  • Samurai Champloo is an anime that first aired in 2005, lauded for it's forward-thinking soundtrack featuring legendary hip hop producers Nujabes and Fat Jon. These were some of the formative beats for me as a producer.
    I managed to find this 2017 edition of Samurai Champloo's soundtrack on Discogs. It's not a first edition pressing, but it does sound great. I hope you enjoy listening!
    Just a heads-up, this music gets content claimed on youtube. Doesn't matter to me, as I'm just uploading these videos for fun. I'm happy to support the creators (or their labels...)
    I hear some folks use my channel for their streams, so if you're one of those folks, skip this video!
    Shout-out to everyone who came to my stream yesterday, that was fun. I'll try to pick out some albums to play and chill out on a live sometime again soon.
    Thanks for reading, and enjoy the tunes.

      I don't see any other anime that fulfills that role other than samurai Champloo. Cowboy Beebop can also be a reason for that when it comes to the aesthetic.

Yoko kanno who is the producer of champloo was looking for an urban hip hop feel to be the background to the series but they couldn’t afford well known American producers that’s why you hear Fat Jon , Nujabes and others

    Samurai Champloo is one of the few animes or animated series in the world that makes you a better person after watching it. You watch it and keeps thinking about it for a while, just like other masterpieces like Great Teacher Onizuka and Cowboy Bebop. Needless to say the the soundtrack has a really important role in this.

Personally I liked the realistic elements of the story which balanced out the more fantastical parts. A young woman traveling in feudal Japan (or anywhere at that time period) on her own would experience a lot of that type of danger. It would've been more unrealistic to pretend like she would be perfectly safe wandering around alone all the time. A big aspect of the show is her avoiding being kidnapped and them trying not to starve; reality.

I couldn’t get my finger on where it was from then I finally did a search for it. I went on adult swims aired anime’s and found out it aired before I was born and ended when I was born. I decided to actually watch the full anime since all I remembered was one scene from the first episode. Man has this anime brought back so much nostalgia and memories along with it. Young me laying on the couch being mesmerized by it’s art, music,and style. I will always consider this anime apart of me and my childhood.

    Lo-fi hip hop has existed for quite a while like late 80s early 90s but it’s cool that champloo shined some light on it and gave it some much needed recognition. The mixture of high action anime and lofi was truly genius!

    • @riosnyder6122
      @riosnyder6122 3 года назад +1

      Lofi didn’t really exist, there was triphop, jazz rap, sample hip hop, which were inspirations for Nujabes’ style, which has now become Lofi. These original styles were done by producing masters J Dilla, Madlib, Guru, etc, J Dilla being one of his biggest inspirations. It was Nujabes that took these styles, inspired by his old records and hip hop, creating the raw style of lofi. The reason Lofi is so reminiscent of the sounds of hiphop in the 80s & 90s is because Nujabes blended those elements, he took the best from all, and with his own flavor and touch, created what we know today as Lofi/Lofi Hip Hop.

    • @Bumbly_Vee
      @Bumbly_Vee Год назад

      ​@@riosnyder6122No, they're right. Nujabes and Dilla were the same age and that scene of hip hop was already know in Japan. People Shing02 and Verbal exist with similar styling. Lo-fi hip hop itself is just low fidelity, meaning it sounds more aged, which gives it that nostalgic feel. That aside, laid back vibes of Nujabes sounds are probably influenced from other artists like, A Tribe Called Quest, Massive Attack, Slum Village, The Fugees, Mobb Deep, etc.

    One of the first anime I really got into, was Bleach (recommended by a friend). After seeing that and thinking it was the greatest anime of all time, I started searching for other stuff.
    I don't remember exactly how, but I stumbled upon Samurai Champloo, all by myself. Maybe I was looking for Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) and scrolling down the list I came across this.
    I decided to try it out (I think it's only around 24 episodes). Man, did I wish there were more episodes.
    It's a solid 9/10 for me & I'm definitely gonna rewatch it sometime.

    Love the look of the nice red record effortlessly spinning on the fine black turntable. Very nice.

    The original Lo-Fi is J-Dilla and Pete Rock and Q-Tip from projects back in the 90s, but this is still dope!

    Whenever I have a bad day or when I argue at home about something stupid, I come to see the vinyl spin while it plays "Just forget" and I must say that it solves almost every bad mood situation

    It’s currently 10:00 am As I’m listening to this, working from home smoking a perfectly rolled fat joint, looking down at the cars from my apartment window as it’s raining while my cats next to me and my dogs snoring. I got my green tea next to me, ready rock.
    For a brief moment, I know true peace.

    wait dude. im quite immersed into the lofi scene and anime but like.... these are NOT remixes??? ive been listening to lofi before it even got its name and i gotta say, this really suprised me. 2005? WTF?!?!?!? thats insanely early and i definitely agree with your title. samurai champloo IS the original lofi without a doubt. magical what these people were thinking when creating this
