Huh, that wasn't as weird as I thought it would be. But then again, I didn't watch the video, I just listened.

HAHAHAHAHA! oh shit... this nigga must be new.. Also Her? That bitch that went soft as fuck in Prowler 2... I mean she was going before Jay Electronica and fucking Mos Def...
But still shes soft as hell...
dont beileve me? listen...

How do you guys feel about the recent wave in hip hop? Tyler The Creator, Earl and OFWGKTA, Lil B and those artists?

also, i seem to like 90s rap more than nowadays rap

>>188
Damn embeds

Need to go, but listen to this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCUz9dUFc3g

>>195
Honestly... Im a fan of OFWGKTA. They are a young group of kids who want to have fun and get a name for themselves. and they have some bars... Also they make they own shit, and they are not signed to anyone... I havent seen anyone like that group before to come from nothing and blow up like they did. I mean, i might not agree with some of the things they talk about (i.e. Rape, Killing, Fucking dead bodies.) but the lines they use to describe it are amazing. You have to be fucking twisted to same some of those lines. But arent we all twisted when we look at ourselves. Rather them rap about than actually doing...
Also, Frank Ocean is an amazing singer/song-writer.
He also does alot of ghost writting. He even wrote songs for Drake and Beyonce... yes nigga.. Beyonce.
>>196
Hmmm okay Okay... she has a few bars... I'll give her that but I think Lola Monroe could give her a run for her money... Check her out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whqh3cfMKao

>>206
Oh and fuck Lil'B gay ass

>>194
Don't get it twisted, every MC has their off stuff, but Jean Grae's back catalogue puts her above just about every other female MC in my opinion.

The difference between Jean Grae and just about every other female MC out there is her lane. Jean Grae isn't in the 'female MC' lane, she's in the MC lane. Which means she has a lot more competition in comparison, yet she still shines through.

And if we're talking female MCs Njeri Earth deserves a mention, as well as Bahamadia and of course Lauryn Hill.

>>206

I can't do OFWGKTA, they've always seemed like kiddie horrorcore to me. I mean, that just might be me, because... Well... Look at my name. That's my favorite rapper. I grew up on this album.
>pic
It makes everything they say seem kind of tame.

Also, Tyler's delivery makes me want to die. I hate it.

And yup, unless you can prove your hip hop cred>mine, I'm not dropping the title

  >>154
That was sick! Premier is to freaking awesome. Gotta love Mos too.

Here's another Prem joint. NYGz, Lady of Rage, Royce Da 5'9'' and Freddie Foxx/Bumpy Knuckles.

  I love how hip-hop has hipsters too
Although I shouldn't be talking. Almost any rap song made after "Its All About The Benjamins" is crap in my eyes

I think OF are kinda cool, i mean, they are kids and they have achieved a lot, really. The problem with them is their fanbase and how they're really overhyped. Frank Ocean is REALLY REALLY good too.

And for Lil B, i think he's fun. It's like if the music and persona was a whole parody. Just looking at his video titles make me laugh.

Yo, Gucci Mane up in this bitch.

>>626
Gee I totally don't regret getting this tattoo burr burr brick squad lahkalemawnnn

>>629

  >>629

He's one funny ass nigga, I'll admit that. Anyway, I want some opinions on a few artists.

Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Don Trip, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G.

Just a few, to get a feel on how this thread rolls.

Also, enjoy that C.R.E.A.M. niggas, that's some bad shit.

  >>637

Oh shit, and it's J Dilla's birthday. Just mentioning it.

>>549

I just don't care for their music. It's so uninspired and gimmicky.

>>637

>Gucci Mane
Great ear for beats, bad at everything that makes an MC an MC though.

>Rick Ross
Meh, besides a single decent verse here and there he's kind of lame. His story telling is terrible and his punchlines are just bad... Plus he can't spit more than 5 words without gasping for breath.

>Don Trip
Only heard Human Torch 3 by him, it was okay.

>Nas
Undeniably great, but like most great artists he's sort of overrated by his crowd. He's released a fair amount of bad albums as well, but still... Illmatic, IWW, God's Son and Stillmatic can all be called classics. Guys undoubtedly a legend.

>Wu-Tang Clan
Second best hip hop group of all time, imo, but really their strength is in their solo work. First two group albums were amazing though. Past that t's hit and miss.
GZA>Ghostface>Inspectah Deck>Raekwon>Method Man>RZA>Masta Killa>ODB>U-God

>Eazy-E
Meh. I didn't like N.W.A in general. Eazy had a nice flow and voice, but still. Lyrics were pretty lame, and he didn't even write his own lyrics, so.... He's whatever to me.

Ice Cube
About the same as Eazy, except his flow and voice isn't as nice, but he did write his own lyrics... And Eazy's.

>Pac
Good, but overrated. He really shouted over beats too much for me to like him that much though. Insanely overrated.

>Notorious B.I.G
Overrated as well, but I like him much more than Pac, he could ride a beat like nobodies business. I find it hard to put him on the same level as Nas, simply because he only was alive to release 2 albums though... If Nas died after IWW people would probably have decided he was GOAT as well, since his first two albums were honestly a lot better than Biggie's discography.

I don't trust my tastes at all, so I'll drop a song I like and leave.

Oakland Blackouts by Hieroglyphics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRfCq7sPqf0

Also if anyone will drop any foreign Hip-Hop--well, I suppose non-American would be abetter term to use given the nature of this board--I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm not very familiar with any non-American groups. Fatal Bazooka, K-OS, and Rip SLYME are about the only names I know.

>>787
But why would you want non American Hip Hop?
American Hip Hop > Foreign Hip Hop.

Also, Hieroglyphics are pretty cool.

>>788

>>788

I dunno man, you find some cool shit if you bother to look.

>>793
No seriously. American Hip Hop is far better than foreign

>>795
I guess, but foreign hip hop has always felt like it was stuck with pretty basic rhyme schemes and too much rock influence. I mean... lul Grime.

Shit yeah hip hop!

