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!

As much as i would like to dis rap right now I'm not gonna
There is maybe two or so rap songs that i like.
1. "Clint Eastwood" - Gorillaz
2. erm....ok, so i can only think of one right now

weell, I gotta thank you. I know a lotta people hate rap, but as long as they don't post it in here is all. thanx for your respect and honesty though. I appreciate it man

Anytime, if i think of any others I'll let you know

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

thats funny, seeing as how its his band and all

yes i am a huge rap fan. i like the fact that we have a rap thread. and it would be nce if it would stay as an apreciation thread. please dont come in here badmouthing rap unless you are ready to be schooled in good music.

my rap favorites include:

kool keith
murs
mf doom
aesop rock
motion man
level jumpers
esham
dead prez

and more.

mostly underground stuff you will never hear.

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.

another fan of the Ying Yang twins? awesome, and yeah those are great songs. but actually balls to teh wall is called "Get Low" ,lol but yeah that song is awesome

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.

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

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

hehe....my favorite rap, mostly Gagnsta Rap . I don't glorify the Gangster, I think they need to think about life living on a gun, but their life moralities on surviving are sadly their only choice .....but them rappers living in luxary, hehe....yup, full of wisdom .

My favorite rappers usually are in groups:
D-12
WestSide Connection
G-Unit
Terror Squad
Wu-Tang(a little)

I've got T.I.'s video 'Bring 'em out' downloaded, I love the beat and the flow he projects in the song .

T.I. 'Bring 'em out' feat. Jay-Z and some other dude...
TIP comin live from the VIP
heard the night life lost life when I leave
Both the Feds and the State wanna see my need
The whole city got bizzerk he got treat

hmm, so many artists. I guess my faves are (in no particular order)
Ruff Ryders
DMX
Drag-On
Trillville
Lil' Scrappy
Xzibit
The Game
Snoop Dogg
Cam'Ron
Young Buck
Tupac
Biggie
50 Cent
Ruff Ryders

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!

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

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.

^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.

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 .

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

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

^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.

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

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

I like:

Lil Jon
G-unit

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

A lot of other colors are coming into the rap industry . Did you listen to N.O.R.E.'s new single? I kinda like that...but yeah, I want to listen more from The Game.

What about, how we do?

Yayo went 'cause of a gun. Also he had rigs I think, but he been out of jail for a long time well a few months now.

50 cent

Yeah 50's good. Last year 2004 he made over 50mil $$$ from his clothing line! 1million of that was probabaly from me.

Yep I know he's been out for a while but hasn't he got any new singles or anything?

I can't tell you how many shirts i've seen bearing the word 'G-Unit' on them....50 Cent is a genius, spreading the gangster style like that .

Because Yayo's gonna make a single soon I think sometime after March.

thanks

Yeah 50 is even richer off his clothing line.WEBSITE HERE

He has shirts,shoes,thermals,hats,beanies......socks!!! He's dead rich!!!

oo, we freestylin now?

The Game is west side, cool . I thought G-Unit was an east side gang...

Yeah, The Game is from Compton, but everyone else is from the east.

Yeah, g-unit is East Coast everyone is from New York except GAME ang Young Buck. Buck is from Cashville, TN. Also g-unit signed a rapper SPIDER LOC he use to be signed to Death Row so he's west coast to. But Dr.DRE basically owns SHADY/Aftermath/G-unit dre made g-unit. So of course he'd make 50cent sign a West coast rapper to g-unit!lol PLus 50 is making a label for g-unit called g-nit mid west or west coast something like that.

Dr. Dre is one of the best producers, he recruited The Game.

Have you heard of Real n****Role Call by Lil Jon ft. Ice Cube?....explicit , but its really catchy and has a very stright forward attitude .

my rap favs are

diplomats-"DIPSET, DIPSET"
jim jones
the game
Julez santana
T.I "rubberbandman"
outkast
eminem
youngbloodz
trick daddy
snoop doggy dogg
lil jon and eastside boyz
memphis bleek
jin
ludacris
lil wayne
clipse

i dont know...mainstream isn't cutting it for me anymore nowadays. Sadly, hip hop has lost it's touch. Isn't what it was use to be

The Game's album just came out sold about 5,800 copies pretty good! Also check this outTHIS


he hit number 1 one the top 100 albums!!!

Is Ice Cube releasing an album? I might want to get it .


Okay, thats fine...but we're appreciating rap, you can go listen to rock.

Ice Cube was suppse to make a cd prouce by Dr.Dre, but I dunno anymore. Because on GAME's new album he says," Now that the rumors of Rakim & Cube gone." So that could just be a rumor. I don't know when he's releasing a new album anymore.

I gotta question...is there a song where Biggie and Tupac ever collaborated in?

Yes back way before....they actually use to be good friends. Untill Biggie turned on him.
