Hakk's Real Hip Hop thread, mostly old school

[Troll-ol]

Lots of these song's I have never even heard of before, maybe that's because I was still a sperm while these guys were making records?

[Hakkola]

Music for earthworms!

I have a lot of memories driving with this song, very random.



Driving in the winter years ago, a quiet Dec or Jan night, at the lights on southland and elbow, this song playing and gigantic snowflakes calmly falling to the ground.

^Yeah. Some of the guys are dead, some groups haven't been around for awhile, but quite a few are making music still, there are probably some solo artists that came from a few of these groups that you know.

I was going to post another video but this window has been open for like 2 hours and I forgot what it was.

^^yea, Labor Days is a classic record.

This song was huge when i was in high school. it's funny now, the video looks so "mid-90s alternative"

I thought this was the coolest/weirdest video when I was a kid (they must've been playing it on MTV mid-80s):

[Hakkola]

Big fan of arrested development, can't believe I left them out. They came to Calgary a few years ago, was with some folk festival which was strange.

[Troll-ol]

I'm young enough that this is the kind of stuff i grew up listening to.

Nice guys. Love Express Yourself, I always laugh at what they say though, don't smoke weed? HAH. Song is classic though.
