I've been listening to gangsta rap lately. All I really know is Boogie Down Productions, Eazy E, and NWA.. I've heard other groups but I didn't really like them... So give me some good groups! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zLH4gHdM_M"]9mm goes bang
Spice 1 -Welcome to the ghetto -the thug in me -187 pure -jealous got me strapped -1990 sick (kill em all) Andre nikatina -Jungle -my rap world -powda 4 tha hoes -situation critical -smoke dope and rap -that -peanut butter breakdown -fears of a coke lord Mac dre: -too hard 4 the radio -California livin -uninvited -life's a bitch -gumbo -gangsta niggaz -I need an eighth -doing what we do. E-40: -captain save a ho -sideways -dusted n disgusted That's some West coast gangsta rap alot of it from the same time period also check out: 2pac,Too Short, Scarface, Gangstarr, ice t
I liked Mac Dre and Spice 1 but the other two not so much. I'm gonna check out the last couple right now though.
Geto Boys I especially recommend Dirty Bitch from the newer Geto Boys and Damn It Feels Good to be A Gangsta (which I predict you've heard) from the older Geto Boys Dipset's stuff from the early 2000s, especially Diplomatic Immunity 2 Master P My Dogs, Bourbouns and Cadillacs, and Mr. Ice Cream Man being the ones that come to mind quickest I'll post a bunch when I get home =D
1320records.com has a free album from "super galactic expansive" maybe a bit to electronic influenced for you, but its hip hop influenced for sure.
2pac Shakur has made me hate all other rap Start with the songs: Hell Razor, Bury Me a G, Wonda Why They Call You Bitch, My Block, Picture Me Rollin, 16 on Deathrow, and Hit Em Up (Taught people not to piss him off). If you enjoy lyrics, R U Still Down (Remember Me), Me Against the World, and Still I Rise are my favorite albums. If you just enjoy rap for beats and rhymes my favorite album is Thug Life, technically by Outlaw Immortalz
Ol' Dirty Bastard is good. If you like 90's underground rap though I would recommend Tommy Wright III. This mother fucker is hard as shit. Some other not so well known shit is Criminal Mane, and maybe check out the song My Opinion by Mac Mall. This song by B.G Knocc Out and Dresta is sick to, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIkv2E9fH_s.
