They blend hip hop/rap with jazz.

Did you ever listen to guru's jazzmatazz, Dream Warriors, or one ofmy favorites, Digable Planets?

Super good intelligent jazzy hip hop

[sharks25]

Kinetics and One Love is probably my favorite duo right now. In case you guys didn't know, he wrote the chorus for BOB's airplanes. Hugely underrated artist. Sign Language is one of the strongest sings I've ever heard, it can bring goosebumps to you.
Besides him I'm listening to:
Logic
Yonas
XV
Mike stud (frat rap)
Dylan Owen
Timeflies
Army of thePharaohs
Wax (sorta joke music)

makes u wonder what 2-pac would be today, he changed the face of rap in his time and i think he still would be no. 1 today as he could of changed the face multiple time as he was that good and would be able to adapt no matter what.  busta rhymes flipped the face of rap in his time and is still going.  i listen to all kinds of music, rap to metal as well. my wife doesn't understand how i can enjoy 2 totally opposite types of music as she cant stand neither but lately these days in age i still listen to rap but i pay more attention to the music than the lyrics and  i think 2 pac would outdo Jay Z any day of the week if he were still around.  rap like old school tribe called quest made sense, rap now a days doesnt make any sense.  there are tons of cool beats out there but the artists preach garbage.

The one freaking thing you capitalize in your whole write up is Jay Z?  That was a tough read!

80's: Rakim
90'S- Guru from Gangstarr
00's- LMNO from Visionaires
10's- Why?


Beats produced by premier and I'm set.

Agree Dj premier is best of all time! Him and guru were such a great combo, I think mass appeal has one of the awesomely beats of all time.

[fore_life]

Agreed MackDaddy.

Did you listen to that Group Home track I posted? One of the best beats premier made.



As far as the super group, how could I have forgotten RZA 36 chambers era and prince Paul.

Gravediggaz first album is incredible.

[ahopkins13]

Im surprised NWA isnt getting more love. One of my 1st CD's was Easy E's greatest hits. still a favorite.

Beastie boys stuff is great too, just hate they got kinda political.

Snoop dog, and Dr. Dre.

For a good throw back Tone Loc.

I'm not at all a hip-hop guy, but I am a big fan of Why?.  I spent a lot of 2005 listening to Elephant Eyelash.  I do like a good bit of stuff Anticon has put out, especially Baths and Clouddead.

Hot fiyah straight off the presses:

The words rap and music should never be used together. It is NOT music, it should be named CRAP.

This phenomenon that is "mostly" performed by African Americans (but certainly not exclusively) is most definitely not an "art form" and most certainly not "music".

The African American performers who came out of Motown in the '50's, '60's, and '70's made some GREAT music. Barry Gordy was largely responsible for their success.

I've got my flame suit on because some of you will undoubtedly label me a racist. I can assure you nothing is further from the truth. I just don't like CRAP, no matter who performs it.

Feel free to add constructive criticism if you like; what you posted, however, is pure ignorance in every way. Just a helpful hint: If you find yourself needing to mention that "some people might think I'm racist" or anything along those lines then you probably are a racist. I'd even give you a little weight if you'd said that mainstream rap in general lacks depth but you clearly haven't delved into the subject to understand that there are most certainly differences between what's on the radio most of the time and what most of us who really enjoy rap and hip-hop find of interest.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I forgot to mention, the Beastie Boys, who started out as an HC band.  Since you mentioned punk,  "Holly Snapper" is the epitome of the NYHC sound...

Love NYHC!

I've got an original misfits concert poster from new yours with misfits, necros, and beastie boys when they were straight up hardcore.


Sahm, have you ever listened to Candiria? Check them out, so awesome!

[Son_of_Sahm]

Wow, nice on the poster.

I used to collect/sell/trade old and rare punk records back in ebay's heyday....

I've gotten rid of most of my punk records, but I use to own all of the original Misfits 45s, Necros first lp, Beasties "Pollywog" 45, SOA, SSD, FUs, etc...  I still have a few that I couldn't part with, but I don't spin them often anymore.  Past 1985, I'm not too familiar with, unless your talking garage punk...

Anyways, I'm getting a little excited here and hijacking the thread.  Apologies.

While its true that their are more blacks in the rap scene than white, I completely disagree with you when you say it is not a form of art and music. Rap has to be one of the toughest genres to write music for, with all the rhymes, internal rhymes, metaphors and such. Considering it is good rap of course. Your argument is invalid.

Yup...definitely not racist...you were probably gonna say "I'm not racist!  I have 1 black friend!"...smh.

There's different types of artistic expression.  Hip hop/Rap is one form.  R&B is another, so is country, so is house/dance.  Just cause you dont like it doesnt mean its crap.

**edit** after reading it more, your post is probably a troll post so now I feel even dumber for answer it.

Rap as a whole has changed so much from where it was to now. Some of the new stuff belongs in the dance clubs only and is garbage. Have to love the old school stuff and anything Too Short.

Enjoy Listening to:

Easy E
Scarface
N2Deep
Too Short
Jadakiss
Tupac
Warren G
Rappin 4 Tay
Coolio
Nate Dog

Don't hate. "Summertime" was the jam.

[rorycaldog]

Raekwon the chef and big L are sick

[Sidetracked]

Eminem and all of Slaughterhouse (Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, Royce) all day!

[PedronNiall]

Budden is garbage. That is all.

haha are you serious? Why hate on him? He's probably my favorite. His songs are deep.

[BENNYSUPREME]

Man, no love for Out Kast, Twista and the one people may laugh at me for Timbaland and Magoo and ludacris.

How about T.I.,  Trick Daddy or Ice Cube.  

How about just straight club baggas.  LIL Jon.

How about some of the little bit older ones like Kurupt and Canabis, Too Short and KRS One

Got to throw Big Daddy Kane, Common and Scarface out there also.

I have never really been a fan of Nas, not even when he was trying to battle JayZ.

I guess I will throw Eminem out there since my Ipod is full of him.

On the IPod I think I have every album of Mr. West"Kanye" also.

Man the more I go through this IPOD the more I realize I way behind in the music because I really don't have anything new on it.  Probably not missing much either though.
