I got it ripped without incident, I'm feeling myself. As promised, here's a sip (first minute of the first track, so-so mp3 quality). If you guys think this compromises my position with the tape (because I do plan on eBaying it), please be b…

@Laserwolf and @Soulcitizen -- I really appreciate the knowledge. The Stiff/Demon connection makes a ton of sense! I will say, though, that the tracks on this tape seemed to have a different vibe from what little I've heard off of Lamont's 83 Demo…

Jungle Fire was the first uncommon record I ever turned up. I got it in a $50 box full of better-known titles -- it was one of the only joints I didn't recognize. I put it on, and, by the time "Got Myself a Good Man" hit, I was slack-jawed…

At a record convention, I heard a couple of people talking about a Toronto-area high school LP with funk and breaks on it. I've gone through around 10 LP's and I've only found one with jazz-funk on it. There's a break on it, too, but it woul…

double post might as well add my favourite shit in the last few years (Illmac v. Bigg K):

When Daylyt isn't up to bullshit (see: pooping on stage), dude is a fucking MONSTER of a writer.

Also, this track from the Mariangela album has an acid folk vibe:

I feel like Beverly Glenn-Copeland actually leans more towards jazz than psych, but people usually give her first release (on CBC) the "acid folk" tag. p.s., this is a great thread, but I wish there were also recommendations re: men who mad…

CBear said: Overall, I feel the Ghostface albums on the whole were pretty weak. I should clarify, the production was top notch, but the raps weren't my style, personally. I agree, and I'm a big fan of Ghost. His verses on the new B…

Horseleech said:tech12z said:I think the decline of sampling is a loss for culture at-large. How so? Wasn't the heyday of this close to 20 years? What would be gained by prolonging it? How long were the glory days of Funk, Hard Bop, Psy…

Hey DocMcCoy, I think we're on different wavelengths here (although I can see why my post came off the way it did). I don't really give a fuck about the "real hiphop" debate, and I don't think "real hiphop" is a definable thing. Yea, …

I think the decline in sampling is related to a bunch of intertwined factors: copyright issues and the fear-mongering surrounding legal risks (like OP said); technological change (like laserwolf said); the dominance of the ATL sound; the fact that k…

This is dope! Did anyone ever find out what "uber-rare and wanted" 45 was turned up by VinylStalker?!

My first impression after reading this was that it was a neat idea that would never actually catch on. Guess I was wrong:

Sounds waaay more polished than the typical amateur-hour stuff I usually hear on soundcloud. It's not really my musical taste, but I definitely can't front on your talent/skill, especially after just a year of doing it! Good shit, dude. If …

I've never made a beat before, so this might be fun(ny). I'm in, if I can learn how to make a beat in the next 15 days. Drums have to be from Cymande as well? Virtual instruments for pads or whatever? 808s?
