it doesnt really matter how old it is. my point is... just listen to it. honestly i got kinda tired pulling out my oldschool hiphop tapes and whatnot to get my groove on. its been ages since somebody came up with such a clean cut, oldschool, bodybreaking song.

about hiphop not being dead, i dunno. maybe it didnt die but it went deep as fuck underground. that real sound was drowned out in the sea of fucking bullshit. remember cash money millionares??? LOL, what a joke.

thank god for people like k-os or mos def, preaching good word no matter what comes at them.

i just hope this is not one time thing.

emery, did you go to system for tha licks???? some 3 years ago

I upset more folks don't know this, especially folks from Toronto. I loved him after his first album. He claimed to never make another album (I can only assume why???...he was mabye a sensative artist) I heard him say this in many interviews.

After he (I assume) overcame his insecurities he dropped a second album, though it did not increase his popularity profile abroad (although people in Canada finally noticed thanks to "crabs in a bucket") it was an AWESOME album that showcased his diversity as an artist. ( the collabo with Sam Roberts was a definate highlight)

Reenergized he released his third album, which released in the states. I don't think it did too well commercially but it doesn't matter.

K-OS can SING, and RAP, and tell a STORY, and that is a triple threat that many commercial artists are not. I always thought he kicked ass, just his 'touchiness' held him back commercially. But if he's fine with that so am I because NON of his songs are diluted.

I'm sure most have heard the remixes of 'sunday morning'.....and finally just to big him up some more, I've read numerous interviews/articles from hip-hop mags that offer critical acclaim to our canadian hip hop talent. Specifically from Wyclef, Jigga and Ghostface. Though it won't mean much.

Kardinall was our original 'breakout' artist and tough he finally got signed to a 'major' US label, I've still not heard any 'official' release.

*Read the inserts of the 'Atlantis album', they are very insightful. Particularly the verses that he mentions he wanted to "RAP" because it was the 'in' thing, while his peers told him to sing because of his beautiful voice.

/end artist whoring

I used to be realy against Hip Hop before... but lately I started getting into some underground stuff, like Jedi Mind Tricks and I also have a few Uk hip hop cds, I also like some older stuff by Necro. The radio definatly doesnt do the Hip Hop genre any justice, sort of like EDM.

Check this

Jedi Mind Tricks - Heavenly devine



Its an oldy but goody.

This song is also very good
Jedi Mind Tricks - I against I feat. Planetary


The whole cd is amazing... Violent by Design. But its not new so i guesss it has nothing to do with this thread.

you know it's often the same with many styles of popular music.. it's just that it's always easier to hate on Hip Hop given the type of culture that its often associated with, which I always find many people here doing. Tru Hip Hop was about coming together and expression through music which unfortunately doesn't often permeate over the radio unless you consider getting crunked and having ice expression.
