Rap Music

WHOA!!! no thread on rap music... post opinions and favorite artists... dont bash if you dont listen to it :roll: i love rap music and me and my friends used to freestyle alot when we were kids.... now rap is all mainstream and 50 cent sold out and became a bitch ass R&B hook singer, the south is takin over everything (see Lil John, Young Jeezy, Ludacris, etc), people still bitch about whether Tupac was better than Biggie, Jay-Z pretended like he retired from rap, a ROCK band throws out an awesome compilation rap cd with the aforementioned Jay-Z (Collision Course - Linkin Park VS Jay-Z)and rocks my socks off, and Eminem hasnt put out a real album in years ... id say stuff is gettin a little out of hand...

DESPITE the fact i was born, raised, and currently living in Brooklyn, NYC
-my favorite rapper is Ludacris
-Tupac WAS better than Notorious B.I.G.
-i know P. Diddy is a smart idiot with a dumb idiotic name (and millions of dollars to tell me to STFU)
-i know the South is takin over Rap
-No matter how white Eminem, Paul Wall, and Sean Paul are i know theyre black inside
-Lil John trademark "YEAH" is fuckin annoying even if it is catchy as hell
-crunk is OD!!! but everyone does not need to make a crunk song (eyeballs Usher)
-Dipset would be better off without Juelz Santana and his garbage music (props to him tho cuz hes gettin better)
-and finally we all know it but no ones said it even tho were all thinking it...all these R&B bitches need to stay the f*ck outta my rap music

speak on it from the dome my people

Dr Dre - Big Egos

Sean Paul - We Be Burnin'

Nas - You're Da Man

hmmm i guess thats not a small list ...

...I like Sean Paul. XD And Linkin Park is the best. Overall, though, I'm not a big fan of rap music. With a few exceptions, I find it sounds pretty much the same (though the videos are fun to laugh at - with commentary from Ed the Sock, anyway. XD).

Shaggy man.. nutin beats jamaican reggae rap. Wasnt me, personal favourite from him. But my favourite artist is Pharrell Williams, wat a legend, especially wen he was wid NERD.

Yeah, I like that song, too. ^_^

Linkin Park is also pretty good considering they're a rock band as well. Some of their older songs have more rapping, if you want to listen (High Voltage, for example).

Born for hip-hop,that's my life for.My fav one is Snoop Dogg,Tupac,Dr. Dre,Eminem,&BIG!

Biggie was better then tupac,
Eminem was never good and never will be.

I've always listen to rap music however the newer rappers, and their new songs are a lil bit dissapointing, Rap was best in the 90's,

So I mostly listen to older rap songs.
But it happends that I listen to the newer songs/artists quiet often ;) Young Bucks new album T.I.P is great, and even lil wayne made a new good album.

Sean Paul is not even a rapper.....
Whats wrong with Juelz?
I agree with you about the R%B bitches, Omarion FUCK YOU and Mario too!! And Usher don't think youre speciall youre even worse then Omarion and Mario... eew

tupac is better then biggie. eminem and kanye west are two of my favorites. 50 cent sucks. favorite rap song is changes by tupac

I still think that BIG is better then pac and eminem still sucks

japochoboi, kanye is one of your favs? personaly I don't like him, he hasn't done anything good after through the wire. That whole album was lame ( college dropout ) except that song, and his new album is pure horse shit ...
