The Hip Hop Wars: What We Talk About When We Talk About Hip Hop--and Why It Matters

How hip hop shapes our conversations about race--and how race influences our consideration of hip hop Hip hop is a distinctive form of black art in America-from Tupac to the Pulitzer Prize-winning Kendrick Lamar, hip hop has long given voice to the African American experience. As scholar and cultural critic Tricia Rose argues, hip hop, in fact, has become one of the primary ways we talk about race in the United States. But hip hop is in crisis. For years, the most commercially successful hip hop has become increasingly saturated with caricatures of black gangstas, thugs, pimps, and hos. This b... [Read More]

Personnel: Common Sense (vocals); Tony Orbach (saxophone); Lenny Underwood (keyboards); Kenny Aaronson (bass); Twilite Tone, Tarsha Jones (background vocals); Immenslope, Rayshel.Producers: Immenslope, The Beat Nuts, Twilite Tone.The first album by Chicago MC Common, CAN I BORROW A DOLLAR?, is widely accepted in hip-hop's underground as a classic. Raw cuts like "Blows to the Temple" demonstrate why, and give listeners a glimpse at a legend in the making.With CAN I BORROW A DOLLAR?, a younger, more careless Common was simply out to demonstrate his talents to a nation obsessed with New York and L.A. rap. The lo-fi beat structure of the album is reminiscent of the music of the early '90s, when heavy jazz and funk influences dominated East Coast hip-hop. Though the disc is layered with gritty beats and samples that now seem familiar, they seem vibrant when put into context with other material of the same era. The Beatnuts offer one of their early productions on "Heidi Hoe," a track that may shock listeners who are used to Common's more reflective, socially aware lyrics of today. While certainly not his best work, die-hard fans won't be disappointed.

This is a continuous in-the-mix compilation featuring previously recorded tracks mixed by DJ Nabs.Well-known as a mix-show DJ in the south, Nabs first entered the national consciousness through his amazing pirate radio-style B-side re-mixes for southern hip-hop artists like Arrested Development and Kris Kross on their 12" releases ("Tennessee" and "Alright", respectively). Although giving lip service to his hometown of Durham, North Carolina, Nabs moved to Atlanta to become the resident DJ at Club Kaya's "Old School Sundays." With IN THE LAB Nabs re-enters the record biz with a mix-tape style compilation a la Funkmaster Flex.IN THE LAB is less of a showcase for hot artists and exclusive tracks than either Funk Flex's MIXTAPE (VOL. I & II) or other recent releases adopting the mixed-tape format (SOUNDBOMBING, HAZE PRESENTS NYC REALITY CHECK, etc.). It does feature interpolations of various stars' live appearances at Club Kaya (Big Daddy Kane, Wyclef Jean and Kurtis Blow, specifically), as well as studio tracks by Nabs proteges like Jagged Edge & Ludachris. The lion's share of the mix, however, is devoted to Nabs bringing his considerable skills to bear on a selection of guaranteed east coast true-skool party-rockers, with special attention paid to the golden era of Marley Marl's Juice Crew (Biz Markie, MC Shan, et al.).

Producers include: The LG Experience, Lorider, Reggie Noble, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Marley Marl.The first installment of this two-volume soundtrack is a promising collection for hip-hop fans from both the east and west coasts. NEW JERSEY DRIVE, VOLUME 1 deftly mixes the hottest emerging talents in rap, reggae and R&B, with new and old material from established, acclaimed artists, which means that there's something in it for everybody.The Garden State's own hip-hop hall-of-famers--Redman, Lords Of The Underground and Queen Latifah--lead the pack, proudly representing the 201. Appearances by Outkast ("Benz Or Beamer") and MC Eiht ("Ain't Nuttin' But Killin'") give the collection props with the rap underground; and is there anyone who can't get down with Maze & Frankie Beverly's classic "Before I Let Go"? Adding a little reggae flavor to the mix is newcomer Black Panta's pop dancehall groove, "Do What U Want." Sabelle's "Old Thing" slows down and mellows out the pace to a tune that is reminiscent of Guy's "Piece Of My Love," while Sean "Puffy" Combs' hot new group, Total, use a sample from James Brown's "The Payback" and a guest spot by the Notorious B.I.G. to deliver the collection's phattest track, "Can't You See."