  >>798

This is the only good foreign rap I've heard as of yet.

  I'll be damned if anyone hasn't heard this

  You can't spell "Hip Hop" without Gorillaz.

Or at least, not without Clint Eastwood.

Oh Good to see this Thread is going well...
Welp!!! Lets get this shit started...
>>637
>>755
I agree with you cage... for the most part...
A few things the made me cringe...
>Rozay
Meeh. Hes no where near the best rapper ever. But damn does he know how to get out there and make great colabs with other people. Dont believe me? Check out hes new Mixtape. 'Rich Forever' Shit sounds like a fucking album. I mean he has everyone on that bitch. Diddy, Drake, Kelly Rowland, WALE THO!!! even John Legend... JOHN FUCKING LEGEND... ON A MIXTAPE!!! like I dont even? But thats not to even mentioning he has TWO albums coming out this year. 'Y.O.L.O. (You Only Live Once)' a colab with Drizzy Drake. and 'God Forgives and I Don't'... This is why Rick Ross is the man of the year... and hes gonna be it again.. He's the Boss man.
/Nicki Minaj voice
>Wu-Tang
my list would go like this...
Ghostface>Raekown the chef>M.E.T.H.O.D. MAAAN!!>Inspectah Deck>GZA>ODB>RZA>Masta Killa>U-God.
lolol U-God sucked... without a doubt.
>Biggie Smalls
Lol... Diddy was the one who was always talking over his beats. that shit would piss me off, kindda like how Wu-Tang always had these long as fuck intros in songs. I mean its cool and shit. But fuck can I get to the song and not skits...
>>788
Whoa the hot stuff...

These are just a few That I listen to myself.
But really dont limit yourself to only one country of music. You will end up missing out...
Now onto a different artist... MF DOOM!
Over-rated, Dont know who he is, Horrible? What do you think?
I personally Love him and think he is one of the greatest. One of the great MC for New York ever. And I love how he is still independent and he will always just be that Nigga in a mask.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQakz9-kvfI

  >>882
Fun fact: The Gorillaz did a song with MF Doom.

Also, the rapper in Clint Eastwood is called Deltron 3030. His shit is pretty awesome.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7_jbluF0qo

Recently got further into:
Slim Thug
try the album of Boss of all Bosses.
Z-Ro
esp. the alnums of Meth, and Greatest Hits. Also older tracks like One Thug or Who could it be with Guerilla Maab.

>>798
>American Hip Hop is far better than foreign
oh wow. Tell me, how would you EVER be able to account for it?

>>926
The rapper isn't actually Deltron 3030. Deltron 3030 was a group he was in An amazing group but the rapper is called 'Del The Funkee Homossapien'.

>>890
I'm not saying that all foreign hip hop is bad, but it's just not usually as good as American hip hop. It's stuck with late 80s rhyme schemes 99% of the time with too much rock influence in the production... Just the greats of foreign hip hop never really measure up to the greats of american hip hop.

And MF DOOM is pretty awesome, Madvillain is his best work imo.

Lastly, why is GZA so low on your list?! Liquid Swords!! Liquid freakin' Swords man!

To everyone, The Roots, thoughts on them? In my opinion, the greatest Hip Hop group of all time. Yet to find any group that could truly compare to the 9th Dynasty Crew.

Okay Im home and have some chill time before work... Shall we begin?
>>919
A TRIBE CALLED QUEST!!!
Always a classic choice... Q-Tip is still going on strong with the solo thing. One of my fav hip-hop groups coming behind The Roots and Wu-Tang.
One of my fav song, "Can I Kick It?" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71ubKHzujy8
>>929
Aw shit... Austro, nigga you listen to DIRTY SOUTH SHIT. I mean H-Town shit. I feel like I need some Purp and Sizzurp listenin to Slim Thug. But Slim is one of the best. I also LOVE Underground Kingz, UGK 4 LIFE (R.I.P. Pimp C)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu5P4pOUuYk
>>959
Hmm I see. I can see what you mean by that. thats mostly Asian Hip=Hop, Also I love classic Turntables DJing. So I can see how I have a bias opinion on 80's sounds because I perfere that sound than a newer song with all bass.

I think Madvillian is one of the most under-rated Hip-Hop duos in the game. I remeber when Madvilliany came out, No one gave 2 shits because guess who... Kan-Yeezy first came on the scene with College Drop-Out. Which dont get me wrong... AMAZING. but Madvilliany went on deaf ear. Oh and dont worry kiddies... We will go over Yeezy in a later lesson...

>GZA
>Liquid Swords
Meeh, I mean That Album was amazing. and not to mention that song is god-tier, You arent a rapper if you havent done a free-style on it. BUT, the only reason that album was good was cuz of RZA. Not to mention that GZA didnt really stand out in WU. The only 3 that everyone talks about is Ghostface, Method man, and ODB... and maybe Raekown if you know Wu.

>The Roots
Only the best, They are stealing Rock back. I own every album. And Moony loves them too. lolol. As Jimmy Fallon say 'The Greatest Band of All Time, The Roots!!!'

>>926
I need to listen to Gorillaz more. And that Deltron guy, he sounds like something worth listening to.

>>959
oh, so he's actually Del the Funky- WAIT WAIT WAIT. I KNOW THAT NAME.

Youtubing...youtubing...AHA!

If You Must, by Del the Funky Homosapien! From Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3! Now I HAVE to hear more!

I can't believe he's the same guy as the guy from Clint Eastwood...

We gettin' stacks on deck.

>>995
Dude, what? That album was sooooo amazing because of GZA. His lyricism is just above and beyond what any other Wu member can manage 99% of the time.

Fuckin, just the internal multis he does in that album. Fucking oh my god. GZA is in my top 5 rappers of all time. Only a few lyricists that can really surpass him imo.

And hell yeah The Roots are the best. Never released a bad album either, the 9th Dynasty Crew are gods among men. Illadelph Halflife man.... I seriously orgasm in my ears to Concerto of the Desperado.

