colossus - the tribute

I'm loving these tracks.. When jazz and rap met in 1993 it was the greatest time for hip hop.. I dont hear any jazz beats in hip-hop anymore.. so this albums is awesome to me.. im glad i stumbled across it.. recent jazz/rap either the jazz is dope and the raps are weak or the jazz is weak and the raps are dope.. but this album they are both top quality..

if you are a fan of jazz/rap like I am.. check out this new artists colossus.. you can listen to the tracks from his album at this website http://www.om-records.com/colossus.html awesome! im definitely getting the album it comes out october 24.. its 2 discs 1 more jazz version the 2nd more hip-hop ... :2thumbs: Existing in a chilled-out space between Roy Ayers and Digable Planets circa Blowout Comb, West Oaktown is indeed cool like that." - URB "Bring it! Techno-organic jazz-hop has met its master in Colossus, whose music sounds like a mutant-powered, sonic version of the Marvel X-Men character." - Eric K. Arnold, XLR8R "Scat-rapping, laid back funk, shimmering speakeasy jazz, crispy slow-gaited percussion. It's like the Roots remaking Organix, but with actual chops this time. Or Yesterday's New Quintet playing only the Bluest Notes from the most Digable Planets. Stones Throw is kicking themselves in the wolf mask for missing this." - FILTER "Those pining for the 90’s vibe, the comfort zone where jazz and hip hop commingle, will get with this. Consistency and depth are your confidants for this two-disc set (the second cd being a strong offering of imaginative remixes)." – Straight No Chaser Magazine "I absolutely love the album, I can't stop playing it. The vibe is deep and funky as hell. It is really awsome." – Laurent Garnier "Fat as f..@k beats and swooping bass roll deep into hip-hop as rich as Main Source and a sliced'n'diced band sound not too far away from Duke Ellington in his Blanton/Webster prime. Sureplayer / Absolute brilliance." – 5 / 5 DJ Magazine

theres still room for more teams! :stickpoke:

According to moviehole.net Will Smith is apparently signing on to do an episode of the next season of "Extras". I saw this season.. the first 2 episodes were average the third episode was one of the funniest things ive seen this year, and the rest were really good.. Its good to see Will signing on should be hilarious :rockon:

it says "tune in with" and click on the winamp button..and it will open the radio stream for you :2thumbs:

nomination for craziest pic ever for julies :lolsign: :lolsign:

yeah I found my favorite artists and i like them.. I ain't mad at 50 or any of them because they are successful.. ima just stick to what i like..I think there is room for everyone and all different types of artists..at the moment we are only seeing one kind on the commercial front..but if you wanna find good music all you have do is look it is out there.. :word:

jims playin this big L track on the radio..nice :2thumbs:

i just realized jazzy jeffs remix of i wish i made that sampled an ultramagnetic mcs track..now i just gotta figure out which one.. anybody know? :stickpoke:

interesting stuff ted :bowdown:

once you have downloaded winamp..and installed the shoutcast plugin.. you need to go to Options_Preferences Click on DSP/Effect under plugins Click on the shoutcast plugin and then click "configure active plugin"

well yeah the message..defined what hip hop was about :bowdown:

theres no way i'd buy an album that is 22 minutes long.. unless it was the price of a single.. come on now? :shakehead: :shakehead:

okay guys give me a day topm u all the details.. actually sonic could you PM me what i sent you ive lost that that would help tim

I dont think when they were making rappers delight or walk this way there was any thought of dumbing down.. no1 knew those tracks would be successful.. it was when rap became a commercial commodity..record labels started to notice and interfere.. i'd say it was the early 90s when they started//it was the mid 90s 94/95 when labels really upped the pressure starting to force artists to make sure they had a hit record.. it happened before then..but i think thats when it became more widespread.. and subsequently a heap of artists ended up getting dropped around 93/94/95 ..cause they didnt go pop :1-say-yes: today if you sign to a label its like signing you're soul to the devil :sick:

I think a track like "players ball" is so much better than there recent stuff.. :word:

the original is cheryl lynn got to be real
