Though I am very new to this form of music I could not resist sharing with you my point of view about hip-hop. I was introduced to hip-hop in goa at a famous nightclub. It struck an instant chord as I found it extremely fresh and contemporary. Usually I am against any form of music that is not rock n roll but then to be very frank I was a lil bored and wanted a fresh gust of air to come through my window and hip-hop did the job. With a very sparse knowledge of the subject I would start the countdown now -:
*1. Nelly Feat. City Spud - Ride With Me.*
I like the rythm guitars in the intro and the melodious r&b tune of the song.
*2. Eminem - Real Slim Shady *
The hip-hop god is simply amazing in this song.’Will the real slim shady. please stand up?’
*3. Eve feat. Gwen Stefani - Let Me Blow ya Mind *
This song features gwen stefani of the’no doubt’ fame. The beat, the bassssline is out of the world.
*4. 50 Cents - In Da Club *
Superb build-up. I will call it progressive rap.
*5. Sean Paul - Get Busy *
Ska. Very groovy.
*6. Jayz - Hard Knock Life *
Awesome chorus and groovy beat.
*7. 2Pac Shakur - California Love *
Excellent rapping done by tupac with a feel of techno and club.
*8. Outkast - Ms. Jackson *
R&B to the core. Melodious chorus and steady tempo.
*9. Crazy Town - Butterfly *
Inspired by linkin park, POD, Limp Bizkit etal.
*10. Snoop Doggy Dog - Who am i? Whats my name? *
Boy this dog barks.
I will take the liberty of adding three more kicka** numbers to this list .
*11. DMX - Party up *
Powerful vocals.
*12. Eminem - Sing for the moment *
Eminem Again? well he is class apart and so is the song.
*13. D-12 - Purple Hills *
Purple hills or pills?
