedi mind tricks a couple days ago, seems to be very good stuff.

saukrates · 12-01-2004, 04:50 PM

KRS-One <-- quite possibly the most underated MC ever
RA The Rugged Man
Cunninlynguists
Apathy
CelphTitled
Blueprint
Mr. Lif <-- the album 'I Phantom' is a must
Mos Def <-- 'The New Danger' is dope, but 'Black on both sides' is classic mos def
Immortal Technique
Talib Kweli
Tame-One
Weathermen
Blackalicious
Dialated Peoples
lmno
eyedea & ablities
DJ Format
Kyprios (he's from Sweatshop, but has a solo album out)
Tha Liks (aka Tha Alkaholiks if your looking for older stuff)
Buck 65 <-- also Canadian, like Swollen Members
Moka Only <-- on a lot of Swollen tracks, but has solo albums too.

Like previous posters said, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Check out ifilm.com for music videos from these artists that you might not catch on tv.

And, if you happend to be around Calgary, Alberta (Canada) check out The Beatdown latenight on CJSW 90.9FM

K-Wise · 12-02-2004, 12:21 AM

I thought about listing Common since he's my fave emcee and all but I figured he was popular enough already. Forgot about K-Os..his shit isn't all hip-hop though his album has R&B/Singer Songwriter stuff as well. My boy also told me he has some rock songs but I'm not sure if I trust his definition of the word rock. I love K-Os his video's are the best too cause I'm still madd into B-boy'n. Well since well knowns aren't out of the picture and since no one has listed him yet

Pharoahe Monch...and his old group Organised Konfusion. I also like Canibus but I know a lot of guys don't. I don't know why though.

Asta!!

12-02-2004, 06:32 AM

Hey apple, if you're a fan of binary star you should check out OneManArmy's solo stuff. www.subterraneousrecords.com

K-Wise · 12-02-2004, 05:06 PM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's Dizzee.

I cant BELIEVE that no one has recomended Sage Francis yet!

If you are into underground hip hop, check out the following

Cage (Movies for the Blind is awesome)
Buck 65
RA The Rugged Man
Sage Francis (Personal Journals is the best record, if you dont get anything, you MUST dl "Crack Pipes" - its such an incredible track - and, no it isnt about drugs)
Canibus (not quite underground, but an awesome lyricist)
Jedi Mind Tricks
Warcloud (used to go by the name of Holocaust)
Apathy
7L & Esoteric
Killarmy
Necro & Ill Bill
Dizzee Rascal (but I wouldnt bother with any of the rest of Roll Deep Crew)
Agallah

mikey4fingaz · 12-04-2004, 02:06 PM

have you ever listened to Lyrics Born... great. Also the cunninglynguist are awesome.

Ganguro · 12-06-2004, 05:08 AM

MF DOOM!
Dj Shadow
Kanye West "College Graduation" Bootleg
Prefuse 73
Paul Barman
anything by Del tha Funky Homosapien (Deltron 3030, Hieroglyphics, Gorillaz)

HeadyIncognito · 12-07-2004, 11:44 PM

I don't know anything about hiphop in general, but I like The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy.

alarment13 · 12-08-2004, 10:01 AM

old school
Raekwon - only built for cuban linx

still is my fav hip hop album

K-Wise · 12-08-2004, 12:03 PM

^ Ice Cream

Asta!!

begforme2 · 12-08-2004, 07:20 PM

Soul Position is awesome
Mos Defs Black on Both sides is also good

Suave · 12-08-2004, 09:47 PM

K-OS
Nas
Omni
Infinite
Warren G (his old stuff anyways, even if the lyrical part isn't spectacular, you GOTTA love his beats)
Kyprios

As to my opinion on the Streets: I enjoy listening to him because he's unintentionally hilarious (seems like he'd have a sense of humour about it though). British rap gives me a good larf.
