New York City Hip Hop Playlist (YouTube)

Started building a unique playlist of hip hop tunes that originated from the city that gave birth to the genre in the first place: New York. Here we have a slate that begins in the party-oriented early 80s South Bronx and progresses all the way through the late 90s into a bunch of raw, underground, hot street rap fire 🔥😎.

So, if you've been following me long enough, you know that my forte with these playlists is to load up on great obscurities, and I've got a bunch here, but I've also got some classic jams as well, all of which come courtesy of Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five and Melle Mel. There's shortened versions of two early hip hop cornerstones: "The Message," which was the genre's first ever lyrically conscious hit, and then the anti-cocaine anthem, "White Lines," which Grandmaster Flash actually had nothing to do with, even though Sugarhill Records slapped his name on it in order to help boost its record sales.

But speaking of anti-drug hip hop anthems, a lesser known one from around that same early 80s time period is The Funky Four's "King Heroin," which heavily interpolated The O'Jays' own "For the Love of Money," aka the theme song from The Apprentice (🎶 money, money, money, money....mon-ay! 🎶). "King Heroin" is definitely not a completely unknown song, but in comparison to "White Lines," far less people are aware of it, and in total, it has about 62,000 plays on YouTube across a handful of uploads. Fun, catchy, early hip hop gold as far as I'm concerned.

But once we hit the mid-90s, that's when we really get into some of these underheard Big Apple rap goodies, like a pair of mid-90s boom bap cuts from a Harlem native called Raucous aka Sabotage, who at some point decided to leave an oversaturated US rap market for Germany. 1995's "Say No More" has around 1,100 total plays on YouTube and the Roey Marquis II remix of "No Way Out" from 1996 has about 2,400.

And Brooklyn's own mighty Mos Def aka Yasiin Bey makes an appearance on here too, on a rare remix of N'Dea Davenport's "Bullshittin'," which I'm pretty sure was produced by the one and only J Dilla. Super chilly synth tones on this one that's approaching 20,000 YouTube plays.

And lastly, Manhattan trio Missin' Linx supplies "M.I.A.," a song whose beat very well may have been jacked by Dr. Dre himself so he could release his iconic "The Next Episode" the following year. Both songs utilize the same main sample from David McCallum's "The Edge," but according to WhoSampled, either producer VIC was the first to ever sample the song for "M.I.A.," or one of his collaborators, Godfather Don, was the first to use it for underground New York rapper Scaramanga's "Death Letter" remix. Either way, although "The Next Episode" would come to be hailed as a late 90s west coast rap classic, Dre wasn't the first to sample that McCallum song. And "M.I.A." has about 176,100 YouTube plays while "The Next Episode" has managed to rack up hundreds of millions.

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible:

The Furious Five Meets the Sugarhill Gang - "Showdown" Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - "The Message" Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel - "White Lines (Don't Do It)" West Street Mob - "Mosquito" Funky Four - "King Heroin" Dana Dane - "Something Special" Nine - "Any Emcee" Raucous a; k; a Sabotage - "Say No More" Raucous a; k; a Sabotage - "No Way Out (Roey Marquis II Remix)" Smoothe Da Hustler - "Hustlers Theme" N'Dea Davenport feat. Mos Def - "Bullshittin'" D.I.T.C. - "Themes, Dreams & Schemes" Missin' Linx - "M.I.A." Mr. Supreme feat. Al' Tariq - "Run the Show"

And this playlist is also on YouTube Music.

So, we currently sit at 14 songs with a runtime of one hour so far. And maybe when I find more to add, I'll have enough songs to make a Spotify playlist too.

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!

HI! @saintfrancesworld

My Name is T, and anyone can me up for these types of recommendations. I'll go from Oldies to the newest artists in each category (roughly) ! I come from a family where EVERYONE has a different music tastes, and I'm someone who listens to everything unironically. So I'm gonna be really really broad.

If you like country! Hit up some Northen Regional Mexican music!

● Tucanes de Tijuana

●Jenni Rivera

● Calibre 50

●Grupo Firme

● Peso Pluma

If you like more folksky leaning country ballads hit up Rancheras

● Pedro Infante (super clear Spanish, but very regional)

● Vincente Fernández (lots of smart lyrical writing)

● Ana Gabriel (icon)

If you want something very energetic, I'm gonna have to genre hop for this one. I would add merengue to this, but a lot of its is suuuuper nonsensical. Not great for learning.

● Los angles azules (cumbia)

● Joe Arroyo (salsa)

● Selena (multi genre)

● marc Anthony (salsa)

● Sonora Dinamita ( cumbia/merengue)

If you're more rock and folky leaning also kinda genre hopping

● Gloria Trevi (multi genre leaning rock)

● Calle 13 (multi genre leaning rock rap) (I especially rec this one because the lyrics I'm on the more serious songs, is literal poetry, studied in schools)

● Mon Laferte (ballads and folk)

● Quantic (indie cumbia)

● Manu Chau (indie)

●Silvana Estranda (indie)

● Nico Play (folk india)

If you're into rap, trap. Etc

● Ivy Queen

● Daddy Yankee

● Plan B

● Don Omar

● Kali Uchis

● Bad Bunny

● El Alfa

● Aniita (her stuff in portugués is wayyy better but she has stuff in spanish)

● Rosalia

if you want a laid back tropical sounds, Bachata is the way to go

● Aventura

● Prince Royce

● Romeo Santos

● Chaynne

● Camilo

Most Spanish speaking artists do A LOT more genre hopping than, American artists. Unless they are an artists that exists within a genre such as Cumbia, Merengue, or Northen Mexican Music. As it really hard to branch out of that music sphere because of their already niche music skills. It's why artists like Shakira and Juanes have such a wide range of sounds in the discography, but icons like Ana Gabriel don't.

That and globalization.

As a native English speaker myself, who wants to learn Spanish as a secondary language, do you have any recommendations regarding Spanish- singing music artists or Spanish songs? I’ll take anything from folk rhymes to an entire pop album! Also: thank you so much for all the knowledge you provide! I hope you’re doing excellent! 💗✨

I'm not particularly up on music these days so I'll have to ask for followers

The artists I know of are Shakira, Juanes, Alaska, Lucero, La Oreja de Van Gogh, Maná, and Los Prisioneros

...And a whole lot of Disney youtube songs with the lyrics in Spanish for me personally

I need to look through my playlists because I have more songs collected than actual artists but I don't know them all off the top of my head
