So I like to listen to playlists, rather than just random shit, and I've already exhausted the ones I've got. I'm seeking some hip-hop heads who know some good shit. So post up some tracks and if I don't have em already (good chance I do) I'll download a nice quality version. Tryin to make this one a bunch of late 90's/early 2000 New York shit..that real grimy sound. You either know or you don't, post if you do. Once it get's big enough, maybe we all share it, eh? Let's make this shit raw..I'll throw some shit up in a min.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA7DvbWy7bs"]YouTube - Big Pun feat. Fat Joe - Twins Deep Cover[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJpat9V-YJY"]YouTube - Blackout DMX feat Jay-Z L.O.X.[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNAkZF3him0"]YouTube - big l - The Enemy (Ft. Fat Joe) - The Big Picture[/ame] Get it?
ESPECIALLY Shit like this: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciGN8nBWkRY]YouTube - Onyx - Last Dayz[/ame]
basically anything off big l or gza's first cd's (lifestyles of broke and dangerous and liquid swords) big l - da graveyard big l - put it on big l - ebonics mobb deep - shook ones pt 2 dead prez - hip hop gza - investigative reports gza - fame (great concept song) raekwon ft nas - verbal intercouse jay-z ft notorious b.i.g - brooklyn's finest jay-z - feelin it big daddy kane - set it off big daddy kane - raw ghostface killah - wu gambinos eric b and rakim - i ain't no joke rakim - it's been a long time
Oh no doubt I got the Wu shit on lock. I just don't know as much Fat Joe / TS / Pun / Ruff Ryders (LOX, DMX), etc.. Preciate it tho. Wu Gambinos is fucking hard.
gotta have Mobb Deep on there the entire Infamous album has that grimey NY sound u looking for [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN4muAg7lOU]YouTube - Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt. 2 - The Infamous[/ame]
This track by NYC's Word a' Mouth is gritty, grimey, sick, nasty...and in my opinion one of the best least known tracks out there! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYqwRY-Q5c0]YouTube - Famous Last Words - Word A' Mouth[/ame]
Oh, no doubt some Mobb on there. floatn, that track is pretty good. Kinda dark sound, reminds me of Gravediggaz..
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9bS1dE0ps8]YouTube - "Intergalactic"[/ame] Beastie Boys can get it in. everyone was givin a different type of east coast HC But ill lay it down with BB
Preciate all the contributions. All good songs posted, but try and understand the desired feel I'm going for. I NEED that quintessential New York sound..I don't know how else to describe it other than gritty. For example: Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt is no doubt one of my all time favorite albums. 'Feelin it', however, (while a great track) doesn't really fit my theme here. I'm looking as much for the production value as well as the lyrical content. (Same can be said for Intergalactic. Good song, but not quite what I'm looking for.) Forreal tho, preciate all the suggestions guys, keep 'em comin! Ima post up a list of what I've got so far in a sec..
That's more like it! Here's what I've got: Thoughts so far? More suggestions welcome, of course. I need more tracks like the DMX one.
Dose it have to be from NYC, or can it just have that gritty vibe? (you speaking my language now, that grimmy shit is my shit) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qe0y0ADVlQ]YouTube - Buc Fifty - Boy's About To Flip[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBEA7PZQKbA]YouTube - Buc Fifty - Dead End Street[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mScVMVYKpoA]YouTube - Mobb Deep & Rakim - Hoodlum[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGleOI2uZFY]YouTube - HAVOC - Get OFF My DICK[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WztlOFoKURo]YouTube - Mobb Deep - Carved In Stone[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE5GkgKYZG4]YouTube - Mobb Deep-Got It Twisted[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh-MUDdN0kQ]YouTube - Styles P & Alchemist- Calmly Smoke[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVk9zPpS7co]YouTube - Cormega - Get Out My Way[/ame] this ones dope after a blunt and a port (cus you think the beats going one way and then it goes the other way) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eypWGevTjTY]YouTube - Cormega - Verbal Graffiti[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw2391wrHcg]YouTube - Cormega - The Legacy[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD8cySuZbaU]YouTube - Prodigy Ft Big Noyd - Gun Play[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JeLl9pZR9E]YouTube - milkbone - keep it real[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGYmMjTSxxE]YouTube - WU TANG and ONYX - the worst[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLwZpFn_YCg]YouTube - Alchemist & Prodigy Keep Your Heels On[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjxLdsr1hO8]YouTube - Tick Tock - Alchemist feat Nas & Prodigy[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcQ7hEG6p0E]YouTube - Big Noyd - Shoot Em Up (Bang Bang) Part 1[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AknZHNFJqn0]YouTube - Max B & Mak Mustard "Dopeman" :: Dopeman (PD 6.5) Amalgam Digital[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFb4pNhjPEA]YouTube - DJ Premier - Too Complete [L The Head Toucha][/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ra3enj8zhQ]YouTube - Company flow- 8 steps to perfection[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfFhIblbANo]YouTube - 7L & Esoteric - Be alert[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36cHdxkIMW8]YouTube - Swollen Members - Front Street[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk6-rbrKD0U]YouTube - D.I.T.C. - Stand Strong[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmtBh1R8SGM]YouTube - Jemini the Gifted One - Brooklyn Kids[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbBvoom1ZQY]YouTube - D.I.T.C - All Love[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDJCQAHeF3Q]YouTube - High and Mighty Ft Mos Def & Skillz - B- boy document '99[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esrd4F74HS4]YouTube - alchemist feat mobb deep - it's a craze[/ame] this is flow defined right here-RAw - the natural [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZmwW7kaq8Q]YouTube - Mic Geronimo -The Natural[/ame] beats hard as fuck [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keFUvI0Uxu0]YouTube - Fat Joe Da Gangsta-"Flow Joe" 93'[/ame] GRITTY [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM8lt8dQemM]YouTube - INSPECTAH DECK - HYPERDERMIX[/ame] they might not all be from NYC or between 90-99 but there all gritty CHECK CEHCK THE BANGIN sounds that I invent - check em out
