Hiphop
Whats your opinion on rap/hiphop music? And your favorite artist if you do like it.
I personally like listening to them, if they got a nice beat to it. If its just a song with all rapping but horrible background music then I wont like it. My favorite artist is Kanye West.
I love urban music.
Right now one of my favorites is T.I.
Nerdcore hip-hop is pretty much the best thing ever.
I really don't like rap/hiphop. It's too loud and the lirics these days are bleh.
I like some rap. I like alot of Hip Hop though and R&B. Such as...
Jay Z
N.E.R.D.
Chris Brown
Ne-yo
3LW
TLC
Salt & Pepper
LL Cool J
Eminem
Run DMC
Kanye West
Common
Wyclef Jean
Missy Elliot
Amerie
Bobby Valentino
Usher
Omarion
Busta Rhymes
Black Eyed Peas
EDIT: Oh, how could I forget? Aaliyah (which happens to be my neice's name) and I think Namie Amuro fits in this as well.

I just love hip hop!
I like stuff with a good beat and I think artists like Missy Elliot, Eminem and TLC are awesome. But a lot of it I find boring with the lyrics, subject of songs, the way they all dress up in the videos..I have nothing against that type of culture but doesn't appeal to me as something to go out of my way to listen to. I'd probably never actually go out and buy it (although I have a TLC album).
Hip hop/rap is my favourite type of music, i like all types- new and old. Chamilionaire's pretty good right now.
Namie Amuro's good as well (cheers Shiny)
I like hip hop, not such a fan of rap, though. It also really bugs me when people generalize hip hop. "LOZL I HAET RAP N HIP HOP MANG ITZ ALL ABUT GUNZ N BITCHZ N BLING BLING!!1"
WRONG. Ugh. Anyway, My favourite artists are:
Common
Roots Manuva
Beastie Boys
Jin the Emcee
Nas
De La Soul
Ketsumeishi (J-rap, whatever, I love it)
Lupe Fiasco
Naughty by Nature
Cypress Hill
I think that should about cover it. Common is my favourite hip hop at the moment.
I like some good rap and hip hop - though I only listen to a select few of artists though. I really, really am into Kanye West and Outkast. I do like Eminem, but rarely listen to his stuff anymore. I like a lot of the BEP, but they do have a few hits and misses *cough My Humps and London Bridge cough*. Amerie has a beautiful voice and great songs/lyrics. Love her. Other than that, I like a lot of other songs from a various artists.
Are you by any chance a backpacker? Don't mean to generalize, but any list that has Common, Lupe Fiasco, and De La Soul screams backpacker to me.Originally Posted by Kyono
Anyway, even though I'm a real varied person when it comes to music, hip hop and rap was my first love. I tend to mostly like rap from the South seeing as that is where I live. As far as rappers that are above the Mason-Dixon Line, I like Nas, Fat Joe, and Lloyd Banks. I also like some West Coast rap, especially The Game.
Thanks to Owen McWare for the sig. This sig is staying up forever no matter what.
The Beastie boys and Public enemy are awesome.
Owen made this sig. R.I.P.
Pretty much the only music I listen to, I like too many artists to name them. Although for people who thinks Hip Hop and Rap is all guns, crime and asses then you are very misunderstood. The very commercial Hip Hop and Rap are what give Hip Hop its image. If people looked deeper into the genre then you'd see Hip Hop and Rap are alot different than what people stereotype it to be.
I think some people have lost there edge, many of the commercial rappers you see today actually used to be good, but some have spiraled downwards. Jay Z is one in particular, Im listening to an old set with him and Big L and Jay Z isnt half as good now as he was then.
I would also recommend UK Hip Hop, arists like Sway, Roots Manuva, Kyza, Taskforce, Rodney P, Skinnyman, Klashnekoff and Phil Life Cypher should all be looked into...
