I'm a nigga too. Our visit to KRS One was cool!

Listening to hophiprapshit since NWA released Straight outta Compton in 1988. Best album ever is still efiL4zaggiN, also by world's most dangerous group NWA followed by the Black Sunday release by Cypress Hill.


But like to listen to (random order):
DMX, Ludacris, Mobb Deep, Public Enemy, XZibit, Wu-Tang family, early Eminem trax and of course the one & only official pimp Ice-T (he made some very cool electro trax too!)

It's not invented like "let's create something to make money in top40 charts".

Hiphop (Hip´Hop) is a term that describes our independent collective consciousness. Ever growing, it is commonly expressed through such elements as Breakin, Emceein, Graffiti Art, Deejayin, Beatboxin, Street Fashion, Street Language, Street Knowledge and Street Entrepreneurialism. Wherever and whenever these and future elements and expressions of Hiphop Kulture manifest; this Hiphop Declaration of Peace shall advise the use and interpretation of such elements, expressions and lifestyle.

true, true, true...
But even if Rap Music it's not better for me.New Hip-Hop i realy hate, excepting for some tracks  by Eminem, just caused by the fact, that the is aible to rap fast with gimmicks and that FAST!
I don't like the business anymore, because Hip Hop was about to tell stories. Nowadays, its just about cars, bitches and drugs.
Oh, btw, 5 Sterne Deluxe has been funny some Years ago... German Happy Hip-Hop at it's best... you realy have to check out "Auf der Yacht nach Dr. Hossa" 

[eichel]

Hiphop is like any music
there's a more serious more underground scene with more quality then money
and there's the commercial things
And Eminem is overrated hehe

[vague98]

i know anti-pop consortium released some stuff on warp

there are even some clips on the warp the videos dvd

@ jilles
just keep me updated on interesting events

[eichel]

company flow - funcrusher plus is the best hiphop-album i know. its produced by el-p who is now solo and runs a label called def jux. the album sounds raw, dark and minimal with syncopated beats who are mostly not sampled, the rhymes are very metaphoric, agressive and 'smokey'. DOWNLOAD IT! 

he collaborated later with alec empire and his first solo album fantastic damage is indeed also fantastic... cant wait for his second that comes out this march.

APC did release on warp, yes, their sound is less dark and raw but more complex and 'idm-ish'. the lyrics are not from this world, futuristic poetry or sumfin. they split in 2003

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Antipop+Consortium

both el-p and apc released collaborations with jazz musicians on thirsty ear.

tes is more of a newcomer, check his lp on lex records (warps hiphop-sublabel). also very 'technoid' and fat beats.

sensational i an ex-jungle brother who has a label called wordsound.

from discogs (very good description):

In 1995, Sensational, going by the name of Torture back then, came to the attention of WordSound through Bill Laswell. It was then that he started recording his debut solo effort, "Loaded With Power", an album like no other in the annals of hip-hop. CMJ called it, "The most bold and experimental hip-hop record of the last couple of years," but even this is an understatement. The tripped-out flows, the broken beats, the lo-fi ambience all created an epic event in hip-hop that largely went unnoticed by the Puffy-worshipping masses. And to think, it was all created by one man using only a four-track, a drum machine and a turntable.

Sensational, in fact, has never been one to sample. Even though he upgraded to an 8-track for his sophomore effort, "Corner The Market", all of his sounds were original and played all the way through a track (since he didn't have any type of sequencer). He even got a real microphone this time around (instead of recording vocals through his headphones like on Loaded), wowing heads with his blunted poetry-in-motion-sickness.

and NMS (company flow-related) are also dark and raw, sampling george bush and throwing in some junglish bits. their first lp is superb.

also from discogs:

After five years of planning, NYC indie-innovator (and central member of Company Flow) Big Justoleum and Californian underground legend Orko Elohiem holed up in a rural cotton mill loft in deep South Georgia and recorded two blistering albums known as "The Nephlim Modulation Sessions". Originally envisaged as a futuristic journey into abstraction, the actions of the Bush administration began to impinge. "After two months of waking up every morning to a blitzkrieg of right wing media innuendo and the most nauseating, ridiculous sabre-rattling paranoia since the McCarthy witch hunts we had no choice but to produce this record," Jus explains.

first album is better!
