This song is made with unreleased J Dilla (James Yancey) beats.
2. Verb T - "Where You Find Me" 2012 (UK HIP HOP) *I love this beat; the bass is great and it has soul. I really don't know how to talk about beats, I just know if I like it.
3. New Order - "Temptation" 1982 *I'm pretty sure this is not the original video because the clothes and the cars look too modern. Of course, New Order is great.
4. J Rocc - "Stay Fresh" 2011 *Mayer Hawthorne filmed this while he, J Rocc, and Peanut Butter Wolf were on tour in Japan (or so the YouTube credit says).
5. Lootpack (Madlib) - "Crate Diggin'" 1999 *Oh man, I love this.
6. Jin - "Top 5 Dead Or Alive" 2005 *This is the only Jin song that I really like. It is hard to pick a top 5 emcees because it is hard to know how to judge. Is it personal preference, content of lyrics, or skill level? I always like Mos Def, Method Man, and Q-Tip. The rest of my top 5 is always changing by what I am overplaying at the time.
7. Primal Scream - "It's Alright, It's OK" 2013 *This is what a new Primal Scream song should sound like (as messed up as that sounds). I always loved their "Movin' On Up" song from 1991.
8. The Roots - "Silent Treatment" 1995 *Another solid Roots track.
9. The Foreign Exchange - "I Wanna Know" 2009 *This song by Phonte and Nicolay is way more R and B than I expected. It's aight.
10. Erykah Badu - "Honey" 2008 *This video has the best use of a record store.
