For those of you who remember Hip Hop before the corporate take over, if you remember when Hip Hop made you feel hope and love not greed and hate, you'll be happy to know about two places where it's alive and well.First off:http://www.hiphopphilosophy.com/24-hour hip hop without the attitude. Old skool, classic, authentic and from the LBC booyyyeee. Read the manifesto and vision on their site. Here's a slice: "The concepts have been, and are, the evolving manifestation of man&women's revolutionary spirit (the need/desire to do something positive, and/or ‘fresh’, with one’s life, in this negative, self-destructive environment/world we live in); which is the birthplace of all forms of Hiphop." I have been jonseing for this since 1990 when the OLD K-Day AM was on the air.Second stop: http://www.myspace.com/kamikaziairlines All I know is that some cool people I trust are involved in this project..including Dizzy Dustin from Ugly Duckling and they've got some cool tracks lined up for you to hear on their site. Listen, these bands are big in UK but it seems USA doesn't quite get it yet. That's the way I remember punk rock to be and drum and bass and hell, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, British Rock Invasion. Why wait? Go check it out today and holla back if you love it.
