Hello fellow music lovers, let's take digression to hip-hop and trip-hop. I am not that into hip-hop but there are some exceptions and some rare jewels, which should not be missed. Trip hop on the other hand is a genre i enjoyed a lot in my youth. Let me share this five tracks with you starting with hip-hop and slowly getting to trip-hop a short travel back in time. Have fun!
Hallo Liebe Freunde des gepflegten Tones. Diesmal geht es die Zeit rückwärts von einigermaßen aktuellem Hip-Hop zu den Anfängen des Trip-Hops. Trip-Hop und Dub habe ich meiner Jugend sehr viel gehört. Ich höre nicht viel Hip-Hop (hat viel damit zu tun, dass ich auch Wert auf den Inhalt lege), aber ein paar Tracks sind Perlen. Viel Spaß beim hören.

Lyrics
I'm so tired of playing Playing with this bow and arrow Gonna give my heart away Leave it to the other girls to play For I've been a temptress too long Just... Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be a woman I just wanna be a woman From this time, unchained We're all looking at a different picture Through this new frame of mind A thousand flowers could bloom Move over and give us some room, yeah Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be a woman I just want to be a woman So don't you stop being a man Just take a little look From our side when you can Sow a little tenderness No matter if you cry Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be a woman I just want to be a woman It's all I wanna be, is all a woman For this is the beginning Of forever and ever It's time to move over It's all I want to be I'm so tired of playing Playing with this bow and arrow Gonna give my heart away Leave it to the other girls to play For I've been a temptress too long Just... Give me a reason to love you
