DJ Maz - The Golden Era Mix - Vol. 4.
Aiight the 4th installment... Most likely a 5th on the way...
This one looks at the Native Tongues sound & influence...
It had a major influence on hip-hop in terms of production,
sampling, lyrical content, consciousness & the overall feel...
Hip-hop slowed down, became jazzy & bugged out...
Similar to the transition in Jamaica in the 70's from ska to
rocksteady to reggae...
The Native Tongues movement was responsible for getting me
deeper into hip-hop at an impressionable young age, back in
like '88 when the Jungle Brothers came straight out the jungle...
Furthermore, I got deeper into music & culture in general...
I started diggin' for jazz & funk records from the liner notes of
all those seminal albums of the time...
Needless to say it was very formative for me as a young teen,
and its influence in hip-hop music, even today, is endless...
Enjoy y'all...
