I actually found this track on accident on youtube when searching for Kool G Rap, KRS-One, Rass Kass and Kool G Rap on one track just had to be good, and I was right if you ask me!
White Shadow feat. KRS-One, Ras Kass, Joell Ortiz & Kool G Rap - Underground
Common, the one I wanted to posted about today. I posted something about him before. In my opinion, Common is really a MC who raps about what he thinks/feels, I'd categorize him as Conscious hip-hop.
Common - I Used To Love H.E.R
This is one of my favorites by Common, the storytelling etc. is just perfectCommon - Sum Shit I Wrote
Common - Ressurection
Now a bit from Talib Kweli. I already wrote about him being in Blackstar with Mos Def. Here are some nice tracks by him:
Talib Kweli - Joy Ft Mos Def - Quality
Talib Kweli - Get By
Not many remixes manage to almost outrise the original in quality, but this one certainly did!Talib Kweli - Get By (Remix) Ft. Mos Def, Jay-Z, Kanye West, & Busta Rhymes
To be honest, I'm not even a big fan of Kanye and late years Jay-Z but on this track they are spitting pure gold lines!
Nice blog man
BeantwoordenVerwijderengreat artists, love Talib and Common.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGreat posts! Listening to Common right now...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhy don't you like Kanye or late Jay-Z?
BeantwoordenVerwijderennice style and flow :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIsn't White Shadow a name of a pub in Seattle?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAnyway I listened to Talib before and i like him.
I remember KRS-One from his cameo in Radio Song by REM!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSolid blog, I really like the layout and background
BeantwoordenVerwijderenlove me some common
BeantwoordenVerwijderen@ Hiphop Rising
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis of course is strictly personal, but I've got the feeling Kanye and Jay-Z are there for the money, Kanye using ALOT of autotune (which I don't consider hip-hop) and Jay-Z going all with that commercial music. I personally just don't like it. For me they are too mainstream/hip-pop, just not my thing.
Jay-Z used to be great tho, Reasonable Doubt was a great album, Kanye put out some ill tracks too but just lately they've too much on that mainstream for me
sum shit i wrote = great jam, thanks first time i heard that one
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThese MCs know how to bring it!
BeantwoordenVerwijderen@stibbz
BeantwoordenVerwijderentotally agree with you there, not making a track because they like it but because they think it will sell...
@Bradp13
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for the compliment! I was actually thinking of starting new messages with the main artists as title so it would be easier to see what's in the post and what's been in posts.
Talib is the shit.
