kirkt Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 there was one French dude who did hip-hop stuff at Drakes a few weeks ago, which was really cool stuff. Also, a guy named Foogz has a project called Sir Lucif Hexe which is like horror rap like Twiztid/ICP who can be found on on www.geocities.com/murdamanrecords . I'd like to see some more hip-hop stuff myself, especially as im still in awe at Jurassic 5's performance at Leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']For the folks here who don't know, Pierre's performance (in French) was as part of a benefit show supporting the setting up of an autonomous social centre here in Aberdeen. Think it was his very first live performance. Really cool with a dub vibe going on. He also has a show on meFM Wednesdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterdale Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 an amazing turntableist. (smelling stimake?)Couldn't agree more. His erstwhile Radio Skool cohorts Isho and Corallo (The Soulcialists) are well worth checking out too. Giles Walker know his ingins too.The following certainly aint local' date=' but should be on interest to most hip hop enthusiasts:Fingathing Sunday 17th OctoberThe Lemon Tree Doors Open 9pm | Onstage 10pm 9 (6 concessions and Regulars)Box Office: 01224 642230Lifestyle favourites Fingathing return to The Lemon Tree with their unique combination of Peter Parkers turntable wizardry and Sneakys double bass - not forgetting Chris Drurys surreal cartoon visuals. The musical duo first joined forces as part of the live band for the superb Manc hip-hop and soul producers Rae & Christian and have since become a hugely in-demand headline act in their own right through the power and innovation of their live shows. When they lock on to a groove, the effect is awesome. In a world of faceless dance acts, Fingathing's skewed breakbeat experiments provide true spectacle. NME [url']www.fingathing.com DJ PremierTuesday 9th NovemberDoors Open: 9 pm The Lemon Tree Tickets 15 (10 concessions & Regulars)Box Office: 01224 642230Chris Martin, aka DJ Premier, best known for being one half of the Rap duo Gang Starr, is also a DJ and record producer. DJ Premier has produced almost all of Gang Starr's tracks as well as tracks for many other groups and solo artists since the 1990s. He has produced tracks for such artists as Jay-Z, Big L, The Notorious B.I.G, Nas, M.O.P., Jeru The Damaja, KRS-One and Mos Def. DJ Premier's style of production is considered "underground" Hip-Hop or "alternative" Hip-Hop. He is known for sampling Jazz artists, as well as sampling an artist's past work, when he is creating a new track for that same artist. He is known for combining small vocal portions from multiple artists to make one hook on a track he is producing. This creative technique has made him one of the most sought after producers in Hip-Hop. DJ Premier's name refers to claim to be the first and the best in his style. His original stage name was Wax-Master C, the "C" coming from his real name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Giles Walker Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 For my money the best Rappers in the deen are Kuda and Mayhem, i did a show with them and some of the flava folk (as well as some others) and i was very impressed with their style and flow. I heard foogz and thought he was good at the whole 'nasty rap' type thing and that pierre guy is pretty cool also and he plays interesting music.The illest however are not my type of thing, for a start they were pretty rude to me when i did a show with them for MEFM and then proceeded to rap about bitches and money. One of their tunes had a chorus that went "i want a little slap and tickle wanna do it good, wanna see your booty wiggle like you know it should..... im a player for life, play you like a player should" i reckon 'slap and tickle' is the least hip hop phrase i have ever heard, i asked my grandad if he uses it and he told me he stopped in the 50's cos it sounded so dated. There are also Bell, Nil Munny and Wanchoo who all still play underground hip hop and have plenty of skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
