More 90s hip hop: If you don't know Big L that must mean you don't know D.I.T.C.

Posted by Krusty (aka krustylu) Jan 4 '13, 12:53

D.I.T.C. or Digging In The Crates are Big L, Fat Joe, Showbiz & A.G., Diamond D, O.C. and Lord Finesse.

They have some sick tracks. And if you don't know Showbiz, A.G. and O.C. you should go listen to them as well. Just awesome 90s rappers that were slept on by the mainstream.

Responses:

correct. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:57 6
- Check out this track from Showbiz and A.G. - Krusty Jan 4, 13:03 [youtube]
- I'm going to make you a CD tomorrow. It'll be in the mail on Monday. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 12:59 4
  - do you need a dose of the good new shit in return? -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:11 3
    - That would be great. No rush though, you have a family and a life. I have two cats and half a job. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 13:13 2
      - meh, this would be way more fun than they are. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:15 1
        
        Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 13:16
I only heard rap on top 40 in the 90's so that was not much. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 4, 12:55 1
- It was still good but there was so much coming out at the time that they all couldn't be heard and a lot of great musicians were left out. - Krusty Jan 4, 12:57
well, I have heard of Fat Joe. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 12:55
i quit hip hop around 1989 - charlie Jan 4, 12:54 24
- You missed out on the best time for rap music. It became just phenomenal from then on through the 90s. - Krusty Jan 4, 12:55 23
  - you need to train me for trivia next week! I welcome any suggestions you have here, on facebook, in email, call me up and start rapping, whatever! -- nm - amanda Jan 4, 13:07 3
    - Tracy Marrow is Ice-T. Marshall Mathers is Eminem. O'Shea Jackson is Ice Cube. Robert Van Winkle is Vanilla Ice. -- nm - tl Jan 4, 13:26 1
      - Okay, not all right era, but you get the idea. -- nm - tl Jan 4, 13:27
    - I will help in any way that I can. Not sure how, but feel free to pick my brain or my music collection. - Krusty Jan 4, 13:15
  - i think the elimination of the "music" in rap music is where they lost me - charlie Jan 4, 12:59 18
    - if anything, i think there's more of that in the 90s (and today even) than there was in the 80s. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:03
    - I'm not sure I know what you mean. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 13:00 16
      - like if you compare the stuff post-Public Enemy/N.W.A. to the old skool Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel/Sugar Hill tracks, there's virtually no music - charlie Jan 4, 13:03 15
        
        but the G Funk era is all melodies again. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:08 1
        
        i grant you this. the West Coast sound is smoove. i think i probably couldn't get past the thuggin -- nm - charlie Jan 4, 13:10
        
        I diasgree. In the 90s a lot of guys learned to actually play instruments and knew more than how to play a drum machine and sample. - Krusty Jan 4, 13:07 12
        
        and digable planets, and pretty much all the backpacker stuff. The Choice Is Yours. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:09 10
        
        Diva knows the wife of the bassist for digable planets. - Mel Profit Jan 4, 13:16 3
        
        digable was dope. the rapper's new project, Shabazz Palaces, is trying *way* too hard. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:17 2
        
        Was? They're apparently back together. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 4, 13:19
        
        They really were, as the kids say, dope. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 4, 13:18
        
        arrested development! -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:10

        can i make and share spotify playlists? is that easy? -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:11 3
        
        oh you can, yes. my spotify is, shockingly, whatmary. do we need to friend eachother? I have no spotify friends (because of mockery) but for trivia - amanda Jan 4, 13:20 1
        
        i barely use spotify so i don't even know how to do it, but i'll make something, and then we'll muddle through figuring how to get it to you. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:22
        
        Good idea. That might be a good way to help. I know a lot but I'm not sure how to pass along the info to help. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 13:12
        
        *band not bad* -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 13:08
