| half the thing Flocka does is just yelling stuff. he's not a good rapper, I'll admit that. however: Flockaveli was a very influential album. He and Lex Luger introduced a pretty unknown sound snd the trap genre to the mainstream audience with that album. just think about how Rick Ross changed his music to a more trap-ish sound (BMF, Can't hold me back) since Teflon Don, or how genres like drill music emerged from that. Lex Luger changed a huge part of the hiphop scene and community today through his beats and thanks to Waka Flocka even white suburban kids know who guys like Gucci Mane are. I know it sounds ridiculous af but he seriously had a key part in the whole trap movement of the past few years, with Lex Luger's production being the 'foundation' for it. now you could just completely deny this but luckily there are a whole lot of people who admit his influence on todays hiphop. |
| oh, and I don't see Nas or Kendrick doing this: |
Fantasee said: DarkStarr96 said: Such a good album! I'm a huge Lupe fanboy and always have been (so I'm biased), but I think he's the best lyricist in the game. And yeah, it is. I like T&Y more than I do To Pimp A Butterfly, to be quite honest. I will acknowledge that TPAB is the "better" album, it's deeper and it says more than T&Y does. But just from an entertainment aspect I prefer T&Y. Lyrically, Black Thought from The Roots is on his own planet. untouchable. Lupe is up there but right now i think shad is a close 2nd even more so than kendrick even though he pretty much unknown. |
| I just randomly found this thread... Some philosophical or with essence are really good, have to admit. |
| Today they say you're crazy, tomorrow they will say you're a genious. |
| Nujabes is great, but then again most of his tracks isn't rap. Most of it is intrumental. But there is a few tracks that's rap of course. You guys who like Nujabes should check out this guy Uyama Hiroto. Eminem - Like Toy Soldier is nice too. |
 |
| my only favorite rap artist is Epic Rap Battle of History on youtube they're great and funny |
| Is this a joke? There are thousands of rap records out there, about anything and borrowing from any musical genre. What do you like about music? Maybe I can find rap that will be to your liking. Also, there is nothing wrong with rap music that's meant to bump in the whip. Waka Flocka Flame and 50 Cent is pretty cool. Most 'classic' boom bap stuff is boring. Early Roots, Black Moon, GZA, Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Mobb Deep - not very fun. |

| I've always considered rap as the lyrical genius of music. Every now and then you'll just get mindblown of a certains rapper's talent of putting word and word together and somehow combining it to a terrific line. Rap is amazing - it can be outstanding in so many different levels. However keep in mind the "rap" you see in radio is definitely not something you'd use as a example of rap music! :) Here are some artists I like: Tech n9ne, Hopsin, Army of the Pharaohs, Jedi Mind Tricks, Rhyme Asylum and in terms of just instrumental rap: Nujabes and Gramatik! |

| Yes, rap really is that bad. There's only one good rap song, and that's the opening theme from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. |
 |
| Rap is the genre that I like the most, but I'm pretty old school though. Dont Like the new ones that much. |
I'm feelin' normal, I'm feelin' myself ♪♪ |
| I don't mind the genre too much, the image it seems to convey or be associated with is usually seen as bad... but in honesty, aren't there other genres that face that as well? Many may go out and about about how not classy "shawty got in the club" but we let slide by the raving sexuality rock music busts out like "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Welcome to the Jungle"? Old school rap is pretty good, like Big Daddy Kane. I've also enjoyed Will Smith, Beastie Boys, Ja Rule and Missy Elliot. Eminem definitely has a lot to say, especially in "Rap God." |
| The only good rap song I've ever heard. Most of the hip hop songs I've heard are cancerous and make no sense. |

MechaKiryu said: The only good rap song I've ever heard. Most of the hip hop songs I've heard are cancerous and make no sense. That's because rap lyrics tend to be very dense. Sometimes it's a bad thing, but sometimes you need to let it sink in. Check Nas' "N.Y. State of Mind". Listen to it a few times and soak in the lyrics. |

| Hip Hop is the ultimate genre of music. You could probably mix it with any other genre of music. |

| Your an idiot @op and half the people in this thread. A Tribe Called Quest, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Logic, Gang Starr, Joey Badass, are rappers, not fucking Lil Wayne and all those other shit excuses for rappers. I love rap, rhythmic poetry on a beat. It's powerful stuff, and if you listen to a lot of rap you'll be mesmerized by some of the poetry these guys are able to spit. |
| A quick and simple answer is YES. |
| Oh crap, I actually found a legit rap artist I like. |

