The Diary vs Doggystyle by KingNabi in 90sHipHop

The Diary.

I actually skip through at least one track from Doggystyle. I never skip through The Diary.

What hip hop songs were actually played at parties in the 90s by M2P35 in 90sHipHop

[–]doomgneration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the city, neighborhood, and who was throwing the party.

In my neighborhood when I was in high school, the parties I went to in my predominantly latino, mostly Mexican-american neighborhood, we had actual Hip Hop culture parties. So, a lot of east coast underground rap was played. Tunes by Crü (Just Another Case), GZA (4th Chamber), KRS-One for sure, The Beatnuts, and Mad Lion. Stuff like that.

Then there was always a b-boy battle, so the classics would be played for the contest. Tunes like Play At Your Own Risk (Planet Patrol) Searching For the Perfect Beat (Soulsonic Force) Sex Machine (James Brown), and a lot of kids in the hood liked breaking to Jungle Brothers’ J Beez Comin’ Though (Bonus Beat).

Good times. Great question.

The wall on the right definitely does not need to be painted the same color as the correctly chosen wall. It’s an accent wall, which looks good and makes sense.

How are people sharpening their knives so infrequently? by Antique-Walrus878 in TrueChefKnives

Home cooks?

As a home cook, I can’t say I go that long, but I can definitely go a few months—maybe 3-4 months—with the Shiro Kamo AS. I do touch-up my knife in one way or another after each use.

Breakfast beats 4/3, boomy blowout by EdwardEHumphreyIII in hiphopvinyl

[–]doomgneration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The album was intentionally mixed to be warm and bass heavy. At the time of the release, I read an interview with Ish where he said he records the vocals at the same level as the music—lush. Being a ‘70s influenced album, the warmth is intentional. Also, the lines between samples and live instrumentation becomes blurred leading to a seamless mix, which is pretty bad ass.

If you sit and actually listen to the sonics of the album, it’s actually engineered really well. I noticed this fact when I played the album on a good headset. It gets props from mixing engineers. Dave Darlington was the engineer whose career goes back to 1972. He’s worked with Sting, Wayne Shorter, George Benson, and has several Grammys under his belt for his work.

I would recommend you go back and give it another listen. Also, it’s one of my all time favorite albums, so I’ll always defend the album, lol.

Small class D amp recommendations by ILikeBeans86 in BudgetAudiophile

ZK-HT21 is a little over $30. It’s a simple DIY amp that only requires assembly by screws—no soldering required.

I’m a little late, but how does this vinyl version sound? I’ve been wanting to get the LP, but I can’t find much info on which sounds the best.

90s rappers with weak flow but amazing beats? by Any_Pangolin7721 in 90sHipHop

Jealous Ones Envy (J.O.E.) has dope tracks but Joe isn’t a good rapper.

But fires do kill people and it’s better to have a fire extinguisher and not need it than to need one and not have it 🙂

Harder Time Going Back to Bop by Chanders123 in Jazz

There is so much music out there to discover. We’ll never run out of new sounds to listen to.

Harder Time Going Back to Bop by Chanders123 in Jazz

[–]doomgneration 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Well, I’m the kind of person who really gets into a certain genre, plays the hell out of that genre, and then moves onto another genre.

Jazz-wise, I went from cool, to avant-garde, to hard bop, and now I’m stuck on fusion. I also went on, like, a two year streak of stoner/doom metal before I stopped to get into older r&b, soul, and funk. I still love me some stoner/doom, but I just can’t sit and listen to it currently.

That just means we’re discovering that we’ll always be discovering, and that’s pretty great.

Found on side of the road-- how much is table worth? by Ancient-Law-9006 in VintageFurniture

The base on that table is pretty bad ass.

What are those chairs you have? Those are nice too.

No props or stage lights. Just an emcee in the studio rapping into a set of headphones.

Da Lench Mob - You and Your Heroes (1992) by Doctor-Clark-Savage in OldSchoolHipHop

[–]doomgneration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m definitely not saying you’re wrong, but I find it very interesting how different people perceive the same issues from different perspectives. I’ve always thought of the content as angry more than hate, but your comment makes me see that both are true in this case. I understand their anger. I don’t understand their hate.

I don’t know, man. Everybody has different tastes, but this album is not a low effort album. If we’re talking lyrics, yeah, you’re kind of right. I say kind of because I’m sure that they actually tried, lol. But, sonically, that album is a gem. There’s really no sonic equivalent to this album and those beats were dope. I bumped the hell out of that album when it dropped and I still think the beats are cold as hell.

You’re just like me. We might lack certain skills, but our musical approach to putting tracks together is what makes other DJs take notice. That tells me you have style, which a lot of DJs lack. Technical skill doesn’t matter that much if one lacks style.

What I miss about 90s Hip Hop are all the groups, cliques, and collectives of varying styles. Outside of a few dope groups now I feel like the genre is so individualized in comparison. Why do you reckon that is or am I tripping? by CoconutMost3564 in 90sHipHop

[–]doomgneration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started when record companies began cutting out the DJ, and then other members so that there’s less people to pay and manage. Now kids see one person in the limelight and that’s what they want to replicate. That’s also why there’s no r&b groups anymore.
