Rap/Hip hop

Fair play on the electronic thing and listening to what you've grown up with.

Jacko whats a good mobb deep album? Always liked them when ive heard but never listened to an album. And from what you've described I think you would like Aesop rock, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXAKOfk7_ho is his big hit and a very good song.

yea i really like that tune, nice work...
Infamy was good by mobb deep, very dark with a few club hits in there..
or murda muzik...or americas nightmare,or hell on earth... juvanile hell is ok, they were 14 though when they did that...

that tune was playing in the background as i typed... like it a lot..

upbeat mainstream rnb where you can hear the lyrics, didnt used to be into but after a night out in boutique had a right laugh and got into it

i'll like Lil Wayne, Drake, Kanye amongst others... Not all thier stuff mind, but i don't think Hip Hop going "pop" has killed it at all, if anything its made it more mainstream and more widespread... surely that was the point originally, to have an opinion on a subject and express it creatively to people who would listen?

It's all opinion at the end of the day. I find it a bit tedious, though, when artists are still rapping about Racism when there is a black man in the Whitehouse. And yet they are culpable of Classism (ask Louis Vuitton Don) - which IMO is the same monster as Racism (judging a man not by the colour of his skin, but by his property) - constantly repeating brand names and so on. For that reason, I don't really care for their message. They need to get back to rapping about shooting hos/hoes - something we can all relate to.

[lostmyhouseski]

All that fuckin' rappin' does me head in though ..... and i can't stand that P Duddy , Daddy , or Diddy , or whatever his name is , for a few reasons .....

a) because he's loaded , and thinks he's god ... b) because i hate his crappy rappin' ..... and c) because he's givin' Beyonce one!

Jay-Z is the one married to Beyonce!

 

[without a dream]

The older stuff is clearly the best J5, N.W.A, Cypress Hill etc. Recent stuff I like is Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco, some of Sway's stuff and Lethal Bizzle although whether he's strictly Hip Hop/Rap is questionable.

I love altrernative hip-hop with the likes of:
Dilated Peoples
J5
De la Soul
A Tribe Called Quest
The Roots
Black Star
Mos Def
Gang Starr etc

Soulful, funky, groovy, cool beats; with meaningful vocals!!!


I absolutely dispise shit like 50pence, Li'l Wayne etc - absolute dross! i hate this pop-RnB stuff like Rihanna and Beyonce - boring and too whiney! and cannot stand this rubbish pop RnB UK shit that has ruined a fairly good genre of EDM (electro) with songs like "Riverside" and "Bonkers"!

99% of it these days is cRap.
