YES! Devin the Dude, i compltely forgot about him, haha, he's awesome. A Tribe Called Quest are really great also. I'd have to say The Slim Shady LP was better than The Marshall Mathers LP.

[Baz2137]

Ok i have to say no a days Juelz Santana What the Games Been Missing, Cam'ron Killa Season, and Lil Wayne Tha Carter 2 are the best fucking albums out there, listen to them, and LOVE them!!!!!!

'Infamous up in this you how we get down is that your hoe shes feelin our style we come to the spot real heavy on the waist...'

And for all you biggie fans the best songs to listen to are as follows: 10 Crack Commandments, Juicy, Big Poppa, Dead Wrong, and the biggie vs tupac freestyle that i've learn by heart word for word...''I've got 7 mack 11s,about 8 38s, 9 9 mack 10s the shits never ends, you cant touch my riches even if you have mc hammer and them 357 bitches, biggie smalls the millionaie the mansion the yacht the 2 weed spots the 2 hot glocks, ha, thats how i got the weed spot, i shot dread in the head took the bread and the lamb spread, little gotti got a shot to your body, so dont resist or you might miss christmas, I toke guns I make number runs i give the mcs the runs drippin when i throw my clip in the ak I sway from far away everybody hit the d.e.c.k., my slow flows remarkable, peace to mataio now he smokes weed like tony montana sniffs the yayo...'' on and on

I think Eminems Slim Shady LP is the closest thing that rap has came to punk rock. That album was so creative and so out there when it came out.

[3rdEyeVision]

Anybody else notice like 85% of these albums people are saying arent hip hop lol, just noticed after I posted up.....if you dont know what I mean Eminem, D12, Wu tang, Mobb Deep, Ice cube, Snoop Dogg, Tupac isnt hip hop....Also how has noone mentioned De La Soul lol they've made some Classics the grind date is a pretty good album, Black Moon has made some really good songs, Erik B and Rakim is also cool to listen too if your into that oldschool shit, already made a thread about it but Dangermouses Grey Album should be in every home across America lol its the one with Jay-z's Black Album lyrics and The Beatles White Album beats

[anycraic]

dont really know much bout rap/hip hop but beastie boys, mos def, jurassic 5, roots manuva, nwa, early snoop dogg, mf doom, mf grimm, wu tang, tupac all sound good to me. man all that bitch hop out these days gives me brain damage

[yoda]

so whats the difference between hip hop and rap?

and doesnt anyone else like shaq?

[rhino44]

"cain't nun of ya'll punks stop ma dunks" lol Shaq is funny but he doesn't stand up to the rest in my opinion

[yoda]

"cain't nun of ya'll punks stop ma dunks" lol Shaq is funny but he doesn't stand up to the rest in my opinion

i was only kidding though, i wouldnt listen to shaq even if he gave me all his money. sike, yeah i would.

[Mista Sippi]

like homey above said, eric b and rakim is excellent
as of late, chamillionaire stands out above everybody
when others are rappin bout dealin drugs and shootin guns,
cham has some deep lyrics. i strongly suggest any fan of hip hop
to go buy sound of revenge. instant classic, every song jams from start
to finish. and of course bun b. check out trill, bun b is def king of the rap game imho

[3rdEyeVision]

so whats the difference between hip hop and rap?


I acually don't really know the difference I guess but rap is usually alot "darker" and over one looped beat made with computers and shit....with hip hop the producers are usually way more involved in things, digging for old records to make songs better, makeing remixs etc. its really hard to specifically point out the difference though but you can usually hear the difference between the two

[s2headhunter]

kanyes latest album was sickly good

hip-hop is a lifestyle...and rapping is somthing you do...just because a lot of the rappers named like Eminem, D12, Wu tang, Mobb Deep, Ice cube, Snoop Dogg, Tupac...didnt come out in the golden era of hiphop doesnt mean its not hip-hop..its still hip-hop today whether you like the music now or not...

no doubt the older stuff was better hiphop...doesnt mean the new shit aint hiphop...hip-hop is pretty much, is just about being diffrent from everyone else...just because you dont liek Eminem doesnt mean hes not good...i know plenty of people who dislike Eminem but they can recognize his ability to rap


and Mobb deep not hip-hop?! now they suck yes...but listen to Infamous...one of there first albums, you cant find another album like that one

You need to check out mixtapes., the grey album is a mixtape(obviously), but my point is, the mixtapes are where its really at..what do you think producers do now?they still come out with remixs...amd producers are digging through crates more than ever now. the producers out now are phenomenal...the beats more complex...yes there still are some beats that are ridiculous but thats hip-hop....always people trying to seperate from eachother, and the ones who copy...well you notice and they end up fizzling out,


you want good producers...check out
tony touch
Clinton Sparks
Timbaland
Dre
Cool and Dre
DJ Smallz
DJ Drama
Shawty Red
Just Blaze
Sha Money XL
9th wonder
J-dizzle(rip)
DJ Khaled....if you have Sirius Satelite radio you can catch a lot of music...the music on the regular radio and on TV do no justice...get mixtapes and satilite radio, they play Dangermouses music on that bitch 2

DM and Jemini was DangerMouse's last good album. DangerDoom was an alright collab, but Jemini...

I only like Cage's in Stoney Lodge. Other than that he pisses me off.


Sweet Talking to your Brain by ADeeM was really good.
Music By Cavelight by Blockhead.
Atmosphere... except seven's travels.
Murs, Felt is a damn good collab.
Real hip hop.


I'm with 3rd Eye on this one.

There's TOO much Pac, we don't need it.

[3rdEyeVision]

I dunno, I kinda feel like hip hop and everything is too big and diverse to put it in one group...like even if you type in rap and then type in hip hop on a fileshare program you can notice a big difference in the artists. I also kinda think rap and hip hop songs are built differently lyric wise, rap is more freestyle ranting(cant really think of anything to explain it), and hip hop usually has a real distinct chorus and almost less of like building up in the song till one point when it climax's its(usually) a constant flow almost.....I dunno though everyone probably has a different opinion on this.

[graph]

I know what you mean. I listen to blockhead, which is really like an electrosomethingorother. Very diverse, but united by their lack of popularity, but their uniqueness of style and intellect.

Where did that come from?

[feedbacker]

i don't listen to a lot of hip hop these days, but my favourite albums are:

a tribe called quest - the low end theory
deltron 3030 - deltron 3030
mos def & talib kweli - black star
de la soul - de la soul is dead

Whatever happened to del?

I read in a magazine that he was supposed to be making a big comeback, but... here we are.
