Any Hip Hop Fans?

heck, Saph, I even saw them live w/ public enemy! Though nothing compares with Ice Cube's live performances!

I still stick to Tupac.

Deep

i thought we were talking about less known artist...

hell yeah tupac, biggie, cypress hill, bone thugs, old skool snoop and dre, kottonmouth kings, beastie boys, krs-1, scarface, ruff ryderz, dmx, 50 cent, g unit, jadakiss...

I love all music cept country, havent heard any country songs that make me feel the soul of the song

well thats a lie, that song the devil went down to georgia is the shizzot!

You know when I first came here, (before reading this topic) I thought I was the only person here who likes rap/hip-hop! I didn't think people like you would be into that stuff. Now this thread makes my week.

I forgot cypress hill.

And I always thought that the beastie boys were wayyyy to overrated.

How about another oldie but goodie:

Salt 'n Pepa


& I also liked 2 live crew & NWA...

2LiveCrew.....lol
I use to love the shock factor behind them.
I liked their music sorta but the reaction people had while listening to dirty nursery rhymes was priceless
I brought it to school in a walkman and was suspended after someone told a teacher, and the bitc# took the walkman and listened to it. Once again the expression on her face was priceless.

They should've been spokesmen for Mastercard...

Big L greatest raper, end of story

Nah, nah, nah...(Rip Big L)...but the greatest has to be Pac just because he was the total package...his lyrics touched everything. And, he had delivery down to a science. Just magic live.

Outkast: the greatest rap duo

Tied,
NWA&Tribe Called Quest: greatest rap groups

For good or Bad, Licensed To Ill made rap EXPLODE as a mainstream money generating mochine.

I was a fan when they were still a live punk act. But have to say, their rap/studio talents are incredible now. Good act for huge outdoor venues. They really move a crowd.

Let me settle this

Big L was the best lyricist and the most talented

Biggie was the most street

Jay-z played the game the smartest

Snoop is the best entertainer

and 2pac was the greatest PERIOD

I can get into hip-hop MUSIC(non-lyrical content), it's just that 75% of the lyrics in hip-hop music that I hear usually involve being a "thug," being "hard," and include too much juvenile and immature behavior. That's not to say ALL hip-hop, though.

They talk about being thugs and being hard because this is the lifestyle they our living. These people are coming from the streets, and are sending their message out on how they have been brought up and how they live. Hiphop is meant to inform people on the certain struggles these individuals face in the ghettos. They our telling their story, and it involves being thugs and being hard. If all they see is violence, what the hell do you expect them to talk about?

You gotta tell it how it is, and that is what drives hiphop. BEING REAL, because you won't survive in the rap game if you are fake.

With all due respect, I don't think you realize how serious this hiphop industry really is

and you forgot selling an image.

you can be hard all you want but you got to sell an image.

not everything they say is true.


sorry but not every rapper killed someone.
