The Give Props Thread.....Who Put You On To Good Music?

Cain1

Can you give props to a Reason poster for putting you on to some new music? I'll start it off because I'm not scare to give props to someone.

@Stopitfive let me know OC had a new joint out (great btw)

@Turfaholic had Erik the Jerk in his sig so I peeped it out and I liked it.

Could go on but let's see how this goes.

Stopitfive

can't get specific right now...
but back when the Reason was popping, I got put on to J Cole, Jay Elec, Kendrick...
most recently Joey Badass... so props to the way things were...

Law Trafalgar

@kame put me on to a couple of dudes
So did hrap

DMTxCannabis

Tommy put me on Soliloquy Of Chaos by Gangstarr.

Bcotton put me on Pop That by French Montana.

Those^ are the only examples I can think of right now.

...nobody put me on any specific artists, but many posters made threads about songs that just dropped. I would have been late in hearing those songs if anything if it wasn't for them.

Stopitfive

ayo... I think H-Rap might've put me on to Stalley... Lincoln Way still gets mad burn in the whip...

Yeah that young kid Joey Badass is nice found out thats my homegirls nephew through marriage haha. Cosign the part about when the Reason used to pop shit had me checking out youtube on the regular.

Yamoley

yeah, props to Hrap, son was always talking about Stalley so I checked out his music and now I'm a fan
great acquisition to MMG

Cain1

Cosign the Stalley drop by Hrap.

Nosign to whomever told me and the Reason about Lil B though lol.

TwentyFive.Lighters

Someone dropped a "God In The Building" appreciation thread, and that made me a big Killer Mike fan. Really didn't listen to his music that closely, but that was a great song.

L.O.S.T.

That's the only reason I'm on here. So many diverse tastes in music. I wouldn't have heard about any of these New artists if it wasn't for The Reason. Thanks

Cain1

It's to much bickering going in The Reason as of late but i'm sure through out all the fuck shit cats on here have been put on to so good music by others even their E-enemy. I know have been put on to a lot hiphop I would of never listened to if not be a poster posting it up.

H-Rap 180

Great thread from Cain.



So many posters have put me on to new music that I can't name them all but my Top 5:


MODS

Ruff Draft = put me up on "The Left" and countless underground gems, his efforts are greatly appreciated.
Soloman = put me up on "Spice 1" and a lot of regional gems from the NorthWest in addition to other slept on West artists


POSTERS

ripDilla = my favorite DJ he put me up on too much good music to mention but most recently he put me up on Young RJ a really dope producer from Detroit who has that Soulful production reminiscent of 9th Wonder.

Gee757 = Gee is a boss he don't just put you up on music he take his phone and pic that ish and post it so you see the purchase LOL, he put me up on the FDW, Regime, and the obscure Benzino-Made Men joints.

BackNwhite/PtownDonte = These dudes put me up on Playa Fly, DTE, & a lot of deep South music that I have in my IPod.

Yamoley

I think it was that Kame dude that was uploading tracks from them Outworld weirdos from Cali, and I ended up downloading a couple of tracks from Mike G and this track called "Flashlight" from that ugly dyke looking chick Syd the Kid

rip.dilla

@RuffDraft for introducing me to Kendrick Lamar on The Essence sub-forum two years ago with Overly Dedicated

RuffDraft

Props @H-Rap 180 and @rip.dilla for the daps.

I'll send the same message back to H-Rap and Dilla for their consistent threads… can't knock the hustle.

I'd have to give props @Stupot0607, @satyrone, @HipHopScribe, @Lou Cypher, @NinjaSenses, @Ishi, @TwentyFive.Lighters, @traestar, @skeep, @waterproof, @justforkicks, @bignorm73 and a countless stream of other heads who have visited The Essence in the past 8 years.

Keeping The Essence alive.

But overall, props to anyone who discusses Hip Hop intellectually, under the description of The Reason.

We're currently blessed with a fantastic board. If the posters will follow, open-mindedly, we should be in for a very bright future.

Props on the thread.

@Gee757 got to give him props on a joint he posted by Bang'em Smurf. A joint called A Man's Man shut was good and i'm not a fan of dude but that was straight.

Me and @RuffDraft definitely exchange music, so definitely props to him for keeping the Essence alive literally.

And yea the usual suspects that you posted Ruff definitely deserve props. But one thing I forgot the one guy that keep it alive before Ruffdraft, I can't remember his name.

@Traestar, do you mean Eloquent? Both he and the one before were both me lol. I've been running The Essence since 2005 or so…

LSi01 and BigLR.I.P also did some good work in there, along with the vets. The Essence put me on to a lot in the early years of the I.C.

I have to agree on this one. I always liked Mike's music but listening to "God In The Building" made me a fan.

Turfaholic

I think ptown & miles high(rip) put me onto alot of good songs.
H-Rap n GEE convinced me to stop sleeping on Meek.

@cainmarko thanks for the shout out.

Bein on the reason this long kinda gave me a sense on the type of hip hop the average poster on here listens to. I felt like Erk would get love on here and he has. Just wanna thank everybody who download his last album &/or current album off of my sig.
