Em.ay.ar (formally Technical)

WHAT?

OMFG it's Tech rising from the dead???

Haha, anyways. So I've noticed that there are 3 songs that make use of the sample from the song "What Love Is Made Of" by The Sylvers.

These songs are:

"Loyalty" by Blue Scholars

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3AMaehGp5M

"All That You Are" by The Foreign Exchange

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3TPGfCz5LM

"Can't Break" by Prince Ali

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5IizBCTd74

Like the question says, which one of these artists made better use of this sample?

As much as I like the Foreign Exchange track, I'm just plain in love with the Blue Scholars version, don't know why, but I just seem to like that version a whole lot more.

I'm in need of a bigger friend roster on Smash bros. brawl

Hit me up, my brawl FC is 1290 1961 4485, my user name is Tech.

Just a quick note, I main Pit and Yoshi :D

I need some online action for smash bros brawl, random battles don't cut it.

So put me on your friends roster, my FC is 1290 1961 4485, the name is "Tech"

Give me yours if your interested :)

or

Common Market?

Do you think Sabzi works better with Geologic (BS) or Ra Scion (CM)?

I never really see much of the Asian community in hip-hop music today. Excluding Geologic from Blue Scholars and Jin, does anyone know of any good asian MC's/producers in hip-hop?

Ones I know of include Shing02 & Nujabes.

Based off a joke question I asked yesterday during the prom crash

Who's better, Andy Milonakis or Soulja Boy?

For those of you who don't know who Andy Milonakis is:

However, keep in mind that Andy knows that he sucks and doesn't take his rapping seriously.

Whenever a big hip-hop icon kicks the bucket, other artists always pay homage in one way or another.

What is your favorite song that pays tribute to a dead artist?

Mine: Skyzoo's tribute to J Dilla

I think he's the best ever

If I sniff cocaine and read the bible in the same day?

That God and Jesus hate hip-hop?

Then how do you explain Christian Rap?

Just found this, a new video from Talib Kweli for the track "Eat To Live"

Thoughts?

This place is dead right now, so maybe this could help liven it up a little bit.

Let's do a freestyle collab, no more than 4 lines per person. Can be about anything, but the first line has to take off from the last line of the previous verse. we can keep this organized by having the first few answerers reseserve their spot, then write their 4 lines afterwards, so there's no confusion.

I'll start...

I'm lazy, so damn bored my mind is becoming hazy

I feel like if I don't do something I might end up goin crazy

Am I insane to think silence makes more moise than surround sound?

The solution is found, clown around to bring this place back on the rebound

...Favorite 9th Wonder remix?

Seems like whatever this dude touches turns to diamond, he can remix any track and make it twice as good.

What are some of the best remixes from 9th?

Just a simple question, how has hip-hop changed your life? What did it do for you?

Hip-hop got me into poetry and creative writing. I also got more interested in literature. It's also my source of sanity, like my escape from reality.

Who ever heard this dude?

I think he's pretty ill, I feel his laid-back style of music.

RHH Question: How many hip-hop CD's do you have in your collection?

Name one hip hop song and one non-hip hop song that you'd like to remake.

For hip hop, I'd remake Nas' "It Ain't Hard To Tell"

For the non-HH song, I'd remake Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" into a hip hop version

I need some help, I heard a couple of tracks from Glue, and I really liked what I heard

Problem is I know these guys are completely underground so I've been having some trouble finding more work from them.

If anyone knows any other tracks from them, I'd like it if you shared some :D

This is the one of the only tracks I know from Glue:

To everyone in RHH, what are some songs you feel are best used to describe a b*tch @$$ hater?

I wanna know cuz I'm dealing with a lot of cases of bitchassness, and I need some songs to throw in these peoples' faces :D

Let's try this a second time, taking from Hip hop rent-a-cop's thread
