[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. Nope

Unfortunately that is very real

[DS1]

7. I'm posting this to ask what song this is

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k3Jq_3EIIs

someone emailed me this awhile ago, and I'd always thought BIG was pampered up 'diddy style' radio crap

If there's more of that from BIG, I'd definitely give it a listen

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. If you like aggressive hip hop then there is no better than Biggie

12. That's "Come On"

It was on one of the Tupac-esque CD's that came out years after he died that relied mostly on never released material and collaborations.

[datasuspect]

14. "i wouldn't be the G that i am

if i didn't pop muthafuckas in they mouf, GOT-damn!"





i know it's cartoonish, but this popularized depiction of modern LA gangbanging appeals to me for some reason. i like to imagine snoop bustin out like that on two or three little bitch ass hoes in the streets being all true to the game and shit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff9eIpeS-Xw

Some love from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrcWVCdyalU">Talib Kweli...

My personal favorite from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEPF2CNYkfk">Wu-Tang Clan...

This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPwkHtul62o">Beatnuts track always makes me want to get fucked up for some reason...

I've always loved the shit out of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5VTW92LaZc">DJ Quik's voice and flow...

...and no hip-hop list would be complete without http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxqUHp4YFL4">Gang Starr. Hell, he deserves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXyFZkU9bkQ">another.

[ghostsofgiants]

But I love me some Wu and Isaac Hayes on: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ewaBC4VG6k4

"I can't go to sleep, I can't shut my eyes
They shot the father of his moms, killed him seven times
They shot Malcolm in the chest front of his little seeds
Jesse watched, as they shot King on the balcony
They spat at Marcus, Garvey cause he tried to spark us
with the knowledge of ourselves, and our forefathers
Ohh Jacqueline you heard the rifle shots cracklin
Her husband head in her hair, you tried to put it back in
AMERICA'S WATCHIN, BLOOD STAINED INK BLOTCHES
MEDGAR TOOK ONE TO THE SKULL FOR INTERGRATING COLLEGE
WHAT'S THE SCIENCE? SOMEBODY? THIS IS TRICK KNOWLEDGE
THEY TRY TO KEEP US ENSLAVED AND STILL SCRAPE FOR DOLLARS"

[ghostsofgiants]

57. I love that song.

[flvegan]

54. "Shadrach" by the Beastie Boys

Why? First, the song is awesome.

Secondly, the live rendition in this video was shot with 4 cameras (stage and in the crowd, including one encosed in a plastic ball and "crowd surfed" around). Those shots were then taken down to individual cells, and a hand painting was done of each one, shot and strung together to make this video.

Very cool.
