Gangsta Rap Label Death Row Records
Gangsta Rap(G-Rap)のレビューブログでまとめきれなかった情報をすぐに取り出せるように作ったページです。主にレーベルのディスコグラフィや著名プロデューサーの手掛けた作品のご紹介が中心になります。
Gangsta Rapの人気は少しずつ下降線をたどっているように思います。しかしながら日本は世界でも有数のG-Rap大国。情報がたくさんありますし、レコードショップの数も充実しています。
私がG-Rapのレビューブログを始めたきっかけは、音楽的芸術性と知名度とが全く比例していない最たる音楽のG-Rapを少しでも多くの方に知ってもらいたいという想いからでした。私はこの音楽を聴いてから１０年近くになりますが、いまだに全く飽きないばかりか,その奥深さに毎日驚かされています。
このページでG-Rapの代名詞的存在、Death Row RecordsのDiscographyを紹介します。
Death Row RecordsはDr.DreとSuga Knightによって立ち上げられたレコード会社で、現在のGangsta Rapの基盤を作ったとともに、G-Rapの方向性を位置づけるほどの影響力を誇った怪物レーベルです。
G-Rapを聴いている方々は僕も含めて、ここで紹介している作品を基準としていることが少なくないと思います。
3年前くらいに、Death Row Recordsの著作権をWIDEawakeというデラウェア州の企業が買い取り、未発表音源などが少しずつリリースされてました。しかしそのWIDEawakeも破産してしまい、現在では、eOneという企業が著作権を持っているようです。
Death Row Recordsが出来て２０年以上が経ちますが、その音楽はいまだにG-Rap好きな人たちの心を魅了し、影響を与え続けています。Gangsta Rapを聴く上で避けられない存在であるDeath Row Recordsの軌跡を紹介しますので、是非とも参考にしてみてください。
Death Row Recordsにはオフィシャルでリリースされている作品以外に、流通量の少ない、いわゆるインディーでリリースされている作品が多くあります。音楽の著作権問題が複雑な為、裁判などのトラブルなども多いのですが、リスナーとしては関連作品も含めてコンプリートを目指したいところ。
中にはレアで、最高にかっこいい音源もあり、見逃し厳禁です。
Death Row Recordsからのリリースではないものも含まれていますので悪しからず。
