wheres the hip hop?

so one of my favorite things about hip hop is that much of the music out there samples existing music to make the loops.

on the surface it sounds like a cheap trick, right? but i adore it. chopping dope music into fresh cuts, sometimes just boiling down the essence of a track into a few of its best few seconds, then creating fractal patterns out of it. and boy can it come from anywhere!

But over the years i've really started becoming a junkie for finding the source tracks and have found a couple good ones lately, a lot of these are sampled all over the place and if you got a good ear you may well recognize some of these. I'm now solidly into old du-wop, 30's swing, 50's soul, psychadelic rock, afro-cuban / salsa jazz, 70's r&b, and more.

And I thank hip hop for that for sure, because I never would have come across much of this let alone started digging for it otherwise.

for example heres an easy one maybe many of you have heard from the late and great j dilla - epic track!
well here's the source!

some other tracks i've really grown to like
recognized tons of samples in here i've heard all over the place
I know this track is based on something from 'earth wind and fire' but i forget the track name

well i bought some beats over a year ago and I'm now finally working on collaborating with a dude i used to feature with here and there.

Been a while since i put the pen to pad but I'm starting to feel inspired again! Started firing these off last night and feeling like I'm gonna get back into my zone.

This one's for sure going to a booth sometime:


Once I check that bass and kick..

I can’t sit the fuck down, I gets to pacing quick
And If I’m stuck my minds racing
Keeping pace, calm thoughts will get the bait and switch

Get evasive, stop homeostasis
Affecting crops and vegetation
Best to get acquaint
ed with these rap equations

Plaintiff
coming at me with the facts, but I’m not persuaded
I guess it depends on the defense’s best interpretation

Ab
solutely… Yall can judge but I ain’t Judy
Set the record
straight and get unruly
Just to dis
cover who the fuck is gonna sue me

These youngin fools - what you gonna do, puffing juuls and tucking tools?
Just doesn’t cut the mustard to me

Had to learn to hustle but it’s not the struggle, dude
Put some trouble to the puzzle, come back to get rebuttals to me

But quit the pitter patter, I’m equipped to spit a little faster
Acquitted after the jibber jabber
, peep the literature

Its not the rapture but my winds affecting weather patterns
With a wider bandwidth fatter than the rings of Saturn

Don’t try it kid - it’ll be a big disaster
Like frying atoms in your head and stripping plasma

Try me you’ll get senile and geriatric.....
Ah fuck it though lets see what happens

______________________________________________________________
I like the direction of this one and will be a good one to feature with:

Got you looking nauseas, wave my hands like I got cerebral palsy
No audience, but my efforts have been exhaustive
Put a pause to your claim to fame, it’s fake like those are high exalted
Destroy your faulted faith like Richard Dawkins

Get you sucked in like Stephen Hawking
Radiation
I’m a collection of genes this ain’t me talking

But that IS you sweatin’
Odds are heavily stacked against you – why you betting?
Like attemping fentanol while I get you the straight dope
You gotta cut it out before you lose all hope

Go for ya own insteada mine I bet you all choke
I got the gift of gab, you’ve shit your pants like a snotnose
You’re gonna flop, bro. (to lil wayne) If getting shots part of your story,
It only proves that you got plot holes

_____________________________________________________________
* While asserting lyrical dominance almost never gets old, its too open to just rhyming whatever the hell you want and having a loose context to tie it all together. Some ill patterns, puns, picking at a weak imaginary opponent. Frankly, its old school underground, even though that's what I live for lol.
The real challenge is finding a way to maintain that while keeping more on a specific topic.
I don't come from an especially rough background though we all have our hardships. As an artist I hope to bring to light 'dope subjects' that fascinate me as well as pick at the scabs of society. I also gotta learn how to tell a story.
One cool thing about hip hop is, you have a LOT of space to work with from bar to bar; i.e., any line may have 2-5X as many syllables as a traditional sung song. So you can really get some material across. Another challenge still is being able to boil down that material into flow, rhyme patterns, and for fucks sake, the context and substance. Sometimes you have a simple point to get across but maybe it can be done in 5 words but you got a whole bar to fill out to keep the flow moving.

Something about space I made in 10 minutes. Kinda cool IMO, but the flow sounds boring in my head and not too interesting.


Hard to fathom I’m made of molecules and atoms
My brain operates on electric synapses
Meanwhile the time passes
My universe expanding
From the big bang outward and never will collapse
Shit howd we get these facts, the mass is massive
We can see the background radiation on the map
And track it
Amazing how the stars break down and recycle
And that’s the main reason we can all see the lightshow
So we’re the universes way of perceiving itself?
Hard to believe our greedy genes aren’t teeming with self
Preservation cause we bite that hand that feeds us
By mining all materials to build walls between us
It seems facetious, who wrote the thesis?
I feel it intravenous in my genus
So much more that space can teach us
And going to Mars is less prestigious
Really its science fiction
We hope for miracles like the Christians
but really its just wishful thinking
Noone listens and theres nobody out there
Or is there, stroke my chinny chin hairs…


____________________________________________________
Or here's one with a more exciting flow and rhymescheme, and its about how our economic driven society controls our minds. A little more up the alley of underground hip hop.
Not polished by any means but mostly there


I’m not a genius
But I see the reasons we treat weaknesses
... Built in conveniences
Easy to please ya with

Cheat diseases with teas when we sneeze and shit
Believe everything that we see
On tv and media feeds
Immediately feed

Never hungry we weak when fasting
Day or work need some frys and cheese in a bag quick
Even if I catch an artery fast gotta have it so,

Pardon me lad
I wanna be a part of the fad
I’m peeping articles and
I’m constantly Bombarded with ads
I can’t be tardy so please take my hardly earned cash
For cars weekly and better gardens for mags
Shit’s 10% off who can argue with that?
No bartering. I’m charging like mad
Yes I’m targeted, and?

Commercials half the episode, regarded as drab
And the billboards everywhere that I pass
I’m aware that I’ve passed
All my information to various masks
Which grows my spam box like a bacterial mass
Can’t find the spam bots on the aerial map
But they everywhere controlling the proletariat class

Once I realized while veering the scene
Its nothing but a big ass conspiracy scheme
Feeding ya dreams, taking every single thing
Ya want it if its glittering, or sizzling,
