My crew is joining this: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/30/business/media/new-venture-seeks-higher-royalties-for-songwriters.html?_r=0 It's by far the most well thought out and elegant/likely to succeed solution to streaming on the performanc…

Bon Vivant said:I ride for the Meters. In both of their touring iterations ("Funky" vs. whole OG line up) I think this is my favorite currently active live band. I have seen them so many times that I have lost count. Shit is beyond uplifting a…

the_dL said: Saying the entire Roots discography is over rated is a pretty senseless blanket statement, if you dont like the Roots that's cool, but I have never seen any one really jock any of their albums as the be all and end all of hip hop. …

Not really a rap record but I kinda never got the fuss over D'Angelo's "Voodoo". Other than Devil's Pie it all sounded identical and structure-less. I like some songs in my r&b. But a ton of people who I think have good taste ride for this shit.

countmacula said:I'm confused about what "most over rated rap cover" means.... .but Midnight Marauders doesn't fit this category nor does Fear of a Black Planet. The Score , yes. The winner is: Snoop Dogg (1st album especially) I fe…

Oh and we have not even discussed the peculiar sub-species of college dudes who think "Stakes Is High" is a masterpiece. That shit makes me want to tear my ears off. It should be called "Brilliant Poets Choose Complaining Over Poetry" and it should …

The Score def wins the prize for Album That Dudes With Only A Passing Attachment To Rap Claim Is A Masterpiece. It caused my early exit from many dorm rooms and house parties. Everything the Roots ever put out post-"Do You Want More" was shit and I'…

The interviews on Unkut are some of the best knowledge that the internets contain on rap music (read the Silver Fox interview for just one truly outstanding example), but every time dude bigs up some modern day music or discusses current rap in any …

Illmatic, Doggystyle, Cuban Linx, all were at least 50% available before their release (shit Doo Wop had a tape where he basically played the WHOLE Doggystyle album). To me that doesn't/ didn't make any if them any less incredible. To hear them in c…

Many years and many raers later, this is still one of the best records I own. b/w It sounds like spring.

This dude is the b-boy's b-boy: raw rapper, great producer (sleigh bells!), and a great dj. His mix tapes were among the best in the game too. Great track selection and dope blends and cuts. I used to follow him around the Roosevelt and try and spy …

Never got what all the fuss was about.

Man, I think a ton of people on here only pretend to like hip hop. I can find absolutely nothing about this that should elicit anything other than pure joy.

9th Wonder is trrrrrrrash.

Paul C is like the default "insider" answer but he belongs in a different category of most influential engineers or mentors to producers. How about: Quik Dre Larry Smith QTip Neptunes Timbaland Rza Muggs Kanye Manny Fr…

I think the 300 copy thing is a tall tale. From a random sampling of people, I know too many who own the OG (myself included) to believe that there are only 300, also in my experience, no label (even one as shitty as Chemistry) would bother to press…

The older gods always told me that this record was to be avoided, a folly, a mess, whatever. One day O Dub and I took a very long trip out to that record store in a barn on City Island. I did not want to leave empty-handed and copped this on the str…

Jonny_Paycheck said:tripledouble said:one of my absolute favorite records. this is the first time im a little surprised that a record isnt higher up the list. i could have seen this being top ten. "Shoulda been number one to me" Yessir.

I love this album, I think it's a totally self-contained world and has so much repeat listening value. In general but not always it's also an awesome litmus test to suss out people who reflexively dismiss all "backpack rap."

This record blew/blows my mind like few things I've heard before or after. Also, this band, along with Slayer and Metallica, caused a whole bunch of kids I grew up with to completely abandon all other genres of music in much the same way that at som…

For me Can starts and ends with Future Days. Nothing wrong with the others per se, it's just that every time I would get to them in my shelves I would go "oh Can...I want to listen to Future Days." Sometimes a band just makes a record that burns its…
