It was stanfree. Was lucky enough to go to this when I was 20. Most electric atmosphere at a gig I ever attended. Still have the ticket stub £17.50.
Lucky guy athgray , Ive mates that were there . For me they were the greatest , Part punk rich boys but without them we might have not had Public Enemy. Only Bowies passing affected me more than MCA. Those guys were awesome.
Already been mentioned a couple of times, but can't get too much of Pip - first one probably NSFW).

Always had a soft spot for this too (doesn't hurt that it features THE absolute best voice in pop ever).

For those that like hip hop and anime
Also thought of this,
Some great stuff here inc. the High Focus stuff. e.g. Ed Scissor, Dabbla too.
I still love this tune:
Spend a far chunk of this week listening to Doom and his various personas...

Legendary
can't believe these two albums are getting on for 15 years old, still can't get enough of the beats on these two tracks
I know it's will smith, but it is a great chill out song

@retro83 they are two classics, I wish skinnyman would release a new album.
Both of these guys have been floating around the UK hip hop scene for ages, but I love this old-skool-ness:
And taking it back to 1995:
Another UK veteran still ripping it up
When I'm tired of listening to this record, I'll be tired of life.

One of the most irritating songs ever! Hate everything about it.
This is my sort of mellow/chill hip hop
New Busdriver. Still trying to get over the jazzyness of it, but the album is cool
Wonderful Flying Lotus video with superb bit of Kendrick Lamarr
My big mix from last year is still on mixcloud - https://www.mixcloud.com/dezb99/big-mix-the-state-of-hip-hop/
Big fan of some of the UK female MCs at the moment
Also listening to a lot of High Focus stuff at the moment, The Four Owls in particular.
Two old favourites, Task Force and Braintax.
New Doom
Theres a distinct lack of 90s West Country hip hop acts rapping about pirates and whales on this thread
Not necessarily my favourite, but I'd like it not to be forgotten:
Which takes me back to:
Remember seeing them at the Cambridge Junction, supporting Therapy?
Krafty Kuts and A.Skillz at Secret Garden Party was probably the best set I have ever heard.
Old, but utter hip hop jazz-funk filth. Over 40 obscenities in there. You have been warned.
Not a genre I've dabbled in much, but I think I recall this one from my clubbing days from Ikon down in Southampton, not long after it opened in '97.
Does this below classic count?
Some older stuff and some newer stuff. And one for qtip. Love the rhythms in that one!
Need to listen to the rest of the thread now! Cheers all, cheers qtip!
