Sickboy Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Soul is the only way to go. I'm getting kinda tired of the abstract underground artsy hip hop that conjours up no funk for the soul. I mean its good and all but I like my hip hop the way it should be. Shit that makes you dance and bob your head like tomorrow aint comin. The classics is what I liek to stick too. My list of favorites. The Roots Mos Def Talib Kweli (Blackstar) Black Eyed Peas Jurassic 5 Dilated Peoples Del the Funky Homosapien Organized Konfusion Pharoah Monch Fugees Kos ( new but very cool) Marley Marl Common Krs One Most of Wutang I know theres ton I'm leaving out by accident. What's some of your fav's. http://www.mrblunt.com/puzzle/puzzle8/roots.jpg'> http://www.mtv.com/shared/media/news/images/b/Black_Eyed_Peas/sq-black-eyed-peas-press.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabble Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I love most of the artists you just mentioned. Im also tired of the underground "art fag abstract" stuff. i hate the shows. Its just a bunch of white guys standing around in a hot room with hoodies trying to look hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETHREADZNY Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 oh, and scrabble in a situation like that, the best thing to do is laugh and ignore those that act like that, and enjoy the show. Because, to be honest with you there is some really good independent hip hop out there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabble Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I do laugh, and i try not to look around me because its pretty depressing. I get "eastside boys type rowdy" (as my friends call it) when im at a show so its easy to ignore everyone else around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETHREADZNY Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 it doesn't depress me, because I realize that one day these kids will either grow out of it, and realize their stupidity, or end up dead or in prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickboy Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 There is good independent hip hop.....I wasn't associating artsy abstract with being the only independent hip hop. Most of what I listed besides from the fact that most of those those groups are well known are still independent in the sense of the feeling and skill they produce. Oh and I forgot to mention Blackalicious and Gangstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