  >>1000
ONLY ROZAY CAN GET A THOU GET!!!
JUST FOR THAT A RICKY ROSS SONG!!!
'TAT MY NAME ON YOU GIRL SO I KNOW ITS REAL!!!

>>1004
Hmm, I mean GZA is a force to be reckon with, and He had his albums come out first... before Killa even had his come out. Its just you dont even hear about GZA any more... Well We will When Liquid Swords 2 comes out... Do you think GZA can still spit hella fire?

  >>959
My bad yo.

>>995
>Can I Kick it?
YES YOU CAN

>>998
I love it when shit like that happens.

>Remember loving "That one song" from Gran Tourismo 2
>Years later, like Mission Hill
>Love the theme song
>Years later again
>Friend adds some music by Cake in a synchtube I was in
>This guy's voice sounds familiar...
>Some minor investigation
>Find out that "That one song from Gran Tourismo" was The Distance and the theme to Mission Hill was Italian Leather Sofa
>MUST HEAR MORE MODE ACTIVATED

And now for something completely different.

>>1009
I think he has another album coming out before him and RZA get back together for Liquid Swords 2... But it's not like he hasn't put in work past LS.

Beneath the Surface and Legend of the Liquid Sword were both sick, plus we have DJ Muggs vs GZA : Grandmasters. Protools to, but Protools is his worst.

I'm anticipating fire from LS2 though.

  >>1013
Weeaboo Mass Up Tiem?
Weeaboo Mass Up Tiem!!!
>>1019
I remember Legend of LS but I never copped it. Like I said I only stuck with Meth, Killa and The Chef. But I think I might just start listening to GZA again. I didnt even know he had all those albums!

>>1022
I used to be a huge Wu stan, so I've heard every Wu solo album, as well as all of their group stuff and I've listened to a huge amount of Wu affiliates.

The good thing about the Wu-Tang Clan is you'll always find new music to listen to in their lane, they're like a genre of their own.

  >>1005

Man, his new mix tape is some good shit.

  >>1022

I saw this in the related and thought I should share it.

  I have a present for everyone in this thread.
Listen to this song, pick your jaw up, then go download this album.

What about T.I or Pitbull?

Quick Bump...
I was about to write a lot, and ask a question on Mainstream Hip-Hop Today, and give my out look on it. but I'm studying for 2 Exams I have tomorrow so what I wanna say might be a while...
however, Mainstream Hip-Hop you out looks on it?
Mainstream Hip-Hop ex. Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Mac Miller, Eminem, Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, B.o.B...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z09lYqdxqzo
Uhh, Im getting so old,
I haven't lurked this hard since I was 19.
Apologize if I say,
Anything I don't mean.
Like what's up with my old friends,
And when they all become mods without me?
And what's up with these new faggots?
All they ever do is post O.C's.

  >>1367
I listen to a fair share of mainstream, a lot of people at my school do.
My Mainstream playlist: Rozay, Wale, Meek Mill (all from MMG), Tyga, Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa, T.I., Lloyd Banks, Big Sean (lolololboi), and J.Cole
>>1321
Yes T.I.
Fuck Pitbull.

Also, goddamnit Weezy...
I tongue kiss her other tongue
Skeet skeet skeet, water gun
Oh my God, Becky, look at her butt! Tunechi!~

>>1367
Mainstream hip hop. To be honest, I don't like most of it. Not because it's "mainstream" or anything, I just feel like a lot of it is very generic. Take this for example:
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh8f0B9A9-E
and compare it to this:
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RYCLfGE-_Q
The reason I don't like the Tyga song is...well, he yells about bitches for 3 minutes. Now obviously Tyga's got MUCH better stuff than that, but compare that song to MF DOOM's Kookies. A song about pornography where he never actually talks about porno by clever use of double entendres. I personally enjoy rap - or any genre - with more meaningful lyrics, you know? Also, I hate Tyga's voice with a passion

However, that's not to say I dislike all mainstream rappers. There's plenty of famous people out there I listen to.
>Odd Future
>Kanye West
>Jay Z
>Eminem
>Bad Meets Evil (Loving Hell: The Sequel)
and some more.

I'll also add a few songs to the thread. Some of my favorites:
>Cunninlynguists - Old School http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k97D1SE9QTE
>GZA - Publicity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiOrX4_Sieg
>Wugazi - Sleep Rules Everything Around Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ourDnKp6x14 (A great mashup album with Wu Tang and Fugazi)
>Deltron Event II - Brothers Will Have to Fight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK_KS3lqquc (So pumped for this album, loved 3030)

>>1321
T.I. buck yeah.

I dislike Pitbull pretty much, I don't feel him, plus it seems like many repetition and simplicism.

>>1367
What is mainstream? I recently rely on luck and links, worked well so far, plus Eur-mainstream =/= US one.
out of your list I only can't enjoy Drake's for long (not sure whether his voice annyoED or annoyING), Em is top tier with me, Jay-Z, Kanye, B.O.B., got a fair amount of tracks I like, the rest have their moments.

Oh shit how could I forget!
OUTKAST!
HEEEEEEEY YAAAAAA

>>2062
hahahaha roses by them is a semi-guilty pleasure for me. fun as fuck to sing with friends

>>2063
That song and "I like the way you move" are classics

>>2067
next to ATLiens, So fresh so clean, The whole world, Ms Jackson, B.O.B., Ghetto Musick at least :P

Also what about Big Boi's solo release Sir Lucious Leftfoot? Grand imho.

Mainstream hip hop has some great lyricists, I'unno why people act like it doesn't.

- Lupe Fiasco
- Nas
- Common
- Andre 3000
- Black Thought

That said 'm not a big party hip hop person, I mean I'm not one of those 'real hip hop' idiots who says it's not actually hip hop, just not for me.

Now, here's my unpopular hip hop opinion.

Eminem is garbage, he hasn't made a good album since MMLP and he's a huge biter.

