Rap/Hip Hop

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Yeah, I only listen to rap with a strong message. I can't listen to rappers who talk about their cars, money, bling, etc.

You mean like Ludacris? I've heard people love him & hot white chicks masturbate to that little booklet that comes with his albums. If he were a band I would have put him in that 5 bands you want to DIE thread. I remember him vaguely being in that movie Crash that was kinda good, but he contributed nothing to the movie & is nothing more than an ugly pop-icon.

Only good rap album I ever like was DMX's first album & this Canabis album I had. DMX rapped about shooting niggahs but the album had a decent structure for a rap album & you could understand him. I've only had I believe 5 rap in my whole life, no joke. I even remember which albums I had. I was coaxed into buying rap album by a couple of friends in 9th grade & it was very short lived, thank god.

I've been listening to Gravediggaz a lot lately. I think they're probably my favorite rap group.

Ludacris is ludicrous

6 Feet Deep is a great album. Their other stuff is a lot weaker though.

My all time favourite hiphop album is still Liquid Swords by GZA. Brilliant album. Too bad all Wu-Tang material (group and solo) since Wu-Tang Forever has sucked horribly apart from some of Ghostface's solo albums. So much talent going to waste there.

Have you heard Nigga Please by ODB? Awesome album. Twisted as hell. His first album is also good.

I'll have to check out that GZA album, I could do with some new hip-hop.

I'm going to see Wu Tang Clan on the 31st. Going to be awesome.

Some definite Wu solo stuff to check out:
Liquid Swords (Of Course)
Supreme Clientele - Ghostface
No Said Date - Masta Killa
Uncontrolled Substance - Inspectah Deck
The Problem - Mathematics
Heavy Mental - Killah Priest

 

[lordcthulhu]

LIQUID SWORDS OWNS. The last song always sticks with me (B.I.B.L.E.). The Wu is unbeatable, just got 8 Diagrams and it's on par with 36 chambers imo.

Revolutionary Vol 1 is simply one of the ebst rap albums ever.

I'm also a huge Wu Tang Fan. Never really heard any solo stuff besides Method Man's Tical.

Illmatic - Nas Is some classic shit also

Finally got this album and loving it heaps. It's practically a Wu-Tang album anyway, they're all on it. Definitely up there with 36 Chambers.

Some mentions of French hiphop a while ago. Thought I would suggest Hocus Pocus - check out this awesome vid:



The UK hiphop / grime has also been really interesting over the last few years. Wiley, Dizzee, Flo Dan etc. all worth checking out.

Not sure if I've posted here yet.

I like a bit of rap and hip hop. I'm into some of the old classics like Public Enemy, Eric B. and Rakim, De La Soul etc....then I find myself really enjoying the 90s stuff such as 2pac, Dr Dre, Snoop Dog, Notorious BIG, etc.

Some of the newer stuff is good, but thats few and far bewteen. Stuff like 50 Cent is only really good for comedy value, or if it has a catchy beat. That said, modern artist such as Dizzee Rascal and The Streets are both mint. Seen them both and had a great time.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

oh and early Eminem (Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP) is excellent
