Excellent thread
My favorite music is Rap & Drum and Bass Here are my favorite rappers and crews, I only really listen to good lyrical bars or really tasty tunes Redman & Method man Dr Dre & Eminem Notorious & Tupac Public enemy & Mos def Immortal technique & Army of the Pharaohs Wu-tang (All of there members I love, but Gza is my favorite out of them because of his tune Knock Knock) Cunninlynguists & Gang Starr Dmx & Busta Rhymes KRS One & Styles P JMT & Jus Allah (Vinnie Paz from JMT is one of the best lyricist for rap out there) Sage Francis & A Tribe Called Quest Those are the most well known rappers I listen to,all the rest are really quiet underground or only done a few collaborations with some other artists. Because I live in England I also listen to English rap. Il name a few good ones. JME & Skepta (Brothers both really good) Roll Deep (Crew but really good) Lethal Bizzle & Ghetts ( The movement) Professor Green & Dizze Rascal ( Old school stuff that is) Frisco & Foreign Beggars Wretch 32 & D Double E Klashnekoff (Terra Firma) SkinnyMan & Mike GLC ( Really good those two) Beezwax & Genesis Elijah Devlin & Kyza Those are the rappers which you will be able to find quiet easily I know more but you have to be in England to get a hold of there amazing Cd's and Bars Realise that English rap is called Grime so its probably not going to appeal to you as much as it does for me. But give it a try were pretty good, Better then some of the main stream rappers, but they got the money and these guys done . Take notice that there are some bad tunes that these artist have made but try to look around more, if you want me to tell you the best songs which they have made I will just Msg me Enjoy and I hope I helped some of you young enthusiasts to get into Rap a bit more

Ever since Samurai Champloo, I got really into Nujabes and Nomak and expanded on instrumental hip hop from there. Those two weight heavily in my favorite producers though. Give their albums a listen if you haven't. I love the songs Luv (Sic.) Pt. 3 with Shing02 (Nujabes) and Nomak's Sanctuary off of his album Calm. They also helped introduce me to Substantial (who I believe is an Anime fan). He's got a great flow and subject wise, is really positive and meaningful. Check out the Substantial/Burns collaboration.
Just saw Cunninlynguists live and they're definitely are live. Great show and their latest couple albums (Strange Journey 1 & 2 are excellent). Kno is an incredible producer. CYNE is probably one of my favorite groups that are considered "intelligent hip hop". Great flow and beats behind them (Evolution Fight & Time Being are great albums). They really strike a balance between intelligence and smoothness. |

So I came across this awesome video ideal for bashing the living shit out of ANYONE who says that hip hop requires no musical talent and that rappers are just brainless idiots talking about money, women, drugs, and guns over a synthesized computer beat.

But seriously Jay Z nowadays is awful, his mainstream rap is so corrupted compared to what he used to make. Lupe fiasco is a great guy to listen to but his lyrical skill is somewhat like fat joe's, very unintelligent, but still good show :P

Not a Lupe Fiasco fan but he is the definition of marketable conscious rap. He makes social observations on pop culture, talks politics, and touches on his own religion every now and again, while Fat Joe just jumps on whatever trend in rap is big at the moment.

It's not all about the mainstreem artists, and don't get me wrong they are good but trust me there is alot of talent out there which don't talk about gang violence and drugs, they just talk about life and how much they enjoy it and how they want to be in life and some of their troubles which dont involve violence. and try these artists i really got into them because hip hop is abit low at the moment, and these hip hop tracks are abit jazzy and have really good lyrics in them. If i wa sto compare their lyrical style it would be like Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, and Drake (Not Cudi's mainstream songs, his mixtapes, with songs such as soundtrack to my life and pursuit of happiness. Same wiith drake, his mixtapes, songs like Enjoy your self, Fear and more)
These are the artists im talking about: Blu Dom Kennedy Fashawn Illa j PAC DIV U-N-I TiRon If you want to know songs in particular im talking about send me a message because these guys are really good.

I don't feel like reading through the whole thread, but has anyone ever heard of Aesop Rock? He is amazing, imo. Definitely my favorite rapper. I like Talib Kweli and Mos Def, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique and Lupe Fiasco too.

I'm glad I found a hip hop thread where people aren't hating.
This is what I generally listen to: Atmosphere Brother Ali Budo and Krukid The Coup Cunninlynguists D. Black De La Soul Dessa (from Doomtree) Fashawn Fresh Espresso Grieves (favorite hip hop artist ever) Grynch Haiku D'etat Jake One Lupe Fiasco The Physics SOL Wu-Tang Pretty much anything that's on Rhymesayers Entertainment I'm down with. There's many more underground artists I love, but those are probably the ones who get most rotation on winamp. |
