And if anyone is interested in some less NY-centric mixes, there's a bunch of Jaycee mixes up here Yeah, he doesn't speak on the situation or whatever, but it's clearly what the mix is about. Also not hip hop but here's funkmaster flex playing 80s dance classics. http://djelwood.blogspot.com/2007/11/funk-flex-dance-classics-set-123193.html

Svartvit posted:Tech may sometimes be pretty far out in his lyrics, but I am confused by the way some people dismiss his music because of it - as if the game in general exhibits high-brow lyrical depth - and then go on recommending Rick Ross as if his rhymes would pass the intellectual bar or something. Not pointing fingers at anyone in here, but that's the classical response everytime he drops something and I just find it very weird. Well, the advantage that the game and rick ross have over immortal technique is that they have had the opportunity to work with top quality producers. I would have more time for immortal technique if I enjoyed the beats he chose more.

Out of curiosity temple, where are you from? I think the subjective experiences we have had from different regions colors our perceptions of what is popular. I live in New York and I would say that hearing a 2pac song in an old school set is maybe as common as like an epmd song or something. Maybe even a bit less likely.

Who Gotch Ya posted:I'm in NYC and I don't know anybody who only listens to people from their hometown or even gives half a poo poo about where somebody is from as long as they can rap. I have to respectfully disagree, although the situation is more complex than temple argues. Definitely in clubs people respond to stuff from their home borough being played and if you listen to the radio they definitely bring up geography a lot. Further, if you recall, big krit and waka flacka got jeered when they first performed in New York, although I would argue a lot of that had to do with poor marketing and expectations management. I.E. it was dumb to put big krit on the bill for a joell ortiz show and waka flaka with raekwon, as those sort of rappers definitely do bring out a reactionary crowd. But yeah, the average person doesn't really care about that stuff so much. However, what I was getting to in my first point is that there is a tremendous variance in the many hip hop discourses in the US and around the world that does not take well to generalizations. 2pac is extremely important for some of these and marginal for others. I would like to know, though, as an open question to everyone in this thread: How often is 2pac played on the radio/in clubs/in your hip hop scene/your social circle nowadays where you live? plogo fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Oct 31, 2011 |

Waroduce posted:Hello, rap goons. I am writing a paper about the concept of freedom as discussed by Marcuse, Camus and Sartre. The class is taught by a PH.D candidate who's relatively young (around 26-28) who is a big rap fan. He likes Talib Kwali, Mos Def, and prefers Tupac to Biggie. I asked him to help me with a paper and we ended up discussing older rap, as I'm a pretty big fan of Rakim, Treach, The Roots, NWA and Biggie. Anyway, I've successfully worked in relevant quotes from Tupac and Common, but I'd like one more. I want to lead the paper off with a nice quote about freedom from another rapper, but nothing is coming to mind at the moment. Would anyone have a suggestion by any chance? You should pick something from the x-clan.

Profondo Rosso posted:I am dumbstruck as to how French Montana of all people is so popular. This doesn't do much to help explain it He went the time honored route of releasing a ton of underground mixtapes with other underground superstars in the bronx to gain cred amongst rap fans, then made underground club hits which became mainstream club hits after hot 97 and power 105 couldn't ignore their popularity, then hooked up with puffy to make an album.

temple posted:French has a lot of connections. He's been around the block and he got on a song with Drake, Wayne and Ross. That's not some underground luck. He was down for 50 too. 50 made a good point about how Drake was never an underground 'mixtape' artist because you don't get played on the radio unless someone is paying or connected. I'm starting to believe a lot of underground -> mainstream acts are like that. It's not underground luck I never said it was, but he was selling mixtapes with Nicki Minaj and stuff in the Bronx and and that is where his early connections developed. I mean obviously at some point he hooked up with good management, I don't know the details exactly, but he released a shitload of mixtapes before he broke through and was a cult figure for a long time. 50 is correct in that most radio play is hardly a meritocracy, but there are many other routes to radio play as well. In the case of French Montana it was through force of popularity in clubs that "Shot Caller" got play on the radio. For another example a song that became popular through club djs playing it a lot in NY see the Ted Smooth remix of beyonce's Love on Top, which I doubt anyone outside of New York cares about, but was sorta a similar case. E.G. widely respected hip hop figure amongst the heads in New York releases a tune that gets played a ton amongst dj's then gets play on the radio.

asap-salafi posted:I don't think you understood what I was trying to say. Firstly, I enjoy listening to both Chief Keef and French Montana. I actually loved Keef's album and thought it was ingenious. However, you have to admit that from a musical point of view, it's not good, he's talentless and gimmicky. The music was created in the same way pop music is created, by using a tried and tested formula. In about 10 years time, you're (probably) gonna be looking at these guys the same way we look at crunk or hyphy artists. They're fads and will make way for other (and probably also talentless) individuals. I mean it's not like people are gonna care about Freddie Gibbs or Action Bronson or whatever in 10 years, just like no one cares about Problemz or Natural Elements or whatever nowadays. It has nothing to do with the quality of the music, it is how the music is remembered in various forms of media (blogs or magazines or complex lists or clubs or whatever.) Like nowadays there's a lot interest in old memphis mixtapes which was a thing on blogs and forums and people in memphis for a long time, but now extends to techno dudes of all people because legowelt made some mixes of memphis rap. The music isn't any better or worse pre/post legowelt mix, but there is now a new authority of "look at this under appreciated artistic music" that spurs a new interest in the music and causes some people to view it as more artistic when they wouldn't have necessarily felt that way before. (Obviously there's more than just the legowelt mix to the way that perceptions of mephis mix tapes have changed, but simplifying the narrative to that makes my point more obvious.) Also I'm never gonna forget about hyphy cause this is one of my favorite mixtapes ever https://soundcloud.com/djbigmikeyair/super-disco-hyphy-mix-b-cause . plogo fucked around with this message at 04:06 on May 21, 2013 |

There are songs and features Kool G Rap has that are alright like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luPLS2rQqBA post 4,5,6 but it's not really worth the effort digging through all the lesser stuff in my opinion. I guess half a klip is alright. It's also worth tracking down the remixes on his older stuff if you haven't done that. Have you heard the remixes to fast life? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTiwlYvbXkk (my fav from salaam remi) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqfP2MoKYz4 (vinyl reanimators!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRqBOgsPtyA (buckwild) plogo fucked around with this message at 04:55 on May 21, 2013 |

Alvarez IV posted:You know how there's an unofficial canon of music deemed capital-i Important by the people who dictate modern taste (e.g. anyone who writes for Rolling Stone or similar publications)? You know how it's 99% ancient poo poo because these people are senior citizens, yet there are still tons of young people who will listen to Sgt Pepper's or The Wall for fun? I'm curious, what's the oldest hip-hop "classic" that people these days will still listen to for fun and not just historical significance? I dunno, I think there are a ton of great rap albums that are fun to listen to going back to around the Paid In Full era. But I also think you question is a little loaded in that I don't really play albums in full for my friends in general. I mean the only thing I would conceivably play in full for my friends from the past 10 years is Coke Wave, and that's a once in a generation work of rap (and it's a mixtape.) I think also your experience might be colored by the mediums by which you are exposed to other rap consumers. If you go to a bar or whatever (at least in New York) djs often open up with a lot of late 80s/early 90s rnb, and rap party classics before moving to their top 40 power hour type stuff, and I'm pretty sure the people in those venues are listening to the music for fun rather than historical significance when they play "beats to the rhyme" or something.
