Thread: Rap

    Rap

    I'm trying to break out of my tiny music niche. I figured I'd start with rap, since it's anti me anyway. Post good rap songs that aren't about bitches, hoes, drugs, and being gangsta.

    Air Force Ones by Nelly. They are about shoes.

    Oh man, seriously you need some good rap, because your life will be ruined otherwise.

    Listen to any of these guys (and don't worry, they're all the stuff that you want in a rapper, none of that ho's and pimp's crap)

    -Cannibal Ox
    -Aesop Rock
    -Sage Francis
    -Classified
    -(maybe) Gangstarr
    -Nas

    All great stuff

    Great rappers..

    WEll

    Texas hiphop is out...

    Ok listen to the following artist:
    Tonedeff
    Substantial
    Mr.Mecca
    PacFM
    Jin
    Rip Slyme
    Back Drop Bomb
    Jay Z(I suggest during the early 90s when he use to rap with Jaz)

    Ice Cube
    Tupac
    Any rap from the 80s to early 90s will work
    Also underground rappers like the first 5 I listed.

    Check out an album called Jedi Mind Tricks.

    Kanye West is ok, but I've seen Jin battle Tonedeff they both can flow, and on two different levels

    Nas sucks
    Lil Kim is a wanna be

    Tupac is kewl

    Mos Def is talented

    Biggie..... not sure if I should call him a rapper.....

    Foxy Brown sucks...

    btw I'm talking about the Jin out of New York

    smurf that nas does not suck. nas is the illest MC ever. No question in my mind. He can lyrically kill anyone.

    Yea when I listen to a CD that promotes "Hiphop is Dead Dec. 19th 2006"

    That rapper sold out to commercialism.

    Plus Nas can't flow like Tonedeff.

    Get Black Star - "Black Star" immediately. Mos Def and Talib Kweli are some of the best underground MC's there are. Put them together and it's just pure magic.

    Track suggestions - "Definition", "Respiration"

    Then grab Danger Doom - "The Mouse and the Mask" to get silly with the amazing DJ Danger Mouse (of Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, and The Grey Album fame) and the supervillain himself MF DOOM.

    Track suggestions - "Old School", "The Mask", "Sofa King"

    To end it, Grab Roots Manuva - "Brand New Secondhand" for some of the smoothest raps you'll ever hear. The fact he has a slight UK/Jamaican accent gives it some extra flavor.

    Track suggestions - "Clockwork", "Motion 5000"

    If you could be specific about what kind of production, tempo, or style of hip-hop you want I could give tons more suggestions.

    A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

    EDIT: Eminem doesn't rap about hoes and being gangsta, but he does rap about his problems with drugs

    I hate most rap, though some good songs are

    Sir-mix-alot - Baby Got Back
    Biggie Smalls - Hypnotize
    Eminem - Mosh, When I'm Gone, Mocking Bird, Toy Soldiers
    Master P. - I really miss my Homie

    THough given your description forget about the first two, Even though Baby Got Back is a classic.

    Most people don't, which is why they look so retarded when they make sweeping generalizations about the genre. (then again, people who make sweeping generalizations about anything look retarded, so meh)

    anyway, Dälek is the shiet. Most unique Hip Hop I've ever heard.

    Sweeping generalization there, Mr. DK.

    Sage Francis. His political views are lol, but he does know how to convey them.
