[Don Seer]

UK folx, Channel 4 are running a Rap Top 10 thing tonight after the new big brother.

Flavor Flav and Mark Lamarr present a guide to the best artists in the world of rap. Featured artists include the Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, De La Soul, LL Cool J, MC Hammer, Public Enemy, Puff Daddy and Tupac Shakur

hmm gimme some more West Coast shit please!

[Hittman]

That is exactly what I was thinkin when I saw it in the newspaper. Though atleast it has got Tupac. I wonder wheter N.W.A will be in it and why the hell is LL Cool J and MC Hammer on it, I knwo thay were meant to be goo back in the old days but there just crap lets face it, they are crap.

You can't expect Channel 4 to produce an accurate Top 10. It'll just be all hits "Gangsta's Paradise", "You Can't Touch This" etc....

[Don Seer]

i dunno.. 'the hiphop years' wasnt that bad

[bodyrott]

It was alright, nothing I havent seen before.

[Hittman]

The Hip Hop years was a classic.  I watched it twice when they played it on E4

[Hittman]

big brother my arse. i did watch top ten banned vis. Smack Ya Bitch up was on

[Sikotic™]

It doesn't have much to do with rap but what ever happened to Prodigy? I kinda liked their music. After "Smack my Bitch Up" they dissappeared, well from the U.S.

[Don Seer]

they've disappeared here too
the prodigy is one bloke plus 3 dancers who also MC a bit.
one of the MCswas rumoured to be dropping a solo album, i dunno if its the same one.. but one of them used to be in the uk hiphop outfit 'silver bullet' before the rave scene kicked in here (in the late 80s)

they will pop up and drop a bomb in the future - they've dropped 3 albums in 10 years all classics.

smack my bitch up n all that stuff was shite their early stuff was good like "out of space" n shit like that i think they split cos 1 of them has done a solo thing he was the 1 who made a video just out of loadsa fotos playin some poker game or some ish

[Don Seer]

true.. the first album Experience captured the 'free party' spirit the second one has some dope cuts like Voodoo People and No Good (start the dance) the latest one is dope.. but different.

whichever way.. Liam Howlett is the mastermind - the reason there was gap between Music For The Jilted Generation and Fat Of The Land was because he had a bad X problem

[Don Seer]

They did a quick run down from the start of hiphop from herc -> NWA then hit the top ten.

10 - Puffy
9 - MC Hammer
8 - Cypress Hill
7 - LL Cool J
6 - De la Soul
5 - Public Enemy
4 - 2 Pac
3 - Beastie Boys
2 - Salt n Pepa
1 - Will Smith

They called MC Hammer a 'Star Spangled Spanner' and showed him with Suge and talked about him being on Death Row. They played a tiny segment of G Thang when talking about Death Row.

What a stack of shit. Dre should be in there.
