I love this tune. The way the bassline lazily comes in around half way through the tune is smile worthy every time.

you know what? in 2014, when you think about hip-hop & dnb colliding in more than just production influences, it is pretty hard to find the perfect marriage of the two. jungle brought on hip-hop samples, funk, and the like, and then dnb turned out many remixes, and a few original mc'd productions - some already mentioned in the thread here - as apposed to just a dnb edit of a hip-hop tune.

because the tunes were made to drop in a dj set, i don't think of dnb hip-hop remixes as much more as party tunes. so its difficult to see the results as much more as novelty tracks, as they usually have been. this far on, it is a dated fusion, imo. altho, i definitely still like the odd tune here and there myself.

HIVE all day, as mentioned. I was huuuge into his early lps too. In essence, I think instrumental dnb examples did a much better job of translating hip-hop influences than vocal tunes. imo anyway.

there's this too, faster bpm:


When I Was just starting out as a DJ in 2000 the following Track was one of my earliest records, and I rinsed that one out quite regularly:


Listening to it again now after years if not a decade hearing it the last time I gotta say, I still like it. It definitely got some energy.

Just remembered this one, was pretty big back in the day...

^^ I like the majority of that tune. original style for sure. I think rather than rely on a tune to carry the vibe, I really liked the odd dj who would actually drop sets with hip-hop records AND jungle / dnb, building that vibe straight from the decks. presentation wise, that's where the translation really happened. I enjoyed that quite a bit when I would hear it. You might hear some of that style in a jungle set now (??), depending on the dj, but otherwise, you don't hear it much at all.

when its good, i definitely appreciate it for sure as mentioned. some people might say that hip-hop translated better with dubstep and of course grime, but breaks are still what its about. I still keep a lighter up for the jungle/dnb side of things tho.


better than most. remember this?






^^ that's as close to a spot on fusion as you'll find, imo. had to dig in the memory for that tho. Mo Wax, 1996.

Not Hip Hop in the strict sense, but I think it fits in here:

Krust and Soul Williams "Coded Language" (1999)

^ just what I was thinking about posting whie scrolling down. But it 100% IS hiphop imo just not the commercialised rap bollox everyone expects hiphop to mean these days.
Amoss feat. DRS - Bleed It on Horizons Music is pretty good as an MC techstep-leaning track.

even though there's no hip hop vocals or whatever, I think this qualifies Smile

Fits here well too I think:

Roni Size "Dirty Beats"
