    DJ Hi-tek, El-p and DJ spinna speak in-dpeth

    If you don't love hip-hop music, stop reading right now. It's not the type of genre that's friendly to poseurs hopping on the bandwagon. The reason is mainly that hip-hop is more than just music; it's a culture and a way of life. If you're not living this life, it will show up in your music and...

    Why Do so many "Real Hiphop" heads diss keyboard beats?

    circa 1994, greatest year in hip hop?

    i think from 89 to 94 was the golden eara of rap cause during that period more hip hop classics were produced than any other period in the history of rap. some of the albums that came out redifined modern music as a whole as well as setting new standards and trends within rap music (hip hop...

    Why Do so many "Real Hiphop" heads diss keyboard beats?

    many producers use keyboards like the ASR-10, and Triton and still combine sampling to give the warmth and soul that hip hop fans love examples can be found in peeps like jay dee, and kankick. I think it would be foolish to dissmiss a producer of not being real because he uses a keyboard or...
