    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

    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) :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
