Ok time for another addition of some shit I ripped off from MTV. However these clips you may not have seen in between ‘The Bachelor 22′ or ‘School of Rock of Love’.
These 2 rappers are both from Brooklyn, New York. They are a few of the most consistent MCs that have been doing it since the late 90’s. ‘Society Is Brainwashed’ is from the new album ‘The Hour of Reprisal’. Ill Bill has gone back to a more Non Phixion sound which I’m sure most of his fans wouldn’t have a problem with. The clip is nice AND disturbing, and the beat is by DJ Premier!
‘Coffee’ by TheWeathmens, Aesop Rock is a collaboration with Mountain Goat, John Darnielle that appears on his most recent LP ‘None Shall Pass’. It’s some good ol grindhouse gore I tells ya.
Anyway, I like the videos. Stuff goes to the beat n stuff!
Ok this is a lazy post, and this is lazy slideshow YouTube vid, but screw me sideways if this doesn’t sound like some Mind Altering Demented Lessons In Beats.
Ok, I’m going through a bit of a backbacker/hip hop nerd phase again. I like all types of shit. I’m not even gonna break it down, but I love hip hop and I like to know where that sample came from. Ok maybe I am breaking it down!
10cc wrote most of those songs you knew all the words to as a kid and didn’t have a clue who it was. Come to think of it so did J Dilla. Pharcyde’s ‘Runnin’, ‘Vivrant Thing’ by Q-Tip, and De La’s ‘Stakes Is High’ were up there with ‘I’m Not In Love’, ‘Dreadlock Holiday’ and ‘Art For Arts Sake’ for classic tracks of their time.
Jay Dee had such a skill for digging it was scary. 2006’s Donuts was a mastepiece as far as raw sampling goes. The track ‘Workinonit’ took pieces of 1Occ’s ‘Worst Band In The World’ and ‘worked on it!’
I am not going to link ‘Workinonit’ because you are going to buy that shit innit. I am sure Dilla’s mum could still use the money! http://stonesthrow.com/catalog