| Well it depends on the content or what is the meaning of the song.but for me it's not bad. |
Shimapan-chan said: All that you listed are popular things, never good to judge a genre on the radio stuff. There's lots of very good rap. I listen to tons of Japanese stuff like Chick Jr., まけいぬ☆ わんだぁ！, Tofubeats, ひだまり, ピヨピヨブラザーズ, and many more. I also like some non-Japanese stuff like MC Bushpig, MC Cumblood, Butchers Harem, Suicidal Rap Orgy, Black Kray, MC Magina, and Vomit Massacre. I don't know why it's one of the typical genres to hate on. Basically this. Also, I'm excited to check out those artists that you listed. Thanks a bunch! |
| Does shoving rusty scissors in your ears feel good? Probably not Unless u into bdsm |
 |
| I don't like rap music. Rap music promotes crime in "youths", thinking being a gangster is cool. |
| I used to breakdance, and that comes with an eternal search of good hip-hop. First of all, I think there is a difference between rap and hip-hop. The difference is similar to a good poem vs. bathroom stall writings. There's also different kinds of genre within hip-hop itself. I tend to gravitate more towards the smoother hip-hop. Hip-hop also has good artists in Japan, my favorite being Nujabes who did the soundtrack of Samurai Champloo. Here's a good example of an American and Japanese collab on hip-hop [spoiler][spoiler] |
| If you think rap is bad, it's because you're listening to the wrong stuff most likely. People love to generalize rap as some kind of gagsta music about drugs and money 24/7 overlooking the Kendrick Lamars using music as a medium to make a difference in the world |

| Rap is a hard genre for a lot of people to relate to and that's okay. I'm a big fan personally. I grew up poor in bad neighborhoods and grew up with that music. Glad to see all the typical choices of "white nerds favorite rapper" in this thread lol |

The man made "tiny pants bitch" he can do no wrong in my eyes.xXxweedfiendxXx said: Glad to see all the typical choices of "white nerds favorite rapper" in this thread lol ^ I'll admit my username is based on Lil B, but that's only because not only is his music unique, but it's something that really goes outside the box with what he does. Definitely is a bright spot with what we do have today regarding rap. I've been a fan of his well before everyone found him. Some of these guys in the 2010s aren't at all my cup of tea that everyone and their shitposting buddy loves. In all honesty, most of my favorite rap acts were those of the late 1980s to the mid 2000s (and everywhere in between). It takes a few years after for the genre to completely take a turn. Look at how the Gangsta phase of the 1990s turned into the Crunk phase of the 2000s or something like that. I don't know my eras by heart, but my point stands that this genre is probably the most dynamic there is, so it's unique as it is. Can't wait for the NWA movie though. That is what I grew up listening to as a kid. |
TheBasedNico said: xXxweedfiendxXx said: That's fine. The man made "tiny pants bitch" he can do no wrong in my eyes. His fanbase also isn't literally averaging 15 years old and his guest lectures at colleges are some of the most awesome things I've ever seen. Hate it when people lump him in with meme mongerers like Filthy Frank. Lil B is the type of guy who clearly wants to make people happy. Anyways, which rap artists/groups are your favorites, curious to know. three six mafia, lil ugly mane, spice 1, brotha lynch, tommy wright, project pat, missy elliot, lil kim, trina, lil wayne, gucci mane, migos, kanye, big daddy kane, danny brown, action bronson, eyedea, too $hort, slick rick, kool keith, beastie boys, gangstar, big l, kendrick lamar, spaceghostpurrp, gangsta boo, katie got bandz, scarface, geto boyz, nate dogg off the top of my head i haven't really been that into hip-hop as much lately except for houston/memphis stuff and ugly mane (always) |

Pimp C is great but I usually just listen to DJ Screw and random chopped/screwed mixes, I'd have to check an old last.fm account of mine or something for artist names. I haven't been actively into hip-hop for a long time. |

Why recommend those women-hating losers when you can listen to Pete Rock & CL Smooth instead? Phife is a douchebag and Q-Tip is as generic rapper as can be. Low End Theory should've been instrumental. Not even Eminem can compete with the hatred for women that's in "Butter". Also, try recommending more musically adventurous artists - Public Enemy, Run-DMC, Eric B. & Rakim, Sadistik, Eyedea & Abilities, The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. |
