Hip-Hop Thread Three-Peat

[Flagjacket]

Can we talk about something that isn't Illmatic this time?

I nominate Big L to replace Nas as the internet's favorite rapper.

[AIRIC]

You're annoying.

[Flagjacket]

Shut up I just want my thread back.

[Eliminator]

illmatic

[Chicken And Waffuls]

heres my two cents:

1. lil wayne is the best mixtape rapper since 50 cent put out his debut albume
2. gang starr is rediculously under rated.
3. three 6 mafia suck.

[Flagjacket]

heres my two cents:

1. lil wayne is the best mixtape rapper since 50 cent put out his debut albume
2. gang starr is rediculously under rated.
3. three 6 mafia suck.

1. Lil Wayne is the best rapper out right now period.
2. Different strokes etc
3. You're partially correct, at least until Three Six makes an album of songs that are all as good as Stay Fly.

[Chicken And Waffuls]

i dont think there ever going to put an album out that will be a five mic like a jay or 50. it might just be my personal opinion but i find southern rap tallentless and dosnt relate to anything. its just about clothes and cars. i know lil wayne is from the south but hes just so effortless. he probablly smokes so much and drinks so much syrup his flow comes so naturally.

[Flagjacket]

50 Cent has never gotten 5 mics from the Source, and likely never will. It doesn't really mean anything anymore anyways.

As far as the South goes, I like a lot of hip hop from all over the place, but it's just a preference thing. Plus Nik, you're from Brooklyn so you're supposed to hate everything else by default.

[Chicken And Waffuls]

why is everyone hating on rap? rap and punk have alot of similarities. they both hate police and both are hated by your parents.

[AIRIC]

Who's hating on rap?

[Chicken And Waffuls]

Who's hating on rap?

i should say alot of people who listen to punk hate rap which i dont see the reasons for. there alike in so many ways.

[IgniteYourAvail]

You're annoying.

No offense, Kevin, but that's the first thing I thought when I saw this thread.

[Eliminator]

illmatic

[Anxious]

Rap sucks.

[lynch_me]

Give this thread more time to generate any decent discussion. Not like this forum has much activity anyways.

[Liebensaft]

I like Ready to Die and Illmatic. That's about it.

[Anxious]

Seemed over done and turned to spam instantly. Whatever though.

[Elliptical Ion]

Geto Boys should rule this thread.

[Eliminator]

jeru the damaja has two of the best hip hop albums of the nineties

[Elliptical Ion]

I have The Sun Rises in the East and it rules hard.

[Eliminator]

yeah dude

get wrath of the math too. premier produces it too, and the type of samples and production is a little bit different. its not as good as sun though

[Elliptical Ion]

I'll try to find it somewhere.

[smokersdieyounger]

Slick Rick the RULER anyone??

[Flagjacket]

Run DMC for the 80's rap win

Eazy E and NWA for a tie in second though.

[Excursions]

i`m laughing straight to the bank wit this
ha-hahahahaha-ha-hahahahaha

[SkaRobotArmy]

i should say alot of people who listen to punk hate rap which i dont see the reasons for. there alike in so many ways.

because like any genre, its given a bad name by its more commercial musicians i.e. fiddy, kanye and all those guys who make a joke out of it. musically, lyrically, politically. in punk, its the same way and they are giving themselves a bad name

i'm not big into, i like sage francis and a few others, i'm sure there is lots of decent rap, but i think most people are too turned off by what they hear on the radio to care.

[Flagjacket]

What's wrong with Kanye West?

[Eliminator]

Been digging Stunts, Blunts and Hip-Hop by Diamond D and some Raekwon lately.

[tappenzee]

Can we talk about something that isn't Illmatic this time?

