 Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2006 1:32 pm Post subject: Top Five Hip Hop Albums Ever |
 |
|
The last one there, you'd argue that it's more UK garage or grime or whatever, but then is DJ Shadow strictly 'turntablist' or 'trip-hop'?
The other four are obvious shoo-ins.
Let me see your top five hip hop albums list? |

Thassall I got. Outkast hiphop? Wu Tang hiphop? They're all over my speakers, but I got no authority to say.
Anyway, good work, team, but team, not much love for NWA yet? Ice T? Grandmaster Flash? Futura 2000?
Musical Youth?
No love for the originators? |

I don��t blame you – that��s the idea that jump-started it all. Some people only wanted to dance to the four bars in the bridge in popular funk songs. So they cut those parts out and re-looped it over and over again for some crazy late-night street parties in the Bronx.
The intellectual property theft was a ��F#$k You!�� gesture from the poverty-stricken slums. I guess the question as to whether hip-hop��s an art form is debatable. Same goes for graffiti.
In the eighties the scene meshed together with downtown Manhattan art / post-punk and grew organically as underground DJs invented sneakier, catchier and craftier methods of ��sampling�� music.

Absolutely. I��m surprised nobody��s mentioned Stetsasonic��s In Full Gear, Ultramagnetic MC��s Critical Beatdown or Rakim & Eric B��s Paid in Full.
With Paul��s Boutique, 3 Feet High & Rising and Fear of a Black Planet, hip-hop ceased to be a derivation and became original compositions.
Then some corporate intellectual property lawyers said:
�� and sued them all the way back to the ghetto. The royalties and sample clearance requirements created an oppressive market barrier and DJs couldn't produce the same music without getting corporate label sponsorship. They marched on regardless and against all odds, still created some mind-blowing music in the early nineties (see my list). That��s essentially why I call the post-Biz-Markie law suit, pre-Puffy era (1990~1995) to be the golden era of hip-hop.

�� is the standard hip hop slogan at the moment. But there��s plenty of albums out there that are antitheses to the bling-bling.
