Rap Music

[Cycofan1]

I know we have these thread all the time, but what are some good rap songs/groups out there that are lesser known or just really good. I'm trying to update my ipod alittle. I listen to old and new (N.W.A., Wiz Khalifa, Run DMC, Lupe Fiasco, ECT.) Please post if you like rap/hip hop don't clog up the thread if you don't. Please post songs below.

Thanks,

I have listened to a lot of rap when I was younger, but this was one of my favorite, none of my friends owned album, had some great guests, great beats:

I don't know how extensive your collection is, but I know you're young so you may not know A Tribe Called Quest.

I would consider most of this to be more hip hop than rap, but it might be along the lines of what you're looking for.

Blue Scholars, Common Market, El-P, Cage, Aesop Rock, Sims, Atmosphere, Eyedea & Abilities, Jurassic 5, tech n9ne, Cunninglinguists, The Cool Kids, Guru, Chiddy Bang, DJ Quik, Grayskul, Immortal Technique

I don't know how extensive your collection is, but I know you're young so you may not know A Tribe Called Quest.

Scenario is lyrically probably my favorite song of all time. The verses are very, very impressive. Q-Tip drops it on that song, even Busta has a great part.

Big Sean is gonna be big. Have you downloaded his mixtapes?

I liked the old east coast stuff from the late 80's/early 90's. Groups like Eric B and Rakim had actual drums and bass lines in their music....it sounded like it was played live, instead of produced noises and sounds from a studio.

Also loved DJ Kwik(sp?), and N2Deep from that era as well.

I don't know how extensive your collection is, but I know you're young so you may not know A Tribe Called Quest.

After looking them up I recoginzed some songs especially Can I kick it! Thank you!

Anything Wale or J Cole.

 

[Jordanj6502]

Blu (Blu & Exile)

Jay Electronica

Eminem's last album "Not Afraid" was SICK.
Wiz is up and coming...should have a good career.
Weezy has a new album coming out in May.
Drake is pretty popular.
Kid Cudi is a nice change of pace...kind of more laid back.
Nicki Minaj can kill it and her album Pink "Friday" is pretty good.

Too busy being Delthefunkyhomosapien.
