All i read was Intelligent . I didn't read through all the pages . Sorry if you've seen these already -- Actually, no. You guys should hear these again.

Lupe fiasco . Best lyricalist ever. Check him out if you dont know him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Z4K_WWeBA
His raps/ideas/statement on blood diamonds.
If you plan to listen to any song , this would be it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otEjSZZ0uKA
Fighters . Name speaks for itself its about people fighting .
I guess you could say for what they believe in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35qXlrcgBUM
Intruder alert . About a girl who put up walls to protect herself
from the outside world . She let someone in and he was a complete
fake . Sad song , amazing story. Yes -- His first album was all stories
amazing guy.

Dumb it down , Superstar , Little weapon. All great songs with extreme lyrical talent. Like them all , but those three above are the best from him imo.

B.o.B -- Amazing person. Love him. Sure you guys know his single 'Nothin on you'
Its good -- Not up to par with his other songs .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2sAjkk4864
Dont let me fall . Name explains himself , he doesnt want to fall
like everyone else whose made it so high up in 'the game'(Lost it btw).
My favorite song personally.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5EP3KHu-VI&feature=fvw
I'll be in the sky. Makes me speechless. I love it, he kinda sounds
like andre 3000 .

You can't see past my shades ft Lupe fiasco. Great effin' song.
Song is basically about you can't see through his shades, you cant
see the REAL him and you probably wont ever.

I'm sure you guys also heard "Airplanes" .
Great song also, but overplayed already.

I'm fairly certain that I mentioned Rakim somewhere much earlier in this thread.

I'm more of an Old School East Coast guy but I listen to pretty much all late 80s- 90s rap. Current rap today tends to disappoint me since it lost the feel and I don't like most of this new "pop rap" influence with Soulja Boy and crazy ass Young Money crap.

Mainly listen to:

Biggie
Nas
Big L
Joe Budden (and Slaughterhoue)
Common
Jay Z
Eminem
SNoop Dog (old school...seems he selling out now lol)
Ice Cube
2pac
Wu Tang Clan
Mobb Deep
Rakim
50 Cent
The Game
Kanye West
OutKast

Sometimes:
Drake
Kid Cudi
Lil Wayne
T-Pain
B.o.B

the hispanic viewer · 2010-07-30, 15:22

For rap my favorites would most likley be Jay Z, Kid Cudi, Lupe Fiasco, and Eminem. They all have really good talent.

Not only is he selling out but his verses are terrible.

Imo I really dislike this guy his lyrics are not particularly amazing not only in this song but in others hes now doing and hes just another mainstream hip hop artist.

I am pretty sure most of you have already heard these two tunes but I just recently found one of my old cd's and recently brought a new one and thought I would share two songs

This one is pretty old 3 years or such.Even though I dislike Kayne west in this hes decent.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDCDrcZK4NE

And then this quiet recently just got there cd and was blown away by there lyrics and there special guest B real.

This group La coka nostra started by ill bill, pretty well known for being a fellow mc with vinnie paz from Jedi Mind Tricks. Also for dissing Immortal technique.

The way i see it intelligent and rap is the words that come together when i hear Canibus. rapping from the syllables not the words

yoropa · 2010-08-13, 23:33

I enjoy Lupe Fiasco, K'naan, and Matisyahu the most when it comes to intellectual hip hop/rap/reggae mix.

Agreed. Canibus is one of my favorite. He's never been able to make the crossover to mainstream but his vocabulary, wordplay and delivery are amazing.

Veldenz · 2010-08-24, 20:25

There's not much hip-hop I've managed to find that I really like, I enjoy OutKast, Kanye West and Kid Cudi. Seems that I'm only into the soul/house/funk influenced hip-hop, but there's not much of it that I can find. If anyone knows any artists similar to the ones I listed it really would be appreciated if they let me know.

I'll listen to some Immortal Technique sometimes aswell, but only when I feel like listening to some angry lyrics, so not often.

dasrune · 2010-08-29, 19:39

^ Spank Rock, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, and maybe The Streets are probably your best bet.

qwertyuiopz · 2010-08-31, 12:48

white wing · 2010-09-17, 06:31

well rap and hip hop is one of the genres that i less know about, but for intelligent hip hop i listen to cLOUDDEAD and Why?

though Why? has become more of an indie rock band now

also, for some good ol' skool shit, i like Nas, also stuff like 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, etc etc if they count as "intelligent"
