[quote=Luxor;13475341]That's exactly what I was talking about. It sucks.[/quote]Ok whatever.

[quote=metalkingtiger;13475147]Can you guys recommend me some old-school Gangsta-style rap? I like stuff like Compton's Most Wanted, Cypress Hill, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, Ice Cube but I only have a few songs so I need more songs of that same style.[/quote]Well, here are albums you need to have by those artists:

Cypress Hill - [i]Black Sunday[/i]
Snoop Dogg - [i]Doggystyle[/i]
Dr. Dre - [i]The Chronic[/i]
N.W.A. - [i]Straight Outta Compton[/i]

Hmm what else. Well, how do you feel about 2pac? He's pretty important. Are you specifically interested in West Coast sh[size=2]i[/size]t, or just anything gangsta?

Also, get Dr. Dre - 2001.

Just recently checked out Big Punisher. Man this guy was insane. Poor guy to die from being too fat. Not very gangster considering most people get shot. Massively talented, amazing flow. Just ordered [I]Capital Punishment[/I] off amazon based on a few songs that I'd heard from it. Can't wait.

Oh yeah Tupac's one of my fave, how could I forget...I basically like anything gangsta so long as it's old school. Thanks for all of these.

what do you think of Akon raus?

raus 10-20-2006 09:09 PM

Never heard.

sgrevs 10-21-2006 04:44 AM

Akon is crap from what I have heard of him, but that's all singles I think.

raus 10-21-2006 05:05 AM

Eh, you don't like Lil' Wayne, Akon probably rules.

raus 10-21-2006 05:08 AM

Oh, he's on the Rick Ross album, yeah, he's annoying.

sgrevs 10-21-2006 09:31 AM

hes not a rapper, hes a singer, and that r&b singing style often bores me greatly.

The Jungler 10-21-2006 09:38 AM

His voice gets pretty annoying so its pretty hard to listen to his solo stuff. However, I did like him on that Young Jeezy single a while back.

POINTLESS5448 10-21-2006 11:37 AM

rick ross is one of the few big rappers that i like right now. i dont know why he isnt that much different from anyone else but i dont know i just like 305 rap. my mom is going to try to get him to do endorsements for the boys and girls clubs. how cool would that be.

LF96 10-21-2006 03:33 PM

Akon had a pretty cool track some time ago, called Ghetto. It featured verses of both Tupac and B.I.G. (no new ones though). I still listen to that track now and then, Akon only does the choruses on it, which is a plus.
That Lonely track was however one of the most awful r&b-songs in recent history.

The Jungler 10-21-2006 09:48 PM

Lonely really wasn't that bad.

Interstate 10-22-2006 03:27 PM

Really diggin' Boogie Down Productions at the moment. The original gangsta group.

Simple Man 10-22-2006 04:33 PM

Doctor's Advocate comes out sooooooooon.

beso negro 10-22-2006 07:32 PM

I was asking about Akon because I have the new cd (won't be released till nov.21). If you want it ask me.

Have you heard the song In Your Eyes by Akon? That song is amazing.

Still trying to find that Jay-Z album

"Lil Wayne could possibly face criminal charges stemming from an incident during his performance at Morgan State University’s Homecoming celebration last Thursday (October 19). According to The Baltimore Sun, a near riot ensued after someone threw wads of cash into the crowd from the stage during Wayne’s performance"

BALLER.

Atleast post good rappers. The only ones close are Ghostface, Papoose, and Jay-Z (who has been awol until about a month ago).

The Game CD apparently has a track produced by Just Blaze with Nas and Marsha Ambrosius guesting. Other than that it looks like a good CD. Hopefully Nas will call it quits when his new CD sucks. A track by 9th Wonder, one by Will.I.Am (what the hell?), one with Kanye, and one guesting Snoop & X-zibit. And of course, the Doctor.

I delete Kanye.

sgrevs 10-24-2006 05:39 AM

I quite like the Game, moreso than most mainstream stuff. Maybe I'll check this out, sounds like it could be good. Any leaks around?

Dancin' Man 10-24-2006 07:14 AM

Hi guys. As a user who has been on a long hiatus from MX, I have a huge favor to ask. I need either of the Dr. Octagon albums pronto. He's playing at my school in less than a week and I was asked to promote him. I have a large collection of music that contains over 100 hip hop/rap albums so if there is anything you are interested in in return, just ask and I can most likely help.
My Gmail is Peter.McHugh @ Gmail.com

This would be a huge favor and would not go unnoticed.

pixiesfanyo 10-24-2006 07:18 AM

I have the first one, if you want it sweets.
