I don't like the first video because I don't think the lyricist works with Nujabes. Not only that but Nujabes isn't hiphop. Super chill chill though [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUwRGPxCG_Y]Nujabes - Aruarian Dance - YouTube[/ame] Second, is alright but not really my style. Third, not my style.
Dude... you need to re-name this thread then. This is sophisticated, laid back hip hop (imo): [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IoPeNC4k_0[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg7E96VG7pk[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRsTDaSoFHM&playnext=1&list=PL457CD287C8D6D455]meyhem lauren - reality - YouTube[/ame] This samples Nightmares on Wax, an electronic band. Nujabes, however, was a hip hop producer/ dj. And a damn fine one at that. Here he is with CL [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2OLLYgocdA]Nujabes - Sky is Falling Featuring CL Smooth - YouTube[/ame] A classic: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiOcVWQY2bc]Pete Rock & C.

I'm going to listen to all of these tomorrow when I'm in a better mood. Thanks fadeddd and Cubic Cuban for contributing. +rep to both of ya. Later guys
Thanks man, definitely check out that Gang Starr he posted too (and other songs by them) if you're not already into them. Some of the greatest shit out there in my opinion. And check out some different Black Star songs if you weren't feeling that one, it's kind of different.
