Aw damn, why'd all this have to kick off after I left STW last night? And some of us liked indie and hip-hop (and everything else!) 
Anyway - five for this morning:
Jeru Come Clean "You wanna front what?"
L-Fudge... What if? Rawkus burned bright for a while...
GZA 4th Chamber Terrifyingly good.
Souls of Mischief '93 Till Infinity Ah, summer...
ATCQ Award Tour Never bettered.
On the subject of Show and AG - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67g4qZlOkzc&feature=PlayList&p=FED6F26F7A23DDB3&index=0&playnext=1
Return of Crooklyn Dodgers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opWYnUpNtG8
Scenario remix - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7syWx2U8uk
BTW for some good 90s style hip-hop - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPZ2-FVcM3M
The albums is pretty good too - very premier-esque production
Jeru - Can't stop the Prophet (Pete Rock remix) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riUUUYHsdS8
Damn I used to love hip-hop.
Rawkus burned bright for a while...
Damn straight!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-KDrtLOobQ - featuring the line "You smoke dirty weed ignoring the medicinal herbals, so we in your ass like you was Richard Gere and we was gerbils" 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFyTzjJDeCk - Mos Def and Aretha Franklin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLlo7lTewkw - More Co Flow than Co Flow
This was my favourite Reflection Eternal tune, on the other side - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Srm24A3D_AI&feature=related
Rawkus Records - the only good thing James Murdoch ever did...
2000 Seasons, great stuff. For some reason, this line always really gets to me...
Tilt your head back, and look at the stars
Shining over someplace very far, from where you standing
As much as we're getting nostalgic, what new hip hop do people rate?
Apart from Edan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87fHTt2bAq0
and some MF Doom stuff
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR2BboZeLEw
There isn't an awful lot doing it for me. 
Pete rock and CL smooth, Eric B and Rakim, BDK, J5, Dilated peoples
Now we're **** talkin.
Anyone mentioned the roots?
There isn't an awful lot doing it for me.
These days, being old and all, I just get slowly drunk to the sound of Gillian Welch.
But yes, Gawd bless MF Doom, in all his forms.
Can't get on youtube here, so can't see if anyone's linked The Goats without saying.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAyvj5g0aNg
Tricks of the Shade is an awesome album.
Mr A
MF Doom I quite like but I don't find it too exciting really.
I like the Marco Polo track I posted before with Masta Ace, and some of the other tunes on the album are good too, but it's very derivative of Premier production.
Really liking Prefuse 73 at the mo, although it's pretty weird and mostly instrumental.
Cool videos too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUTEd3OmIK0
The Roots can even play instruments too 
Yeah Prefuse 73 is a little.....challenging...but worthi t!
Ach, the good thing about liking old hip hop is it's a bottomless pit! If you listen to CDs like "Hear No Evil" by DJ Ivory there seems to have been loads of good stuff that slipped through the cracks.
Pete Rock fans should check out the INI album if you haven't already. Only got a proper release a couple of years ago and it's almost as good as his classic stuff.
House of pain - Jump Around was good for its time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwQbPgouUYo
Young MC - Know how, How many tracks has the riff in this been used in..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uvMPP0DGls&feature=related LISTEN TO THIS.
some good tunes up here! Pharcyde - Passing me By was one I wanted to post but got beaten to it, one of my favourite beats of all time!
Nas - Halftime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTOg_RGOEBg
Gravediggaz - Constant Elevation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRtZukM0LLU grimey beats!
Mobb Deep - Shook Ones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP0wsET8__Y
bit newer but still good, A-Skills & Krafty Kuts - Tricka Technology http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HikdySt8FUo
RUN DMC - It's Tricky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C2b8XWJnfE
Bit older than 90's
GRANDMASTER FLASH - The message. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4o8TeqKhgY
THE SUGAR HILL GANG - Rappers Delight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-302Jp0bVQ&feature=related
Curtis Blow - The Breaks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFGDNGkev7M
That whole Nas album is fantastic
Ol Dirty - Brooklyn Zoo
Hippa to Da Hoppa
And if we are gonna start having non-90s hip-hop then how about this Sugar Hill - Jump On It (Apache)
ODB is the very definition of patchy, but "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" is awesome! Couldn't get into Nas, all that "I shot my way out my mom" nonsense. I don't mind music with no socially redeeming value whatsoever but it has to be a bit more upbeat than that.
Love The Beatnuts' first album, the production is amazing and the thugged-out lyrics make me laugh a lot.
Good stuff!
A link on page 1 reminded me of this...
"Follow the Leader" Eric B and George Clinton
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8z5nKdar9g][/url]
There's a funny/tragic video of ODB getting interviewed here obviously cracked up (or something) out of his mind - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX3ZPcA4tjQ&feature=related
Loved that Beatnuts album - some of their later stuff was good too like Off the Books.
my fav album of all time
I want to like Blade but he sounds like a complete humourless divvy. 
If we're talking UK hip hop, the zenith of the genre is surely MC Pitman. (NSFW)
Blade is actually a top bloke. Here we are larking 'bout after a gig. I'm the one at the back behind DJ Grazzhoppa.
if anyone's interested I have a 40 minute Wu Tang freestyle session from 1994 when they came to London for Radio 1. It's basically the whole recording session **** ups and arguments included, loadsa pissing about and Method Man getting wound up by the rest of em!
Some good beats and verses in their amongst the rest! if there's any demand I'l upload it to yousendit or similar.
Where to start????
How about
Kane, best rapper ever...
and then
This reminds me of an under 18 hip hop thing in Newcastle
what about:
EPMD anyone???
and:
Londons finest
