OHHHH BABY The bass extension on ‘Watch Me Now’ - if you got a system or headphones capable of deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep bass you’re gunna feel goood

Just realised The Message is on here twice.

Wouldnt have got a warning due to different artists names - savage

At least one’s the long version and one’s the short one…

wonder which will be the chosen one to get the points

First true test of the long songs score more points theory.

Just coming on here to mention that. Poor bastards points are gonna be split.

Although technically it is “…and the Furious Five”, so that should be the one that gets the points?

I don’t think I’m going to score either in the interest of fairness wouldn’t have been in my top ten

Confused myself - the one listed as “Grandmaster Flash” only is from The Definitive Anthology of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - so all a bit of a mess really.

I’d vote for whichever version I liked best if it was one of the songs I wanted to give points to.

Isn’t rap part of hip hop so there may be soul songs that are hip hop but unless there is a particular style of vocal it isn’t rap? I would think of Soul 2 Soul as soul.

I really know very little about all this but this is how I understand it.

I’m genuinely not sure. Is the Fugees cover of Killing Me Softly hip hop? Don’t know.

Both tunes though.

Its R&B/Soul mostly

Also Rap can exist without hip hop
rap cannot exist without rap - it’s a vocal delivery - no rapping = not rap music

No matter how many other traits of hip hop it has

Quite impressed by the workaround to get a song off 3 Feet High and Rising onto the playlist. Huge tune chosen as well

There’s some weird, but genuine De La songs on Spotify. “A Rollerskating Jam Name Saturdays” is on some random compilation simply as “Saturdays”, but it’s the real thing.

So frustrating how difficult it is to listen to them legitimately! Pretty sure I’ve got the CD of 3 Feet High back at my parents’, need to remember to get it next time I’m back.

Wasn’t expecting that lengthy instrumental break in the Fat Boys track, but I’m not complaining. It’s still gimmicky but better than any of the other tracks I’ve heard by them.

I saw that one in my library yesterday when I was looking for hip hop and thought it would have been a great pick for the dance round, shame it wouldn’t be on Spotify…
