note: Resurrecting and expanding a long lost playlist from 3 years ago courtesy of retired staff member, Carl Kruger.
I think his playlist is a perfect albeit brief introduction to arcade hip-hop, hopefully the original flow wont be ruined by my own inclusions. Can’t get enough of this sound lately.

note 2: Datassette song’s quality is very poor, a lousy 64kbps. I’m terribly sorry. Couldn’t find it at a higher bitrate anywhere. Normally I wouldn’t even consider including a song with such a terrible bitrate but being this a resurrected post I had no choice. I hope you understand. However an alternate, slightly melancholic version is available as a free download on datassette’s site right around here.

    Great playlist. I would also recommend Solvent and Ochre as artists with an Arcade sound.

    “[...]Normally I wouldn’t even consider including a song with such a terrible bitrate[...]”

    But you did it … ;)

    P.S. problems with streaming, I have to wait to have a listen of the playlist

    if you had to go with a low bit-rate, best to do it with lo-fi, 8-bit music ;)
    …i jest…
    thanks!

    You might also like the Dutch hip-hop formation ‘De jeugd van tegenwoordig’ that has a semilliar sound to the tracks in this post. The lyrics are in Dutch, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=search_videos&search_query=de+jeugd+van+tegenwoordig&search_sort=relevance&search_category=0&page=

    BTW something is wrong with the boy 8-bit track, it doesn’t play!
