1993

90's Hip Hop

Ok... 1992 is a hard one because there are so many to choose from. 'The Chronic' came out in '92, The Pharcyde's 'Passin Me By'.... Gang Starr's 'Daily Operation' came out (but I already posted Gang Starr).... Das EFX...EPMD.... so ultimately I choose this one... "YEAH!!!....and you don't stop, Cause its 187 on a undercover cop".
Enjoy!!!

QUOTE OF THE DAY!

Ok.... So I've been reading Russell Simmons book 'Do You'. And it's pretty interesting. Russell Simmons inpires me because he helped give hip hop it's stamp in music. This quote from his book describes exactly why I continue to never give up on my dreams.

"The very first time I heard hip-hop, I knew my life would never be the same. I knew that I had found a better avenue to express myself and pursue a better relationship with the world. In hip-hop's powerful beats and rhymes, I heard the truth. I heard it loudly. I could never really rap myself, so that love affair led me to promoting artist who could...." - Russell Simmons

90's Hip Hop - A Decade of Sharpness - Part 1

So I've decided to incorporate something regular on my blog... A tribute (if you will).. to the 90's Hip Hop era... when hip hop was truely great... an era I miss.. While there is still some good hip hop music today... it seems as though we have to dig deeper to find it... the 90's was an era when lyrics meant something, when rappers actually talked about something substantial... So lets start with 1990...

Don't You Hate That??

I'm always intrigued when I figure out that a hip-hop beat was sampled from an old song. Like when D-Dot sampled 'Let Your Hair Down' by Yvonne Fair for Jay'Z 'Where I'm From'... But I really hate when this happens....



Come On Diddy... Singin? ... Now if you had rhymes sharper than Jay (especially on this track) you'd get a pass... but you just made me sick to my stomach with this!!

RIP Saigon's Mom

The beat on this track is HOTTT!!!
