Hip-hop from 1986 to 1996, to me this is the golden age of this genre.

this...back in those days every song on an album was good now you're lucky to get more then 2 or 3 and then the few good ones aren't that great i don't listen to any of the new stuff in the genre i prefer to listen to Metal but if i am in the mood for Hip Hop i go to the old school classics...

TrolleyDave · Apr 12, 2010

Add Bliss n Eso - Flying Colours to that list! Just listening to it, brilliant album. The Sea Is Rising is a superb track.

Alot of you** have shit taste and/or don't know what actual hip hop is.

Slick Rick is Hip Hop.
The Beastie Boys is Hip Hop.
Run DMC is Hip Hop.
Camp Lo is Hip Hop.
Lupe Fiasco is Hip Hop.
Deltron 3030 is Hip Hop.
Nujabes (R.I.P) is Hip Hop.
MF Doom is Hip Hop.
House of Pain is Hip Hop.
A Tribe Called Quest is Hip Hop.
Naughty By Nature is Hip Hop.
Nice n' Smooth is Hip Hop.
Talib Kweli is Hip Hop.
The Pharcyde is Hip Hop.
Will Smith is Hip Hop.

I can list REAL Hip Hop artists all day until I'm blue in the face.
I was born in Manhattan,raised in the Bronx and my brother in law is a DJ.

I was raised on Hip Hop. I know what I'm talking about.

** = Not all of you. Just alot of you.

I can't be bothered to go off naming and quoting people right now.

fuck yeah dumbfoundead

also the whole old shit is the best shit. its just during those times decent rap/hip-hop artists had much more exposure. Everyone's so called "real" hip-hop is still around, and not that hard to find either. heck there is probably more of it running around nowadays, it just takes a little bit more looking around than your local top 40 charts.

ufotrash · Apr 15, 2010

I agree, it makes me a little sad that some people essentially are saying "real" hip hop is dead...I mean, I don't think it is at all! But that's the thing, I think I'm at a good place when it comes to the more recent stuff, but I have to admit my knowledge of the "old school" could be a little better, which is why I asked for some people to list me some good classic albums! I'm not getting too much of that though, just a lot of names. For me the album is a little important, because, well, you know how some artists have different flavors on different albums so I can't just take an artist and download EVERYTHING(plus I'm going to actually BUY some of these, so I mean, I can't buy them ALL) ... I need direction darn you!

But uh. I'm still pretty happy to know there are people on this forum that aren't just automatically "RAP SUXx" I mean, I think we've only got one or two posts like that so far and they weren't completely unreasonable anyway...
Yeah, so keep fighting the good fight guys.

Great band, great album! Really good live as well.

@ufotrash : Here's a few albums I can recommend, a good choice would be to get compilations of "old skool" classics though to help you figure out the bands you like.

A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
Del La Soul - 3 Feet High And Rising, De La Soul Is Dead
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions, Fear Of A Black Planet, Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age, He Got Game
Arrested Development - 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of...
Flobots - Fight With Tools
Nas - Illmatic, Gods Son (one of the finest hip hop albums ever)
Grandmaster Flash - The Message, They Said It Couldn't Be Done
Ice T and The Rhyme Syndicate - O.G (Original Gangsta), Power
Eric B and Rakim - Paid In Full
Cypress Hill - Cypress Hill, Black Sunday
Eminem - The Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers
Sugarhill Gang - Sugarhill Gang
Run DMC - Run DMC, Raising Hell
Beastie Boys - Licensed To Ill, Ill Communication, To The Five Boroughs
Queen Latifah - All Hail The Queen
Outkast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
PM Dawn - Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross, The Bliss Album
Spearhead - Home, Stay Human
Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury, Spare Ass Annie and Other Tales

They're not really underground as such, but they're what hip-hop/rap is really about for me anyway. I'll list some more after you've listened to a few and let me know what you like from them!

Thanks for these, this is a good list to work off of. I was really surprised at Queen Latifah, I never knew how awesome she was. I have solid respect and love for her now. ...TO EVERYONE, any more really good female MCs you can recommend???

+1. Really glad to know there are people on this board who are down with Hip Hop

It's good to see people are trying to cure this dude mattpucc of his ignorance regarding Hip Hop. I've grown a bit weary having to deal with heads who don't understand the culture or the music but will lay their uneducated views/ negative experiences down as if it were fact right off the bat which is childish and ignorant.

Please watch this, it provides much insight on the essence of Hip Hop

Hip Hop in its Essence is Real

Hip is the knowledge, Hop is the movement

Her Infinite Power Helping Oppressed People

Holy Integrated People Having Omnipresent Power

Most people today who listen to "Hip Hop" aren't aware of the existence of the elements which holds Hip Hop together. It seems to me Bboying, MCing, DJing, and Graffiti have been replaced with Hoes, Cars, Money. What's staggering about this is the amount of people influenced by this poison which is in no way aiding ones progression in spirituality or manifestation of humanistic characteristics, but people are free to like whatever they want.

So? I was born and raised in Brooklyn but I've moved many places and now I currently live in Atlanta and I still have great taste in Hip-Hop. Where you're from and your relations with someone doesn't make you musically or lyrically inclinded. (It's also funny you don't list Nas or Jay-Z yet you list Will Smith who has left the Hip-Hop scene and hasn't released an album in 5 years.)

Playing HeartGOOOLD of course of course.
And yeah I know what you mean about that, I've got tons of games on my SD that haven't been touched yet..haha.
Definitely don't play Animal Crossing if you're looking for a game with action...and...a point...

I usually like to get blazed and then play it, and I'll be set for an hour or two. COUGH.

Anyway!
Duuude all that chill mellow stuff you posted was pretty golden. Thanks man.

Oh and props for posting some Common. I'm a Chicago girl, so of course I've got much love for the man.
I'm even going to the college that he, Rhymefest, and Kanye dropped out of...hahaha.
