The Music Thread

[J@3]

Lol I'm still getting over the shame of buying the new Star Wars game in public. It'll be a while before I can work up enough street-cred to be seen buying rap cd's

Oh since your around Jae, RAP THREAD KICKS ROCK THREAD'S ASS!

[Tuomas]

I'm hooked on The Score right now. Fu-Gee-La is the shit.

that's a good album

I'm stuck with Redman and Def Squad

[Matt]

i just discovered that i have dead prez- RBG on my comp....very nice indeed

[SkipToMy_Lou]

If you don't already have Let's Get Free then get that, imo a lot better then RBG...

[Colin]

I have a retail copy of Let's Get Free, very good indeed. Although sometimes I feel riduculous being a white kid listening to their messge.

[The X]

Oh since your around Jae, RAP THREAD KICKS ROCK THREAD'S ASS!

you would expect that in a bball forum....

but now that we're on to it, when is NBA Live gonna get rid of the rap and give us some rock in the game?!? I already know the answer so no need to answer it

but I'll give a contribution to this thread, go NZ hip hop and Scribe

[Tuomas]

but now that we're on to it, when is NBA Live gonna get rid of the rap and give us some rock in the game?!?

when that day comes I will turn the music off or do everything to import my own music. In my opinion rock goes better with ice hockey

[J@3]

Maybe so, but the rap they have in NBA Live sounds absolutely horrific. If it was decent rap I could tolerate it, but it's shit.

[Dramacydal]

^haha, so true. i turned that ea sports jukebox off about half an hour after installing the game. i usually have windows media player opened in the background.

[Dogg]

anoyone has DJ BABU - Duck Season mixtape's ? i jsut got vol 1 and vol 2 and i must say, they are goodies

[Tuomas]

I've heard that they're good but don't have them

dogg your username messes the forum layout

[Ataraxia]

Yea, not too bad.

I'm hooked on The Score right now. Fu-Gee-La is the shit.

So sad the Fugees split up, they were so unique and definitely one of the best groups ever.

Also whats happend to Wyclef?, his own stuff was pretty good but now hes gone missing and even Lauryn Hill's disappeared. Pras wasnt very good but he did add the third voice to the Fugees and it helped alot in making their songs sound great.

I hope the Fugees get back together although its highly unlikely, their a gift to the world of music.

Lauryn Hill's redone version of Bob Marley's Turn Your Lights Down was the last I heard outta her.

By the way I strongly recommend the purchase of Wyclef's 'The Carnival' Album.

[iG®]

You guys like Senegalian sensation,Akon?

[Matt]

I hope the Fugees get back together although its highly unlikely, their a gift to the world of music.

i think they are working on a 3rd album

[Filip]

Yeah, I still enjoy the Score album and I hardly don't listen to rap music anymore.
It's a really good album that everyone should own.

[Ataraxia]

You guys like Senegalian sensation,Akon?

Akon's pretty good from what Ive heard so far of his(only Locked UP & Lonely)....hes very humble...not flashy like Usher, Ginuwine or Jagged Edge etc...hes kinda similar to Musiq in terms of style.

Locked Up is a pretty good track....Styles P tears it up pretty well on the track...but I hate that violin beat u get when they sing the chorus...but love the beat that goes on in the verses....

Lonely is a nice track too....for some reason I like that chipmunk like voice...its even more screechier than the Kanye West - Through The Wire Chipmunk but it goes well with the track.

Matt, I dont think the Fugees are comin back....they kinda broke up cause of problems between em and I dont think their the type of ppl that make up stories for the media like Gorilla Cent and The Dame did.....but if they are its going to be awesome Im sure

Well its underground because they won't be seen on top 30 countdown or whatever, and there themes and sound of the music is a lot different then the mainstream rap.

Underground Music = Artist/s that release albums via recording studios without being signed upto a label....They record music in studios just like every rapper but they dont belong to a record label so hence their albums are not available in cd shops and only passed on via underground dealers/sellers and its likely theirs only a few copies out there and normally the artist himself would hand it out to his friends etc.

Just because it doesnt make it to the Top 100 of a chart or sounds different doesnt make it underground rap.

Everyone who you see on videos and signed upto some sorta record company may it be Warrior Records or Warner Bros Records is a "commercial" artist/rapper.

Its the same with every other music genre...although Im yet to here of underground pop bands...

[SkipToMy_Lou]

Except even rappers that are signed to labels are still classed as underground MC's eg Aesop Rock, Murs, Aceyalone...

Because there style and lyrical content is WAY different to what mainsteam rappers would rap about

[Matt]

True.....underground rappers are also considered those signed to independent labels.

Akon's pretty good from what Ive heard so far of his(only Locked UP & Lonely)....hes very humble...not flashy like Usher, Ginuwine or Jagged Edge etc...hes kinda similar to Musiq in terms of style.

i've heard the whole CD...it's pretty good, but i got bored of it quick. Akon got nothing on Ginuwine though

Lonely is a nice track too....for some reason I like that chipmunk like voice...its even more screechier than the Kanye West - Through The Wire Chipmunk but it goes well with the track

i take it you like sped up soul samples? personally i don't like them. They sound kinda gay

[Ataraxia]

their not Underground MC's...I guess u could call em Underground Rap...but their not Underground Rappers thats a whole different thing altogether.

I dont like Ginuwine hes a bit annoying....that song Sex is awful it sounds like a Britney Spears song.

Yeah I dunno....for some reason that voice is kinda nice....I know alotta ppl hate it though.

btw do u guys like Jamaican/Rasta rap?....u know guys like Jamaican and Apache Indian(he sucks though)....its pretty nice...I think The Fugees would classify into that rap style aswell maybe with slight variation...I think its called Raggae(Rap+Reggae).

[Old School Fool]

I don't think you can call Aceyalone underground...he's on some ESPN2K5 Games.

Oh yeah, NBA Live had Rock in their games, you just never realized it, especially in 96.

[The GOAT]

What's a good Big L song with a nice beat? My friend thinks he sucks just cuz e's never heard of him, and he's never even listened to him yet. I wanna give him a good song so he sees that L is better than Shiddy Cent. I'm thinkin Ebonics or Holdin it Down?

[Matt]

dunno....i like Flamboyant

I'm listening to Z-Ro- Life.....very nice album

anyone out there got these Face songs, i really need them to complete my Scarface- My Homies Disc 2....k, im in need of "Greed", "Who Run This", "Menace Niggas Never Die"....that's all
