clueless person needs, well, clues

public enemy is in there, but theres other more musical stuff. Jurassic five ish stuff.. i cant really say any more with any authority.

 

Jurassic 5 FOR FUCKING SURE
Public Enemey
2pac (in my opinion, greatest rapper there's been. Some are turned off because of the shit he talks about (drugs, women, shooting peeps, but what rapper doesnt?) but fact of the matter his writing was so brilliant and deep. He layed it on the table just like it went down.

 

beastie boys, public enemy, NWA

 

biz markie, kriss kross, kid n play LOL!

 

Marky Mark ,Vanilla Ice,LL Cool J ,Run DMC,NWA and Public Enemy.

 

and dont trust any of us, btw. xcept me of course. what the hell are you asking hippies about rap for anyway.. are you krazy?

 

J5 is too early for 94... J5 didnt roll around til late 90s...

NWA was the start of the whole "gangsta rap" scene...

 

a tribe called quest



i'm too young to really remember any bands that far back

 

J5 - first lp, 1998
