I know of Die Fantastischen Vier and really like their music. It is different from American rap music. But it is fun and easy to dance to. My friend was a dancer in the "Der Picknicker" video. But I will check out the other videos.

Fettes Brot another very succesful group with the Killer song "Schwule Mädchen":

Germany is the biggest Reggae Country after Jamaica (seriously) so enjoy Jan Delay with Sam Ragga Band:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNDGqdocEGA

This is a beautiful Song by Max Herre and Joy Denalane (great vocals):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6KOYFAk4Z4

Sido represents the Gangsta Rap in Germany ( Aggro Berlin) among some others and I decided for this live track which develops greatly and showed me he is a good musician:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhOrVSlVNRk

I also put the Rapper Bushido in here with a song with reminds me a lot in the structure of I C U when U get there by Coolio
Bushido reworks an old german hit in here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YILBP7bnRMk

and then I have this song where DJ Tomekk got a feature by the GZA and the number is a killer ( Tomekk is not the brightest and his stupidity probably killed his career but this song is great)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOv947I9yc0
and there is feature where Grandmaster Flash and Flavor Flav from Public Enemy helped him
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XRNi...eature=related

Mike Zoot - Massive
Mike Zoot - Turn pt. II (feat. Royal Flush)
Mike Zoot - High Drama pt. III (feat. Mos Def)

I discovered these in a Youtube related-videos list and have been listening to them all night. According to Google, he's from New York and put out a couple of 12"s in the late '90s, but that's all the information I've been able to find -- anyone know more about him?

Does anyone have a favorite roots album that they like?

Semi-off topic, but I knew someone who used to date the Roots' lead singer Black Thought and while she wasn't quite a BBW (actually I might have to check my Rudolph the FA's Official Guide to BBW Weights and Measures Handbook to make sure

), she wasn't small by any means.

Cunninlynguists just sent out the advance pre-orders for their first of two new mix tapes(cds)/albums/whatever entitled Strange Journey Volume 1 and it is pretty fantastic. Excellent beats and great guest spots by Killer Mike, Khujo Goodie, Slug, Tonedeff, Mr. SOS, PackFM, Shiesty Khrist, Skinny Deville & Fishscales of Nappy Roots, Mac Lethal, Looptroop Rockers, Substantial & Inverse. Digital Release is on April 18th and Physical Release is in May.

Here are two mp3s for the two singles off of it.

Although Illadelph Halflife was good, my favourite was 'Things Fall Apart'. Unlike some of their other albums, I found almost every song on this album to be extremely listen-able. Black Thought and Malik provide great lyricism mixed with soulful, organic beats. That's one of my favourite parts about them, that they actually have a live band playing while they rap. 'Dynamite', 'Ain't Saying Nothin New', 'Act Too', '100% Dundee' are some of my favourites, plus who could forget 'Double Trouble', and 'You Got Me'. Plus I like the slam-poetry at the end of the album.
Everything they did after this album really doesn't compare with this: Phrenology was good but not great, I didn't like most of Tipping Point, and Rising Down was meh.

When I think of The Roots, I think of Things Fall Apart as a reference point.

alienlanes · 04-19-2009, 06:50 PM

KRS-ONE and Marley Marl put out a record together in 2007 called Hip-Hop Lives. I just picked it up. It's great.

Rising To The Top
The Victory (feat. Blaq Poet)

Nothing special, but related and anyone who doesn't think Redman is a national treasure is no friend of mine. Plus, like he said, "I like a girl that's thick in the waist, you know/ The kind of girl who'll finish he plate, you know/ You ain't greedy you international."

swordchick · 05-07-2009, 04:56 PM

I love "Joints & Jams" by the Black Eyed Peas almost as much as I like ice cream and sex. Check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8kS7atmTis

AND Prince did a fantastic interview with Tavis Smiley. You can see the full interview here: http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/.../20090427.html and http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/.../20090428.html.

Damn, those fools could really dance back in the day. Great video. So who's the woman that looks like Farrell in drag?? I'm assuming that's who Fergie replaced.

Mango, this is Annie lennox playing a grand piano to a wonder bread audience in evening gowns and tuxes at the Logie Awards. I may have to agree with you that a hip-hop thread may not be the best home for that video.

Here's a great new version of Boogie Oogie Oogie from Keyshia Cole with Fabolous that I've been digging on lately.

I don't agree with those that say it's the best instrumental, but it's a very memorable one.

Well if it's the death of his career, I'd be glad. He's played...no skill at all. So um, it's been nice knowin' him. Holler.