>>2389
>lyricists
hmm. Maybe this will bring the thread to new life:

What is a good lyricist? Does rap seem to favour/push lyrics more than song? Do you enjoy good music with worse lyrics, good lyrics with worse music or does it always take both?

Why is this album so fucking good?

>>2389
>Eminem is garbage, he hasn't made a good album since MMLP and he's a huge biter.
You might as well have said that you didn't like The Eminem show, because it's the same thing. Everyone knows after that he ran out of material and is now firing off blanks. Granted his blanks now aren't as bad as Encore, but they still lack the bite and emotional value that Eminem had when he had something to say.

>>3867
we talkin the same guy who did Recovery?
>Inb4 my opinion is opinion, and opposing opinion's facts.

>>3872
Recovery is the only bearable album from him.

>>3885
If you find links post em though, please.
I got me dozens of French tracks due to that /phoenix/ thread that are great while i don't understand a thing.

  >>3867
Recovery was literally unlistenable for me.

And the thing about his 'good work' was it was insanely unoriginal and disingenuous. Infinite was him trying to sound like Nas and AZ, SSLP was him trying to sound like Cage, after he bit Cage lines in Infinite. MMLP was okay though.

Now this thread needs Cannibal Ox.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSiRy60QVmo&feature=related

Growing up in the Bay Area, I was exposed to PLENTY of great rap. I'm talking about Mac Dre, Too Short, Yukmouth, 3x Krazy, Smoov-E, Andre Nickatina, E-40, The Federation, and Mac Mall.

I've always loved Immortal Technique, Geto Boys, The Roots, Nas, Common, Outkast, Busta, and most of Wu-Tang.

The best rapper alive is undoubtedly Tech N9ne, though. He's just on a completely different level than anyone else right now. He can be just as fast as Twista or Busta, but his lyrics are so damn original and funny that you'll WANT to listen to it slow. As for his beats, they're on par with (if not better than) any artist from any generation or subgenre. They're like small symphonies.

>The best rapper alive is undoubtedly Tech N9ne
People actually think this?

>>4186
oh you again. I can see his points why he'd say that. Though I consider such rankings purposeless. Calling a favo out of Mane 6 is very hard, but out of dozens valuable artists... downright impossible for me.
>>4110
exposed like your whole life the entire time easy accessible?

Well hello, its nice to be remembered.

I got a question.

What's your take on 50cent and why is he hated in the internet?

>>4233
Well there was a place and time when fiddy was cool. But that time just passed. Also he has done alot of shaddy things I know with G-Unit but I never really paid attention...
But Glad to see this thread alive and kicking So Im gonna post one of the hottest tracks I heard all day..
AND IT JUST CAME OUT TODAY!!!!
Gorillaz, Andr?�?� 3000, & James Murphy....

This thread's lack of The Sound Providers disturbs me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVC4w6syaZc&feature=related

>>4217
But rapping fast has nothing to do with rapping well. And I mean, his rhyme schemes are clever, but he's no Pharaohe Monch and his lyricism doesn't measure up to like, any of the greats.

I mean, I wouldn't mind if people said he was there favorite, but saying he's undoubtedly the best alive is just lul worthy.

>>4233
loliunno. He got some good tracks imo, but I personally grow tired of him really fast.
>>4282
agreed. Like I said, such a title wouldn't be anywhere near sensible anyway.

>>4377
>Mfw I was listening to that album earlier.
It was allright.

  hopefully the rap bronies are nicer than the metal bronies (you know who you are)

I recently saw this as the song used in the commercial for the movie "Safe House" fell in love with it XD

  So Cage and Aesop Rock are releasing an album together, called "Two of Every Animal".

I predict it will be amazing as fuck.

When it comes to hip hop and all, many of my favorite artists/groups are from the 90s and late 80s for some: Tupac, Notorious BIG, Big L, Compton's Most Wanted, Mobb Deep, et cetera.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbhmpKCnVoY

Its not really what he's known for, but Bassnectar has produced some seriously dope hip hop tracks.

>>4855
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaX94S4U3Kk
I get you.

>>4842

>tupac- awesome
>Notorious Big- awesome
>Comptons Most Wanted -awesome

>>4842
Meeeeeeh, I'm half and half with you.

>Tupac
Seriously overrated to me, I mean he's above average but the way he shouts over beats and has a subpar flow really puts me off of him, and people act as if he's the most socially conscious, talented hip hop jesus ever to. I can't listen to him much

>B.I.G
Love a lot of his stuff, he had flow, pretty overrated by some, but still great.

>Big L
Dopeasfuck, punch line king.

>Compton's Most Wanted
Might be because I rarely like gangster rap, especially west coast gangster rap East Coast Mafioso rap is the shit though but I never liked them much. Better than NWA though, in my opinion.

>Mobb Deep
First album was good, second two were 10/10 classics with infinite replayability, after that they sorta fell off. Still put out some amazing stuff.

Honestly though most of my stuff is 2000's underground stuff, lot's of Def Jux and Rhymesayers. Those labels churn out amazing rappers like nothing.

I absolutely adore everything I've heard from DJ Screw. Other than that, I loved Liquid Swords, Madvillainy and cLOUDDEAD.

  Can somebody recommend some group that sounds like these guys? I love The Sound Providers, as I've said several times in this thread, but they take up like 90% of the hip-hop I like. There have to be more people as appealing to me as they are.

>>4890
I know a lot of people put Tupac really high on the pedestal. I mean, most discussions about the greatest hip hop/rap artists will have Tupac and Biggie at the top for most people. For me, I can relate to a lot of what Tupac talks about in songs like So Many Tears, Pain, My Block, Keep Ya Head Up, Changes, et cetera. I also like some of his poetry. But I agree that many people really go overboard with Tupac. I'm not too interested in who is better than who outside of dis tracks and rap/freestyle battles, though, so I tend to ignore the "who is the greatest" debates (though they can be amusing).

And I agree with you about the underground. That's where I tend to find most of my new rap and hip hop. I also like to listen to unreleased singles and non-album singles by the more mainstream artists.

