the ultimate old school rap compilation
the ultimate old school rap compilationInspired by what transpired in the "best cover song" thread (as well as the desert island music thread), let's come up with our own CD to rival those Rhino Record compilations.
We must have: Baby Got Back - Sir Mixalot Wild Thing - Tone Loc Nuthin' but a G Thang - Snoop & Dre Whoomp! There It Is - Tag Team Humpty Dance - Digital Underground Bust a Move - Young MC Wiggle It - Two in a Room Give It All You Got - Afro Rican Shake It - MC Shy D Iesha - ABC I'm cracking up even as I type these!
Ok here is my ultimate Od School Mix tape:
Gasface - 3rd Bass Just a Friend - Biz Markie Scenario - Tribe Check the Rhyme - Tribe U Mean Im Not - Black Sheep Strobelite Honey - Black Sheep Mona Lisa - Slick Rick Bust a Move - Young MC Today Was A Good Day - Ice Cube Any Snoop/Dre song, you can go wrong with them Live Evil - The Flatlinerz The Ed Lover song (cant remember which it is the one he does the dance to) f*** tha Police - NWA O.G. Original Gangsta - Ice-T Wordz of Wisdom - 3rd Bass Choice is Yours - Black Sheep atleast that would be a start
Well, I was thinking more like people could add to the list and eventually we would have a comprehensive 30 disc set because believe me - I have plenty more songs percolating
My boyfriend will be so upset if he knew that I left the Biz off my original list. Thanks for adding it - I knew someone else would appreciate it! 'cause everything's to the back with a little slack, candygirl Back to Life - Soul II Soul (does that count?)
and what's that song... Dub Be Good To Me, I think it was called and it had a rap in the middle going something like: something something bang nitty gritty, listen to the sounds from the big bad city this is DAMN hot... Sorry, that's not very helpful, is it? --------------------------------------------- http://www.urban-hills.blogspot.com ---------------------------------------------
Sorry, candygirl, I know this song has nothing to do with your topic but I can't help myself so I'm going to ask.
Does anybody remember that song D.I.S.C.O? You know the one where they sing that bit that goes.... She is D delightful She is I irresistable She is S super Sexy She is C such a cutie She is O ooooh Oh my God, I don't believe I just remembered that and actually admitted it! "See, I have this philosophy......."
Well just for that, I must get us back on topic with:
the S is for super and the U is for unique the P is for perfection and you know that we are freaks! the E is for exotic and the R is for rap so tell those nosy people just to stay the hell back! Supersonic by JJ Fad (not to be confused with We Like the Cars!)
the ultimate old school rap compilationFnordboy, Technotronic is indeed right so part of your brain is still there!
As for old school rap, I can't believe no one mentioned "Fight for Your Right (to Party)" by the Beastie Boys. That was one song that I loved jamming to back in the day. "When you drink from the cup of life, chug." ~ Citibank billboard
My major contribution would be "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock. Once voted by Spin magazine to be the top single of the last 25 years (c. 1989 or 1990).
In a slightly more serious vein, no Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five? "White Lines"? "The Message"? Or, even for the crossover appeal, "Rapture" by Blondie? Public Enemy -- "Don't Believe the Hype" or "Bring the Noise"? Old Boogie Down Productions? And who knows what I am forgetting -- I don't actually listen to that much rap/hip-hop. Daydreaming days in a daydream nation
STARBUG The song you wrote about is called 'Just be good to me' by a Britsh group (I think) called Beats International. I don't know if you wanted to know that,but Ijustlove that song so much I thought I'd let you know. And I also love 'Keep On Movin' by Soul 2 Soul. And some of my favourite old-skool hip hop tracks include:
Tribe called Quest-The Hop Jungle bros, De la soul etc- How ya want it we got it OH YEAH! DeLASOUL- Rollerskating Jam Named Saturdays Delasoul-Bitties in the BK lounge Nas- Life's a Bitch Anything by Digable Planets Anything by Biggie (I think he might be my favourite) and there's just too many to mention so I think I'll stop now!
