I'm a little lost on this thread. I thought most of stuff mentioned on
this list was hip hop. Well, maybe not the d 'n' b, lounge, or straight
up jazz stuff, but the rest? I'm sure someone will set me straight. Is it
the rap or what? I tire quickly of the monotone raps unless the message
is meaningful (whatever that means). One of my favorites to come along in
recent times is the Sharpshooters "choked up" album. Good variety in the
vocals. And where's my "brass hop" album by Coolbone? Let me listen to
that again. Isn't that hip hop? I've said this before: they're an
underrated group. Great horns put more "hip" in the hop.
