Sick rap basslines

Sign in to disble this ad
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.

When you start listening to those cars with the bumps, and actually listening to the bumps, it's kind of catchy.

I love Doug Wimbish's line on "White Lines". He also played some sick stuff with James Brown and Afrikaa Bombatta.

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

DJ Quik usually has some pretty tight basslines...even though it isn't done with a real bass. 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.

I forgot who recorded the tune, but the bassline on "Leave My Curl Alone" is insidiously catchy!

The remix of Dr. Dre and Tupac's "California Love" is pretty sick. And as was said above, "The Chronic" has great stuff pretty much all the way through.
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".

Colt .45 by Afroman is pretty gun to play. Simple, yet fun.
