anyone ever hear 'think your greezy' from el-b?
the man is a genius. if you haven't, search for his myspace it's probably still up on there...
drums are wicked, simple hard stompin groove with the tamb on the snare(gets me every time)
bass is ridiculous, and nothin more than it needs to be...
the tune was probably made in 5 audio tracks.
can anyone recommend some more stuff like this? i'm sure some of you UK people know of some high quality things that i could never find from here. share the love!
thanks in advance

If you're looking for some straight gangster shit try N.W.A.
As far as Dubstep, I don't find any of it to be very "gangster".
I'm just bustin' balls

i get ya ^^^
it's not like i haven't looked, but i know there has to be some shit out there that's got a similar sound... that tune just moves you.
i'm telling you- drop a tune like that at the dance and it's wet floors and hands in the air.

Look out for Richie August. Got that ghetto chicago sound meshed with nasty dubstep. Can't get enough. *BSP* look out for his EP on Savory Audio
Oh yeah and check this one out by me

probably v obvious but loefah has that stripped down hard vibe on a lot of his tracks
for example - "its yours" think it was on ringo
edit: o yeah and "throw some d's" by parson has a vibe like this too

now we're getting closer, but not there quite yet.
thanks for all suggestions thus far- all good stuff
i love ringo btw(
hovercraft is one of my all timers)- and parson has been one to watch for a while.
you definitely got what i meant here: "stripped down beats"
