Golden Age Hip Hop Videos: April 2008
http://goldenagehiphop.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Golden Age Hip Hop Videos. Friday, April 11, 2008. It's been a while since I dropped a new post, so what better way to get back on the horse than post this video of 20 Hip Hop songs you "need to hear." By and large it's a very solid list, highlighting album tracks and more obscure songs rather than the trite-and-true knee-jerk playbook that most mainstream rap fans will throw out there. Here is Part 1. And here is Part 2. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Its been a while since I dropped a new post, so w.

Golden Age Hip Hop Videos: K-Solo - "Fugitive"
http://goldenagehiphop.blogspot.com/2006/06/k-solo-fugitive.html
Golden Age Hip Hop Videos. Sunday, August 02, 2009. I don't know whether or not K-Solo was really a fugitive in Suffolk County or not, but he paints a pretty vivid picture of why he's on the run from the cops. (Apparently hitting someone in the face with a brick will get you in trouble with the law. Pffffft! He also does a lot of laughing in cops faces, which I know for a fact they do not care for. Two years went by, me running from the cops. My mom looked at my dad, my dad said "Son, this has gotta stop".

Golden Age Hip Hop Videos. Saturday, July 19, 2008. The Best Rapper Alive? The steaming pile of crap known as Vibe Magazine has created a "bracket" for Best Rapper Alive. You can download the printable bracket here. Let's take a look at the list of some of the MCs on the list:. There are some interesting choices of people that I like but wouldn't consider in the Greatest Rapper Ever category, such as Q-Tip, Raekwon, Scarface, etc. You are telling me that Diddy is one of the 65 best MCs alive? Most infuri...

Golden Age Hip Hop Videos. Monday, May 05, 2008. MTV Raps 20th Anniversary. Looks like someone at MTV got an interesting idea to show old rap videos. Am I the inspiration? Who am I to say? They are showing a bunch of videos from 1992. Which I think it can be safely declared was the single greatest year of hip hop music. Give it a look. (Although the vids on this site, though seldom is it updated, are far superior. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). MTV Raps 20th Anniversary. View my complete profile.

Golden Age Hip Hop Videos: Souls of Mischief - "'93 Til Infinity"
http://goldenagehiphop.blogspot.com/2006/06/souls-of-mischief-93-til-infinity.html
Golden Age Hip Hop Videos. Saturday, August 01, 2009. Souls of Mischief - "'93 Til Infinity". I don't know if it's the song itself or the very laid-back video with the outdoor settings, but this video is one that really sticks in my head as a favorite. It's not all that impressive or innovative but it was such a refreshing change from a lot of the in-your-face, in the ghetto imagery of the time. At the time, I would say Heiro was the premier West Coast hip hop crew, but I might be biased because they sou...

Golden Age Hip Hop Videos. Friday, July 31, 2009. Das EFX - "Baknaffek". Das EFX's second album, Straight Up Sewaside. Was a decent, if disappointing follow up to their debut, Dead Serious. Which really revolutionized rap for about 3-4 years with the "biggidy-diggidy" style they perfected. That style was later used by many other rap artists, from Bone Thugs and Harmony to Ice Cube. Das Efx - Baknaffek. Shippity bop, well hot diggity, where's the iggity? I'm swoopin on the note just like I was a kamikaze.

Golden Age Hip Hop Videos: Madvillain - "All Caps"
http://goldenagehiphop.blogspot.com/2006/06/madvillain-all-caps.html
Golden Age Hip Hop Videos. Friday, August 07, 2009. Madvillain - "All Caps". Okay, so I just started this thing and I'm already cheating. Madvillain was a project that combined one of rap's best producers (Madlib) and one if it's best MC's (MF Doom), and although this album came out in 2003 (not anywhere near my "golden age" promise), it could have come out in 1993, except that it would have been so ahead of it's time that no one would have even given it a chance.

Golden Age Hip Hop Videos: Smoothe da Hustler - "Broken Language"
http://goldenagehiphop.blogspot.com/2006/06/smoothe-da-hustler-broken-language.html
Golden Age Hip Hop Videos. Monday, August 03, 2009. Smoothe da Hustler - "Broken Language". I first heard this song in 1995 on college radio and was blown away by it. The beat sounds like something Mobb Deep would create, and the lyrics (after Trigga the Gambler's tepid first verse) are amazing, describing a sort of superhero or uber-badass. For months we had no idea who performed the song or what it was called, so we just called it "The Who? Since nearly every line in the song is "The .". Gravediggaz - ...

Golden Age Hip Hop Videos. Saturday, August 15, 2009. Hydrogen vs. Boost. Monday, August 10, 2009. Kam - "Peace Treaty". This song comes from that brief moment in about 1992-92 where East Coast and West Coast hip hop sounded very very similar. Kam, in my opinion, was one of the better rappers from the Left Coast from this era, and his album, Neva Again. I wouldn't blame them honestly. Lookin at the aftermath of the riot. I can still smell the ashes. From all the clashes. We pass by a swap meet. Hittin st...
