he said opp which kind of gets it but i think is too old and sorta toothless to be the end-all of rap, i'll have to think about what would be better though

― trife (simon_tr), Monday, 23 June 2003 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Think of it as a sliding scale. In 1993 you might have said that, but what would you say now?

Mate it's hard to pick just one track! But for me it'd have to be "F*** The Police" by NWA.

― trife (simon_tr), Monday, 23 June 2003 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Something on Def Jux

jurassic 5, because i know that it would piss off trife!

I dunno about a sliding scale: I said OPP because right now it strikes me as a good one-track midpoint between a bunch of different hip-hop eras and styles, pop and not, etc.

icy hot stuntaz!

"Ninja Rap"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 23 June 2003 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

"Make Em Say Unh"

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 23 June 2003 01:51 (twenty-two years ago)

thats a good choice!!! a posse cut, nice lineup, fiend and silkk repping for average mcs, mia x with the raunchy female steez, mystikal going bananas on the bball net, nasssty synth brass, good jokes, zeitgeisty chorus

― trife (simon_tr), Monday, 23 June 2003 01:56 (twenty-two years ago)

if def jux was meant as a serious choice instead of just fucking with me, dude why!! dont you think thats leaving a lot of hiphop underrepresented?!!!

― trife (simon_tr), Monday, 23 June 2003 01:57 (twenty-two years ago)

i mean even an obvious 'joke' answer like ninja rap says a LOT more about hiphop than def jux

― trife (simon_tr), Monday, 23 June 2003 01:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay something from before it all went wrong

― Andy K (Andy K), Monday, 23 June 2003 02:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Ghostface's "Nutmeg", but only if the aliens are evil and you want to convince them that earthlings are not to be fucked with

The one problem is that then they'll want to know who Bruce Lee is

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Monday, 23 June 2003 02:08 (twenty-two years ago)

surely the ideal ghost track would be winter warz or wu banga 101!!! or wildflower ha ha

― trife (simon_tr), Monday, 23 June 2003 02:12 (twenty-two years ago)

"Adventures of Grandmaster Flash" The aliens will infer the rest from there.

"Fuck You", that Pharoahe Monch one.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Monday, 23 June 2003 09:30 (twenty-two years ago)

'fight the power' because it pretty much covers all bases (attitude, relentless energy, politically conscious and with a pinch of acerbic wit, scratching and a dope hook of course)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:33 (twenty-two years ago)

its not sexy tho i guess...i'd have to play the aliens a mash-up of 'fight the power' and 'hot in herre' perhaps

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:34 (twenty-two years ago)

wild wild west or pac man jam

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:34 (twenty-two years ago)

'nuthin' but a g thang' then they wouldn't only understand hip hop they'd understand like all 90s pop too!

― pete b. (pete b.), Monday, 23 June 2003 10:46 (twenty-two years ago)

i vote for either "Burn Hollywood Burn" or, the song with one of the greatest titles EVAR: "War at 33 1/3"

or ODB. Whole album.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Monday, 23 June 2003 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

which one?

― robin (robin), Monday, 23 June 2003 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)
