Thats the BEP i remember. Not the new pop shit. That first album was dope.

Before Fergie!! They had a Black Fergie. Can't think of her name that sings the hooks.

Heres a few of my favs:

NWA - 100 Mile and Running
Tupac - Changes
Eminem - Drug Ballad
Twin Hype - Do it to the crowd
50 Cent - Animal
Dismasters - Small Time Hustler
Iconz - Get fucked up
Wu Tang - Gravel Pit
EPMD Ft LL - Rampage
Public Enemy - Bring the Noise
MC Serch - Here it comes
Eminem ft Redman - Off the Wall
Digital Underground - Kiss you Back
De La Soul - Saturdays
xzibit - Break yourself
Missy ft Luda - Gossip folks
Twista - Bussin no Discussin
Ying Yang ft Wyclef - Dangerous

Kim Hill. Behind the Front is a doppppe album. Just forget the BEP of today and listen to that album. One song on the album they make fun of sellouts stating "You actin like a nigga that be rhymin in a Pringle commercial"

A couple years later they kick Kim Hill out and get that man-looking lady and do a Dr. Pepper commercial.

BBD - Poison

quality post - i dont have all these



i dont have these either

Actually, Kim Hill left the group back in 2000 to pursue other projects... Fergie wasnt brought into BEP until 2003, when their 2000 album "Bridging The Gap" was considered a commercial failure. It was probably one of those deals like, We got you under contract for a few more albums. Time to go pop or you wont have a career. Since Will.I.Am was already producing records for rock bands and other pop artists, They left the backpacker scene for the pop scene with no question.

I'll keep you in between 110-120 for now.
But I know you've been dying to drop stuff like Oochie Coochie La La La and DJ Taz. :)

Heavy D - We Got Our Own Thang and/or Now That We Found Love
Joe Budden ft Busta Rhymes - Fire
Kwame - Ownlee Eue
Jagged Edge ft Run DMC - Lets Get Married (So So Def Remix)

Points to message on the board to the class: If the artist(s) is singing, 99% of the time, it ain't hip hop.

Hey, don't knock The B to the B to the D.

Before that song, I was always a sucker for a big butt and a smile. After that song, I now know better.

100 Miles And Runnin' is a GREAT song. Gets me all amped up.

and Biz Markie....


I said SINGING... not a lame attempt at singing. lol

you forgot Lil Wayne btw. Worst of them all.

Old School
It takes two - Rob Base (112)

That's all i can think of off the top of my head... those BPMs might be 1 or 2 off since i am not looking right at my library. that 110-117 ish range for hip hop is my least favorite. But for old school R&B its gets not better then that area.

That simply doesn't sound real. The booing is fake.

Good Post!
Off the top of my head..

Mac Dre - Dollala Lotsa Paypa

These are not considered HIP HOP... Pop music at it's worst....

I'm just saying.

PE - Can't Do Nuthin' For You Man
Eric B, Rakim - Juice (Know The Ledge)
Beastie Boys - Ch Ch Check It Out
Big Daddy Kane - I Get The Job Done

Ice Cube - Amerikkka's Most Wanted & Gangsta's Fairytale.

So you say - Crowd's love it. I always play it with other hip hop/pop hip hop or whatever - and it works.

Man. Some of these songs aren't in my collection, and I thought I had a great collection! The throwbacks are bringing back memories. I'm about to go do some downloading!

Might work... it still doesn't make it hop hop.

Eazy-E - Imma Break it Down

(trust me, this is a RARE kickass jam!)

I never heard of BEP until they went commercial.
I need to hear their older stuff.

Vanilla Ice- Ice Ice baby

Freshco and Miz - We don't play
Organized Konfusion - Prisoners of War
Paris - Break the Grip of Shame
MC Tunes - The only rhyme that bites
Maestro Fresh Wes - The Mic's my piece

+1 The Macarena works at my club doesn't mean its a hip hop record.

I think some DOC stuff is up in the 110's and 115's as well. Check the Whirlwind Pyramid Album.

Been looking for King Sun - On The Club Tip for a long time. Used to have the tape but haven't found it digitally yet. Anyone?

Correction - BDK was mentioned above. Credit where it's do....great thread by the way.

I know search was mentioned as well but I think 3rd Bass had a few that were up in that BPM.
