[Closed] Hip Hop you Don't Stop

what about Maybachs?

Ugly Duckling

Deltron 3030

Handsome boy modelling school

Blockhead

+1 for Deltron

MF Doom
Soul Position

Deltron 3030

Handsome boy modelling school

Yes

None of this is 'new' exactly, but try:

Common - Resurrection
Jurassic 5 - J 5
Mos Def - The Ecstatic
Black Star - Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star
Nas - Illmatic
Madvillain - Madvillainy

Listening to a lot of Virus Syndicate of late...

..but then I am a 17 year London Yout trapped in a the body of a 35 year old Fenland Tiger.

try Oddisee - Tangible Dream (or People Hear What They See) - Oddisee is great but underrated IMO.

Little Brother might well be up your street too.

Not exactly new but if you missed Wale's Mixtape About Nothing (2008 i think) give it a spin. He went a bit mainstream after that which is a shame, but that tape was awesome.

I'm a lifelong lover of Hip Hop, since the days of Doug E Fresh's 'The Show', Jazzy Jeff Live at Union Square etc. but didn't like the direction it went in the early 90's and lost faith a little. Recently been listening to the following and they've seriously helped restore my love 🙂

Not exactly brrrannd new but serious Hip Hop and none of yer commercialized 'gangsta shillz-nit'....

J-Live
J-Zone
Blueprint
Cool Calm Pete
Sandpeople
Jake One
Vast Aire
Cannibal Ox
Danger Doom
Doppelgangaz
Senim Silla
Talib Kweli
Company Flow
Audible Doctor
Grayskul
Atmosphere

quite alot of old 'new' stuff being listed... ! I'm going to add to this and say Quasimoto/madlib , he is fantastic.

I know Pitchfork like him but i really got into Kendrick Lemar's good kid maad city. Parts of it are a bit Rnb but it became my fave album of 2013, but it takes time i found

A lot of the Blackalicious/J5 people did other things after:

Chali 2na
Ozomatli
Dino 5
Gift of Gab
Lyrics Born

Then there's
Lateef
DJ Format
Lifesavas

The Pharcyde.

Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy.

+1 for Quasi / madlib / MF Doom

for some brizzle action and not to be taken seriously how about Aspects

or some intelligent(ish) UK Hip Hop from Braintax

some bleep based stuff from Prefuse73 or for sh*ts and giggles try out MC Paul Barman

Jurassic 5
The Goats
Lords of the Underground
Funkdoobiest
Warren G
Snoop
DMX
Cypress Hill
KRS-1
House of Pain

Hilltop Hoods (if ya fancy some Aussie hippity hop?)
Scroobius Pip (ok not hip hop per se, more spoken word on decent beats, but still some awesome stuff)

Akala (check out Akala Fire in the boothpart 1).... in fact, im gonna listen to that now, heres the vid:

[url= https://clppng.bandcamp.com/music ]Clipping[/url] (my no.1 album of 2014 - its a bit nuts)
Shabazz Palaces
[url= https://hellfyreclub.bandcamp.com/album/jimmy-the-burnout ]Milo, Nocando & Busdriver[/url] (Hellfyre club don't go wrong)
[url= https://gorgeouschildren.bandcamp.com/album/gorgeous-children ]Gorgeous Children[/url] (mellow as they come)
[url= https://yellowmaskcxllective.bandcamp.com/music ]Jeremiah Jae[/url] (the JJ of JJ Doom)
Danny Brown
Subtle/Themselves (anything with Doseone!)
[url= https://greenhousecrew.bandcamp.com/album/electric-purgatory-part-one-retail ]Greenhouse[/url] (first album only, second one was rubbish)
Run the Jewels.

I could go on all day!

If you like your hip hop with more poetic/concious/witty/politcal/angry bent, or fancy something a bit leftfield for a change, try Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust is the best of his albums IMHO.

Conforms to your list of stuff you don't like.

'When I say "hip"' [i]'what do I say?'[/i] -'You say shut the f*ck up and I'll respect it.'

Check "Gunz Yo" - a good satire of gangsta hip hop culture:

4130 my mate is in the recently reformed Aspects..! Witness the Pitness Pitman too

Check out this comp:
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Solesides-Greatest-Bumps/release/49167

Some great stuff from Lyrics Born, Latyrx and Gift of Gab. If you like it then look into their albums etc.

Homeboy Sandman too (similar to Milo)

For other 'talky beaty' stuff that may not be strictly hippity hop:

I remember Pitman! "What you always saying 'what, what' for?"

Dizraeli

I'm a lifelong lover of Hip Hop, since the days of Doug E Fresh's 'The Show', Jazzy Jeff Live at Union Square etc. but didn't like the direction it went in the early 90's and lost faith a little

That's a pretty accurate description of me 🙂

We were all about the electro albums, ghettoblasters, spraypaint, lino and the Rocksteady Crew in the mid 80s, but I haven't really listened to anything much other than the oldschool funk and breaks since '93..

A lot of my teenaged crew stayed true to the B-Boy lifestyle though.. Check out Ruztik Records, The Journeymen and Kilo Sinstars FBA

Wow some really good recommendations there, cheers. Handsome Boy Modelling School\Deltron3030, Solesides and People Under The Stairs were ones I probably should have already added as favourites. MF Doom I already appreciated was good but hadn't realised how good until picking up JJ Doom recently.

