Another track off Illmatic that I loved was Represent. That joint was SO hard. Demigodz (Apathy, Celph Title, Motive) KILLED that beat on Apathy's, "Where's Your Album??!" mixtape from 5 years ago. I had a copy of it and I lost it for years, I finally got another copy of it. Celph Titled's verse was SO sick. "They say a way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but I know a short cut through the chest which ain't too far from it." He has a gem in the freestyle later in the mixtape by saying, "Drivin' through the streets, I see lil' bits of your crew. I can't tell if it's a gay club or a Black Eyed Peas video shoot."

 

Since people love hip hop so much, I wanted to bring up the dopest producer ever????
1. Kinda cliche but Primo "Above the Clouds" just sends shivers up my spine
2. Jay Dilla
3. DJ Krush
4. Prince Paul
5. Omid
6. Dan the Automator

 

dankest

 

I mean really when it comes to Illmatic you can go wrong as far as Im concerned Ive listened to at least a few tracks from that cd every day for the past 3 years and it still isnt old

 

illmatic still at it like wool fabric

 

"Dial the seven digits
Call up bridget
Her mans a midget
Plus she got friends, yo, I can dig it"

god@m this song is timeless. 16 years old and sounds better than most rap out there today.

 

speaking of awesome producers, anybody listen to any of nujabes stuff? a lot of people think his stuff is closer to real hip hop than this new age rap.

 

Oh, here was the track I was talking about!



As far as my producers list. I would put Dr. Dre on top overall, but I just felt a lil' more heart and soul out of Pete Rock and Dilla (damn that "Donut of the Heart" track!).

1. Pete Rock
2. Jay Dilla
3. Dr. Dre
4. DJ Premier
5. Alchemist (been diggin' a lot of his stuff for the past 5 years)

I've been listening to that DJ Deckstream "Soundtrack2" CD for the past week. Awesome stuff. I've been listening to Nujabes since I heard his joints on Samurai Champloo and I used to use one of his songs as my wake up alarm on my old phone. LOL.

 

Oh I thought you meant the original, but Im really diggin that track!^

 

I <3 Celph Titled.

The most offensive (to PC nerds), hilarious ball of awesome ever.

Check out "Donkey ***" by him, Apathy and Majik Most.

"Naked Puerto Rican chicks ridin' on donkeys"

And now for start the war, East Coast rap > West Coast rap.

 

You just say that because you're a goddamn New Yorker!

To be honest, I agree with you; west coast rap isn't what it used to be. But don't forget the midwest -- the Rhymesayers and Doomtree crews are pretty impressive.

btw, Brother Ali is playing Oct 17.

 

I completely agree that east coast>west coast all day.
And where is that brother Ali concert?
I saw atmosphere/blueprint/abstract rude last year and that was DOPE. Ryhmesayers kills it
