I used to dismiss all the music labeled as rap or hip hop. Guitar driven music was all I was interested in, I thought it was the only 'real' music.

Lately I've been listening to Jay-Z's The Blueprint, Kanye's Late Registration and M.I.A's Kala. I love those albums. It's brilliant music. Lyrics aren't just about pimps and ho's and murders and bling bling. Funk, Soul and even rock music are big influences in these guys.

I know this forum's not the best place to even ask about it, but what should I get next?

+k for that, mogly.

it all depends on your tastes. if you're more into the "band" aspects, i suggest you get "the roots come alive." it's a live album by the roots, the best hip-hop band out there. i would also suggest common's "be," anything by public enemy and dr. dre's "the chronic" and "2001." happy listening!

Absolutely love MIA. She has a flair for musical invention that most of today's guitar bands can only dream of, or can't be bothered to try. Not bowled over by many other 'new' acts but 80s US stuff like De La Soul, Public Enemy and NWA is amazing. Have you checked out 'It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back'? Incredible album.

If you're into Jay-Z 'The Black Album' is definitely one to get, also have a listen to 'The Grey Album', Danger Mouse's combo of that and 'The White Album', good stuff.

Excellent thread. Been listening to bits of Mos Def's new album, The Estatic, lately. That and I got Madvilliany by Madvillian on the back burner for some time, I gotta give it a listen!

If you guys like MIA, check out Sleigh Bells. Their debut is out in May under MIA's label and tunes we have so far are brilliant sounding. I heard they got a huge crowd at Coachella this year!

Forget about Kanye West and Jay Z and all that lightweight radio friendly hip-hop.

Get into Wu-Tang Clan for the best beats and rhymes.

Start at the beginning with Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers....

Then go for Wu-Tang Forever, Raekwon's Only Built for Cuban Linx, GZA's Liquid Swords and Ghostface's Iron Man.

That is just a starting place, there's so much Wu-Tang stuff to discover (admitedly, they have stretched themselves thin at points.)

This. 36 Chambers and Liquids Swords in particular are masterpieces. I wouldn't underestimate ODB either.

Well that's just bullshit. Reasonable Doubt is up there with Ready To Die and Illmatic in the holy trinity of mid 90s NY albums.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5