>>4991
I'm not a big single person for some reason, when I find an artist I like, I prefer to have a large catalogue of their music to check out. Most of my underground discoveries come from watching hip hop news / new mixtapes / video jumping and watching labels that put out a lot of artists I like.

And I have to admit, I fall into a lot of those debates about "X artist > Y artist". I've argued for Cage in a lot of Cage vs Eminem debates.

>>5024
I'll have to try your methods out for finding people in the underground. Currently I go by word of mouth.

I hope I didn't make it sound like those type of debates are bad or anything. They're just not my thing.

>>5102
Watching underground labels is probably one of the easiest ways to expose yourself to lots of underground hip hop, since I' bored I'll list off a few popular ones.

>Def Jux
Or Definitive Juxtaposition for long They had to change their name from Def Jux after Def Jam sued them. My personal favorite, though it's criticized by some as being too 'backpacker'
-Artists to watch for from Def Jux-
>Cage
>El-P
>Aesop Rock
>Cannibal Ox
>Murs
>Del Tha Funkee Homosapien

>Rhymesayers
Very conscious label, home to a few of the biggest underground hip hop acts out there
-Artists to watch from Rhymesayers-
>Atmosphere
>Eyedea and Abilities
>Grieves
>Brother Ali
>MF Doom

>Babygrande Records
Probably the most borderline mainstream of the underground labels, it's known for a lot of the hip hop acts that are sometimes referred to as 'entry level underground hip hop', none the less it has some good releases, a share of their releases I hate though.
-Artists to watch from Babygrande Records-
>Jedi Mind Tricks First album was solid, second was a classic, downhill from there.
>Immortal Technique I don't like him, but he's popular
>Cannibus See above
>GZA Amazing artist
>Blue Sky Black Death One of my favorite production teams, not rappers though, just producers

>QN5
Smaller label, sort of kept afloat by one group at this point, but they still have some good releases
-Artists to watch from QN5-
>Cunninlynguists
>Kno
>Tonedeff

>Eastern Conference
Now a deal label, but it released some great stuff while it lasted. Has some of my favorite material.
-Artists to watch from Eastern Conference-
>Copywrite
>Smut Peddlers
>Chief Kamachi
>The High and Mighty
>Tame One

Just for starters.

>>5102
You said many favos date back. Not all.
So what recent output you be jamming to?

>>5110
That is a pretty large list. I recognize a few names, but it will take me a while to get done with it.


>>5119
Hmm, some that I listen to with song from the 2000s are some I also like from the 90s (so some on this list may cross over that barrier or probably would have been on that first list, too): Nas, Geto Boys, Jedi Mind Tricks, Wu Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, MF Doom, Tech N9ne, Deltron 3030, et cetera. I have a feeling I probably listen to a bit more of the earlier stuff from some of these artists as compared to their more recent stuff.

>>5124
>Nas
To be fair Nas was out before Tupac or Biggie, he's still one of the greatest rappers of all time.

>Wu-Tang Clan
Same as above, but fuck yes, the Wu is my shit. I used to be the worlds biggest Wu-Tang stan. Who's your favorite member?

>MF Doom
Mah nigga

>Deltron 3030
Mah nigga [2]

>Jedi Mind Tricks
First two albums were great, then at Visions of Ghandi and beyond only their songs with solid guest features kept me hooked, some of the songs were amazing though. Like I love Saviorself and On the Eve of War. When Jus came back though it was over, something happened to him when he left, he used to be amazing, now he just raps like he's shouting out McDonalds orders.

And take your time with the music, you don't even have to check them all out, just some general recommendations.

  Odd Future getting their own TV show.

>>5131
>To be fair Nas was out before Tupac or Biggie, he's still one of the greatest rappers of all time.

lol, true. That is my mess up not including him on my first list, but he isn't the only one I forgot to list.

>Same as above, but fuck yes, the Wu is my shit. I used to be the worlds biggest Wu-Tang stan. Who's your favorite member?

I haven't really thought about who is my favorite. I'll need to do a lot of listening and figure it out! I think you guys were discussing this a bit earlier in the thread. I'll have to reread what y'all said.


>And take your time with the music, you don't even have to check them all out, just some general recommendations.

Thanks for putting that list together. Knowing me, I'll be checking everyone out even if it takes me a couple of weeks to get around to some of them.

  I just skimmed this thread, and no mention of Immortal Technique?
Really?

  No idea why he goes by King Geedorah for this release but the knowledge that King Geedorah is a three headed dragon makes it somewhat of a misnomer to such a cool and toned sound rather than the bombastic Godzilla fighting terror that bears its namesake, but a lot of shit doom does is kind of weird and unpredictable. An eccentric of the scene indeed.

>>5423
>>4110

>>5423
Honestly, Immortal Technique is kind of terrible. I'd much rather get my socially conscious hip hop fix from someone who's a lot more skillful of an MC like Mos Def, Nas or The Roots when they go that path.

Also lol@some of the stuff that nut case actually believes.

"Illuminati trying to raise the devil at any cost,/

  Just found these guys about a minute ago, Copywrite

also does anybody know when the next Shad LP hits?

>>5566
I agree for the most part. I like his generic battlerap kinda stuff though, like the hidden track at the end of Dance With The Devil (An incredibly overrated song). There are a shit ton of other guys who do it better though.

  >Busdrive

  >Masta Ace

  >seeing Cannibal Ox in this thread

Vast Aire (with Raekwon and Vordul Mega no less!)

Hey, I have to debate online for a class of mine. I need any information, statistics, etc. on why rap isn't a negative influence on the youth of America. Thought this would be the best place to ask.

So, anyone got something like that?

http://www.mediafire.com/?2eb1kffa3ow4hb1

Milo - "Milo Takes Baths"

Download this album, I really like it, it's pretty chill.

>>5577
Agreed, I like some of his punchlines, and that hidden track is pretty fun. I think my favorite Immortal Technique punchlines is "Remember something nigga, while you rave and rant, a roach can live 9 days without his heead, but you can't."

