The Hip-Hop Variety Thread!

[FilterFunk]

There's been a lot of talk about hip-hop in various TB forums and threads lately, so I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to showcase the variety in this particular genre. As long as we're going to be discussing hip-hop, it should be more properly represented, IMO.

There are plenty of TBers who are much more deeply into hip-hop than me, so please feel free to freely contribute to this thread (especially new stuff)! OK, I'll start:


Lauryn Hill - "Doo-Wop (That Thing)":


Gang Starr - "Manifest":


Shinehead - "Gimme No Crack":


Kool Moe Dee - "I Go To Work":


Arrested Development - "Tennessee":

This is the hiphop project I left earlier this year. Only one track is showing up, but it's a three song EP if you let it roll.

I played bass, synths, hand percussion, and scored all of the horn parts on this as well as engineering, mixing, and mastering it as well:

Paging Tupac and Funk$tar...I'd really like to see and hear what you have to add to this thread!

Hip-Hop baselines - do they really exsist?

From the guy who helped start it all, Doug Wimbish:

How about Flea doing a bass line? He shows up around 2:00.



Don't know who played this one.



Or this one. Caution!! Parental Advisory!!

And I just couldn't resist.

From the guy who helped start it all, Doug Wimbish:

Didn't he play on Rapper's Delight too? Whoever did that song deserves a medal for playing the same line for over seven minutes.

Also, Kendrick Lamar's bassist is amazing. Good Kid MAAD City is full of tasty grooves.

Doug did not do Rappers Delight...Did do Apache though!
