* 3-6 make video game beats. That's their secret. Subtract the drums and the bass and tell me I'm lying. 16-bit RPGs and action-adventure titles, to be specific. The shit would fit in Chrono Trigger or Legend of Zelda and you cannot convince me otherwise.

* Has the Wire improved fake gangsters' depictions of the thug life?

* Speaking of which, I have a great idea for a b-more club track. If only I knew how to make beats.

* Why is G Rap so slept on? He's more active than many of his contemporaries, yet even Biz Markie and Masta Ace get more love than him.

* What happened to Tonedeff? Anyone have his Champions freestyle?

* Ditto for Young Chris. Imagine how boring Jay-Z would've gotten if not for State Property

* Does anyone know rapping better than Project Blowed?

Give an example of a track like this? I have never thought about their beats that way.

Agreed on Kool G Rap. He needs to be up there on the KRS1, Slick Rick, and Rakim respect levels in the game if you ask me.

 

[linx]

I don't know. G Rap seems to get a good deal of respect from most people. Then there's the other idiots who look at him as just an "old rapper". But to anyone who knows what they're talking about, G Rap is a legend. He's one of the best rappers ever.

I got that Tonedeff freestyle if you want it. I've listened to him for a long time now. Although I don't keep up with him any more. Haven't for a while.

G Rap is in my Top 5 Dead Or Alive and has been for many years. You can't fuck with him.

 

[Chronic]

You can't fuck with him.

Not when Jinx is in the building, no.

best video game beat i ever heard is jim ones "on my way up" from his first album. as soon as i heard it it reminded me of that one level on either sonic 2 or 3.. the last level on the plane. in fact, those sega megadrive sonic games were packed with sick beats from what i remember.

that's because the music was secretly done by Michael Jackson. Watch this:

Throw in Kane and that's my top 5 from the golden age of hip-hop :thumb:

 

[ImmortalTech]

I think G Rap gets quite a bit of respect.. Atleast from the more mature heads out there. I see what ur saying with Ace, but he's also quite active. As far as Biz Markie is concerned, I havent even heard his name for a minute now.

peace

speaking of obscure random thoughts...

did anybody else find kid capri's "the tape" to be an outstanding hip hop album? i wonder if he got clowned cause he supposed to be a dj. that dude should do an other album.

"billieee!" that alb was really different

yah and add up BDK for mi also. he's not rakim, but he was great. i liked his part on tony touch "50 mc's"

if anybody got either those two albs, please post. thanks.

Yeah, totally. Hood Star is straight out of after-plot-twist-happy-refreshing tune off Chrono Trigger.
