  • Nice thread! Amplification: NAD 3020 Original Series 20 Vinyl source: Thorens TD 150 Speakers: Acoustic Research AR 18 Alternatives would include: Marantz 1060 instead of the NAD amplifier, a Rega Planar 3 instead of the Thore…
  • I'm South African, though not of the generation or 'race' of the key interviewees in the documentary. These are my thoughts, originally posted in a different forum: After putting off watching this documentary film, I went to see it last night…
  • Guillotine (Swordz) - Raekwon Shadowboxn - The GZA Faster Blade - Ghostface Killah (it's really a Raekwon solo though) Brooklyn Zoo - Ol Dirty Bastard R.E.C. Room - Inspectah Deck And with that, I throw your brain in a cobra clut…
  • Boogie Down Productions - By All Means Necessary. It's kind of a spoken-word joint, so I am not sure if it counts.
  • spelunk said:Finished this last week and wanted to revive this thread. Charnas pushes a view that corporations co-opting hip-hop music and culture is the validation, the signal that says "we've made it!" The view that the path towards success…
  • This album is so mixed in terms of quality. There's stuff I REALLY like on it, and stuff that makes me want to hurl. And I think this album is quite typical of Soulquarians and post-Soulquarians stuff (e.g. Voodoo, Phrenology, Electric Circus…
  • Haven't listened to either album in years. Obviously representative of ATCQ's decline. But there are a couple of jams on both albums I still like... BRL: Get A Hold, Word Play TLM: Find A Way, Like It Like That This thread actually …
  • Mabu Vinyl has moved. It used to be located at the intersection where Long Street meets Kloof St. It can now be found just off Kloof Street on Rheede Street. Happy digging.
  • Sorry, I'd like to help but I'm too busy rakin' in the dough here at my job.

  • commie terrorist mandela I think you were looking for the letters which would spell 'reconciliator and unifer'. PEACE G
  • [quote a ceremony with family and friends, at which we will be committing to each other as 'life partners'. sounds cheaper than a wedding? I wish! I actually think it's going to clock in at about the same cost as a small-gathering wedding (50 pee…
  • I don't think you could miss with browse through Stevie Wonder's catalouge. that's funny, cuase i'm doing the same thign as the poster, and for a second we considered making our own stevie wonder's greatest hits to hand out. if you only put on 1 s…
  • Someone needs to do it. It sounds like there's a whole load of interesting Britcore stuff out there, and someone needs to come through the crap and compile the gems into a neat compilation for the uninitiated. G'
  • I really thought he sounded more at ease on the microphone once he shed the Q-Tip'isms which plagued his My Field Trip...
  • doesn't PP apologise for this flaw in the liner notes? I scanned the liner notes, looking for c(l)ues to this effect, and couldn't find any. Anyway, the recordings generally sound fine - there are just those two 'glitches'. Admittedly I picked…
  • Alien NDN has this album PM him What's his full username? Alien_NDN? Holla back...
  • THIS SAID - if I had put the same book together in the summer of 2005, things would be much different, simply in reflection of the tenor of the times. Cannibal Ox wouldn't have made my 2005 cut. Neither would have Black Star. Even just three years …
  • It's funny that you brought this point up, because this thought hit me as my boy played me Little Brother's new album last night. The thought occurred to me that they make good songs, but not good albums. Maybe this is personal preference, but t…
  • I hear ya. I noticed a trend in the mid-to-late 90s in which artists - rappers in particular - were dropping 70-80 minute albums. And, as was noted earlier, these albums weren't always well structured/sequenced. Personally, I find overly lengthy al…
  • I've scoured the web for references to Don, and it would seem he has found Jesus, so he no longer rhymes though he still makes beats. On another note, I always thought his verse on Ultra's Raise It Up sounded like something Pharoahe Monch would do.…
  • "Properties of Steel" "Big Kat/ Do You Know" "Fame/ Da Bomb Baby" The BQE EP on Hydra yea I'm a bit let down by "Diabolique" as well...not too many strong cuts on it Properties Of Steel, Big Katz and Burn (from that BQE EP) all appear on Diab…
  • Hmmm, my copy also has the gold border. I suspect the cover with Showbiz & AG in big lettering is the rarer first pressing. Of course, I can't say this with any certaint, but hopefully someone else could clear this up. PEACE Goblah
  • Those two albums are like cousins. It's definitely a better effort than Keith Murray's debut. Goblah

  • Some of my favourite records from Rawkus include: Fortified Live, Definition, My Crown (Black Attack), Universal Magnetic, Fire In Which You Burn, Krazy Kings, Mayor (Pharoahe Monch), 1-9-9-9. PEACE Goblah
  • You need to get Da King and I - 'Contemporary Jeep Music'. Yeah, I actually have this, too. And, I agree, it is tight. It's one of those that I am not so salty about picking up on recommendation from someone else. I also have the CD single for 'F…
  • The real question is why are you collecting obscure hip-hop if you know nothing about the genre? Are you familiar with the basics, ie Native Tongue, Sugar Hill, Enjoy, EPMD, etc? For sure. I already am familiar with, or have, these. See, I con…
  • I am GOBLAH, I be SOUTH AFRICAN. Twenty-nine years of age. I collect rap CDs rather than vinyl, so I'm probably already in your bad books. G
