let's take a moment and be gay(er)

very nice

Mixing that into Zulu's Ice Cube track'd work well. 

What's the big idea?

So I've actually had youtube auto-embed taken away? What the fuck did I do? 

when i tried to copy pasta your links it did not work, i copy pasta'd into chrome, then copy pasta'd back into WCOM

It wasn't working when shoshone tried in another thread too.  Dunno what the deal is.



Best part of this is when the trumpets come in at 5:15, when it gets to that part my face goes...


Can anyone recommend any other good instrumental hip-hop albums?  I always hear J Dilla - Donuts is good, but all of tracks on it are so short that it makes me skeptical of how much I'd like it.

wu tang did some instrumentals

Have you looked into the Trip-Hop genre much?  It shares a lot with hip-hop, but generally has no or much less emphasized vocals.

Madlib's Shades of Blue is a hip-hop/jazz hybrid album with longer tracks:


Donuts is good but I'm not a huge fan overall. It definitely has some killer tracks:



My absolute favourite is Prefuse 73. From his first:


His second:


Surrounded by Silence is also worth checking out, but it's not as consistent as Vocal Studies or One Word Extinguisher. Here's a good one:


His other stuff is negligible. But seriously, listening to One Word all the way through is musical bliss.

I'M SO MAD. After my links don't work my font turns into Times New Roman for while I'm writing my next post (like right now) but then it doesn't appear that way once it's posted. 

RJD2 is a pretty inconsistent producer IMO, but he's got some major gems:

I'll check out your list of trip-hop when I get home Greglar, though my understanding of the genre is that the vocals would be a big part of it since the quintessential trip-hop groups are Portishead and Massive Attack. But I don't recognize anyone on your list so I probably don't know anything. 

He's so active that it's hard to be consistent, I love producers like him (and Madlib) that put out hordes of music.  I love the classic RJD2 sound, it's usually very obvious that it's RJD2, first got turned onto him when I listened to Soul Position (MC Blueprint+RJD2), ever since then i've been somewhat of a fanboy

Shit, I'll start listening to these.  My appreciation for hip-hop weighs heavily on the production side so these all seem up that alley.  I've meant to delve more into the trip-hop genre, I have Portishead's Dummy and really enjoy that LP a lot. 

I haven't listened to a lot of Portishead or Massive Attack lately...which is disappointing, I think Portishead is fantastic, "Roads" by Portishead about tears my soul apart every time I listen to it

DJ P is one of the best. jazzy jeff is amazing too believe it or not.

i don't remember that guru song btw. thanks for the memory.

it's a dope cut, Jazzy Jeff was very good, it took me a while to believe it myself.

i hate Kanye. he just had some words in the chorus but not in the main track in that version anyhow.

downloading gang starr discography. something i shoulda done a long time ago.

as far as scratching and cutting goes, Q bert's the best i've heard so far.

PS Dan, you're awesome, I love your taste in music and the way you think about things, many <3's

You must've listened to Afternoon Love In.

When we meet we'll have prolonged mental intercourse.

1:39 is

Going through the list. Found this wonderful thing by Nightmares on Wax:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PI_mQwCT0I

also, the 1.7GB discography dl'd in 30 mins or so. fastest i've dl'd in ages.

Listening to both nightmares on wax and the other joint, afternoon love in, AT THE SAME TIME

That's all the portishead you'll ever need.

Aw yea, gotta find a lovely lady to love

~10 years ahead of it's time

i <4 dance:

this song blew up for 15 minutes then whoever these guys were fizzled:



didn't remember the cameos though but nice to see i guess

i always thought this song was about how the guy was gay but it's not. it's a good song nonetheless.

might be a repost.

this hasn't been bumped here yet.



fine ass black honeys.

This song was on the GSL last night

Michael Stipe doesn't have AIDS, this is mildly shocking to me.

After further review of suggestions I'm gonna download some Little People, Madlib, J Dilla, and Prefuse 73.  R.E.M. is one of those bands I've really felt like I should be into, but it never clicks with me.  I do like Losing My Religion and The One I Love though.

Today I've been listening to some post-punkish stuff

this game was the first RPG i owned. it fucking rocked:



brings back happy memories of being a 10 year old boy.

i like it. but are they black or is it just the name?

Really liked the HTRK. I was in the exact right mood. 

yo TMP, that was the one where you had a weapon that had like 50/50 uses kind of like pokemon right?  And you had like 4 worlds that you traveled to?  I have a lot of memories of that one

no, in this one you had the mana tree and the sword that kept leveling up and you could charge it up. you also had a chocobo. this was right after FF1 for NES i believe.

EDIT: i have no idea what game you're talking about but it sounds epic. FF adventure was made in 91.

oh that one. i've played that one too. but that was pure FF with a party, you could buy machine guns and all kinds of weird shit. i can't remember anything else though. i remember an orb puzzle.

Call me G-ternal


I was 14 ok guys

14?  you were probably like 4 when this came out.

EDIT: love the way the bald guy sings.

I only ever knew Tupac as a dead rapper.
