What’s a song that you think you could show somebody that’s never heard of hip hop to explain what the genre is? I think my pick is Mathematics by Mos Def
Good question. For some reason the first song that I think of is Knuckleheadz by Raekwon. But I feel like that says more about me than hip hop. There’s so many times and genres that it’s hard to pick just one.
I would have to start somewhere near the Donuts album by J Dilla, if not with that album.
If only for the rosetta stone effect of being able to recognize J Dilla samples and used all over the place and also for recognizing when hip hop production is directly referencing J Dilla in its style.
