Your Next Project Starts with Brownstoner
Ah, I’m in my glory right now…Tonight’s bubble bath will NOT be featuring the music of Diana Krall! Old School Hip Hop it is!

Jungle Brothers were good, but never were as good to me as DE La and Tribe – right? and who could forget Queen Latifah before she got all jazzy and ish and Monie Love?
agreed – I know there are some cool stuff out now – but I would argue that x-clan wasn’t really all that mainstream – nor was KMD you know?
I gotta get that ringtone!
Gemini> We agree on Jungle brothers. They were good, but not really great lyricists.
KMD and X-CLan were not pop or mainstream, but you could hear them on the radio. There are some really great rappers today, you would never hear on the radio. Even the older groups who still release music are ignored by radio now
