One of the greatest pieces of music ever, composed by the greatest saxophone player that ever lived. Make sure you listen to all four parts in one go. If you don't get it, wait a few years. When your ears have developed a bit further, listen to it again. When you get it, it's a very powerful experience .

Also, if you enjoy it, BUY IT!

 

Big thanks to PhoenixDth for finding this...

Not bad man. The drums are pretty generic though.

 

What happens when you mix several great musicians together and add a midget <span style="text-decoration: line-through">on top</span> at the bottom?
The pianist has me confused though. I don't know what's more awesome, his playing or his hair.
And yes, the background beat is horrible...

Since there's a lot of rap/hip hop here and some in other languages, I'll link this one from Montréal:

And something very popular, but some might not know it...
There's a very good video out there but the sound is messed up, so I link this one.

Anything from the JSRF soundtrack generally kicks ass.

I was in my car listening to a mixtape I made and came across some of Nujabes' (RIP) collabs and that song Metroidz by Shing02. I used to listen to Prinze Low from Germany and a bunch of other cats like Five Deez and Immortal Technique. Thinking about that got me It got me wondering--- how many hip hop heads are on VFDC??? What your thoughts are on hip hop overall. In the meantime, enjoy the vid:

Wicked remix from Andy Blueman. Almost anything that guy touches turns to gold.

Yo jinx, I'm a hip hop addict.

Lately, I can't get enough of this track:

Apathy - Shoot First (feat. B-Real and Celph Titled)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyZIfXC3PL4

Celph Titled is a beast, just sayin'

 

I'm a hip-hop head too. I still listen to stuff that has come out as far back as the 1980s like Boogie Down Productions, Public Enemy, Ultramagnetic MCs, Kool Moe Dee, Ice-T, Juice Crew, etc. Haven't been able to listen and catch up on much of the material that has come out over the last two years though.

And damn... that song by Apathy, B-Real and Celph Titled actually does sound like it was made straight out of the early 1990s. I totally agree with the guy who pointed that out in the comments section. And I'm LMAO @ the use of the looped Duck Hunt sound effect.
