My favorite from Tip, doesn't sound like typical Southern though but like an NYC banger instead. Thanks to Jake One for blessing him with this instrumental.

2QWQVm9J5DM I love Southern Hip Hop songs that are so classic that they transcend their region, to the point other regions of Hip Hop cite them in their lyrics: "Knowing, all the shit now one knows. Way before radio played throw them bows"." ™Large Professor "Nann nigga, you know Nann nigga just li...

Nice job by Skillz, I've been a fan since The Nod Factor.

My dream: to round up all the so-called rappers from NYC who the media hold up on a pedestal for everything but their skills. Then blast them all with a pile of shit like Charlie Sheen & Emilio Estevez in the movie Men At Work.

A little something for your added satisfaction to go along with that PayPal dispute.

Chose Sean P although I still need to check out most of the list. Many styles of Hip Hop have come and gone but I'll always love the mystique and rebellious attitude of slept-on underground Hip Hop before anything else. One to add to the list: Turn Up The Fuckin' Bass Pt 2 is a slept-on indie gem im...

Was listening to some archives of The Halftime Show and got reminded about this outstanding project from 2010 by Nottz. He's been dropping gems over the past decade, either by himself, with DMP or production for others.

You can double click on the video frame to download the video then convert it to audio with a free program called MPEG Streamclip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72E1IHyn9U8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and unikone's Hulkshare upload: http://hiphop-thegoldenera.blogspot.com/2015/02...

Forgot about this gem from 2011: DXA's "DXArmy Vs The Rhythmonster" EP! Sounds like it was recorded back in '91 from the wit and exuberance of each lyricist combined with their lo-fi SP1200 sample-based sound.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61sjwHYP1rL._SL500_AA280_.jpg Some of those mixtape cover designs are insane! I used to work at a mixtape store on 125th St in West Harlem in the late 90's/early 2000's and don't remember any being so cartoonish. Thanks for the flashback, Dipset definitely brou...

^Yes, much appreciated for chronicling L.I. Hip Hop.

You can still count on PF member dirty waters for sharing a lot of golden era tapes. Hiphopbattlefield.com by MFGRIMM's partner and GrandGood find some cool stuff on the regular.

Oh yeah, RZA in his prime was nice on the mic. That Bobby Digital alter ego he used is always interesting to revisit. He sounded like he had a lot of chaotic life experience backed up in him over the years, and his medium for expressing it all was the microphone. "You know us to be robust, the great...

I hope ego-trip comes back! Great content and they used to feature my blog posts on the regular. Maybe their in the background cooking up something else that'll be great for Hip Hop.

Yes, great video/remix mashup by Tek & Steele. Black Moon did the same thing too on Buck Em Down and I Got You Open. I've been seeing people create their own remix video mashups in recent years by replacing the audio of the video file. Last one that got me amped was the remix video for Mad Flavaz by...

I remember liking Caltroit, it was to me an example of how Black Milk made a strong breakthrough around this time by carrying the Dilla torch. I listen to some of Black's beat tapes from around this time too. For some innovative and quality Hip Hop post '08 I recommend the work of Dre's right-hand m...

^damn, that's funny. I can't imagine Mike Rapaport rapping. Yeah, he is basically hating on the new mainstream sound in the interview, not because of chart-topping status but specifically the new sound of those artists who top the charts. I'm much the opposite of Mike in my demeanor: I'm an easy-goi...

I never knew he was, i never saw him as a go-to. Though I do agree with him on a number of points and his rant was funny.

5lypbhnPGhU Not a fan of this show or any of these commercial platforms who use Hip Hop for the dollar while sacrificing it's cultural integrity.

^One of the many reasons why I hurt my stomach from laughing at this radio show as a teen.

"I rip up all you rappers like little pieces of paper. I book it, then I look it all you hookers get the vapors" ™Kool G Rap G's wordplay is crazy throughout Keep It Swingin, one of the many dope rhyme styles that stands out to me amongst his catalog.

These were good times. I remember the feeling of being surrounded by classic Hip Hop music and culture with my cousin who was equally hyped.
