He always performs with a live band. nhQTDP6DIUA&mode=related&search= Juice. 08-13-2007, 03:41 AM The Roots, you listed them but they're about as good as it gets. Back in the days, before samplers became prominent parts of hip hop production, you had people like Stetsasonic, Sugar Hill Gang, Kurtis Blow, etc. Stetsasonic- Talkin All That Jazz iJ2pArGnXJ8 Sugar Hill Gang - Rappers Delight o2pu6jAWvw8 Kurtis Blow - The Breaks PtO5ejCu0Ic You had them using live instruments, but it's not so common these days. big_pete 08-13-2007, 05:40 AM DJ Quik uses alot of Instuments in his beats. check out his Greatest Hits: Live at the house of Blues album http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/Large/04/873804.jpg its real good. he uses a 12 piece band and has Robert 'Funksta' Bacon featured quite a bit on guitar feral 08-13-2007, 01:50 PM Check Task Force. They sometimes do live versions of their tracks, and they bring out a live band, Rawdog, for a lot of their shows. Task Force & Rawdog - March of the Beatnicks (Live) (http://www.zshare.net/audio/311895720898dc/) Task Force & Rawdog - Letter to God (Live) (http://www.zshare.net/audio/31190606d2c868/) Task Force & Rawdog - Street Tangos (http://www.zshare.net/audio/3119000a22e70b/) pHoLL 08-13-2007, 01:52 PM Just check out the "In Full Gear" album by Stetasonic. Ezkimo 08-13-2007, 01:52 PM gnarls barkley? oh actually bone thugs n harmony have a good few tunes like fleetwood mac n ish mixed in bogart 08-13-2007, 04:27 PM Pharoahe Monch has been using a live band, and Common has as well in the past (Electric Circus era). El-P has on for his new album, and Sergio Mendes and Miri Ben Ari have both done live work for multiple artists. Ant uses live instruments a lot now to avoid sample clearance (noticable since Brother Ali's Champion EP), RJD2 does as well. Conz 08-13-2007, 05:17 PM The Roots are hands down the best group that I know uses live instrumentation edit: didn't see you mentioned them Que Rico 08-13-2007, 08:49 PM Lupe Fiasco uses a live band sometimes. i saw him perform when he was touring with the Roots but he didnt have a live band then. Also, Kanye West performs with an live orchestra, conga player, & piano/keyboard player. southpole 08-13-2007, 09:31 PM Heiruspecs |
