Most of you probably know by now that Nas plans to title his new album "Nigga." Everyone from civil rights leaders to radio DJs have been debating Nas's decision.
Inspired by this, I'm posting two tracks for Hip-Hop Thursday that speak directly to what I hope Nas will accomplish on his new album. First up, is a classic Tribe song that deals with the word:

Sterfish posted this track just a short time ago but I'm bringing it up again to ask y'all what the sample is in the song. Now in looking through the album liners, I see many samples credited, but not this one, even though it provides the bed for almost all the choruses (It's a guitar(maybe keyboard?)figure,starting about 15 seconds in)If you are a music biz legal person,a producer, or just happen to know, can you tell me how TCQ can get away without giving writing credit?...

That's right, my hip-hop track today is a classic from A Tribe Called Quest.
Midnight Marauders, the album that "Electric Relaxation" came from, remains my favorite Tribe Called Quest album if only because it's the first one I ever bought (I did eventually buy their first two, though). It's also the last of the “great” Tribe albums.
The two albums that followed weren't bad but they looked a little lackluster compared to the three albums that preceded them.

There's been a lot of debate about the word. You know THE word. The infamous "N" word. Me? I use it. I judge it by the context it's used in. And in the following context, it's pure hilarity! This has got to be the funniest thing I've ever seen on South Park.

See, and I was finished posting for today, but...let's talk about classics. I think I'll post the mp3 too. You've gotta have good sound quality to really appreciate how great this beat is.

Classic old skool jazz inflected rap. Could it get any cooler? Love me some Q-Tip with his smooth, sexy flow. "Electric Relaxation" is the song:

My musical tastes always just switch back and forth between fast upbeat bitchy ska like Big D and hte Kids Table and streetlight and aquabats and all that, or laid back hip hop of the likes of A Tribe Called Quest and Ugly Duckling and Jurassic 5. There is no consistancy or reason why I feel like one over the other at any given time. Hip hop makes me feel relaxed and chilled out and gangsta, but ska makes me feel energetic and happy with the world.