I nominate Big L to replace Nas as the internet's favorite rapper.

why'd you mention Illmatic if you didn't want us talking about it? Anyways I said my piece on it already

Big L is a'ight, but he's way overrated

[tappenzee]

heres my two cents:

1. lil wayne is the best mixtape rapper since 50 cent put out his debut albume
2. gang starr is rediculously under rated.
3. three 6 mafia suck.

1. best mixtape rapper is kinda like favorite Celine Dion album
2. 100% co-sign. One of the best all-time hip hop groups ever.
3. Yes. Yes they do.

[tappenzee]

jeru the damaja has two of the best hip hop albums of the nineties

Most definitely. When he turned away from Primo, he fell off HOARD though

[tappenzee]

Run DMC for the 80's rap win

Eazy E and NWA for a tie in second though.

Public Enemy #1

Gotta love DMC though

[Eliminator]

Been listening to some Slick Rick, Black Moon, MF Grimm, Mobb Deep, etc. lately.

Enta Da Stage isn't as good as I was expecting it to be, but it's pretty solid. The Infamous is pretty sweet too.

[tappenzee]

Kanye never took it as a joke. If you listen to his albums, they're some of the most polished, complete, worked-on albums out there.

50 is just a poor rapper IMO. I have no problem with his persona, but just make better albums. He's just boring to me.

Sage is the worst...

[Eliminator]

Late Registration has awesome production.

[Flagjacket]

Late Registration is really good.

And now that we've all found out Kanye secretly DOES want to **** a lot of women I'm all of a sudden super excited for Graduation.

[margin0walker]

i really like Kanye's new song where he uses the Daft Punk sample

[Eliminator]

got a link?

[Feel The Darkness]

I finally got around to checking out Mr. Lif's I Phantom. He kinda reminds me of K-os.

[Flagjacket]

I'm just about finishing up The 5% Album by Lord Jamar, one of the dudes from Brand Nubian. It's actually a really good album, even though it's essentially religious propaganda.

[AIRIC]

niggaz eat pie, do or die. shoot a cop eat some cake. shake and bake and blast six shots just in case. thug life.

[Liebensaft]

What's mah name?! What's my name bitch?! Ooooooooooh Biggie ooooooooh

[slep]

i really like Kanye's new song where he uses the Daft Punk sample

Not Kayne, Mr. West.

[Eliminator]

was that supposed to be funny

[slep]

Not at all.

[Flagjacket]

If he's referencing a song, I have no idea which one it is.

[AIRIC]

It's the intro with bernie mac

[Flagjacket]

**** those skits
Except for Broke Fi Broke.

[gregulus]

[TheNowhereman42]

1. Lil Wayne is the best rapper out right now period.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I laugh at your terrible taste in rap.

How can you honestly say that Lil Wayne is better than Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Hieroglyphics, Sabbac Red, Del Tha Funky homosapien, Ill Bill?

Honestly, I bet even Necro could out-battle Lil Wayne, and he's not even very good.

[Liebensaft]

A CHALLENGER APPEARS

[Flagjacket]

Honestly, I bet even Necro could out-battle Lil Wayne, and he's not even very good.

Other than Immortal Technique, who is undeniably horrible, you have your likes and I have mine.

But to say anyone could show Weezy out in a battle right now shows exactly how much you know.

[me likes punk]

Thug Motivation by Young Jeezy is an awesome album.

Weezy is tight. quit hatin'. Immortal Tech is ok in doses, but I would not consider him better, just more "controversial". As for Necro...c'mon...srsly?

Just because Weezy likes rapping about bling and being a hustler doesn't mean he's not a good rapper. Carter II is such a good album. You can't deny that.

...and did you really make a list with Hieroglyphics and Del as separate entities?

Is anyone going to Rock the Bells?
I have VIP tickets to the San Bernardino date.

[SantaDuJuan]

Common's new album?
It's hotttt

[Eliminator]

it's baddddd

[margin0walker]

i saw a music video from it on tv and i was like 'hmmmm this is ok'

[SantaDuJuan]

it's baddddd

Crzy!

