J. Jacques Doesn't Care About Black People: A Hip-Hop Thread

--- Quote from: JLM ---I was scanning through the pages here...I'm a bit saddened that no one has mentioned DJ Krush, as he's one of the all time greatest producers. His album with Toshinori Kondo is legendary.

Krush is amazing. Though I wouldn't go for 'songs' so much as 'albums.' I really liked Code 4109 (ok, so it wasn't his best, but damn entertaining). and Kakusei is tasty stuff. Jaku's good, in it's own way, though I'm admittedly a bit burned out on it.
And have you seen video of the man perform? He's so zen. Practically one with the turntable. Coolest man alive.

That's a Ludacris song, and right about now you look like a moron.

Uh. What? I assume your point is that Ludacris also does songs with more depth than "rub on your nipples etc". That's great. How exactly does that make Est a moron? He just said he'd rather listen to the lyrics from The Message than the ones from Holiday Inn. Which seems fair enough to me.
On a more positive vibe, Krush live is pretty much the best turntablism you'll ever see. Fuck sily body tricks and fancy beat juggles, that man really does make the turntable an instrument.
Bunnyman:
I suggest emody and est enter a freestyle rap battle.

I actually saw him perform live, And were it not for the unbelievably cheesy crowd, I'd say it was probably the third best hip hop DJ/Producerset I've ever seen (though I've seen better turntablists, in terms of blending and creating sounds with just the records this was aces).
Not that you asked, but the performances in order:
5. Coldcut
4. DJ Food & DK: Solid Steel tour
3. DJ Krush
2. RJD2 (see his live set if you can...it's just awesome)
1. DJ Andy Smith (Seriously, anyone who can go from Barry White to Tom Jones to the Young Black Teenagers without skipping a beat or batting an eye wins).
PrinceMyshkin:
Speaking of DJ's, I gots me two words: Afrika Bambattaa. AMAZING.
Looking for the perfect beat...and he came damn close.
Also, one problem DJs have today is that everybody puts scratchs into their songs! Argh! Like NWA said back in Straight Outta Compton, right after a in-track scratch: Man that's wack, everybody does that.
