[JGMetalhead]

[moouers]

 

[Badbird]

I can sometimes listen to rap but the mainstream rap that on tv and radio is horrible just horrible.

 

[panzerfaust666]

yeah Mainstream is shit rap. That truly is crap. I love stuff by Jedi ( my personal favorite) Wu Tang, Nas, Outkast ( stankonia)

 

[JGMetalhead]

Jay-Z is pretty good and hes mainstream. But thats probably all there is to it.

 

[panzerfaust666]

jay z is crappppp....people say he has the best rhymes and flow, but fuck that shit. no way

 

[Satanstoenail]

Most of the Hip Hop recommended in this thread is crap tbh.

I disagree that hes the best rapper alive, theres alot of good rappers but hes definitly not crap. He changed hip hop a bit and almost killed off the autotune trend (he should have killed it)%2

mhmm, there was that rap thread a little while back, that was shit for the mostpart too. I guess it's to be expected on a metal board.

 

[JGMetalhead]

List some good rap then.

Dalek anyone. Still, can only listen for awhile, but it's the best hip-hop Ive heard.

 

[Walls_of_Jericho]

 

[Satanstoenail]

[Badbird]

I been listening to the Wu Tang Clan as of lately.Which member solo work should I hear next?The only one I have heard for solo work is Gza and he great.

 

[UnderTheMoon]

I think it's too boring, if it were more than just a beat I'd like it. This is just my opinion, I'm used to progressive metal and rock.
But it's tolerable, unlike mainstream rap.

 

[Molag Bal]

Fat jon and Big L are my favs

Mos Def
Wu-Tang Clan(As a whole)
Method Man

All good rappers right there.

And Yes all rap that's on the radio today is fucking atrocious and isn't rap.

If you liked Gza definitely download Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.

And the best Wu solo album Ghostface Killah - Ironman

I take it you heard Gza - Liquid Swords.
