Jay-z - Dead Presidents
Jay-z - Dead Presidents“Dead Presidents” is a song by rapper Jay-Z off his debut album, Reasonable Doubt. The record was the second official single off the album after “Can’t Knock the Hustle”. The instrumental aspect of this song was taken from a sample of Lonnie Liston Smith’s “A Garden of Peace”. The song’s chorus uses a sample from the Q-Tip remix of “The World Is Yours” by Nas. The use of this sample is fairly notable in hip-hop history as both Nas and Jay-Z would later feud in 2001. Both rappers discussed the merit of the sampling in the song in individual “diss” records. Jay-Z (ringtones) references this argument in his song “Takeover” with the lines, “So yeah, I sampled your voice; you was usin’ it wrong/You made it a hot line; I made it a hot song.” This was a response to Nas rapping “You show off, I count dough off when you sample my voice” on an unofficial diss known as the “Stillmatic Freestyle” (not to be confused with the “Stillmatic” intro from the album of the same name.) The song would also officially end the feud between the two rappers, as Jay-Z and Nas performed the song at Jay-Z’s 2005 “I Declare War” concert. Ringtone Posted February 19 2007 | 0 Comments

Use Geto Boys My Mind Playing Tricks on Me as your RingtoneGeto Boys - My Mind Playing Tricks on MeThe Geto Boys are a rap group from Houston, Texas, consisting of Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill. They are known for ultra-violent lyrical content and socially conscious messages. Influenced by Run DMC and N.W.A., The Geto Boys earned noteriety for their lyrics dealing with violence, sex and death. Despite the explicit content of their songs, critic Alex Henderson argues that the group “comes across as much more heartfelt than the numerous gangsta rap … wannabes who jumped on the gangsta bandwagon in the early ’90s.”[1] The Geto Boys(ringtones) broke new ground with their soulful southern sound (perhaps a precursor to the Dirty South style), which was produced by people like Johnny C, Doug King, their DJ Ready Red, and later John Bido (producer) N.O. Joe and Mike Dean. Ringtone Posted February 19 2007 | 0 Comments
Wu Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M
Wu Tang Clan - 36 ChambersEnter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is the debut album of the East Coast hip hop collective the Wu-Tang Clan. It was released on November 9, 1993 by Loud Records and RCA. Many critics consider Enter The Wu-Tang to be one of the most significant albums of the 1990s and one of the greatest hip hop albums ever recorded. The distinctive sound of Enter the Wu-Tang created a blueprint for hardcore rap in the mid-1990s and helped return New York City hip hop to national prominence.[3] The Wu-Tang Clan’s debut “carve[d] out a piece of rap history” in an era known as the East Coast Renaissance. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it among the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” The group’s leader, RZA, produced the album with heavy, eerie beats, largely based on martial-arts movie clips and soul music samples. The unique sound of Enter the Wu-Tang became hugely influential in modern hip hop production. The album also marked the first appearance of a number of rappers—including Method Man, Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Raekwon—who would collectively go on to sell millions of solo records. The lyrics of Enter the Wu-Tang are explicit, humorous, and free-associative, and served as a template for many subsequent hip hop records.The Source declared that the first two singles from Enter the Wu-Tang, “Protect Ya Neck” and “C.R.E.A.M.,” are among the 100 Best Rap Singles yet released.

N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton
N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton“The World’s Most Dangerous Group” N.W.A. released the groundbreaking Straight Outta Compton in 1988. Many considered it a wake-up call to the problems that were going on in the West, particularly in South Central Los Angeles. “Straight Outta Compton” reflected a rising anger in the city, “Fuck tha Police” talked of police violence, and “Gangsta Gangsta” spoke of gang life. The album has become best-known for these opening three songs, since the remainder are fairly lightweight in subject matter, mainly dealing with aspects of partying. Each member of N.W.A (ringtones) learned rap and production skills from the School Road Boys, who had met Dre in the 1980s and made significant contributions to the album by helping to co-produce it[citation needed]. Both Ice Cube and, to a lesser extent, MC Ren contributed lyrics, with Eazy-E providing comic relief within his rhymes. Producers Dr. Dre and Yella composed beats for each song, and Dre occasionally rapped on the album as well. Some of the lyrics were considered highly controversial, especially those of “Fuck Tha Police,” perhaps the group’s most notorious song. As a result of the lyrics, Milt Ahlerich, an assistant director of the FBI, sent a letter to Ruthless Records and its parent company Priority, advising the rappers that “[a]dvocating violence and assault is wrong and we in the law enforcement community take exception to such action.”[1] Policemen refused to provide security to the group’s concerts, hurting their plans to tour. The FBI’s letter only served to draw more publicity to the group. This was one of the albums which prompted the parental advisory label scheme. Yet, reflecting the change in attitudes over time, the parental advisory label then only displayed “WARNING MODERATE impact coarse language and/or themes”. Rolling Stone magazine recently placed it 144th on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time. Ringtone Posted February 19 2007 | 0 Comments
