One of the only podcasts I make sure to check for and keep up on.

Damn y'all thought of some more fuckin' classics and glaring omissions. The thread that continually pays dividends. Eich, once again, quality choices. Can't think of any Kill-A-Hoe joints that fit off top but that's a good call, worth lookin' into at least. As far as Da Enemy, that was one I conside...

Those are all some good picks Eich. And Brandon, yeah I heard that Jaysun album. Problem here is this song is lacking the key element required, being on the lam. Right? I don't know, I listened back to it again but I don't see it. It's not enough that the cops or even the SWAT team are in pursuit, p...

Yeah, Temperature's Rising was one of the first on my original mental list and somehow got left out. Thankfully this thread is righting stuff like that. Keep throwin' names everyone, this has been great so far. Nice to see some more recent material added as well, now we're down to just six of the la...

On the contrary, I'm glad you're helpin' to keep this thread alive. Just updated the list in the original post to make it easier to see what we have already and to show the overall progress. Still lookin' for more, so continue to think up other inclusions everybody. And don't be afraid to throw a su...

Instant response: These aren't even your rips. Stop selling other people's MP3s, you are a vulture and a disgrace to the online hip hop community. How do you know? Do you have proof or going off of heresay? Check my instagram, i post the process of ripping and my collection daily. God bless Sent fro...

Kool G Rap & DJ Polo – Wanted: Dead or Alive (1990) Kool G Rap & DJ Polo – Still Wanted Dead or Alive (1992) X-Raided – Call Tha Guardz ft. Sicx (1992)* Brotha Lynch Hung – Lay Low ft. Lethal (2001) * – Maybe a bit of a stretch as it does start off with cop killing (though we aren't told what exactl...

Nicely done everyone. Love that we're getting everything from old school to current day, all different regions, some tracks with just a bar here or there, others with the song built around it. Exactly what I'm looking for, keep addin' on. Cappadonna's Run Meant to include this in my original comment...

:icedit: Updated list, gathered from the help below. Breaks Free: Cut 'n Run Beastie Boys – Paul Revere (1986) Ice-T – 6 N the Morning (Single Version) (1986) - (Album Version - 1987) Public Enemy – You're Gonna Get Yours (1987) N.W.A. - Fuck Tha Police (1988) Public Enemy – Black Steel in the Hour ...

Asthma.

Big L was killed February 15th, 1999 if that's what you meant. I was really just referring to that time period in general because of Eazy-E in '95, Pac in '96, Big in '97, those guys were worldwide names already. L and Pun to a lesser extent. Mac Dre certainly wasn't showing signs of falling off, he...

My fave Syko production for Dre would be this song... Jimmy Wopo was definitely a sad one for me. He was very hit and miss but when he did get it right... he was so good. Syk did damn near half that Mac Dammit Man comp. Agreed on Wopo, he had a few hits. Sad to see that another one of the American ...

The first five responses, five different answers. In previous years there were more clear-cut choices, the voting was kind of a foregone conclusion. Voted Craig Mack. Had an inkling that this would be the :phila:ick. Honorable mention to Syko for producing Thizzelle Dance and Boss Tycoon? Voted XXX ...

2014 – Big Bank Hank of Sugarhill Gang

Fucking great thread. Debbie Harry hosting the Funky 4 + 1 SNL episode :ohhh: :rockout: Thanks man, lemme know if there's anything seen here, or from the other threads in this series, that you're lookin' to grab. And also if you see that there's anything not listed that you're able to add. Yeah, th...

Huh, yeah the internet doesn't seem to know much about that one, perhaps for good reason. For those like me who are interested despite the warning signs, here's a taste from an old WFMU broadcast , although from what was selected all we get is some word for word recitation, followed by a bit of ligh...

Next in line, 1981.

Thanks Sigma, I've been talking about full rips but single tracks are appreciated as well.

Do you happen to have your '79 mix in 320 or lossless?

Ed Piskor's graphic novel Hip Hop Family Tree Vol. I does a good job of capturing the culture up until this point. Events: Battles and Videos January 12th, 1981 – Blondie's Rapture single released. Also around that time Downtown '81 wraps filming, but would remain unfinished for almost twenty years....

Welcome to the third installment of High Quality Recent Addition Project of (preferably) MP3s. A lot of us, probably the majority, first visited this site at least initially, to discuss and trade music. Over the years we have certainly amassed a lot of the same stuff, but also, perhaps at times unkn...

All I got is a 128 CBR shitty watermarked / mixtape version of the first track.

Whoa, don't say things you can't take back.

I'm ready to start the eighties with the HQRAPMP3s: 1980 thread. (Which, by the way, is where I decided to put that Live Convention '77-'79 {2007} [V2] rip, at least for now 'til I think of somewhere better.) But don't think that means I'm done with this thread or checkin' for seventies rap, on the ...

One year later and not all that much had changed since the end of the seventies, but there were a couple things that were new and different. Rapper's Delight had reached international acclaim, having been covered in Dutch and Portuguese , now the Germans would add their take. For the first and only ...

Hey, thank you. I'd been all talk up until you decided to be the make it happen cap'n and start us off here. For sure dude, I think there was a thread discussing it on DWG at some point as well. Fools a lot of people. Like I said, still worth checkin' out for those who haven't, but it's more of a mo...
