After a couple of weeks playing with Turntable.fm and Spotify I still haven't found a music service that makes it easy and fun sharing music with your friends. Turntable comes close, but a lot of time it's too much work for people who have full-time jobs. Both services let you share and link your FB friends, but both suffer from the Google + complex - there aren't enough people using them to make it interesting. So, I ask you - how do you find new music and share it with friends?
If you know me, you know I'm not a big hip hop fan. However, there have always been certain songs I liked and I knew there must be 'good' and 'bad' hip hop, and if I filter out most of the stuff on the radio, there will be some gold dust down there somewhere. In the past few weeks, thanks to both turntable and spotify I've gotten a lot of exposure to a lot of good new and old hip hop. So if you're not a hip hop fan, and you trust my music tastes (I'm looking at you Dad), here are 5 rap/hip hop albums that I think are indispensable, and more importantly - a lot of fun! This will be a duh for those who listen to this kind of stuff, I'm not going for obscurity points.
1. Deltron 3030 - Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Kid Koala and Dan the Automator
2. Danger Doom - Danger Mouse, MF Doom
3. Doggystyle - Snoop Dogg
4. The Chronic - Dr. Dre
5 Bizarre Ride II - The Pharcyde
So there you go, two fairly recent ones and 3 classics. What's your favorite? And where do you play and share your music?
