Loter, if you like Daylight, you should check out Blockhead's stuff (he produced most of Aesop's early stuff, including Daylight). If you liked the production on Labor Days, all of Blockhead's stuff sounds really similar, and it's all really good.
I'm surprised I've not seen any Eric B and Rakim, any Kool Moe Dee...back in the day they were the shit.
Here's something you chaps may never have heard of...
Anyone who can sound gangster yet reference Ms. Pac Man and Cookie Monster is clearly a lyrical genius. :)
My buddy Jordan knew one of the guys, Malice...guy said he was the real thing. Really would go to the studio and record, then get back to his corner and flip some rocks. But now he's rich, so he's living the good life.
It's a rarity that these "gangster rappers" who talk all this shit are real. Most claim to murder thousands yet aren't all in prison....which makes no sense. I mean, if you're confessing on the song, and they're driving in Maseratis, it's not like any prosecutor can't figure out where they're at....
DJ Green Lantern & Jadakiss - The Champ is here
One of the most def beats of all time.
- Right where you stand, probably Kiss's best lyrics.
"He ain't gonna do nothing but look, when it comes to beef he ain't gonna do nothin' but cook" always makes me laugh.
And one of the best DJ's ever, DJ Danger Mouse, with the Grey Album, which is the Beatle's White album remix of Jay-Zs Black Album. For any hiphop fan, this is a must see.
As far as remixing Jay-Z's Black Album goes, Cheap Cologne's DOUBLE BLACK (which mixes it with Metallica's Black album) is way better than that Beatles bullshit.
