That's a bit racialist
What about jungle, jazz or house & techno?

I likes teh jazz, a bit of D&B and electronica
and for some reason, trance covers of 80s hits. I've tried and tried to like rap and R&B and just can't... am a rock girl at heart.

Trance...
...covers of 80s hits? Well, I suppose someone has to.

It's a tough job
but someone has to do it! *sways to The Specials*

I've often wondered what 80's covers of 90's or 00's hits would sound like

Incidentally, who is Pixie Lott
and do I need to care? Apparently she travelled with us on Wednesday, and I think she sounds like a porn star.

Come to think of it, it would sound like a mashup of these two songs

Oh yeah,
It's not rap, it's hip hop. It's like calling rock 'sing'.

In fairness, I didn't know that :)

Think it's time
That you try to find some Sugar Hill Gang, or GB Experience, or Grandmaster Flash.

Real rap/hip-hop, before it got commercialised and gangsta-ised.

I have Rapper's Delight, that a b3ta lurker sent me some time ago.
Mostly because it was on that Honda Accord ad years ago.

Or Mos Def
Or NWA, Public Enemy, KRS-One, De La Soul, Stetsasonic, anything that's not poppy wack commercial crap. Fiddy Cent is possibly the worst rapper there is, terrible flow, cliched rhymes and he just mumbles.

Rakim, now that's a rapper.

My flatmate is partial to Jurassic 5
so I know how good it can be.

Then again he also likes MC Hammer, so you can't win 'em all.

Funnily enough, I only got into Rakim through the Coldcut remix of Paid In Full
and I only recently learned that Eric B & Rakim didn't like that remix.

Is nice!

( Maladicta, Thu 17 Sep 2009, 21:46, Reply)

That's mostly hip-hop, but it does contain a bit of rap.
