    @oldhat There are whispers of a new record.

    @chrisanthropic I have not thought about Blockhead in a good long while. Thank you.

    I learned just a little more than a year ago that I can enjoy hiphop when I finally watched Samurai Champloo and found I really dug the soundtrack. The principle DJ was the late, great Nujabes and I was hooked from the opening track.

    Nujabes + Force of Nature + Fat Jon


    That led to starting Nujabes Radio at Pandora. Through the "music genome matching" or whatever I found I'm apparently attracted more to East Coast beats and funk tunes. Funny, though all of my Pandora stations inevitably lead to Portisehead. Which should have tipped me off to the fact that I might like some hiphop way back in 1994. But anyway. Pandora opened her magical box yet again for me and brought me to the likes of:

    DJ Krush


    Madvillain = MF DOOM + Madlib


    A Tribe Called Quest


    DJ Shadow


    De La Soul (which yeah, I should have figured out I'd love a zillion years ago...maybe I wasn't ready)


    People Under the Stairs


    And it is a damn shame it took this long to find Digable Planets. Took a while, but I got there.


    Found I'm a bit *shrug* on Wu Tang but like GZA, RZA and Ghostface Killah quite a bit. Along with Portisehead I was quickly reminded I like most triphop acts such as Tricky, Sneaker Pimps and Massive Attack. Other acts I found that I'm happy to share: RJD2, Dilated Peoples, Deadmau5...

    Pressed for time but I'm definitely coming back to check out the other offerings here. Also I need to get to some rap in español.

    ETA Oh BALLs. I don't have time to futz with the code some more to figure out what I'm doing wrong while trying to embed. The youtube embed code doesn't seem to do a darned thing... arg. Gotta go, I'll play with this some more tonight.

    Edit AAAHHH I get it now. Haven't done this in a while...

    So many great tracks already posted, so many more things to choose from to post.

    But, No Love for Dilla? Seriously?



    Dilla produced:



    and:



    as well as:



    and



    but I could post a dozen more classic dope tunes from his back catalogue. It's well worth finding a copy of donuts, an instrumental beat tape that he put out on Stonesthrow, mere days before his death.

    non Dilla related good stuff:

    Dels' Trumpalump (all the tracks he's realsed off his debut album are excellent, I chose Trumpalump for the excellent video. Check it out.)

    Half Past Never Band - Sammy Jankis

    I'm really loving REKS at the moment. And this Primo Beat...



    Apollo Brown is making some really awesome beats at the moment, true Detroit soul



    ...it always comes back to Dilla..

    Apologies about the multi-post spammage. I only noticed this thread this evening and as it says in my profile......


    Hip-Hop is the love of my life.