[Eliminator]

it's not even common that's bad it's kanye's production =\

[Flagjacket]

Hottttt is generally a term to be applied to tracks featuring this month's youtube superstar MCs and not shitwich albums.

Common has solid albums though, great rapper.

[SantaDuJuan]

it's not even common that's bad it's kanye's production =\

Two songs on the album really stand out, and that's probably why I like the album.

Common's an excellent rapper though, Kanye's beats on some of the song just don't really fit the mood I think.

[Flagjacket]

I'll bet a hundred dollars that it's Southside and The People.

Because liking anything else means you're a homo.

[Flagjacket]

Double post but Aunt Jackie is probably the best song out of New York in the past decade.

[Liebensaft]

Unless New York is a rapper, you've neglected everything Latterman's ever done, and I'm sure plenty of other stuff just as good. I don't usually know where bands are from.

[Flagjacket]

I'm talking about hip hop Joe.

[Liebensaft]

The word "song" applies to music in all forms. Specify, brohan.

[Feel The Darkness]

The word "song" applies to music in all forms. Specify, brohan.
The word "Hip-Hop" in the thread title specifies the topic, brohymn.

[Liebensaft]

Still, other musical genres have been mentioned here. Anyway, I don't really listen to much hip-hop.

[Feel The Darkness]

Still, other musical genres have been mentioned here. Anyway, I don't really listen to much hip-hop.
so why are you reading a thread about hip-hop?

GTFO

[Liebensaft]

I said I don't listen to much hip-hop. Mostly Biggie. It's the internet. Take it easy.

[Feel The Darkness]

I said I don't listen to much hip-hop. Mostly Biggie. It's the internet. Take it easy.
I was joking. Although, it still is a thread about hip-hop, so let's stick to that...

So the new Prodigy album is pretty good. I was listening to Mobb Deep most of today, so I ended up putting Return of the Mac on.

[Flagjacket]

I never bothered with Return of the Mac, Koch Records usually can't be trusted.

dipset all day errday ayyyyy

[Feel The Darkness]

You should check it out. It's actually good.

So are you gonna end up hitting up any of the Rock The Bell tourdates?

[Flagjacket]

I've got tickets to the Detroit date. I'm going to try and bumrush the floor.

[Feel The Darkness]

I've got tickets to the Detroit date. I'm going to try and bumrush the floor.
hahahahaha, DO IT!

I don't gotta worry about bothering with that, ya know, with VIP tickets and all. haha!

[Flagjacket]

I don't have the 150 to drop on a VIP ticket and a backpack you rich boy.

[Feel The Darkness]

I don't have the 150 to drop on a VIP ticket and a backpack you rich boy.
Far from rich, and I worked for that money, lazy azn.

haha

GET A JOB!

[Liebensaft]

If Kevin wasn't so straight-edge, he could sell coke like a real gangster.

[Flagjacket]

You mean if I was a huge douchebag I could sling crack and rob nigs.

[Liebensaft]

You don't have to be a douchebag to sell drugs. Are you calling Biggie a douchebag? And not every dealer robs people.

[Flagjacket]

I consider all drug dealers to be douchebags for profiting off the harm and abusive habits of others. Biggie is a douchebag for seling crack, seeing as how crack pretty much destroyed an entire society nationwide, but that's not the dominant characteristic in his life or work.

[AIRIC]

Drugs are not necessarily harmful or abusive in the sense of the words. Leave it to an edge kid.

[Flagjacket]

Dealers don't make a living off selling a g to some 17 year old dock worker to share with his pals.

This is not the Drug Dealer thread this is the Hip-Hop Thread.

J are mosh pits okay at rap concerts?

[Feel The Darkness]

J are mosh pits okay at rap concerts?
Depends.

Getting krunk at a show is the closest think to a pit. That or krumping.

I mean, there probably will be at the Fest dates since RATM is playing, but I hope not. haha.