>>5576
Speaking of punchlines, Copy is one of the unacknowledged masters. "Try to sound like Pete Nelson, but you can't even Copywrite!"

>>5582
>mfw more CanOx fans

>that feel when seeing Method Man & Redman tomorrow night

Welp Cage, you old self-proclaimed, I'm at giving it a shot.
>Def Jux
So far... not really something I feel. DTFH is cool with the Gorillaz and "If you must", Cage on "Look at what you did", but apart from that nothing caught my ear so far. Not my kind of beats, too trancy and unaccentuated maybe.
More maybe tomorrow.

>>5758
you lucky bastard

>>5894
You're listening to the wrong Cage album. Depart From Me is his worst, you have to really appreciate Cage as an artist already and have an invested interest in his life story to fall in love with that album. If you're going to try Cage, listen to one of these two albums, both sound completely different, but both are amazing.

>Movies for the Blind
Try this if you want to listen to a PCP addict fresh out of a mental ward giving you graphic descriptions of the fucked up things inside his head. It has a definite horrorcore feel to it, though it's done in a way that feels believable... Probably because at the time, Cage really was doing a lot of self harm, PCP and rape. My all time favorite album.
>Stand out tracks
Agent Orange, Among the Sleep, In Stoney Lodge, Suicidal Failure

>Hell's Winter
This is the album Cage did after he got off of PCP, it's a bit closer to Depart From Me in that it's a very self expressionist album, not much preachy conscious stuff, but what sets it apart from DFM is the fact that he keeps a lot of his older delivery. His layered vocals really add emphasis to some songs, with one voice sounding rather constant and the layered part coming in sounding like his old PCP addled voice. While a lot of the songs deal with his childhood and all of the terrible things that happened in it, he still breaks out for a few songs that are a lot more... Well, they're closer to old Cage. You get a taste of his mastery of horrifying visuals in "Subtle Art of the Breakup Song"

>Ctrl+F Hopsin, no results

I just found out about this guy when I heard Tech N9ne's "Am I a Psycho?". I didn't know what he looked like, and I didn't care, because he fucking killed that track. I hate like 80% of new school rap, but I can recognize that Hopsin is?�?�?� one of the most talented rappers out right now, young or old.

People say he's mean, gross, disrespectful, unoriginal, and wierd. But dammit, he's great!

Has no POS gotten posted up in here? Because he's a fucking genius.

I fucking love how this track blooms.

Ugh, simply can't stand Hopsin or any of this new kiddie horror core that's getting so popular. That goes for Tech N9ne and OF.

But at least they're popular off their own merit. Hopsin is just a beef monger who disses whoever's popular at the moment.

Now for some El-P.

BUILDING TOMMOROW'S FATHER TODAY!

Two really cool songs I just ran across on my .mp3 player. I'll admit I got a whole lotta Common Market, mainly because they're from Seattle like me. But then again the whole regional rivalry has been a part of hip-hop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIx5pmijkv8

And because I don't see no Das Racist, I think a link to a song of theirs would be pertinent. Also I don't mean to start anything, but fuck LMAFO, they're just Das Racist's retarded little brother.

>>6748

El-P? God I fucking love that dude. He's a brilliant producer and rapper.

>>6750
El-P is amazing, as a huge Def Jux fanboy I practically worship him

>>6755
How can anyone NOT be a Def Jux fanboy? It's probably one of the best labels in hip-hop.

>>6757
Hi. I love you.

Def Jux doesn't get half of the love it deserves man, I swear. With releases like CanOx and El-P, mother fuckers are like the face of experimental hip hop. Plus my favorite rapper of all time is >name<. Nice to see other fans of Def Jux around here. I mean, I started on underground hip hop with JMT and the whole AOTP scene, but Def Jux is just soooooo much better than most of the underground stuff that gets hype from the majority of people.

>>6769
After reading all your posts in this thread, I can say the feeling is mutual. Except I liked Depart From Me. It isn't his best, but for someone who's gone crazy, Depart From Me is like a soundtrack to it. But his first two are better yeah, also his EPs are interesting.

I'll admit I'm more for Aesop and Del though, but after really listening to Cage, I can say he's on my top 10 list.

I'll admit I listened to Immortal Technique when I didn't know any better and was of the opinion that if it wasn't political, it wasn't shit. Then I actually started listening to his lyrics...oh fucking Jesus Christ they are terrible. It's like reading a "Truther" website by someone who's fucked up on some really bad acid and watching the entire David Lych box set over and over again, stopping to either read the Bible or browse Ogreish(defunct now for a very good goddamn reason) for news. But then again, that's just my opinion.

But yeah, Def Jux and Rhymesayers are pretty much my goto labels. I used to watch Sage Francis, but then Li(f)e happened. I think he was trying to do an Everlast(who I like, mostly for nostalgia) and failed. But then again, Everlast had only one good album, or at least Whitey Ford Sings the Blues is the only good album I've heard out of him.

Anyway, I think I should link a couple of songs now, since this is a music thread.

Now this next track is by a Northwest group, and I'll admit I'm a little biased because I've hung around them and they're all pretty cool dudes. It's a shame the song is a little dated with the Bush shit, but still pretty topical.

  >>4110
Eyyyup.
Bump because Tech N9ne and Yukmouth are my two favorite rappers.
<-----And this is why.

I won't be as presumptuous as to say that they're the "best" rappers, but I know what I like! :P

  Yyyeeeaaah, obviously I don't know how to embed. x___x

Let's try again!

This my bud's Rap project, Kay P. Kay

most of it is freestyled, you can call it nerdcore or whatever but he mostly does slam poetry and obviously takes a lot of influence from that style and Scroobius Pip. I am trying to produce some original tracks for the raps but it is tricky, very tricky with the limited equipment I have right now.
We are in the process of some other cool stuff, I am writing my own material and we're having fun so, I am content.
http://kaypkay.bandcamp.com/

  >>6912
y not Oxmo effing Puccino?
Found a couple of grand tracks. Mostly rather chill.

