    My favourite rappers are Eminem, Ja Rule and Outkast. R.Kelly is good when he rapped with Ja Rule in 'Wonderful'. I don't really like 50 Cent to much, although his first song 'In Da Club' was catchy. Can't say anything for Tupac because I can't remember any of his music. I've only heard one of Busta Rhymes songs 'I know what you want' and I loved that.

    But yes, Eminem, Ja Rule and Outkast and my favourites.

    Biggie had nothing to do with his murder. Anyone who believes that is an idiot who ignores facts & listens to hype.

    Yeah, she had an album out last year that was basically a bunch of her songs (which would be on her album, Arular, that came out a while ago) that were mixed with some other songs and such.

    It's good stuff.

    I don't understand why people like rap. It isn't actual music but it passes as music cause of it's popularity now. The people in rap don't sing, the music is barely ever made my instruments. They use a little bit of drums but they mostly use computers and synthesizers which aren't musical instruments in my mind. There is no musical value in rap, the only value that rap has is saying things. Most of the time they don't say anything worth listening to so basically, it's just <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">. The only rapper I like is Tupac, I don't care if he sold drugs at a time or got shot for being a gangsta at some other time, it's not about him, it's about how he thought and what his music said. He said a whole bunch of smart things and he thought a relly awesome way, that is the only reason why I respect him. His rap is good because it actually has something to say that is valuable. Rarely did he make songs that said: Imma shoot you up mosmurfa get down from my roof yadayadayada. Or talk about his ghetto and what not, he did a few times sure, it's prolly not easy to live in the ghetto, but not all of his songs were about that. Come on, listen to some real music.

    i listen to rap and hip hop, and while i do think agree what u said, i WOULD classify it as music, because ne1 can play an instrument if they tried, but who can phrase things, bring their personal experiences together to say something worthwhile?that takes a lotta effort and talent. i guarantee it. don't believe me. ever tried rapping?

    neways, i think most ppl get sucked into the stereotype of rap and hip hop, because the "gangsta/worthless songs that just happen to have a good beat" are the songs that ppl play on the radio. but more times than not, most rappers have something special to bring to the table. even that eminem character :rolleyes2

    I think it's widely accepted now by everyone concerned that that Manhattan shooting was nothing to do with biggie either. It was a punishment shooting for something Pac did in Oakland (he shot up a concert). He was just poisoned in prison by Suge & his cohorts. There is a mighty difference between the legend & the man & I can see why people ignore facts to believe the legend, it's attractive. But the facts are, Pac dug his own grave sadly.

    I also forgot about Styles of Beyond who I worship, and Sole & Alias of Anticon. AdeeM also, excellent. Beans is ok I just wish APC would get back together. Common has fallen off big time though.
    Oh my god, how did I forget about Styles of Beyond. They are REALLY good. :shame:

    I haven't heard Common's new album just yet - is it seriously worse? His previous two (esp. Like Water for Chocolate) were really good, and I like his bit on Black Star's Respiration - the most amazing rap performance I've seen live, because Common came out of nowhere and Mos Def ran through the crowd and I touched his hand and was like holy crap. :o

    I think he's a member of D12. He's not really that new, 'Cause D12 came out last year I think. But you probably just heard him make a song by himself...
