Nothing wrong with certain forms of hiphop. Try checking out early De La Soul, Jurassic 5, Blackalicious or Roots stuff. Some of you might be pleasantly surprised.Quote:

Of course, if your favourite bands are REO Speedwagon or The Eagles this might not be your cup of tea.
I do however agree that most Rap is rubbish. People like Eminem, 50 Cent etc being solely in the business to make the big bucks. Just don't confuse these kinds of rappers with hiphop artist that were genuinly trying to create something new and refreshing.
I must admit that I quite like him, so it can't be real flip-flop. :)Quote:

I never listen to it anymore,I think some people confuse Rnb with Hip Hop
as on some of the tracks they have a Rap solo.
Straight Out of Compton by NWA, I was like 7 or 8 years old when it came out, but it really didn't hit the eastcoast until the early 90's. Classics like "Fuck tha Police" and "Gangsta Gangsta" inspired me to hit the streets and embrace the gangster lifestyle that comes with it. Luckily I went through that phase before I could serious prison time as a young adult.

If we are talking hip-hop then these are some of the most influential albums of all time (from my era).

Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by English progressive rock group Pink Floyd, released in September 1975. Inspired by material they composed while performing across Europe, it was recorded over numerous sessions at London's Abbey Road Studios. The album explores themes of absence, the music business, and former band-mate Syd Barrett's mental decline. Early sessions were a difficult and arduous process but it was Roger Waters' idea to split the centrepiece track "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" in two, and join each half with three new compositions. "Shine On" was a tribute to Barrett, who, in an ironic twist, made an impromptu visit to the studio while it was being recorded. The band failed initially to recognise Barrett, who had gained weight and changed in appearance.
As in their previous work, The Dark Side of the Moon, the band made use of studio effects and synthesizers. Roy Harper was a guest vocalist on "Have a Cigar". The album packaging, again designed by Storm Thorgerson, featured an opaque black sleeve inside which was hidden the album artwork. Wish You Were Here premièred at Knebworth in July 1975, and was released in September that year. It was an instant success; record company EMI was unable to print enough copies to satisfy the demand. Initially receiving mixed reviews, the album has since been voted to the 209th place on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Band members Richard Wright and David Gilmour have each declared Wish You Were Here their favourite Pink Floyd album.
I still remember playing "Careful with that axe, Eugene" very loudly at a party whilst we were all under the acid influence
Amazing