>>6921
Oooh, cool stuff man. BTW, what are you using? I use a cracked copy of Renoise to make shitty electronic music after having just about enough of Audacity.

we were a bit lazy so we just ripped some instrumentals from our respective music libraries and pasted into Audacity, which is a bit of a pain when trying to remix tracks. We are using a Shure microphone into a tascam interface straight into the USB. I keep insisting the levels need adjusting but he says it's fine. the vox are just a little too high on the gain which gives it an awkward prominence. I have a new idea on how to mix original tracks though using live instruments like acoustic guitars and coffee tables.

here is another project of my other buddy under the alias of Ant Man in collaboration with Megatokes. Not as much existentialism and angular Rap stylings with strict rhythm as Kay P. Kay. This can be more likened to a Lil B. mixtape, nothing too serious just fun stuff.

http://megatokesandantman.bandcamp.com/

"We be gettin olda" single and "the Blunts 40s and Bitches Mixtape"

  One of my recent favorites...

One more - another from Wugazi. Seriously, it's one of the best mashup albums I've ever heard.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqOAkJ_-VYs

>>6980
dope

  >>6921
I actually really liked those. The beats were great, and the guy's a pretty awesome lyricist from what I heard. Keep it up, I'd like to see some more of this.

>>6883
You might want to check these guys out if you haven't already. Most of their beats have a dubstep feel to them, really different from anything I've ever heard. Some of their songs are kinda hit and miss for me, though.

>>6809
I didn't hate all of Depart From Me, but I have such high standards for Cage... And while songs like Nothing Left To Say, Depart From Me, Eating It's Way Out Of Me and I Never Knew You work for me, he has songs like Fat Kids Need An Anthem, Kick Rocks, Captain Burnout and Teenage Hands that just make me cringe. I still have like half of that album on my iPod though.

Cage just released a throwaway track from his new album on his soundwave a week or so ago. Gotta say, for a throwaway track it was amazing, he's back to Movies for the Blind style for it... So really anticipating the new album.

  >>7035
I get that totally. Some of those songs weren't up to his regular calibur. I'm personally super stoked for his album with Aesop Rock.

Anyway, here's a track from Bianary Star, because no one remembers them and I loved their work after picking up their first album on accident.

>>7144
I love Binary Star, that album is a fucking classic. Favorite track off of it's gotta be The KGB, just because that beat is dopeasfuck

What the fuck is nigga noise?

  Guys, I'm a little worried about the severe lack of Atmosphere in this thread.

>>7476
I hadn't heard that whole album, so I was blind till you mentioned this song. Now...oh man...this song is really amazing.

To all those who don't know, here's this fucking brilliant song:

Bianary Star - KGB

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw14PQgG54Q

Also am I the only one interested in their upcoming album? That and Cage and Aesop's album are two albums I just can't wait for.

Also because someone mentioned that there isn't enough Atmosphere here, I think I'll post one of my favorite songs off of The Family Sign.

The Last to Say - Atmosphere

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz90bM0kdc4&feature=fvsr

>>7641
Eh, not here or there on Binary Star coming out with more stuff. I'll check it out, but the only album I've heard by them is Master's Of The Universe so I'm not as invested in it. Hopefully it'll be good though. I'm really excited for the new Deltron 3030 album though

>>7643
Oh that shit is gonna be amazing.

  On another note, I see no one has posted M.F. Doom's and Prefuse 73's song Blacklist. This is a shame, it must be corrected.

Also I'm gonna post a guilty pleasure of mine, Control Machete. The video for this song is really retarded though, but shit if that horn line and some of the dudes' flows are fucking great. But then again that might be just because I like hearing forign rappers.

Control Machete - Si Se?�?�or

Whats everyones opinion on the tupac hologram anyway?
It looked ridicilously real, right down to the creases in the fucking trousers and gestures. Also, they're having talks about taking pac on the road with them.

>>7720
I thought it was creepy as fuck. The dude's dead, let him have some dignity.

Pac was a pretty good rapper, but dude wasn't the best in my opinion. I might be alone in my assertation, but still, I think it's creepy how some people glorify him. Yes he was amazing, but at the same time, we have to let him go. Just glorifying him doesn't advance the genre in any way, listening to what's new, what's not mainstream, that's what'll really advance hip-hop. So in a way, I see the 2-Pac hologram as a stagnation of the genre.

Those're my two bits, what about everyone else?

I have created the greatest thing all of you have ever seen.

Don't worry bros, more of this shit is going to come. It's not getting a really positive reception over on FIMFiction, but at least some people aren't throwing it away instantly just because it's a Rapper in Equestria story.

Also, Gucci is going to get wasted alongside the Diamond Dawgs, if it matters.

You know what today is.

Well, as REAL Hip Hop/Rap fans.. Can we all agree that every Brony Rapper fucking blows?

Yeah, yeah. Sounds harsh. "Every? No way! What if there is a good one?" Okay, pal. Show me on good Brony rapper and you get my fucking cookie until then..

-MicTheMicrophone - SUCKS
-IBringDaLulz - SUCKS
-YellingAtCats - SUCKS
- Every other random Brony rapper that I don't even fucking care to remember the shitty name of - SUCKS

All Brony Rappers suck. Prove me wrong.

Until then, I'll be listening to real Hip Hop/Rap.
Thank you, and have a shitty day, assholes.

>>8140
Brony music of most genres isn't that great.
But it's not like people expect evolutionary artists that write songs about ponies.

>>8143

>>8140
nice way of starting a discussion and blocking it yourself. you calling people names that showed no instnace of opposing you beforehand out of the blue for what now?

>>8140

I hear Machine Gun Kelly is going to make a brony rap.

>>8143

It seems like bronies tend to stick lesser known genres, and for whatever indecipherable reason, dubstep as well.

