Guest 277: 930-933 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm looking for a certain type of sound. The kind that conjures up images of rainy alleys and delapidated buildings and parks in autumn. Sort of hiphop noir I guess. Cypress Hill's Black Sunday, Wu Tang's 36 chambers are albums that sort of have that feeling, there's some more but I have a hard time recollecting at the moment. So please, recommend away! For some reason I think this kind of hiphop comes a lot from New York but I have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakapo Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Not exactly what you are looking for, but noir plus hiphop made me immediately think of this: Roots Manuva kicks in about half way through, sorry for the awful fan video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marf Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Obviously pm dawn is a joke, Not hip hop, but I really recommend Miles Davis. I was listening to On the Corner secessions last night and its amazing. Check it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AOOproductions Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 This new MF DOOM is pretty dark(as dark as anything hes done IMO), def get it. Very good. Also De La Souls Stakes is high, de la was at a turning point and the beats are really bass driven and subtle, topped with lyrics about how the industry sucks. Slum Villages first underground release, Fantastic Pt. 1 is super moody. Ras Kass' soul on ice is a very dark recording, and has to do with alot of his beliefs about religion and class. And of course there's hip hops acne ridden, emo, teenage brother, Company flow... you'll get all dark moody pissed off atmosphere you can handle with that one. Alot of independent stuff from the mid 90's has dark production like Group Home's Livin Proof, Pete Rock & INI's Center of attenton, Mannish's Audio Sedative, Mad Skillz' From Where???, and even later Binary Stars' Masters of the universe or the Juggaknots' Clear Blue skies(re release). Just do your home work. Theres alooooot of "MOODY" hip hop out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Roots Manuva kicks in about half way through, sorry for the awful fan video. Nice track though, I'd only heard the instrumental before, Roots Manuva is great. So far pretty every track posted I've enjoyed, the Company Flow one being closest to what I'm looking for. Have some Aesop Rock, like him but looking for a more orthodox/90s sound. Stakes is high is very strongly associated in my memory with a summer I spent with some friends riding our bikes and getting high, great album though. Thanks guys, keep 'em coming!

marf Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 main thing I don't like even in the best hip hop is the samples are always so static. The production is kinda simplistic too. Like they never use effects on drums to add subtlety or movement. Its always the same sample at velocity 128 with zero movement and nuance.

For some reason I think this kind of hiphop comes a lot from New York but I have no clue. if you are into instrumental stuff, i love those 2 albums also and the only thing i have herd that conjures up the same darkness and grime that is hip hop related is Scorn his albums Gyral, Lhoggi Baroggi and Plan B are pretty good but a little heavier than what you asked for but he has a side project under the name Mick Harris called 'hednod sessions' that is absolutely phenomenal dark instrumental hip hop. there isnt anyone else i know of making darker sound hip hop than Mick harris (which is really odd because i really prefer dark stuff, but everybody seems to be into sampling the funk).
