Massive Attack w/ Mos Def - I Against I is like...one of the tightest hip-hop tracks I've heard. Just felt like sharing.

HUh last time I checked Massive Attack wasn't a hip hop act but dance/techno band. They are a good band none the less.

No, they kicked off the whole "Trip-Hop" thing in the early 90's... grab 'Blue Lines'. It's a stone cold classic.

'I Against I' was better when Bad Brains did it. Heh.

hehe you said "tightest"


anyways isnt massive attack some sort of rock band? if so give me some recomendations. thnx.

Sorry, I was feeling black. :\ Haha, but seriously; they're more of a trance/techo-ish sort of group. No rock.

Shadow: It was a colaboration.

Edit: Song is from the Blade II OST, btw.

They have absoutely nothing whatsoever to do with Trance/Techno... heh.
Their stuff started out closer to soul mixed with hip-hop, bit of funk, blues, but all upbeat. They got darker in progressive albums, adding a rock element to their sound (Angel, for example).
 
I thought Massive Attack was Trip-Hop?
Anyway it is a good song...though I like his collaboration with Dj Honda better, Travelling Man.

Heh, I can tell Alpha likes to stick with rock :p

Massive Attack are not at all a trance group. Trip hop all the way....One of the first groups, if not the first to get that genre going.

I guess at a record store they'd be under "Electronic" or whatever....

The term Trip-hop escaped me for a second. I listen to a good amount of it, too: Lamb, Portishead, Massive Attack, etc.

Used to love Mezzanine, but the only track that still really does anything for me is Risingson. Being musically jades sucks.

how the hell can you label them with four different albums that sound completly different from one another? hell mezzazine is basically a rock album.
