More Lo-fi Hip-Hop?

jsrockit · Post by **jsrockit** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 2:08 pm

Ok, I have the Madlib stuff, the Quas stuff, the early wu-tang, the first De la, the JDilla stuff, MF Doom, Madvillain, Jaylib, cLOUDDEAD, jungle brothers, the anticon stuff, sage francis, deltron, dr. octagon, dabrye, etc.

What other lo-fi hip-hop masterpieces are out there (that are relatively recent since alot of old hip-hop is lo-fi)?

Check out "Req" he was my first encounter with this lofi hiphop production on really minimal gear. I think he came out on the Warp Label. Very lo-fi quirky glitchy stuff.

Oops...I should have included the ones I don't like as well...not big on the last Count Bass D...or sensational.

Peep the earlier joints. You can kind of see where Doom / Madvillain was headed with their album

I meant Count Bass D's earlier stuff, not Doom's. I know Madvillain is a classic haha

Since you're talking about more recent stuff, I'll recommend
El-P - Fantastic damage
Mr.Lif's I Phantom
Cannibal Ox's cold vein
Oh No's The Disrupt (madlib's bro)
Dizzee Rascal both albums
J-zone - pimps don't pay taxes
RJD2 - The horror
Soul Position - 8 million stories

Got all of those... except J-Zone and Soul Position, and I wouldn't consider most of those real lo-fi.

Hmm...well if you wanna get into the older stuff I'd check for these albums if you haven't already

casual - fear itself
smif n wessun - dah shinin
mr.len - tribute to company flow
black moon - enta da stage
redman - dare iz a darkside
big L - lifestylez ov da poor & dangerous
handsome boy modeling school (prince paul and automator) - so...how's your girl
chino XL - here to save you all
dan the automator - a better tommorow
cypress hill - temples of boom
gravediggaz - 6 feet deep
ultramagnetic - funk your head up

Not sure if these fit your definition of lo-fi, but if you like the stuff you listed you should find this stuff to be dope.
