The latter, yeah, as for A Tribe Called Quest, they were bloody fantastic, I mean, they were almost unequaled in the late 80s-early 90s, and that says a lot, you had the great Native Tongues bands, Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, Black Sheep. The only ones that came close were Organized Konfusion and Gang Starr. Of course, 36 Chambers hit the scene in 93 and nothing was ever the same.

 

You listened to Organized Konfusion, Black Sheep, Gang Starr, Digable Planets or Guru's Jazzmatazz? I'd recommend those if you like Jazzy Rap.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Not heard the majority of those apart from some Gang Starr, Jungle Brothers and I actually used to own 2 De La Soul albums. I may actually check out a couple of those guys if you do recommend them.

Okay, I'll sample you, listen to this:

 

Wu-Tang Clan - The Mystery Of Chessboxing

Raekwon - Ice Cream

Jeru The Damaja - You Can't Stop The Prophet

Organized Konfusion - Stress

Nas feat. Pete Rock - The World Is Yours

Nas - One Love (Produced by Q-Tip, since we were talking A Tribe Called Quest)

Brotha Lynch Hung - RIP

Tupac - Life Goes On

Snoop (Doggy) Dogg - Who Am I

 

And, here's a taste of Chubb Rock, just for you,

 

Return Of The Crooklyn Dodgers

 

Chubb Rock, OC and Jeru The Damaja. Produced by DJ Premier.

 

 

Edit: Fixed the Organized Konfusion link.

@Kor: You have no idea how long I've been looking for any scrap of music from that Backbeat Band project. I heard of it two years ago, and have been checking record stores periodically whenever I remember. I don't even know if the soundtrack is for sale, but that hasn't stopped me. I mean, come on, who wouldn't be jonesing to hear an all-star band playing the Beatles when the Beatles were playing cover tunes.

 

If that wasn't enough, look at the lineup:

Greg Dulli: vocals

Dave Pirner: vocals

Thurston Moore: guitar

Don Fleming: guitar

Mike Mills: bass

Dave Grohl: drums

 

It totally delivers. Muchas gracias, mi amigo.

I used to have the OST on cassette. I have no clue what happened to it. From what I recall 'money' was the only song I really enjoyed, but I didn't give the rest of the album a fair shake, to be honest.

 

And you're welcome.

 

Pete Yorn - Just My Imagination ( Running Away With Me)

Genesis - Carpet Crawlers

Primal Scream - Come Together

 

I love the little guitar riff they add in during the last thirty seconds or so of the song.

 

edit: I see they also have a video from the 94' Reading Festival for Movin' On Up. I was in the crowd that night!

Woven Hand - Sparrow Falls

 

David Edwards singing about God, he does that a lot these days, you know, he's a wonderful singer, insane, but wonderful, I'd pay for him to preach me the Bible, and, honestly, I can't say that about too many people these days.

I am listening to Fearless's theme song and digging the video:

Wow. That was pretty cool. Was the flick any good Jules?

 

Bolc Party -

 

I came across a remix for banquet on youtube done by the Streets. I don't see what all the fuss is about that guy. Although he actually meets the singer from Bloc Party in the streets during the video. Weird.

I am listening to Fearless's theme song and digging the video:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Dude, check this out,

 

Fearless - Asian vs. European Fighting Styles

Seven Mary Three - Cumbersome

Ever sample any Dr. Dre, Bales?

 

Dr. Dre w/ Snoop Dogg - Deep Cover

I never liked fight for your right its so... obnoxious. yeah i know thats the point but it something about it seems off to me - most probably the early staccato rap of the 80's *shrugs*

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, that song definately lacks class.

Origa - Rise

 

Origa -

Was the flick any good Jules?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think you have seen pretty much all the best scenes already. The story and acting are not bad.

 

And I am listening to Last Samurai's soundtrack.

Dre's an absolutely brilliant producer, problem is, he can't rap, I think he's pretty much given up writing his own lyrics nowadays, still, the man's a living legend, as a producer he's up there with the RZA, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Prince Paul or Large Professor. He's said to be working on Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, that oughta be giving a few gents some late-night boners.

 

I do like The Chronic though.

 

Brave General, Brave King

Engelbert Humperdinck - Wonderland By Night

 

1967-76.

Bob Dylan - I Want You

Cage - Agent Orange

John Mayall - She's too young

 

Likin' it.

Some good links back there Baley, and some good music too, think I'll be checking out a few of those artists!

 

Mr. Lif--Return Of the B.Boy

(The) Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Holy Smoke!

 

Fast at passing judgment and you're quick to cast a stone

Hypocrite, talking ****, leave me alone

Thump the Book and twist the word

You're setting sinners straight

Point your finger, wag your tongue

Then pass around the plate

 

I've made my bed, that's where I'll lie,

Won't see those gates when I die

And I've been told I'll never learn,

I'm going down I'm gonna burn

Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Orchestra - Hat And Beard

John Mayall - She's too young

 

Likin' it.

 

John Mayall is awesome. You should try Turning Point, which is a live recording of his.

 

 

 

Genesis - More Fool Me

Edited August 1, 200619 yr by Pidesco

You

 

All I'm saying

Pretty Baby
