Rap that doesn't fucking suck?
 

Recommendations? Seriously, do your best, because it's 99% fucking suck...

:thumbsup

Look for Capone N Noreaga - The War Report 2, just came out. Great new album, real old school rap.

not bad, always liked busta

Yea, Raekwon though, he is on 3 or so songs on this album. and he sounds like the Raekwon from Only Built For Cuban Lynx

Seems like an ok album, I'll have to check it out a little more.

Here's a random one I always liked, even if it was affiliated with 50 cent. I just love the beat...

here are some good old school videos for you

Love Mobb Deep, Just posted one of there classics.

This is probably top 3 all time favorite rap songs

Love the chef, even when all else fails me in the rap realm, i can always fall back on the wu for something great. I'm trying to give rap a chance again, it just seems like everything new or newer is so fucking terrible these days...

Terrible is an understatement. It just is not what it used to be. I like real RAP music. Hardcore beats and lyrics. I dont like this pop shit that is out now.

All old wu is classic.

the double cd is one of my all time favorites. Wu-Tang Forever.

I try to only listen to shit that is pre 2001. The rest is mostly garbage.

Some artists still do the right thing.

Camron, Jadakiss, Fabulous.

I know this isnt techincally rap. But this was my jam back in the day



Whats your name, Lex, Last name Diamonds..

The (mostly) only bad-stereotypical rap is the south side stuff. There's plenty of good stuff all over the place if you are a listener of hiphop/rap. I'm not even going to list anything because there's so much of it.

In fact there's more good (new) stuff out there getting listens than there is the few garbage popular south side rappers. It's just that the masses these days listen to the garbage.

You don't have to listen to old hiphop to hear something good. In fact there are plenty of people these days doing it much better, that is what evolution is for afterall..

It also depends on what your preferences are. Obvously there's not really ever going to be another Wu or Nas sound but there are plenty of people still making songs with lyrics and production on the same level.

:2 cents:

this shit is sick sampling Clockwork Orange

Alch is a great producer... look for his stuff on youtube

2pac, Dr Dre, and Eminem. The rest of them destroyed rap

Fuckin Lootpack

:thumbsup

This is the stuff I like...I never heard a lot of non-radio hits so cut me some slack. :P

Some oz hiphop ftw:




Classic NTM for giggles


Bit of Java

All rap fucking sucks...

Word up yo!

¬_¬



I do agree though, its mindless repetitive bullshit usually involving blacks moaning about being stereotyped, whilst ironically perpetuating it in a video.

if you dont like it then you are gay.

American hiphop, sure. Check the top two clips my post above. Don't be so quick to judge :)
Like every genre, there are sub-genres.

That's like saying all rock is cock-rock.

The only people going hard nowadays are everyone at young money / cash money.

Lil wayne, Birdman, etc.

Everybody else seems like they are too lazy or have made too much money to bother making music anymore. You gotta admit, YMCM works their asses off and never stops. I admire that anyway.

I'll never forget the Ice Cubes, Snoop D oh double g's, Eazy E's, and the group that said mother fuck the po-lice. ;]

If there's any rap I like, it has at least contains a little original musicality...

Cee Lo Green is pretty cool.

Mostly, it sucks ass, as you've already stated. It breaks my heart to see a car bumping some loud rap, with a white boy driving. There's so much good rock out there, and all of the kids are listening to garbage jungle music.

wtf, lil wayne is one of the worst 'rappers' ever. So is everyone else like birdman and shit. And drake. Fucking horrible shit. But lil wayne takes the cake, his shit is really really bad.

Cypress Hill rap is one of the best.
One of the GFY members has Dr Greenthumb in the avatar.

Blackalicious




Various..

the only good stuff is old stuff.

That's almost impossible...

Opinions are like assholes......

So who do you like? That faggot ass 50 cent?

Of course Jay-z, Notorious, Dre, all of those guys are good but im talking current stuff.

Wayne has great raps if you listen to all of his stuff and not just what they play on the radio. Birdman doesnt rap anyway but he still goes harder then 99 percent of other wannabe players in the game. Its all what you like I guess.

Me personally, im about gettin money. I could care less about gettin hoes, sellin dope, and ridin in hoopties with my big as chain hanging low. Gay shit. Plus anybody can rap if they have it wrote for them and go in the studio and lay it down 150 times. If its already in your mind and just flows out and can lay it down like it isnt shit, thats real shit to me. Work hard and get money, thats what im about and therefore makes me like YM / CM as thats what they do.

Anyway. :]

I win...
