TWW, I need your help! I'm making a hip hop mix cd, but I'm having difficulty finding good songs to put on there. I've listened to a lot of Pandora and other resources, but I feel like I'm becoming more and more selective. Post the best songs you can think of; I'll listen to them all. In any case, just let it be a thread for good music.

This is the 2nd of 3 CD's. The following songs are already taken because they are on the first CD:

1. Deltron 3030 - 3030
2. Snoop Dogg - Tha Shiznit
3. Binary Star - Reality Check
4. Cormega - Verbal Graffiti
5. NWA - Gangsta Gangsta
6. Method Man - Killing Fields
7. Mobb Deep - The Realest
8. Warren G - Regulate (remix)
9. Hieroglyphics - You Never Knew
10. Stetsasonic - Talkin' All That Jazz
11. Ice Cube & Krayzie Bone - Until We Rich
12. Kool G Rap & Nas - Fast Life
13. Hieroglyphics - Fantasy Island
14. Mos Def - Hip Hop
15. Bone Thugs - Days Of Our Lives
16. Nate Dogg - Nobody Does It Better
17. Tru - Bout It Bout It (I want to have something silly to end the cd)

The following are songs that will definitely be on the mix:

Cormega - Therapy
Deltron 3030 - Virus
Binary Star - One Man Army
Dr. Octagon - Technical Difficulties
Handsome Boy Modeling School - Waterworld
People Under The Stairs - Empty Bottles of Water
Common - I Used To Love H.E.R.
Scarface - I Seen A Man Die

the following are songs I'm considering:
Tupac - Pour Out Some Liquor
Warren G - Super Soul Sis
Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Part II
Fugees- Oh La La
NWA - Fuck The Police
NWA - Always Into Something
Eric B and Rakim - Microphone Fiend

Who makes CDs in 2010?

7/14/2010 8:21:10 AM

if you're going to include dr. octagon, you should use 'earth people' instead

7/14/2010 8:36:09 AM

You need "Iron Helix" by Mr. Lif.

7/14/2010 8:52:47 AM

needs more tribe

7/14/2010 10:02:31 AM

Abdominal "Vicious Battle Raps" or "Rap Machine"
Aesop Rock "Facemelter" or "We Famous"
P.O.S. "Stand Up"
Astronautalis "Mr. Blessington's Imperialist Plot"
Blackalicious "Alphabet Aerobics"

7/14/2010 11:02:51 AM

I notice you don't have any T Pain, Weezy or Soulja Boy on there.

7/14/2010 11:26:01 AM

i love fuckin killin fields

that and elements are the best songs on that tical 2000 album IMO

im a fan of slower paced hip hop that goes hard (not necessarily just C&S) and those two tracks are perfect examples...also why i am a huge bone fan, they rap fast but over some slow-to mid-paced hard ass beats



anyway for a nice change of pace honestly put some classic DJ screw up there. look him up on youtube and if you like it hit me up and i can recommmend tracks


but for real, lookin up and down your list, you and I have very similar tastes in hip hop...that damn scarface and the ghetto boys hell yea id say get more of their shit

id like to hear more of what you listen to, i can probably get exposed to some good stuff


P.S. If you can find regulate or Gangsta PArty slowed down (not chopped, just slowed) thats a good indicator of whether you like music slwoed or not cuz those tracks are as good as it gets and to me sound much much better slowed....like i said change of pace

YES! The Old Prince was a damn good CD and TSOL is actually getting some press. Just wish TSOL would release in the states. His upcoming Canadian tour with K'Naan should get him some more media recognition.

First releases off TSOL:
Rose Garden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-mAMH5S6VA
Yaa, I get it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Moge_dQPeU

The Old Prince:
Brother http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jhn3X8gGEA
Old Prince Still Lives At Home (Fresh Prince spoof) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExOCc_bHj6U

Rock To It (live) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy4ZZtoviXA

DIPLOMAT OF SWING WITH ALIENS AT MY FEET!

And although I'll assume you've completed this CD in the last 7 months...and while you have a nice assortment of underground/old stuff you have virtually nothing from the South on there. May I suggest:

Curren$y - Audio Dope II
Big KRIT - See Me On Top
TI - Yeah (Lil' Wayne's in it...[troll])
G-Side - Nat Geo

ALSO...

Fashawn - Manny Pacquiao
Freddie Gibbs - Str8 Killa No Filla
Das Racist - Hahahaha JK
