Hip Hop has become such a parody of itself commercially, that you just know that all the extravagance and the bravado, is all marketed towards the suburbs. That`s why the place to go is underground - and largely outside of the U.S, where `the three arts` - namely graffiti, breaking and rap are still intertwined into one entity and still seen as part of a Hip Hop culture thats relevant today , where in America, the music took off and the other arts didn`t fare so well.
Today, though, we are in Hip Hop`s home turf.if you look past the superslick MTV videos, and go back to listening to hip hop as opposed to watching it, or wearing it, you find the the genre moved on from R&B crossover / Ibiza rubbish that has cluttered the airways for the last few years. It does mean you have to look for it, but after spending most of my youth in record shops - what`s new?
Well, I`m dropping two hip hop albums one post, two producers, one raps, the other doesn`t. One thing these two albums does have in common is, the second track is where the album really starts, and where I`d recommend you start off from too - just to start off on the right foot. Suhnraw, has been at `the game` for awhile, his latest album "Soul" came out this month, but "Tape 2" isn`t a bad place to start. Aeon Grey, also has been about a little while - his first release being in 2007. You got two fellas who know what they`re doing in the studio, but do it in different ways.
"STILL LIFE`S SABOTAGE" AEON GREY - BASHIR.
Producer and rapper of equal qaulity.
"TAPE 2" SUHNRAW.
Short hip hop Instrumentals. Check out track two first, it seriously rocks. no mess.