[Flagjacket]

J getting crunk means getting drunk and high.

[Feel The Darkness]

J getting crunk means getting drunk and high.
yes, yes it does, but there is also certain movements involved with the act of getting crunk at a show of southern rap such as that of Lil' John. Throwin' 'bows n ****.

People get rowdy while crunk, thus getting crunk at a show would be getting crazy drunk and high while just causing a ruckus.

I dunno about you, but drunk people causing a ruckus at a show sounds like a pit to me...

haha

[Flagjacket]

A mosh pit generally consists of people shoving and running into each other without actually going out of their way to hurt other people.

Rowdy drunk people sing Lynyrd Skynrd and then throw chairs.

It's all the same to me. TX mosh tends to include foreign objects.

J Atomic wins the pit using a steel chair.

Does anyone like A Tribe Called Quest ?

I would appreciate album/song recommendations

[Henrik]

yeah me too. I've heard many good things about them.

And I've just recently got a bit into 2pac. Is there any specific must own album by him?

[Flagjacket]

All Eyez On Me is generally considered the must own, and I think it's the best but many disagree.

[Henrik]

Allright thanks I'll check it out.

[Feel The Darkness]

Kav, so how was the show in Detroit?

Does anyone like A Tribe Called Quest ?

Get these two:
Low End Theory
Midnight Merauders

They're must haves.

[Ghostfire3]

Any RJD2 fans here? The guy is sick. I love his beats.

[Flagjacket]

RJD2 is boring.

[MAthiAS]

I like his latest a lot even though its not really hip-hop at all.

[Ghostfire3]

I haven't heard his new stuff but Deadringer is awesome.

[Elliptical Ion]

Jeru The Damaja is owning my media player right now.

[Flagjacket]

I saw Nas and Wu Tang last night, Nas was pretty good despite forgetting a ton of his lines, but Wu Tang was an epic, incredible experience. The amount of energy that comes out of the stage is awesome.

PS: Graduation and Curtis both leaked

[superskankinactionhero]

because his name's - DOOM - they wonder just who is he

[Flagjacket]

UGK is awesome, the album Undeground Kingz is gay though.

[tappenzee]

All Eyez On Me is generally considered the must own, and I think it's the best but many disagree.

Me Against the World is a hundred times better than All Eyez On Me, and in my opinion, Pac's only consistently great album

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Me Against the World is a hundred times better than All Eyez On Me, and in my opinion, Pac's only consistently great album
From the Pac I've heard, I'd have to agree with this.

[AIRIC]

Me Against The World is easily the best album and I'm pretty sure the must own as well. All Eyez On Me is a double LP which is kind of lame in hip hop.

[Flagjacket]

forget yall

I can't deny it, I'm a straight rider

Any fans?

[ATM]

Which albums?

[DBoons Ghost]

The only thing I dislike about rap is it's never done well live.

Studio music only.

[ATM]

Not true. It really depends on who you go to see. When I saw Atmosphere there was a full band which made it awesome.

[DBoons Ghost]

Not true. It really depends on who you go to see. When I saw Atmosphere there was a full band which made it awesome.

Oh yeah.. I've seen the Roots too with a full band and it was incredible.

But most hip hop acts don't do this. Of all the hip hop shows I've been to, the only ones I've enjoyed were Cypruss Hills, and even that was difficult, and mayhaps the Beastie Boys who were ok.

[ATM]

It also depends on the MC. I mean, some rappers have absolutely no stage presence which can kill a show. Others really know how to get the crowd into it.

Rappers that just stand there swaying back and forth usually suck.

[Ghostfire3]

Which albums?

I have Full Clip (which is just a compilation of some of their stuff), and Moment of Truth. I would definitely suggest checking out Full Clip if anyone wants to get into them.

[Flagjacket]

I've only been to Rock The Bells as far as rap goes, and it was to far from the stage but otherwise awesome.
