The guys name is Jocko Sims. So I started watching a show on STARZ called Crash (great show) its based on the film Crash. Theirs a black actor on the show and he sung a rap in one of the episodes and it just blew me away.

I did some research online and found out his name is Jocko Sims, his imdb. To my surprise hes been in Jarhead and Dreamgirls among other films. I also found out he wrote and produced the rap that appeared on the TV show Crash.

Any ways here is a clip from the TV show with Jocko's rap scene. The rap starts at about 3:55.

I just bought his song on Amazon as well. His song isn't on Itunes yet I guess it isn't "big" enough yet. Song is titled Head Up

Just to clarify this isn't a advertisement I don't know Jocko Sims I just thought I would share this with everyone.

The only Rap song I ever liked was this one, back in 1979 when rappers used to wear grandpa cardigans.
Watch the floor show dancers - priceless. :beer:

And maybe that one.
Remember that Pixelation was considered as a fancy special effect back than.

And if you think that´s old School have a look at the roots:

This is what's called real hip-hop. You don't hear it much anymore. PE and acts like that used to break it down like this. But God forbid you try to tell anyone what's really happening now days. If you don't have booties shakin' or bling actually blingin' no one cares what you're talking about. Although there is Lupe Fiasco, but will he ever be as famous as Fifty Cents singing this kind of rap? Probably not. Sure his stuff sounds better than much stuff that's out there but the lyrics aren't about doing drive bys, bootie or slinging crack. That's what he thought about doing at first, "gangsta" rap but instead he does stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1Et1siZhTk

Dude, no you didn't bust out Rapper's Delight. Indeed the granddaddy of hip-hop. And by the way Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's "The Message" was indeed the first rap I ever heard. (If you don't count Morgan Freeman as "Easy Reader" from the Electric Company. You don't get smoother than that).

Freeman was smooth. LOL. I used to love electric company. Seriously if you ever want to hear some sick Hip-Hop music if you don't usually listen to it, check out. Public Enemy-it takes of millions to hold us back, NWA-straight out of compton, SLick Rick-the great adventures of slick rick, Nas-It was written, Eric B and Rakim-Paid in full (the single greatest hip hop album of all time to me) And the message is single greatest hip hop song of all time IMO. Now I need someone to school me on classic rock. I have never heard a single floyd album.
 
Eric B and Rakim, wow, been awhile since I heard that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZElWBsoyvUo

Speaking of Old School, here's Milk Dee using Fifty's "I get money" video after Fifty uses his "I get money" hook. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBwmXDloLOA I love how he's haphazardly edited into the actual video. It's funny someone listening to "Fiddy" has no idea where this came from. At some point Fifty Cents version of "I Get Money" became stupidly popular. But this is indeed a Milk Dee hook. But if you remember that then you're about my age. LOL.

LOL. I can quote that song word for word. If you aint in 30's you probably never heard of milk Dee. song was called top billin' produced by daddy-o of stetsasonic.

I remember that. Dude was hilarious and so low budget. He was indeed real big for a minute and even lasted for awhile on the Latino charts from what I understand. I still remember when people loved Vanilla Ice (you know, the people who say they "never" liked him. LOL). Can we just admit when Ice Ice Baby dropped we all thought it was pretty awesome and move on.

Im gonna have to say 93 was the last really good year IMO. A few classics from 95 other than that its luck of the draw with who will drop a decent LP if anyone even the greats dont impress anymore :(
 
Good to see everyone is reminiscing about rap and hip hop :) lol.

Yeah you are right nathyn Jocko is Hip Hop and his stuff sounded really unique.
 
Man I miss real hip-hop. This watered down crap today makes my head hurt. What happened? But I have to say this, that new ludacris album is nuts. His best IMHO.
