So the country music thread got me thinking... who in here other than me is into hip hop?

i am...im not really into all that 50 cent "gangsta" stuff..more into the chill stuff..like lupe fiasco, nas, jay-z...sometimes biggie...oh and lots of UG hip-hop!!

most of the new stuff sucks...there a few good ones but the best is the old school hip hop. Run-DMC, Whodini, Slick Rick, Dougie Fresh, Grandmaster Flash...etc. Thats what i listen to.

good taste... the only new guy i like is lupe, and hes actually pretty amazing when it comes down to his lyrics. hes got some real nice mixtapes too. i listen to nas the most though probably. also, biggie, big l, jay, tupac, krs one, rakim (and eric b), wu tang as a collective and all of them individually too, az, common, a tribe called quest, de la soul, slick rick, cunninlynguists, nwa, most def, talib... but yea, new **** on tv give hip hop a bad rep

-huge underground hiphop fan.. like immortal technique, eyedea, sage francis, dynospectrum etc etc are basically all i listen to cept when im pissed then its punk rock or somethin loud and angry lol

i said a hip hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop..

lol i thought that as soon as i saw the title of this thread

i like some of it. mainly the stuff that actually has meaning, not the ridin rims, and money, and slappin a ho. thats just not right, bu tlike eminem and nelly's Suit album that come from mostly real experiences with family and a hard beat!

no thx.

needless to say, some songs are degrading to women. =(

i only like candian and british rap and hip-hop...aka The Street, Lady Sovering, Swollen Members, Sweatshop union, Code name scorpion, moka only, Classified. I like them because they arent like traditonal rap and hiphop. They sing about real life stuff and they also use really different beats than tradtional stuff. like for example
The Streets - Blinded by the lights
Classified - All About you
Classified - The Maritimes

I like class cuz hes just some kid from a small town like 20 KM away from Halifax

nice...thats the kind of hip-hop im into!

-listen to lupe fiasco... he used to hate hip hop because it was degrading to women... he doesn't even swear in his songs

good song

it would be an understatement to say i cant stand most rap and hiphop, but that song was pretty good. i like it a lot

Wow, amazing song.. Is all of his stuff that good? What are some other good songs from him?

Most of his music is politically based but all REALLY good, hes my fav artist... Download "Dance with the Devil", freakin crazy

yea thats a sick song... i get kinda sick of immortal technique though. hes far too political for me, and he has way too many conspiracy theories. plus, his lyrics are just flat out gross some of the time. but when he just tells stories and stuff, like dance with the devil, i like that side of him a lot. revolutionary vol 1 and 2 damn good albums IMO, and thats kinda saying a lot since i don't really dig his style most of the time

but if youre a real hip hop head, especially from the old school, and you got 50 minutes to kill...

the history of hip hop, in order... 800 tracks in 48 minutes. should bring back some good memories

i like some of it... i'm kinda more into r&b though, but i do like TI and Chamillionaire.... but my latest favorite is George, I dunno if you guys have heard of him, but he's more so r&b. gonna see him live april 4.

naw i dont know who that is... is he new somewhat? r&b isnt really my thing. it does hit the spot sometimes though when the mood is right. im going to see nas april 21...so excited for that. i was gonna see the game last month but it got canceled because he was sick or something

Queens rappers run all you B*****s, haha. cant beat tribe called quest

seriously though, i love good hip-hop. lupe and nas are playing at my school, cant wait.
