how do u find underground hip hop music?
okay im really into every type of music
but im in love with hip hop
ive been dancing since i was 2 and just love it
but i like the hip hop that a lot of people dont really know
for example the ones that are in the movie step up 2
they had such good songs that they battled to and more
and other more hip hop movies [if that makes sense]
and my dance teachers find all these good songs that we listen to in class and one of my teachers make remix cds for us sometimes and i jsut dont know how he gets such good songs and like i said before not very well known
so i just have to search for them?
how do u get the notice on good songs like that
not the gay stuff on the radio
thanks so much
i mostly like songs that have a good beat
i dont really care about lyrics
[please dont get mad]
its just im a dancer and thats what i look out for
for example timbaland – bounce
the beat is AMAZING
i know timbaland is no underground guy but jsut so u get a feel of what im looking for
Really you’ve got to search through web sites until you find one that doesn’t even mention chart hip hop. Find a Good Record store you know the indie ones with knowledgable staff in it. They’ll put you on to good beats & rhymes. Also and as it is such a global thing these days Myspace. Find a Hip Hop Group you like and check out their Myspace chances are their friends are other underground Musicians like themselves. Bounce from Myspace page to Myspace page and listen to their sound. Also you could try and find some good Hip Hop Magazines not the big names but other more independant ones and they should have good groups(street press is often a good source).
Good Luck with the everlasting quest.

Diplomatic Immunity $7.77 Thanks to Cam’ron Giles and his Dip Set crew, Harlem gains a major foothold in the East Coast battle of the boroughs sparked by Jay-Z and Nas. Layering raw rhymes over street beats that frequently incorporate speeded-up and dragged-out R&B samples (courtesy of the Heatmakerz), Diplomatic Immunity extends the massive heat generated by Killa Cam’s platinum Come Home With Me.

Hip-Hop Poetry and the Classics $16.17 Hip-Hop’s literary and artistic merits are evident when compared to classic poetry and it’s easy to link the great poets of the past to the contemporary Hip Hop poets of today: compare Robert Frost to Public Enemy, Shakespeare to Eminem, and Shelley to the Notorious B.I.G. This interactive workbook-style format is fun for teachers and students, as it illuminates the art of the written word with in… |

Check the Technique: Liner Notes for Hip-Hop Junkies $10.60 This new one from Brian Coleman is tagged as “an updated and hugely expanded edition of the underground classic Rakim Told Me,” but Check The Technique is really a book unto itself. Yes, 15 of the 36 chapters are taken from RTM, but the new material here is more than worth the price tag. ($16.95 for 500 pages – not too shabby.) Here, Coleman takes you behind the standard production credits found o… |

Making Beats: The Art of Sample-Based Hip-Hop (Music Culture) $15.55 Despite having created one of the most important musical cultures of the last fifty years, hip-hop composers who use digital sampling are rarely taken seriously as artists.
