Begginers Guide to Hip Hop

1- Eric B and Rakim- Paid in Full
2- A Called quest- Can I kick it
3- Gang Starr- From of Intellect
4- DJ Fromat and Abdominal- Fast Food
5-Ugly Duckling- Almond Rocha
6 The Beatnuts- Watch out now
7- Jurrassic 5 - I Am Somebody
8- Run Dmc- You be Illin
9- NWA- Express yourself
10- Immortal Technique- No me Inporta
11- Notorious BIG- Things Done Changed
12- Nas- Halftime
13- The Pharcyde- Ya Mama
14- The Roots- Atonement
15- Snoop Dogg- G Funk intro
16- 2Pac- Changes

These arent necessiraly my favourite tracks by any of these artists and if I was to make a 16 track best of hip hop comp it wouuld be completely difference comp. This is intended to give a rough idea of what the genre is about and first and foremost most of the tracks were chosen either with the fact that they have good crossover appeal or have nice melody, or just give a picture of what a certain style is about.

This is a mix for people who arent into hip hop, hopefully ill convert some people with this as alot of the tracks on this were some of the songs that first turned me onto this brilliant but often derided style of music.

I Can't Stand The Rezillos. That is one of the greatest Punk albums of all time. That's one of my favorite albums. The greatest bass playing on a album ever IJMO (in J. Mascis opinion.) Amazing, amazing guitar playing and guess who played guitar for them? Jo Callis no less from The Human League.

Does anyone have recommendations for a beginner's guide to UK Pub Rock?
like the Motors, The Smirks, etc etc?

A couple of electronica mixes, as requested...

A Beginner's Guide To Modern(ish) Electronica #1
Party Mix

1. 808 State - Pacific State
2. Underworld - Holding the Moth
3. Leftfield - Afro Left
4. Transglobal Underground - Drinking In Gomorrah
5. Junkie XL ft Lauren Rocket - Cities In Dust
6. Groove Armada - If Everybody Looked the Same
7. The Prodigy - Thunder
8. The Crystal Method - Busy Child
9. Overseer - Stompbox
10. Manchild ft Andy Cairns - Rehab
11. The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be
12. Fluke - My Spine
13. Propellerheads - Velvet Pants
14. Cold Storage - Body In Motion

Alright, no-one specifically asked for this one, but the above mix (an update of an older one I did) should, with any luck, prove that electronica can make as much sense blaring through your headphones as it can on a dancefloor. The tracks should be in the above order but, in case they aren't, make sure to re-arrange them as above, as the mix'll work so much better that way. Click the picture for the link and enjoy.

A Beginner's Guide To Modern(ish) Electronica #2
Trip-Hop & Ambient & Stuff

1. Amorphous Androgynous - Tiny Space Birds
2. Goldie - Truth
3. Thievery Corporation - The Outernationalist
4. Kosheen - Hide U
5. Hooverphonic - Vinegar and Salt
6. Everything But the Girl - Low Tide Of the Night
7. Morcheeba - Bullet Proof
8. Think Twice - Halo Halo
9. Nightmares On Wax - What I'm Feeling (Good)
10. Global Communication - 7:39
11. Biosphere - The Fairy Tale
12. Higher Intelligence Agency - Hubble
13. Air - Sexy Boy
14. The Future Sound Of London - Papua New Guinea

And here are some of my favourite ambient and trip-hop numbers, with a total headfuck from Goldie thrown in for good measure. Again, the link's in the picture and, if the tracks don't get to you in the above order, make sure to re-arrange them as above again.
