Aha, found you. Time to resurrect this baby from the bowels of the music forums, and I'd like to dedicate this resurrection to my old SF buddy Sundialed who created this thread. Not that he's dead or something (I hope) but doesn't come around here anymore as far as I'm aware.

Had a couple tracks and initially posted them in the 'what are you listening to..' thread but thought they might be too abrasive or upsetting in some way for the spirit of that thread, plus i then thought it might be an idea to dig this thread up and post some hip hop on the off chance there might be some hip-hop fans out there.

ANyhoo, here's the two I had in mind, the first one I've been looking for the title of for years after having it unlabeled for the longest time with only the vaguest recollection of where it came from or what it was called, hallelujah! I figured it out finally and can share it now.

Phi Life Cypher w/ Vadim - Ghetto Rebels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da7JBMpPaWs Lupe Fiasco - Put Em Up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG0gW0NIhHw

And a couple classics;

De La Soul - Eye Know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1CaN4thI5w Tonedeff - Monotony https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5iHO7dNC1Q

Visioneers-Old Dirty Hip-Hop

Binary Star

Jurassic 5

There's a lot of music out there that's a combo of electronica and hip hop...Mushroom Grooves-Mark Farina or Gramatik...great

Time for another installment in the ol hippity hoppity thread.

Eric B & Rakim - I know You Got Soul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUii3L4Fqok Coldcut remix of Paid in Full https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWu0ciM-E5Q

Spooky /Jungle Brothers - Where I'm At https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpucGpdPAcI Shad/Skratch Bastid - Homie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgSJviuj-cI

came across this on the side of the road of my youtube wanderings. B-Boy battle, seems choreographed which is new to me; regardless these guys can move.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDFNWGO4HDQ The Morning Owl crew especially i find impressive. Starts off slow and takes them awhile to pull out the big tricks. though.

i'm a huge fan of hip hop. particularly old school, when people put their heart and soul into it.

here are some of my favorites:
Bone thugs n Harmony - Crossroads http://youtu.be/y-JmZ9ADhYg

Naughty by Nature - Uptown Anthem http://youtu.be/4BUqEMNP9zc

Souls of Mischief - 93 til infinity http://youtu.be/0VwfYCFYZws

brings back childhood memories. :smile:

ocean breeze - That Souls of Mischief is a classic of course. 'This is how we chill in ninety-three until...'

Want to post some from a french artist named Guts, put a few of his tracks in the electronica thread as well but he's probably more properly called hip hop than anything, and i have more from him I want to post so thought I'd double down on some Guts in this thread.

These are all instrumental (besides singing & other samples) although he does plenty of tracks w/ rappers also.
