In terms of guys from the 2000's you're missing ATG's like J-Live, One Be Lo, Phonte, Mr Lif, Qwel, Wordsworth. Guys like Future, Gucci, Bronson, ASAP aren't fit to lace their shoes. In J-Live, One Be Lo and Qwel, you'd find them in a lot of top 20 MC's of all time lists...they're #1 and #3 on mine personally.

I only accepted people from 2005 onwards. ( last 10 years) Qwel, One Be Lo cant be included. And even though I dont think Bronson one of the best rappers ever i love his tapes/albums. (same goes with the other people on this list.So he is going into my list of favourites (of 2005-2015 new acts)

Ah my mistake good sir. Roc Marciano, Blu, Fashawn, Shad, Homeboy Sandman, Black Milk, Skyzoo and Curren$y are all top top MC's of the last ten years, certainly above Gucci, Future, ASAP, Kevin Gates. Never ever got into Bronson, I think he's a very very average rapper who has a half decent verse every now and again but his tapes/albums are full of filler

Not sure if people are onto this yet but Ed lovers got a new show with some great interviews

This MC Serch one is a good place to start, telling the story of the time Hammer put a hit out on them.

It's a great story alright and well told. The Eric Sermon one is another good watch.

just watched it....i have no idea what E is saying most of the time though. But he sure does like talking about money.

Have the Kool Keith & Prince Paul one queued up next.

I haven't watched them, i'm sure the Kool Keith one will be interesting.

Another potentially great movie, if it lives up to the hype is Southpaw which see's eminem as an executive producer. Paul Rosenberg has set the bar high in saying he thinks they've assembled one of the finest boxing films ever made. The fighter featuring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale is imo the best modern day boxing film released, hopefully this follows suit.

A hip hop heavy soundtrack is also something to look forward too.

Very good interview with Kendrick Lamar in The Guardian:

Looking for some advice;

In your guys opinion the two best Too Short albums?

Doing some research and most say get Born to Mack but there's a massive discography so I'm just looking for a second opinion.

Cheers.

Boom_Bap

Cocktails & Short Dog's In The House would be my 2 favourites.

Wondering if anyone can help me out finding a track? Sounded fairly modern with a bit of a west coast vibe.

Only lyrics I can remember are along the lines of :
"Have to explain to my twins why mommy and daddy don't live together" and "my little boy saying when he grows up he want's to be just like me"

"What if my twins ask why I ain't marry their mom? Damn, how do I respond?
What if my son stares with a face like my own and says he wants to be like me when he's grown? s**t but I ain't finished growing."

I think this is the song you're thinking of, it's "Coming Home" by Diddy ft. Skylar Grey. Hope this helped!

Highly recommend this.

It was the softest sh*t I've ever come accross.
They hardly even dissed each other in their tracks. I grew up in an era where people actually went for the jugular in diss tracks. Not tippy toeing around each other with 'subliminals'.

Wow! That looks sick!!

Me and the lads used to pick up all the tapes and records of this show growing up. We even tried tuning in a few times with no success....this is only at the advent of dial up.
When we first heard Eminem on the show, we took over my friends phone line and downloaded his freestyle, it must have taken a day or 2.

I got tapes sent over to me,I have one somewhere I'm not even sure if it's stretch and bobbito with Eminem before most had heard of him,few months later and he was a household name.I reckon I'm going to have a busy time matching up and finding the beats used in freestyles on this documentary.

This is a great read. I would recomend stopping and paying attention to the embedded tracks along the way

Twas indeed, I'd recomment Sach's albums after his death as well. Real good stuff.

Boom_Bap

Great interview and studio performance from Prof.

I wouldn't say I'm his biggest fan, but this has certainly turned my head.

Thanks for the heads up never even knew it was coming, i have loads of tapes of this show, up there with red alerts show on Kiss. Can't wait for it.

Had lost most of my physical copies of my fav albums so scooped these up really cheap online

Muirshin Durkin

Get that a man a Jheri curl and a 40 stat.^

If you get a chance, check out the J.Cole homecoming shows that were on HBO recently.
A really interesting look into Cole's lead up to the Forrest Hills Drive album release, the stresses due to him producing and mixing, early listenings for people and the release reaction.
Then it goes on to a bit on tour life post release. It's one of the best hip hop shows I've watched in a long time. I'd say you wouldn't need to be a fan to engage with it...but you may become one afterwards.

Get over to this site quick, it's going to expire today.

Free DL of the first Naughty By Nature album, which is a classic and always overlooked. There's also a donwload of remixes from the album.

Ninteen Naughty III is another cracker of an album.
Poverties Paradise is also amazing. Cut 4 or 5 songs off it and it's a 5 mic classic in my opinion.

If you want to go real deep down the rabbit hole, they had a band called Rottin Rascalz on their label, or they produced for them and featured on their only album called Rotten To Da Core. Another slept upon gem from the 90's.

Gonna pick that up at the weekend on 7digital. But not gonna rush it. Gonna get some more play out of the first album.
It's really well produced IMO and lyrically NBN are very strong.

Treach is an excellent rapper, he should be knocking on the door of top 10 lists but is never mentioned. Probably because he started showing his willy in movies.

Tuuuune!

Just picked up Nighteen Naughty III, hope to give some of my thoughts on it over the weekend.

Again what can I say. Just wow.

Another phenomenal album. Only thing I can notice is this one seems to be a little bit more sample heavy (Not that it bothers me)

This track is a gem!

Hot Potato & Written on Ya Kitten (HaHa) are great tracks too.

I threw on the first NBN album yesterday while doing some cleaning about the house, it's still incredible.
Going to listen to Poverty's Paradise today as well.

Also, can you recommend anything similar to NBN? With similar production etc..

Poverty's Paradise is really good, it's a bit more commercial, but those commercial songs are real good as well. I think Vin Rock gets more mic time as well.

I particularly love this song
