Rap/Hip-Hop Appreciation Thread

This thread is for fans of Rap and Hip-Hop :D
Well i love Rap and hip/hop, Favorite is obviously Eminem, i like eminem's older songs rather than his new stuff, i hate Love The Way you Lie, i hate it ALOT. It would have been better if Eminem sang the chorus. The new album is pretty good, Eminem said his favorite song from it was Your Never Over, since it is dedicated to Proof
Speaking of Proof i don't think he is that good, he is ok but not very good :o
D12 is ok, they were good when Eminem was actively in the group :p

50 Cent's Rap's are pretty good, 50 makes good Dance music too, and his new album that was suppose to come out this summer (Black Magic) was suppose to be more of Dance (club) music, but i haven't heard much more about it, oh yah and it was suppose to have 19 tracks in it!

Cashis is a rapper also in Shady Records and he is pretty good so far, he sounds a lot like 50 cent, he only has 1 album but i hear there is another on the way i believe.

And last for now but not least
SlaughterHouse is a rap group of 4 guys, one of there rappers (royce) was Featured in Bad Meets Evil (from Eminem's slim shady lp i believe) And now they are signed to Shady Records. They were in Eminem's song Session One, it was part of Recovery Deluxe edition, well Session one was mostly them singing though, they are pretty good actually, i can't wait till there first album :D!

Anyway DISCUSS!! Dont let this thread die!

I didn't like N.W.A very much, i only like the straight outta compton album and thats it

I'm a massive hip hop fan. It's white as hell I know, but I'm into older stuff. Jazz hop is what I love. A Tribe Called Quest, obviously, and De La Soul.
Also on my list:
The Dream Warriors
Jurassic 5
Chali 2na
Q-Tip
Outkast

there's more but i can't think now.

really great stuff! i can give specific recommendations as to songs and albums if anyone wishes.

And also NWA sucks :D

I do like rap and hip-hop but I don't like much of them.
I only like: Eminem, Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac.
That's all for me.

Uk version of him :p

more like straight outta poopton!
or poop outta poopton!

I have a weird feeling 50 cent's new album is going to have a #1 hit on it.... i just have the feeling since its going to be club music, thats like a full album of songs like In Da Club and Disco Inferno

airplanes XD !!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW6b1cKSjbE

Eminems part in Airplanes Part 2 is good :p

OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

A7X knocked Eminem off number 1 in the US at somepoint recently. I was in France and so unable to laugh, but still.....

Where do you see that Alex? im looking on itunes and number 1 is a lil wayne song, Eminem is down to number 5 though but love the way you lie is horrible IMO anyway so :p

anyway best freestyle ever, this guy made it because he wrote all the lyrics for Lil waynes first album and he didn't get one publishing check. WARNING: Lots of language

Wait i could have sworn UK has Ipods and such, and Iphones :o
Anyway Itunes is a place to downloaded music and its where pretty much where 95% of americans who buy there music buy it from.

-_-

I know what iTunes is lol, i meant the US has a billboard chart thing, and i have no idea what that is...

i pretty much live, eat, and breathe hip-hop.... though I don't really follow new releases like i did when i was younger.

my all time favs in semi-particular order;

rza
2pac
nas
method man
canibus
ghostface killah
eminem
pharaohe monch
tonedeff
mos def
lauryn hill
last emperor
hittman

I like a few main-stream artists (Kid Cudi, Lupe Fiasco, Outkast, B.o.B) and a few lesser known (Wale, etc) but I don't tend to delve deep into the underground for other rap artists. I'd much rather look for underground pop-rock and alternative...

I'm not a fan of the big names e.g. Eminem, Lil Wayne, 50 cent... I personally just don't like their music.
