Rap Appreciation Thread

[Deimos]

ok, I'm just gonna start this by saying

1st: I know most people out there hate rap, and I have no problems with that, but if you hate rap, don't post in here. this thread is only for people who like rap and/or have an appreciation for it.

2nd: None of us that like rap have come onto any type of threads about other music and starting putting oit down, so if you could do the same and keep negative thoughts on rap out of here we rap fans would appreciate it if you want to knock rap put it in the "Bad Rap" thread.

3rd: to all those who like rap, feel free to post thoughts and opinions on your favorite artists!

I like rap. I don't across the board like ALL rap, just because it IS rap. But there are some great songs out. The clubs where I live play a lot of Ying Yang twins - "Shake it Like a Salt Shaker" and "Balls to the Wall" are great club songs. I also like "Lean Back" by Terror Squad (love to see a whole club doing the Lean Back! ). I like anything mixed by Lil' Jon, cause he has got the beats in the business.

I own every Eminem CD as well as D12, which features a lot of Eminem.

Love Nelly (and I actually think that his song with Tim McGraw is pretty good)

Love Trina and so many others.

I'll stop boring you now with my list

i generally dont like rap, but there are a few rap/rock rap/metal bands that i like. my fav is (hed) pe. they are heavy but they give a good blend of rap into it as well, which i think works really well. i also like that Clint Eastwood song by Gorillaz that Janiel mentioned before. infact, i used to have that whole album, but i sold it. there are normal rap songs that i dont mind as well, but i dont know the names of them.

Ha! You are right! My bad. I didn't believe you until I went and looked at my CD! Hey, no matter what it's called...I have danced my ass off to that song.

[Deimos]

yeah, I like all the beats that have come out of Atlanta. tey're really getting put on the map with Lil jon, Ying yang Twins, Crime Mob, Trilville and other rappers from the ATL

[Gulf_Breeze]

Where I'm originally from....Birmingham, Alabama. The Ying Yang twins were BANNED. You have to be really decadent to be banned from The Sheraton Hotel in Birmingham, Alabama! I wasn't there though, I don't know.

Atlanta IS hot right now, someone else from there I like is Trick Daddy (even though he hasn't had anything new lately). Trina raps on a lot of his songs and I like her, too.

Oh, I had to come back and add Snoop Dogg. How can we forget that smooth rapper. Love his stuff. 'Specially his new CD. And Gin -n- Juice is a classic (I even heard a country version of it the other day! Hey, I do live down south - we deep fry everything

D-12

WestSide Connection

G-Unit

Terror Squad

Wu-Tang(a little)

I can't wait for Game's d comes out the 18th it's going to be great!By the way yall can checkout his website and forum to. It's HERE also Game goes to the site to answer questions often it's great. Everyone who likes rap go cop that album!

[Deimos]

yeah, I want his album too. Game is defiinitly one of the better rappers out there

[_hAiLO_]

Whats one of his good songs? I want to know just how good he is. Lloyd Banks is my favorite G-Unit rapper because of his style.

[Deimos]

^really? i actually think he's one of the lower rappers in G Unit. I like Young buck a lot more, but too bad about him. anywa, a good song form Game is WEstside Story, and Envy Me. I also have some of his freestyles and he's pretty good.

[_hAiLO_]

Well, we have our different interests . What made me like Lloyd Banks was 'On Fire', 'I'm so Fly' and all the other songs in his album...

But thanks for the songs on The Game . I'll check it out, i'll be he is really good because he is from G-Unit.

[edit]hehe, dude I just listened to Westside Story and it rocks . He sounds just a little bit like Lloyd Banks, but his style is different and its pretty good. I liked the song, maybe cuz I live in the westside .

[Deimos]

^ I'm from the west side too. That's why I love the west coast flows so much.

[_hAiLO_]

Makes me wonder what happened to the Westside Connection ....

[mypaddedroom]

^Westside Connection they stil around I think it was last year they dropped a album. And as for G-Unit I like them all!I got g-unit shirts & shoes lol. I think Lloyd Banks is better at freestyling then writing songs. His first album did not live up to his hype, but I stilll like him.

[_hAiLO_]

I think Jin is a good freestyler . Why hasn't he sent out another album yet? Yet along a new single/song...

[mypaddedroom]

Because his album came out like 6months ago. lol He just had a single called "sinorita" don't know if I spelled that right. But anyways his alnum had 2 singles one months ago and then his album came out just a few months ago. I can wait for GAME's album 2morrow!!!

Jin? I hated him. he was pretty weak to me. I think there is much better new talent like Trilville and Game

[crazy_boy]

I like:

Lil Jon

G-unit

I could go on forever but my brain isnt working for some reason what happened to tony yayo?
