Shenmue Dojo

So after hearing their new album, I was inspired to go back and listen to my favourite Onyx record, All We Got Iz Us. Definitely their best album, it's a masterpiece of dark angry rap. Super dope production too.

Been listening to the album School of Hard Knocks by the Hard Knocks today. Man, I forgot what an ill gem of an album that was. Came out in 92, but still sounds totally fresh today.

Love the way this song follow Road to the Precinct too. Ill.

Edan's Echo Party video is up to watch on Vimeo for a limited time. It's fucking brilliant

Damn mue is going in on this thread. I haven't really been listening to that much rap lately, but this came on yesterday and I went apes. Dat beat.

Yeah, I've been listening to copious amounts of rap recently, just been in one of those moods. Been listening to a lot of golden era stuff recently, especially from the Juice crew.

This Brand New Heavies Kool G Rap track is brilliant



"You think you're down with the murder guys. bullshit! Say hello to that dirt you're gonna fertilize"

I love this Biggie quote in an ad for G Rap's 4,5,6 album that ran in The Source back in the day:



Can you if imagine that was published today

That biggie quote is awesome. There should be back cover quotes like that on classic albums. Treat it like great literature, but in a more hood way.





They need to release a full DVD or album of him doing this with a live band.

Seen this yet? http://rappers.mdaniels.com.s3-website- ... onaws.com/

Pretty much exactly how you'd probably imagine it would look like. But now it's been scientifically proven.

Been listening to that classic G Funk shit a lot recently, I grew up on it here in LA

A few of my recent favorites:

Hell yes:

Been banging out Apollo Browns latest beat tape, which is fire as per.

Definitely the first one, hands down. Love that piano, and love that vocal sample at the intro and outro. Love that song. Don't like the Green Lantern version at all.
