Old school rap..

[Elite]

Anyone into the older stuff like Cypress Hill, Mobb Deep, Public Enemy, etc?

[Bjornebye]

I used to be. Still play a bit now and then if I'm walking with my headphones in. Cypress Hill are great.

Was it Public Enemy on before the Stone Roses at the Etihad? Quite enjoyed them.

 

[manwiththestick]

Yep, was big into it in late 80's, BDP, Erik B & Rakim, Ice T, NWA, Big Daddy Kane the list goes on. Not into much after that as my tastes changed but still listen to the odd album every once in a while.

I've got a mate who absolutely loves his rap/hip hop. A proper fountain of knowledge of the genre right back from the 80s. he fucking hates me talking to him about it because I used to (and still do) love 2Pac, Dre, Snoop, Warren G, DMX.....

You had me until DMX. What the fuck?

[sh#t waffle]

Golden age hip hop (mid '80s to mid '90s) is one of the most creatively fertile periods in music for me. Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim, KRS One, Ultramagnetic MCs, NWA, De La Soul, Beasties, EPMD, Nas, The Wu, The Pharcyde, Gang Starr all among my favourite acts of all time.

The Game doesn't get enough attention, but the obvious King of the Hill is Eminem. His last two albums have been very, very good - his use of double entendres has always been immense but he's taken it to a whole new level on these albums. Just adding his presence to a record makes the record better (in most cases anyway)

 

 

 

[Bjornebye]

You could add Ft. Eminem to any tune and it will make it better. 

 

Pavarotti Ft Eminem - Nessun Dorma

 

Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me
Il nome mio nessun saprà
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò

Take That Ft Eminem - Pray

 

Gary - All I do each night is pray...

Eminem - ...that you'll think of me on your final day

Gary - All I do each night is sing...

Eminem - ...that this shit blew up, you couldn't do a thing.

Bryan Adams Ft. Eminem - Run To You

 

Bryan Adams: She says her love for me could never die
But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I

Eminem: And his girlfriends screaming in the trunk 

Bryan Adams: Oh but her love is cold
Wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, 'cause

Eminem: She slipped, fell on his dick

Bryan Adams: When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch

I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you

Eminem: Bitch, I'ma kill you! You ain't got the balls to beef
We ain't gon' never stop beefin', I don't squash the beef

Like a lot of the Cypress Hill stuff (the stuff in Training Day is dope). I was never a fan of Mobb Deep, I know there was a lot of hatred between them and Tupac etc. There seemed to be a little bit of a Beatles/Elvis thing with NWA/Public Enemy - you either liked one or the other and if you liked both you just didn't get it. I much preferred NWA and it was a long time after the event that I listened to Public Enemy.
