I'm totally grateful for all recommendations but I want to download stuff so I need a manageable list :) - the Top 100 format allows lots of ILXers to get a say which is why I like its silly semi-randomness.

Anyway time to listen to some of the stuff you've all been mentioning!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 10:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Again, pete b is very OTM with Souls Of Mischief - 93 Til Infinity

Make that one of your first listens!

M I have that track and yes it's superb.

Actually I'm surprised by how much of this stuff I do know, maybe I'm not as ignorant of this era as I thought, it's just I own lots of comps and tracks here and there and very few albums (but who wants albums).

We can make it Top 500 or something, I'll get to them all eventually.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

All of these rappers are terrible execpt gangstar, puplic enemy, De La, Del, S.O.M., KRS, and tribe F*** everyone else im sick of people thinking that a top hip hop song should consist of trashy lyrics and catchy beats some people need to wake up and relize that all of these so-called-rappers have no skill. It takes no talent to rap about guns, bitches, niggers and weed. And its funny how most, if not all of these rappers grew up in nice ass neighborhoods yet they claim that they're gangbangers and lived on the streets, rapping about how hard and rough there past life was man F*** that. Personally Atmosphere Overcast should be at the top. And screw anyone who supported these no talent "rappers" in making millions and dicking over true mc's such as sage,j-live and slug.

pleeeease someone answer this, I have been wanting to know the original since I heard it sampled in Bill Drummond and Zodiac Mindwarp's pseudonymous fake-Finnish Elvis impersonator's version of In The Ghetto on a 7" in 1997!!!

figured it out, it's "broken language" by smoothe da hustler

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 02:27 (fifteen years ago)

...did he say "the lady shitter"?

― you live in a space battle homo cave (sic), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 02:33 (fifteen years ago)

argh, I still don't think the lyrics are the same! definitely sounds like the cadence slowed down though, maybe Z and King Boy D made up their own version to sample?