There's loads there I haven't listened to so looking forward to checking them out. I can't YouTube in work but will check out all the links when I get home.

Calamity James - Solesides is one of the best records ever!
But once you go - ooh I like that, lets find some more like that - you end up very disappointed indeed 🙁

Mantronix aswell.

Dirty North - contemporary, talented.
Or classics like Dead Prez, Jedi Mind Tricks...

"A lot of my teenaged crew stayed true to the B-Boy lifestyle though.."

Same. We were TUF (the unity force) - country boy white kids trying to live the B-boy lifestyle. Ghettoblasters, breakin, spraying graff in disused factories with car paints nicked from the local car parts shop etc. bombing walls in town. Some of the guys are still living like that (and I take my Kangol off to them) - I'm a 40-something typical Dad now 😀

+1 for homeboy sandman
Also check out 'my crews all thinner' by 2 Hungry Bros. My most listened to hip hop album of the last while

Too Many Ts (Londons answer to the Beasties?) Are a fun jump up hip hop boom blap outfit with their tongue firmly in cheek

Abdominal for me, he's done a lot with Format and the Pedal Pusher tune is kind of fitting!

But once you go - ooh I like that, lets find some more like that - you end up very disappointed indeed

Know what you mean. I remember hearing this and thinking there must be loads of hip hop that is this good that isn't about BitchesGunsAndDollaDollaBills y'all. I have found some (albeit maybe not quite as good as this) but it seems pretty difficult to find.

Don't get me wrong. Straight Outta Compton was awesome, so was 36 Chambers but they made a lot of the stuff in between and after seem...well..a bit bollocks.

I'll chuck my (Kangol) hat in.

Nehruvian Doom
People under the stairs.
Oddisse - that's really good call
Willie Evans Junior
Crown City Rockers

Old stuff I still love:-

Kool Keith
t la rock
Sadat x
Brand nubian
Public enemy
Anything from cold chillin
Kool G rap
MC Shan
Roxanne Shante

Philly connection

Schoolly D
Steady B
Tuff City Crew
3 times dope
Mc breeze.

This type of thread makes me think back to my beautiful youth, rapping with ultramagnetics, Gil Scott heron, roy ayers, mc solaar, k creative, and dozens of uk rappers. Happy times indeed.

[i]hip hop that is this good that isn't about BitchesGunsAndDollaDollaBills y'all[/i]

You need to follow my Hellfyre club link 😉 Some fab stuff on there (go for Milo first). Real intelligence in the lyrics as well.
Clipping are different, the lyrics grate for some people but the production is unbelievable, so original, impossible to find a comparison.

When I hear something that makes me think wow! I've not heard anything like that before, that's when I get excited about music. Shabazz Palaces are like that too, but more mellow than clipping.

j dilla
the roots
slum village
j electronica

all worthy of a listen

Has Dilated Peoples been mentioned

Recommended listening from my Aussie Hip Hop collection........

Dialectrix - Cold light of Day
Bliss n Eso - Circus in the Sky
Horrorshow - King Amongst Many
Hilltop Hoods - Walking Under Stars
Mainline - One Day
Spit Syndicate - Sunday Gentlemen.
Illy - The Chase.
Urthboy - Smokeys Haunt.

ha ha taught my little boy a poo song to the theme of the OP's title.

Plip, Plop you don't stop
Coz, Im not stopping
You're gonna hear the poo drrrroooopp!

Dying for him to sing it at nursery.....

Nothing else to add, apart from listening to a bit of DJ Krush at the moment and Kool Keith (Dr Octagon) has released a new album, Demolition Crash this year which is pretty good.

Pharoahe Monche for intelligent lyrics if a little angry in places. PTSD isn't a great album (his latest) apart from the title track but everything else has been pretty good.

Another vote for People under the stairs

Some of the older Mos Def stuff is pretty good

ANYTHING with Q-tip in it,

Souls of Mischief

The Roots

Del the Funky homosapien

Clipping are different, the lyrics grate for some people but the production is unbelievable, so original, impossible to find a comparison.

great tip. thanks! really fresh sounding.

more like lyrical peotry, but it's home grown 😀

Saul Williams?

Really liking The Herbaliser's "There Were Seven" album at the moment. Stand out track for me is Crimes And Misdemeanours

Also, [url=

Nu-Mark's "Broken Sunlight"[/url] is pure magic

Jedi Mind Tricks/Army of the Pharaohs are the good stuff:

Also worth a listen:

Hilltop Hoods
Atmosphere
Cannibal Ox
Z-Trip
Prince Paul

Of course, you could peruse the websites of labels like

Tommyboy Records

Definitive Jux

Ninja Tune

etc etc to get the latest on what is hawt

Task force still flying the UK flag.

FORCE. Music from the corner vol 5 - Another Day[/url]

Oh boy hip hop thread. Aesop rock is well worth a listen (try none shall pass), I'm a big fan of killer mike, el-p and run the jewels as well although you might find them a bit gangsta
