ZiderEyed Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 @Notbarrymanc @jaydee=inspiration Off the back of the Dilla thread thought I might start a Hip Hop one for the small cross-section of City fans/HH enthusiasts. Here's 2 tracks I've been spinning a lot, both out the BLAH! camp: Not the kind of traditional boom bap Dilla is known for, far more gritty and underground, but very much and old school sort of vibe to it.

Shame he left HF but always good to see someone with his talent excel. Absolute tune that. Cappo is one I always have my eye on too. Jehst, Chester P and the rest of the UKHH graduates are very much my babies. I maintain absolutely that those two are the best the UK ever produced! I'll buy a pint for anyone who can name me a better UKHH artist haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notbarrymanc Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 everyone’s favourite postman I saw him last year and he’s still got it. Unfortunately, his output never quite matched the return of the drifter, which is understandable as it’s not far off perfection, but still, I’ve always been a bit disappointed by Jehst. for me it’s all about Chester p. And I’ve got a lot of time for the elementz in production. I think that would be my dreamteam ps we could do a mini series about what they did next. Mc dynamite is a sommelier at a high end restaurant in shoreditch these days. Chester p stayed true to his roots and is just a drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him at the Fleece last year on his tour too. I really enjoyed Billy Green fwiw, was an amazing album considering the evolution in content from him. Although you’re right and he never really reached the heights his obvious talent promised. Wiccaman Theory might be my favourite ever HH track mind - Chester is a genius.

Pickle Rick Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 A couple new age artists I've been listening to. Pop Smoke unfortunately died at a very young age but was coming up.

The Batman Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Cue the uneducated post by me here. Always wondered where the line was drawn between whether a song is considered hip hop or rnb. This is one of my favourite all time songs. I have a great nostalgia hit when I hear this song and plus, it's a really great song. Now, some consider this rnb, others put it in a hip hop category. Would this be acceptable in this thread?

redsince1994 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 This is my favourite track at the moment. Love the funk inspired hip hop in the US and Canada currently. Def3 one of my favourite MCs at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this be acceptable in this thread? @Smokeyis spot on, but it's definitely more widely seen as Hip Hop imo. Extremely famous track that. The West Coast of the US tended to produce more stuff like this (think gangsta rap), whereas the east coast has a more definitively Jazz influenced sound. It's the almost polar opposite of the 60s/70s of rock. NY in particular has a distinctly jazzy tone. A Tribe Called Quest epitomise that for me. You might like this. Mobb Deep were NY, but fused the gangster stuff with the smoothness of the East Coast HH style. Prodigy, of Mobb Deep, died in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauntingly topical and some great collaborations. The more recent RTJ stuff doesn't grab me like RTJ2 did. The sound just doesn't catch on like that album did. I'm into some weird shit at times though. Like Scarlxrd... which maybe just overlaps out of hip hop a bit too much to be relevant here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shame in a 9-5, guys made more of his life than 99% of us. The quality of those tunes back then, both in production and mc'ing were second to none. @Notbarrymanc Yeah mudfam with Chester and Skinny put out some bangers back then. Mark B production was always a sign of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Smoke was defo one of the best mc's to come up in the last 10 years, his cadence, timing, flow were way in front of anyone else. Most of his beats were pretty tight as well, like the above. Don't really listen to too much of the newer stuff nowadays, like trap etc, prefer the UK grime stuff. This guy really caught my ear quite a few years back, what happened to him? For me he had the whole package; his own distinctive sound, an amazing flow over his own beats. His first lp was so solid. Wonder if ASAP stole some of his thunder?
