waltz Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Anybody else listened to the new Beans album? Pretty impressive list of producers (Four Tet, Clark, Tobacco) but it's a bit hit or miss for me. The track with the drummer from Interpol is probably my favourite.It's streaming here.Beans is goooood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Just gave the Beans album a listen and enjoyed it. I'll definitely give it at least a few more plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 i'm not really sure what to post in this thread. content so far seems to be modern rap, from the DJ's perspective hip hop is getting far more progressive, is all of the LA and Glasgow beat scene relevent to this thread? what about older tracks? 'the hip hop thread' is a little bit vague. why dont we start a 'punk thread' as well?It's okay. We get it. You like hip-hop loads more than us, and you know much more about it.

You like hip-hop loads more than us, and you know much more about it.sorry internet tough guy, but try reading what i posted again. 'hip hop' is not strictly a straight term to describe a singular genre of music, like 'bossa nova' or 'folk rock'. people are banding a term about that could mean any of the things i mentioned - so why must you have a pop at me for wanting to clarify, and yes, hoping to talk at length about various types of music which I associate with the name or culture of 'hip hop' which I am enthusiastic about?

And apologise. And also happy to urge you to post more of the stuff you relate to, and associate with, hip-hop in that case. Because I'm really getting into some of this stuff.

Because I'm really getting into some of this stuff.i thought the 'punk' label analogy was a good one but it has clearly backfired, lol. all i meant is that there are those who will have a very clear idea of what they think hip hop is, someone else who feels the same with a totally different idea, and so i didn't want to post stuff for people to say "what the fuck is this shit?"hip hop as an idea is evolving. just listen to some of the odd future, lil b, young l type beats coming out now. then compare them to the new york rick ross/diplomats style stuff. then your golden era boom bap stuff...then your RJD2, Dilla, Madlib type instrumental/'beats' scene stuff, it's all overlapped over time and there are so many different scenes coming out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too cheap to ever actually buy anything at these tourist traps. It looks pretty much exactly like the stock photo they used in the show so it's a success I guess.

KarmaTsunami Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Really liked this.What blogs do you guys use to hear new hip-hop/rap music? I mostly go by what people post here and on other forums but I sometimes frequent this blog: The Tape which although not exclusively hip-hop oriented is still pretty good. They posted a couple of Overdoz. tracks which I liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 That Pound record was good, but seriously, I am so sick of boys talking about getting their dick sucked. This isn't the nineties, N.W.A. and G-funk have been and gone - lets move on. The beat was great, but I just think there is ploenty more these MCs to talk about. A lot of the time I just think "surely you can do better than that?" Don't get me wrong, I won't not listen to a tune because of it, but I'd much rather listen to something thats got some emotion, or is really dark, or really summery or has some mad word play over the whole "here check me - I'm great" sorta stuff.
