HipHopSurplus

"The Mainstream is weak, the underground ain't dope no more!" Hip Hop is a surplus nowadays. So much music coming out... yet more than half of it will not be remembered. This site is dedicated to search through all Hip Hop and bring what we feel is the good stuff today. This isn't a website committed to bring you commercial rap or underground; this is strictly for the Hip Hop Heads. No bias regardless of popularity or abstractness. "Dope beats, Dope Rhymes, what more do ya'll want!"

Zion I & The Grouch are Heroes In The Healing Of The Nation

Paid Dues 2011 Line up

I'm sure you've seen the line-up elsewhere but here it is incase you missed it. I would go for Black Star, Dead Prez, Black Hippy (!), U-N-I, Dom Kennedy, Blu & Fashawn and Slaughter House. Only 50 for general admission!? I know what i'm doing April 2.

Must Have Music: Mocky - Birds of a Feather (Remix) ft. GZA

This one is extremely rare. If you have it already it's because I gave it to you! Anyways, GZA rapping on some genre of music I don't even know how to classify is always refreshing. Wu-Tang Forever!

Panty Droppers: Remy Shand - Seconds of Pleasure

Ohh yah... This one's a classic. Not much to say about this one "album hit" wonder so i'll just let you enjoy this panty dropper. Off his one and only good self-titled album, Van Hunt (2004). Enjoy you love birds.

A.G. - I'm a Beast

Time to pay dues to the OGs. A.G. (from D.I.T.C.) came with that classic hip hop on this one.

Bonus D.I.T.C. - Day One

Classic Diggin' In The Crates (D.I.T.C)

Fortilive – I vs. I (Album)

This group somewhat supprised me with some solid music. I became interested in the trio once I knew illmind was behind the beats, then soon realized the vocals in the group were just as strong. Definitely worth the download. HHS certified

Bilal - The Dollar (Black Milk Remix)

Dope Neo Soul Artist + Dope Hip Hop Producer = Dope Remix

I'll give Black Milk credit for living on J Dilla's legacy

Pac Div - Take Me High

You've seen me post them before. Here's another track from the group I feel is bringing the west back. Can't wait for Mania!.

kendrick Lamar - Vanity Slave pt. 2 f. Gucci Mane

Soo just another night of drunk blogging! February has started off somewhat good... First post of Black History month would only be right if Gucci Man was featured on the hook! Kendrick Lamar - Vanity Slave pt. 2 f. Gucci Mane. No shit, this track is dope.

January Mix

Not the best way to start off the year. Only a few solid releases this month and several shitty ones. While new comers such as School Boy Q and Smoke DZA continue to put out great music, old timers put out albums that left the fans disappointed (sorry Kweli). Still a decent monthly mix though.