Also, I found a game where you play as a member of the Wu-Tang Clan and have to save a magical baby with a necklace from a sewer wizard and his panda. It's pretty damn fun.

http://www.talesofgames.com/sewergoblet/

"It was an ordinary day at the Wu-Tang mansion. Ghostface and Raekwon tossed around a football in the backyard while Ol' Dirty Bastard, RZA, and the rest of the gang watched the game inside. What nobody expected was the knock at the door that would forever change their lives.

Much to their surprise, a tiny but majestic baby with a mysterious pendant was on their doorstep and with nowhere else to go and no sign of who the baby belonged to, the Wu-Tang Clan had no choice but to adopt the tot and nickname him the Wu-Tang Baby.

Little did they know, this baby was much sought after by an eldritch wizard living in the sewers for his pendant, and when the baby was kidnapped by the Cheese Panda XD, a henchman of the wizard, the Wu-Tang Clan was tasked with finding the wizard's lair in the sewers and rescuing the kidnapped baby from his evil clutches in Tales of Game's Studios Presents The Sewer Goblet: The Wu-Tang Clan and the Wu-Tang Baby!"

Play this. Now.

a strange tone, but you seem more leveled now.

Myself I think "Been Dreamin", "Nightmare Night" are good, "Pony Swag" okay. But apart from rap, the issue is there's hardly anything sounding/feeling hiphop in borny music to me. It's mostly one-and-a-half-handed rap on the same ole electronic beats.

Here's a little story I like to tell about 3 young mares you know so well.

It started way back in history with Carrot top, (Roseluck)Rose, (Derpy)and me,(Group) Der-py!

They had a little posse named Raul Pevere, Just them and their posse and a quart of Apple Beer.

Ridin' 'cross the land, kickin up sand, sherrif's Stallion's on their tail cuz they're in demand!

One lonely filly I be, All by myself without nobody.

The sun is beating down on my favorite hat. The air was getting hot, Apple Beer was getting flat.

lookin for a Colt, I ran into a Mare. Her name is Derpy Hooves, I said howdy, she just stared.

>>8155

It's hilarious.

>>8154
>>8158

It's a joke.

>>8159
>>8160

It's a tragedy.

>>8162

It's better if you provide some links.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlkZfeGZSd4&ob=av2n

It's the best song by the best rapper ever!

>>7724

Also, I was wondering if I should stick Waka Flocka into this story as well, where they don't know each other (they met in 2006, I think). Think about it, 1017 Brick Squad before they even start rapping together!

>>8162
I've heard all the songs you listen, and I'm sorry but they are just crap. "Nightmare Night" rap-wise was just embarrassingly bad, of course the instrumental to it was wonderful because WoodenToaster (Glaze) has always been good at that. But Rap? I'm sorry, but just none of these 'Rap' songs appeal to me in any way. Their flow sounds just redundant. Their lyricism is non-existent. And there is literally no serious meaning to any of them other than, "HEY LOOK! PONIES!" Swagberg may be the best Brony rapper, but he's still whack as fuck when it comes to rap in general. The reason he's the only tolerable one is because he at least has an alright flow. But even then, his lyricism blows and he has no meaning at all. And when I say his flow is alright, I mean just that. It's ALRIGHT. Nothing compared to just about any real rapper out there.
That basically puts it in perspective. The best Brony Rapper is the best because his flow is alright. That's just sad.

And as for 'seeming upset' I was. Very upset. Because no matter where I go someone IS always trying to shove Brony rappers' dick in my ass!

BlahB lahasdgfhdfsfu8sed7gves

Oh, here's some copypasta. I wrote this when I was level-headed one time. Maybe it will get my point across better.

"I just don't appreciate it when a bunch of people that don't even like rap say a?�?�?� song is good just because the subject is there interests. So I find people saying, not this song in particular this applies to ALL Brony rappers, that a rap song is amazing or that a rapper is 'The Best Rapper Ever' when the person saying it doesn't even like/listen to rap. So basically, you hand that person a rap song that does not pertain to Ponies and they say it's garbage. They don't know RAP. They know Ponies."

^That about does it.

Okay, okay. I'm done. This was way too long. Apologies.

>>8168
*Listed* not 'Listen'... Blah..

>>8166
I fucking read this on skype to 6 people (non-bronies).

>"Every nigga loves the Guc'"
>"Everynigga? You mean everypony right?"

Fucking bawled for 5 minutes.

>>8172

Good to know it's appreciated. I'm not sure how well I do Gucci, but maybe I can pull off Waka too.

>>8199
I don't wanna start an arguement, but you appear to have an extreme reaction to his posts rustles. Your jimmies seemed to have rustled completley out of control, and the rustling seems to have spread to your lungs and upper body.
I'm sorry, but you have terminal stage lung rustles. Treatments are available to help you along during this difficult time if you wish for it, just so you know.
No need to be mean for no reason.

Anyway, I'm interested in some rap history. How is it that Biggie was the one to save the East Cost? Surely there was better artists than him residing in the East? Or was it the novelty that he was fat, too?

>>8168
I got no clue how long they been rapping anyhow. I tend to go easy on shit because criticzing after is always easier than doing better yourself.
oh and
Your pasta. Word.
But that's the issue with every laymen-expert-thing. If people stopped talking about what they don't know and resorted to "hey I like that", it would be more honest and humbler, but at the same time maybe more boring.
Also I try to stick to not acting like I knew it all. When noone does.

>>8238
Probably has to do with less of his solid talent and more of his mysterious death. I wouldn't know, just throwing it out there.

Biggie is considered the savior of the East Coast because he got major mainstream success in the wake of West Coast domination because of acts like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and others.

Hi, bronies. At first, I wanna say sorry about my English. I'm able to understand what will u say, but it's hard to me to speak using English language. Anyway, I wanna ask you for your opinion about Russian hip-hop. I know, that you can't understand text and punchlines, but you can listen for flow, and it's so interesting for me, because Russian rap is really weak in it.
So, i hope you won't ignore it and will say your opinion. Thanks anyway. If you will want, I can try to translate these songs from Russian to English for you.
