Quoteuptownkid I feel you on some of those Jimmy, but Bucktown and T.R.O.Y. used Sax samples (vice Horns). I see.... I was going under the assumption that sax counted as horn, but if not then fair play, I hereby withdraw my sax samples!by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
They Reminisce, surely? Bitches 2 Jazz (We Got The) (chorus horn loop) Bucktown 93 Til Infinity (horn stabs) It's quite difficult to find an early / mid 90s joint WITHOUT horns! haha! I loves my horn loops and stabs.by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
They're OK... I voted 3 cos I don't listen to them regularly and because when I have listened to them recently I've realised how that stiggedy stiggedy style was more gimmicky than I realised, even back then. To do one track in that style as a one-off - good. To make a career out of it - stretching it a bit IMO. Saying that, they did some classic tracks. They had some great remixesby Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Most Dilla albums are solid - The Shining is generally good, Donuts is one of the best albums ever released IMO (although not a rap album), Ruff Draft is good, Jaylib has got some great tracks on there...by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Right, here's my first attempt! 1. Fast Lane - Ed OG 2. The Good Fight - Phonte 3. The Red Carpet - Evidence ft Rarkwon + Ras Kass 4. Stop What You're Doin - Apathy + Celph Titled 5. Shiraz - Action Bronson 6. EWNESW - Danny Brown 7. Second Place - Royce Da 5'9" 8. Sam Jack - Statik Selektah 9.

That's it pretty much.... make a 2011 CD / playlist and post the tracklist here. Rules: tracks need to have been released in 2011 it needs to be no longer than 80 minutes (so we can fir it all on one CD)by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I'd go for a distillation of all of the above.... plus a couple of others. Action Bronson - Doctor Lecter Apathy - Honkey Kong (some of the bonus tracks were better than some of the tracks that made the official cut) Danny Brown - XXX Jehst - Dragon Of An Ordinary Family (some top notch UK stuff) Phonte - Charity Begins At Home (although I wasn't really feeling tby Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Here's the article - it's the first version, there's a lot to be changed and added to. The re-write is at least twice as long now. http://jimbojonesconveniencestore.blogspot.co.uk/2009/10/london-posse.htmlby Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Yeah man.... check your inbox! haha. This is getting a regular habit!by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I didn't read the whole thing, hahaha! I agree with you man, it's all good. People masking DJ drops? *SMH* Oh dear.by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Quoterchecka I gotta get more London Posse, can never find it at any stores around me. Seems like Hijack is always around from time to time, so I've copped a few of those but never see L.P's LPs. Dude, Hijack vinyl goes for silly money over here. The Horns Of Jericho album is particularly pricey, for some reason. Great album.by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Yeah man.... apart from a posse cut they were on (BROTHER - The 16th Parallel), I've got everything they ever released on original vinyl, and a lot of stuff they didn't release on MP3. I also wrote a biography of them that is currently being rewritten... and I'm semi-involved with the reissue of Gangster Chronicle this year.by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I don't watch TV any more unless the girls are watching it, so I tend to watch "Snog, Marry, Avoid" and "Extreme Makeover - Home Edition" However, I still have my DVD boxsets! So I watch them instead. What are your favourite TV shows? Columbo Scrubs The Wire Chappelle's Show Curb Your Enthusiasm MST3K (although this missus can't watch it, it'sby Jimmy Green - General Discussion
If it's a non-mixed compilation, then yeah, I would. Because it's no different to someone playing a track they got off a CD copy of an Ultimate Breaks And Beats. If it's mixed already, then no, because it's already been mixed. Take it back to the very basics - every piece of wax you own has been assembled / compiled by someone else so that you can access the music, so if a Dby Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Here you go folks.... the legendary London Posse freestyle from Tim Westwood's Capital Rap Show, back in 92.by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Nah man, I'm feeling her. This track and Hometown Glory are dope.by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
You might get a surprise in your inbox my friend. If you're on a UK tip, then what about London Posse? Absolute pinnacle of British rap, in my opinion.by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Yeah man, for sure.by Jimmy Green - General Discussion
Nice. Today been bumping ODB (Brooklyn Zoo on repeat) and Hijack - The Horns Of Jericho (original WEA release and repress with original versions of tracks that didn't make the official version).by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
I was bumping Little Brother - Chitlin Circuit 1.5 on the way to work, and on ehte way back I wastrying to listen to a really scratched CD of good hip hop from last year... the only tracks that played were The Red Carpet - Evidence, Raekwon + Ras Kass The Good Fight - Phonte Fast Lane - Ed OG Ah wellby Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Yo.... it's mad seeing all the names from the past! Uptown, RChecka, LES Lady, EyeGetzRaw, Jaysio, ...no sign of Red yet? All we need now is Mr Ed, xborn, JohnG and DonnyCash! I used to post up on OSHH as stupid_fresh, but forgot my password and the email account I used has been deleted. Now I'm on UKHH.com and DWG. And here. Good to see everyone!by Jimmy Green - General Discussion
Three stepkids, all girls - 8, 10 and 13. That's enough for us at the minute.by Jimmy Green - General Discussion
We've been going through a John Carpenter phase here at home - Assault On Precinct 13, Prince Of Darkness, They Live... I've seen them all many times before but the missus hasn't, and she's enjoying them immesnely (apart from Prince Of Darkness, which she said was the scariest film she'd ever seen).by Jimmy Green - General Discussion
I've just joined... dunno if that counts but I recognise a couple of names from the past - yo Uptown, yo Checka.by Jimmy Green - General Discussion
Yo Checka. Phillip Mlynar is an asshole... he used to write the most meandering bullshit for Hip Hop Connection like he was some kind of university thesis head or something. Professional troll who loves the attention.by Jimmy Green - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
