| Recommended If You Like thread - February 05, 2022 Posted: 05 Feb 2022 08:00 AM PST If you're looking for a recommendation give a description/music link/artist so that other people will know what you want. Example: "I want to hear an artist that sounds like old Kanye production" (you can get more specific but usually enough). And then someone will respond with recommendations X, Y, and Z. You can also leave a top level comment recommending an artist/project/scene that you think others might like if they like X, Y, and Z. Example: "You guys should check out DJ Mustard's mixtape Ketchup RIYL (recommended if you like) post-hyphy and minimalistic west coast beats" Remember, the point of this thread is to share music, try not to post stuff that's already really popular unless it answers someone's question. The more descriptive you guys are with your posts, the easier it is to help you find what you want. Just stating an artist's name isn't that helpful since you might only like one specific aspect of that artist's music. Previous RIYL posts submitted by /u/HHHRobot [link] [comments] |

| Positive interactions with Rappers Posted: 06 Feb 2022 08:48 AM PST We oftentimes talk about rappers and famous people when they do something uncool to fans but let's go another route in this thread. What's some dope experiences you've had meeting rappers? I'll start In 2012 GZA gave me the mic at a concert and let me do Deck's verse on triumph Last night Raekwon called me on stage while I was rapping my ass off to… triumph again haha. Did decks verse, he noticed me making it thru Meth and then Cappa's verse and called me on for U-Gods. Shit was surreal. Everyone says don't meet your idols but my idols are cool as fuck! I also have the hat that Ghostface wore during a concert. I couldn't make the show so he gave it my brother to give to me. What stories y'all got edit: here is a pic of the LS tattoo. A little faded after all the years but still my favorite I have https://imgur.com/a/Ds4SCiv Also can't believe I forgot this one - I saw Red & Meth at HOB Dallas and When meth did his crowdwalking thing (if you've seen him live you know what im talking about) he stopped with his front foot on my hand. I supported the vast majority of his weight while he did what felt like damn near a whole verse. That shit was was crazy too, it's like here is a dude that has supported me in life (even if he never knows it) and here I am literally supporting him. Magnetism. Thankfully I was a gym bro at the time so it wasn't too bad. I'd be hurtin if that happened now tho lmao submitted by /u/RamblinAbsurdist [link] [comments] |

| Syl Johnson, soul singer heavily sampled in hip-hop, dies at 85. The Chicago bluesman’s 1967 single “Different Strokes” has been used in tracks by Jay-Z and Kanye West, Public Enemy, Wu-Tang Clan, and more. Posted: 06 Feb 2022 10:57 AM PST Article: https://pitchfork.com/news/syl-johnson-soul-singer-heavily-sampled-in-hip-hop-dies-at-85/ Syl Johnson, the Chicago soul and blues singer who's 1967 single "Different Strokes" has become one of the most sampled songs in hip-hop, has died. Johnson's family confirmed the news in a statement to Pitchfork, but did not reveal the cause of death. "It is with extreme sadness that our family announces the passing of Soul & Blues Hall of Fame Legend, Syl Johnson (born Sylvester Thompson in Holly Springs, MS)," the statement reads. "Dad, Brother, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Uncle, Friend & Artist, he lived his life as a singer, musician, and entrepreneur who loved black music." Johnson was 85 years old. His death occurred less than a month after his brother and fellow musician Jimmy Johnson died at the age of 93. Syl Johnson was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi in 1936. He rose to prominence in the 1960s and '70s, cutting soul and blues records for Chicago label Twinight, which issued his 1968 debut Dresses Too Short. That album featured "Different Strokes," a relaxed funk number that would go on to be sampled by Public Enemy ("Fight the Power"), Wu-Tang Clan ("Shame on a N***a") Eric B. & Rakim ("I Know You Got Soul"), Jay-Z and Kanye West ("The Joy" [ft. Curtis Mayfield]), De La Soul ("The Magic Number"), and countless others. WhoSampled cites over 300 songs that utilize portions of Johnson's original, making it one of the most influential pieces of music in hip-hop. Widespread use of Johnson's "Different Strokes" occasionally led to copyright disputes. In 2011, Johnson filed a lawsuit against JAY-Z and Kanye West for using portions of his song in "The Joy" without proper clearance. The suit was settled the following year. Johnson had previously filed copyright infringement claims against Michael Jackson, Cypress Hill, and others for sampling his music without permission. While "Different Strokes" left an undeniable mark on popular music, Johnson continued recording for decades after its release. In 1970 he issued his sophomore LP, Is It Because I'm Black, followed by roughly a dozen studio albums including Back for a Taste of Your Love, Uptown Shakedown, Suicide Blues, Bridge to Legacy, and others. In 2010, Numero Group released a career-spanning box set of Johnson's work titled Complete Mythology featuring four CDs, six LPs, and an extensive booklet covering Johnson's impact on contemporary music. The release earned Johnson his first two Grammy nominations: for Best Historical Album and Best Liner Notes. In 2015, Johnson was the subject of a documentary titled Syl Johnson: Any Way the Wind Blows. The film included an original score by Yo La Tengo, and interviews with RZA, De La Soul's Prince Paul, Jonathan Lethem, and others. In their statement, Johnson's family referred to the late artist as a "fiery, fierce, fighter, always standing for the pursuit of justice as it related to his music and sound." The statement conitnued: "He will truly be missed by all who crossed his path. His catalog and legacy will be remembered as impeccable and a historical blueprint to all who experience it. To his fans around the world, he loved you all. A lover of music and a Chicago icon, Syl Johnson lived his life unapologetically."

| Who are the most imitated rappers right now? Posted: 06 Feb 2022 12:53 PM PST In hip-hop right now, I'd say Travis Scott and Young Thug. I think there are rappers with bigger impacts (Kanye, Drake, Eminem) and then artists with bigger cultural influence (Tyler, Wayne, Chief Keef) but when it comes to younger artists trying to sound like someone else and ripping off styles, there are so many Thug and Travis soundalikes, and some of them get really popular doing it. I won't name names, but you all probably know exactly who I'm talking about. submitted by /u/xxxcobain420 [link] [comments] |
