I googled The Hood Internet but all I found was a bunch of mashup crap. What else have they done in the way of original production for straightforward rap songs? Tracks 1, 6 and 7 on this: http://mishkanyc.bandcamp.com/album/the-hood-internet-the-hood-internet Everything else is mashup crap (so far).

Hah, look who's talking.

Yes, or the 253 as he calls it. Also a huge fan of 'Mah' on the Switch Gearz tape, definitely looking out for more of his stuff. <object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HnFg6ie_boE?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></p...

Gingerbread Man does like his seasonal crops... Still has that 99th Demention sound, always good to hear!

18 months ago she was rapping over Ladytron samples.

She needs to stick to house music and run with that.

:larry: at kitschy. Talking about the cover art of Rebirth of Slick... That's not entirely untrue, even by today's standards. People should be talking about this more: <object width="560" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JUYaa7_Osik?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param...

So let's just look at the facts

Hilarious.

Shit, Watergate: http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=21488

Testing the Waters has been out on CD for a while though.

Any chance there's a smaller version available? 20mb a song is making my wmp crash everytime. :lastweek: Try switching to http://www.foobar2000.org or http://www.aimp.ru On an un/related note, glad to see Testing The Waters is getting a CD release, hopefully more people will get to hear it this way.

I appreciate your tautological way to put it, and I think we agree.
I just don't feel like expounding enough to convince you that we do, but we agree.

I agree with your argument, but don't pin this absurd, deeply flawed attempt at qualitative assessment on us old folks. While there are some of us that subscribe to it, most of us just want to listen to dope music. I've met way more younger people who think they can map out rap music through formul...

Technical skill in rap can actually be defined. It's not subjective. By all means...define it... Rhyme schemes, metaphors, cadence and clarity are actual skills that can be qualified. They all can be measured. Eminem clearly has better rhyme schemes than say Eazy E. It can be broken down by syllabl...

They JUST restocked it at Access.

Chicken or the egg, really. Would No Limit artists have gotten as big as they did without No Limit? Would No Limit have got as big as they did without BBTP and/or Pen & Pixel? Don't forget that No Limit wasn't in Louisiana until 95, P was operating everything out of California before then. KLC, Serv...

I'll be honest, I read Strange Famous at first.

Strange Music makes more sense though.

I thought there were only XXLs left?

His first album was "meh" as most first albums are, then he released an mixtape that had some good moments. He released an EP for free with Ryan Lewis a couple of years ago that was real good. Then they remixed it and put it out for money last year and it was less good. Album's coming out this year ...

It was originally Lil Ya and Tec9, then Yella Boyee came on board after they signed to Cash Money (1992?) and he was killed in 1996 (97?) ... They've been trying to make a come back, but it hasn't worked too well for them, lost their homes and recordings in Katrina, succesfully sued Cash Money for u...

Is the Computer Chip coming out on Machina Muerte then? Yeah? Yeah?

I wish there were more tracks I had never heard before (and more Barfly) but this is great.
