Music listening habits

What's everyone listening to? I've listening to a lot of Meshuggah, Shadows Fall, HIM, and Mr. Bungle lately, especially when I work out

 

Old school hip-hop. Recently, mostly G-Funk and Mobb Music. Shit like Warren G, Above the Law, Vontel, SCC, Paris, lil 1/2 Dead etc.. Also early hip-hop from like 79-83.

 

I remember them back in the 90s. I didn't (and still don't) listen to alot of rap then, but I rememeber liking SCC and Above the Law. I will say the West Coast was where it was at in the 90s

 

stuff thats danceable ^__^. Everything from hyphy and detroit booty to old time jazz stuff, pop music and house.

 

Ma, I gotta hear that hyphy shit all the time down here. So many kids try to be cool with that shit.

 

Damn straight. Above the Law's shit was blowin' up on The Box back in the day.

 

Here it's uncommon. The only club that plays that stuff that I know of is a club with a circustheme, where the crowd is arty queer ppl. In other words, we are silly ironic while listening to it. (...and drunk)

 

Scylla,I had been to the club Fasching in Stockholm. They have Soul Saturday where the dj plays r&b and funk music.

 

I never go out in stockholm, its a boring city.. and way way far away from here. But yeah, funk and r&b you can find in most cities.

 

How boring is Stockholm? I had been to the city every year. I love to know why since there is always something I don't know about. I had not seen a lot of Swedes who party hard there from my memories of past visits.

 

LOL Cold187um on the MFs. Old school all the way.

 

Man, just been listening to a lot of 80s R&B/soul i.e. marvin gaye, frankie beverly&maze, lionel ritchie, sade, freddie jackson etc. ah, the days!!!

In reference to scylla and Brotha Ajax... what's hyphy music?!

 

oh its a subgenre of rap music that started in the early to mid 90s in the bay area (oakland-san francisco area) by a rapper named keak da sneak. the words just means "hyper", not literally i dont think, but something like that.

 

love hip-hop, rap, rnb, latino, arabic, gypsy and some of russian music of course!

 

Pretty much it, but most people claim it's Oakland. Also asscoiated with hyphy(hyper and crazy I think it is) are sideshows and popping thizz(ecstacy), going dumb, and generally being care free. Lots of kids do it to be cool. I hear a lot of supposedly "real hyphy people" who don't like all the bandwagoners jumping on the hyphy train, and some people criticize E-40 for exploiting hyphy. The buzz had died down nationwide, but still crackin' down here in Cali......unfortunately.

This shit is trash.

 

For Y'all Above the Law fans, the originators of G-Funk, NOT Dr. Dre.

Best G-Funk EVER. Bottom line. Can't fuck with Cali when it comes to makin' chill ass beats.

And for the SCC fan.

Jay Z - Brooklyn Go Hard​

New Jay Z track featuring Santogold, produced by Kanye. For the Biggie movie.

The Santogold looping sample sounds too much like Swagga Like Us (MIA).

But I like this song.

 

It was pretty cool. Wasn't feeling the style of production too much. I like sampling in hip-hop, but it's just Kanye's style I usually don't feel.
