What is the sickest rap bassline you guys have ever heard or know?
I've been getting into them recently, as I'm getting sick of just doing  metal  . |

The first Tung Twista album had some *very* tasty upright, too. |

Also, check out "It Ain't About You" on Kurupt's "Streets Iz A Mutha" album. I can't really listen to the song anymore - too much cussing for me. But it's got a real cool bassline. As a matter of fact, the whole album is dope.

And if you like jazz or upright at all, A Tribe Called Quest's album "The Low End Theory" is tops - even had the great Ron Carter play on the track "Verses From the Abstract". |
