The Choice Is Yours
Below are three of my favourite hip-hop songs that I happily stumbled upon browsing around YouTube the other day. Now, I know what you're thinking: these are precisely the three songs that people who don't listen to hip-hop say are their favourite so as to maintain a modicum of indie-hipster cred or that Pitchfork would put mid-way through their "Best Songs of the mid-1990s" list to make it look a little less white and rockist. Well, you're probably right. And that's why I don't post about hip-hop very often, because I clearly just come across as someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. I'm sure that my favourite jazz or electronic records have the same appearance of a person who read some kind of "essential albums" list on metafilter and really has no knowledge whatsoever about the genre beyond that.
Anyway, these videos are all downright terrible which is, I guess, part of their charm.
"Liquid Swords"
"The Choice is Yours"
"Passin' Me By"
