Hip Hop Music Thread

And another thing to keep in mind is that LL was just a kid when he started. He was just 16 years old when he did "I Need A Beat". And by '86, he was already getting played on national radio with several songs, and he wasn't even old enough to by beer yet. lol. That's pretty impressive! And I honestly think he is one helluva good actor, too. He's also not the guy to piss off, because he truly IS BADDD, as that dude who broke into his house found out a few years ago, lol. He really is all that and a bag of chips. ;)

Here's another great oldie from LL...


And this is one of my favorites, the bass is really dope. And I like the video. lol


And here is a good old one, for those who think he is just a hardened dude.
He really does have soft side.:p
 
I got to post this one, too. I have always loved it. Always been one of my favorites.


And I can't post this one, but for a little "naughtier" side, "Doin It" is awesome.
 
Continuing with the throwback theme, this girl has got it goin on. Not rap, but who can say NO to Toni Braxton?? Eh?? And Gina from Martin is in the video, too. That's my girl! Love Gina. And the bass is boomin. Come on, now. :D

 
OK. I'm through. Sorry. Just don't have anywhere else to really post the music I love like this. I tried to make an R&B thread a few months ago, but nobody cared and it faded away. So here ya go. lol. :p

R&B is hit or miss for me... I pretty much stay away from anything after the mid 90's... once Jodeci, and H-Town came, I just seen a lot of groups doing the same darn thing... made me yearn for Franky Beverly, The Isleys, Blue Magic,Delfonics, Heatwave... etc... everyone in my jr high and hs thought I was crazy listening to all of that old stuff (but Im just a music dude, Ill listen to any genre)...... tha ladies used to think I was strange... until I hit em with tha.....
:D

JB's "The Grunt"


PE's "Rebel without a Pause"

Ah yes, I remember it well. I was going to post Return Of the Mack, but decided to post Montel instead. Then low and behold, you posted Return a few minutes later. Great minds think alike.:D

I used to love Sade. I wished so much that I looked like her. I thought she was so beautiful, and I could listen to her sing all day. Such a very lacksadazy, hypnotic voice. She was always quite mesmerizing.:)

I grew up with 50s, 60s, and 70s R&B, my mom played her R&B records all the time. I really latched onto The Platters' "Great Pretender". I used to play her 45 over and over again. lol. I just loved Tony Williams' voice, couldn't get enough of it. This is also how I fell in love with Smokey Robinson's voice, from my mom's Miracles records. Mom was a huge Roberta Flack fan, and it was easy to love her voice, too. Quite a lady. There was lots of types of music in our house. I had a healthy dose of every genre you can imagine, plus a few that I brought in, like Disco, Rap, New Wave, Techno, and Middle Eastern. Me and my dad both shared a love of Classical and Tejano music. He was more of a guitar man, and loved the old, old Blues greats and also the concert classical guitarists, as well as Chet Atkins. I used to love to listen to him play all the tunes on his guitar. Rock was my brother's love, he was very much into the bands of the day (the 70s) and man could he play them all great on the guitar, everything from CCR and Led Zeppelin, to Jim Croce and Harry Chapin. He was a natural. :)

When people would question my taste in music or ask me what I liked, Ron, because I have always loved so many different genres, and could never name just one, I would always just tell them, "If it's good, I like it.";)
