lol!

 

Not my favorite music as a whole but these are the ones I have purchased

Beastie Boys- Licence to Ill
Beastie Boys- Pauls Boutique
Beastie Boys- Hello Nasty
Beastie Boys- The 5 Boroughs (do you see a trend?)
Black Eyed Peas- elephunk (rappish)
Blondie- Autoamerican (24 years ago)

 

YES!!! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] That album to me is the essence of perfection. It's so alive, yet raw and full of energy. Everytime I listen to that cd..I'm just stunned.

My favorite rap album..I am not a big rap fan, but I do love Dre's The Chronic..amazing rap album.

And Eminem..pftttt bwahahahhaha. To me, he's the Weird Al Yankovix of rappers. His songs are there just to make you laugh. His pissed off songs just **** you off...just like every other angry white person. [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

Eminem is ok, he's not crap and just slightly over the average line. he can shine when he wants to and does it well.

 

For a musician (spelling), yes he's very talented.
I'm not saying he's crap, just different from my tastes. I sorta consider him hip-hip-ish?

To each their own. [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

 

10. TIE - Raekwon - Cuban Linx/Ghostface Killah - Ironman
9. Jay-Z Reasonable Doubt
8. Outkast - ATLiens
7. Scarface - The Diary
6. Biggie - Ready To Die
5. 2pac - All Eyes On me
4. Snoop Dog - Doggystyle
3. Pete Rock and CL Smooth - The Main Ingredient
2. Outkast - Southernplayalistic
1. Nas - Illmatic

Obviously, tastes differ.
I agree, most new(er) rap sucks.

 

Newer POPULAR hip-hop sucks ...

There are still gems to be found underground ...

 

I'm I the only one that ever noticed that M & M is the only famous rapper to write about something besides gangs and life on the street?
I hardly consider this rap (high pitch voice):
"Yo, Yo, Yo it's so hard livin in the subburbs of Detriot cuz one time my mom threw a pillow at me, I called her a bitch and she took away me gameboy" "So I just went back to work at McDonalds flippin burgers for installers"

Except he rhimes things together better.

 

Listen to The Sauce ... If you can't appreciate the writing in that song, hip-hop may not be for you
