I also love “Remind my soul” by Akrobatik and “Hip Hop” by Dead Prez – both good tracks for the deeper cultural references connected to the genre. You’d probably also like a track called, “You got me” (featuring Erykah Badu) by The Roots. And, if you like Lauryn Hill, she does a duet with Nas on a track called, “If I ruled the world” on his album, “It was written”. Stand out tracks include, “The World is Yours” and “One Love”. You could also try Nas’s Illmatic – a classic 90’s hip hop album. It is probably one of my most favourite hip hop albums. And I don’t think it’s overly gratuitously sweary for the sake of it. I think if you’re starting off with no real experience of the genre other than The Score, I think a good album to try next would be Mos Def’s, “Black on both sides.” Especially because it’s melodic and uses quite a lot of samples. On one hand, their eclectic musical and lyrical points of reference posit them in the De La Soul/Basehead organic school, but they hold fiercely to the braggadocio/'sucka MC' tradition that is at the roots of rap. The Score is the complete hip-hop album for the mid '90s. I am a massive music fan and know a fair few (but by no means all) of the albums you have listened to so far. You know how they say 'You can't have it all' Well, the Fugees have come remarkably close to turning that truism on its head. I’m following your musical reviews with interest. Does she have more than one solo album? Are there other Fugees albums I should check out, with the knowledge that Lauryn Hill is probably my favorite thing about them? Seriously, guys, I don’t know where to start with this new musical interest, but I think I want to hear more. I know she has at least one CD (thank you, part-time high school job at Circuit City, for the hours of alphabetizing CDs that allow me to seem to know anything at all about music), but I can only picture one CD cover. Really, any time Lauryn Hill opened her mouth on the album, I was happy. I was also a big fan of the sampling, especially of “I Only Have Eyes for You” in “Zealots.” It was a really appropriate pairing, both musically and thematically. The chorus is really beautiful and her verse is easily the most powerful in the song. My favorite song on the album was easily “Ready or Not,” thanks almost entirely to Lauryn Hill.
Does anyone have advice on other hip hop albums I should listen to? I’m officially soliciting recommendations. I really want to hear more of both genres. Along with classical instrumentation, this represents a genre I had virtually no exposure to before this project.
Fugees the score skits terible full#
I’ve never listened to a full hip hop album before and I’m really glad that I have now.
I really liked that the album made me uncomfortable.
I really like violence in movies and in sports and I don’t get queasy at violence on the news, but there was something about how much more personal this hypothetical violence was that burrowed into my stomach and made me anxious and extremely uncomfortable. There was a lot of talk about defecation and violence that made me uncomfortable. Still, I’ll start with what I didn’t like. I felt like a total poser when I was doing it, but I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t stop tapping my feet and nodding my head. Kind of sounds like (limited to bands I’ve heard, so probably a terrible comparison): I have no basis for comparison.
