Tha Classics

... ah... its nice to download old rap albums i use to own... and look back to when rap was creative and not so "poppy" and recycled like all this new crap... most of ya might think of me as someone who wouldnt like rap or dont... well i dont.. well not any rap past 2000 for the most part.. but i use to love it.. its nice to download that ol shit every now and then... like that Big L and Redman.. Luda's first album.. NWA Eazy Doggystyle... ah when rap was something

 

i never really got into rap, but i'm really starting to get into it lately, that and good hip hop reggae stuff. any suggestions of stuff i should remember to check out?

 

well... lets say if you're looking for good rap... dont listen to anything made today... its all shit... except for some underground hip-hop... i really dig on the "gangsta rap" era of music... it was a great time for rap.. and damn there were so many good songs... classics like NWA..Ice Cube... MC Eiht.. DJ Quik.. Snoop.. Dre... Redman.. Wu Tang... Method Man.. ODB...

 

I miss a Tribe Called Quest. The Low End Theory is one of my absolute most favourite albums.

 

k-os, k-os is good "rap"
michael franti and spearhead, not purely "rap" but good nonetheless

 

i've never listened to rap or anything but i can dig it, i mostly listen to jazz and blues but yeah the guy above me who said "michael franti and spearhead" their pretty good, not exactly rap like he said but i think you'l like it nevertheless

 

most of the older rap is good to listen to, but have to say Del tha Funkee Homosapien and all of the stuff come from Hieroglyphics is best rap out there. Method Man might be the only mainstream rapper I listen to right now.

old snoop and dre.... classic. NWA, jurrassic 5 (old school style), roots

 

yeaaaaa^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ so many memories

 

I fucking hate the rap of today and nobody could pay me to listen to it. Its all about getting money, girls, and fake shit. Its not about the rap anymore, these fake rappers dont even write there own lyrics! If you want TRUE GOOD rappers, i recomend Tupac, Nas, Snoop, Dre, and other old school rappers. This new shit(if its even worthy to be called shit) just sucks ass. People wonder in my school why i dont hang out w/ anyone out of school, there all fake bitches who listen to this new school shit thinkin there "fly". "ohh my diamonds so slick i got a 20 inch dick while rollin with my spinners glistenin im so fly". Ya, thats the shit youll find in kids in my town's AIM profiles. No thanks to that.

 

Matisyahu is very good. Beastie Boys kick ass, too. They've been around for a long time, they write their own shit, they can rhyme, and their lyrics aren't all about the same thing.
