Best Era of Hip Hop

[K Douglas]

Love the Hip-Hop/R&B fusion. I believe it's called Neo-Soul. I can't get enough it!

No Neo-Soul is a completely different sound. Think Maxwell, D'Angelo, Jill Scott, Macy Gray etc..

 

[Gyaos]

Will Smith is a terrorist?

I knew this would bend you back to TERB, like my original "All rappers are terrorists thread". LOL Where's your signature picture, DB?
Yes, Will Smith is a terrorist.....like in "Enemy of the State" with Gene Hackman. LOL.

So I've been reading your posts for a while Gyaos, and I can't decide whether you're a) a complete retard b) a terrible, worthless human being or c) you're actually not retarded or terrible, but you just have an awful sense of humour
While there's some evidence for c), I'm going to stick to mostly a) you're a complete retard, with a bit of b) you're a terrible human being thrown into the mix
Pushing the ignore button on your posts and fervantly hope that all TERBites do the same

My views on hip hop

Now Hip Hop is as much as a Art form as the picture that hangs on your wall to the car you drive to clothes you wear.

If you look pass the whole image thug life mentality there is message behind the music.

I started listen to Hip Hop way back when Grandmaster Flash came out to Mantronic, Just Ice, NWA and so on just to name a few.

If I am not mistaken the first actual rap that was recorded was by the Artist Blondie The Rapture, it does have that four four rhyme scheme to it which is a key element for getting the flow of a rap.

I own this song on vinyl. It's nostalgic and it was culturally significant since it was an early recording of hip hop and one of the first commerically successful hip hop tunes.

For me, knowing this doesn't change the fact that it was a novelty based off a funky disco bassline (Chic's "Goodtimes" song). Today it sounds fickle and dated. Ditto for Grandmaster Flash's 'The Message'. The words ring true, but the music is pretty cheesy.

There are no hip-hop equivalents to Bob Marley, John Lennon, and so forth because while it's an art, it's not of the same calibre as good traditional music.

It takes something special - more creativity and more talent, to create something like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upaqXW3qS-g or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiFYOn1AFms
than any hip-hop song.

First off Hip Hop is not rap , a hip hop song may have a rap elements in it, but it's not rap. All Hip Hop is is POP music.

I would say Hip Hop is to Rap what Disco was to Rock in the 70'S.

LOL! I must bring everyone back to reality and say again that ALL WRAPPERS ARE TERRORISTS! They speak spew to intimdate, to threaten and to cause pain for a political gain of quick power and profit, same as a terrorist, trying to bypass education and the endorsement of getting one. They endorse robberies and the killing of innocents and protectors of the law. They are terrorists. Their purpose, and only purpose, is to incite fear. Same as terrorists. And my original thread from 2005 is here:

https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=101379&highlight=Rappers+terrorists

So you can add your comments there. Hip-hop is just a bogus word for a form of music that acts as an endorsement for an organized crime business model. People like Snoop Doggy Dog, Jay-Z, and other shithead names should NEVER be given money because they have no education, fund terrorists with it and cause trouble. Live Nation is a criminal organization (even Madonna signed with them, but she will give them shit). Then they go and claim they are constitutionally protected. Sorry, they bring guns to airports, rape women and involve themselves in the drug trade.

THAT is what the rap/hip-hop music industry is. It started off good in the 80`s, then the pigs RUN-DMC came out and caused trouble, looking like they never took showers, never got an education and glorified poverty. They claim it is a "reflection of the reality among us", but they are actually stealing cash and keeping poverty they way it is. Then some dickhead puts them in the "Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame", hopefully next to the men`s room, `cuz if I ever go there, I have to take a piss.

Your all-encompassing definition of hip-hop, is not hip-hop, and Lou Rawls most certainly isn't hip-hop. If that's hip-hop than anything is hip-hop.

One of my most cherished songs is Sam Cooke featuring Lou Rawls:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAQE-tHjPAc

This Jamaican tune posted kind of combines an early form of Rap with an upbeat Reggae flavor that could be viewed as an early Hip Hop variant.
Harry Belafonte & Nat King Cole

Carribean, sure. Reggae? Not in the least.

This is hip-hop and this song is fucking hilarious:
