I'm no expert on the genre, but I've been listening to a few hip hop/rap albums lately (notably The Score by Fugees, The Carnival by Wyclef Jean, and Enter the Wu-Tang by Wu-Tang Clan). I'm sure this isn't the most popular genre on a metal site, but hopefully it can lead towards some good discussions and recommendations.  And of course, the forum isn't complete without at least having one thread about hip hop.  Word up yo.  ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

I listened to some rap back when I was younger, but the style never really caught on with me. Ice Cube, Ice-T, N.W.A., Ghetto Boys, Onyx, Gravediggaz and of course Cypress Hill were some of the artists I listened to. I remember Onyx having some really aggressive vocals which I greatly enjoyed. Ghetto Boys had some almost gore themed lyrics about dismembered corpses and other nasty things and the ever stoned Cypress Hill were favorites among the dopesmokers in high school. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I like the Beastie Boys because they're different, and I have a couple of their albums. I also quite like A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul although I do not own any albums with them (but maybe my girlfriend does... she's into hip hop and R'n'B). There are also some old school Danish hip hop artists that I like , and I attended a Jyder M� Attituder show last year in Ringk�bing. I was even in a rap band once, but don't tell anyone. I tend to dislike recent rap music and hip hop (especially gangsta rap) because it's all become streamlined and it sounds alike; it's basically become pop music. Eeech! -------------

Not a genre of music that I have ever developed an interest in. There were a few songs back in the early days from Run D-M-C and Tone-Loc that I liked, and every so often I'll hear a hip-hop or rap song that I'll like, but I've never had a desire to go out of my way to listen to it. -------------

I gave The Carnival Vol. II by Wyclef Jean another chance yesterday, only to be disappointed yet again.

Same here. Modern pop is a disgrace. To think that we've went from The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix to Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and other crap in less than 40 years is sickening.  I dislike most modern rap as well. Way too commercial-sounding for me. I still haven't delved nearly as far into old school stuff as I would like to... I only own 7 or 8 rap albums total.  ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

I definitely agree with you there. Exceptions to every rule. Something like The Police would be considered a pop band, and they have some great music in my opinion. Countless others as well. I've always wondered what life is like these days for session musicians compared to back 20 plus years ago.

I mostly posted it becouse I discoverd that the song have Mellotron which is a solid winner in my book and Eminems rage comes form a childhood full of childmolestation (towards him ) and a mom who was absent and not really a caring a mother and a difficult marrige and parenthood which had many difficulities, and many other things also an important factor an absent father figure, he grew up without any father rolemodels. so eminem is a tortured mind basicly and he just let out all the steam he have in his mind. which is ALOT, a shrink would have consolted with another srink if he had ever had a session with Eminem. -------------

No, I meant that I don't understand why so many people love him (though, of course, they're entitled to form their own opinions). Of course, in a genre as aggressive as rap, rage is often a good thing - Eminem's lyrics, flow, and songwriting jsut hasn't ever really impressed me, though. ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

If I were to rank those albums, it would probably be: 1. Fugees - The Score (5 stars) 2. Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (5 stars) 3. NWA - Niggaz4Life (4.5 stars) Man, picking between that #1 and #2 spot is difficult for me... both of those albums are all-time faves for me. If you like that NWA album a lot, I'd definitely take a listen to the Bone Thugs N' Harmony album I posted above. It was even produced by Eazy E (he died during the production). The group's melodic, super-fast rapping style takes some time to get used to, but it's an absolutely awesome album. The keyboard arrangements are simply unbeatable. And the music is just sooo dark and the lyrics are extremely sinister too - these guys were from a BAD part of Cleveland, and the lyrics often reflect that.

^^^^^ I've enjoyed the Big K.R.I.T, not amazing but well worth listening to. Didn't get much of the Cunninlynguists LP, I really liked A Piece of Strange 'n' Southernunderground, but have not felt much from them since. The South seems to be getting a bit more rep these days, I've been a fan of (the big hitters) U.G.K., 8Ball & MJG, Geto Boys, et cetera for years. Probably have couple hundred (maybe a little over 200) of DJ Screw's mixed tapes too, which are generally in heavy rotation. For some more quirks you should check Count Bass D - Dwight Spitz. His done some shit with MF DOOM 'n' that crew over the years, so if you're into that kind of style well worth the listen. ------------- Guai ai gelidi mostri �Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, infamous, sullying, and grotesque is contained for me in this single word: God� Andr� Breton |

I don't think I've come across Hip Hop as brilliant and lyrically original as Organized Konfusion. In this track they're rapping as two unborn babies, one wanting to be aborted and the other wanting to see life. In fact the entire album is for the most part a concept album where each half of OK plays a character, one named Life, and the other name Malice. I very highly recommend it as well as OK's other two albums, the self-titled and Stress. |

4 years later and hip-hop is probably my third favorite genre of music after metal and electronic. Some of my favorites still include Beastie Boys and Run DMC, but also Blackalicious, A Tribe Called Quest, Cypress Hill, Eric B. & Rakim, Jungle Brothers, Kool Keith, Lyrics Born, The Pharcyde, and Slick Rick. Unfortunately I have found it hard to find really good modern hip hop that interests me, but there are a couple like Death Grips and A-F-R-O who are making some great stuff. Obviously with adding Beastie Boys, they're who I've been listening to most as far as hip hop goes, this song in particular: ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

over 9 years since I posted:
Most of the rap I listen to now is Death Grips, or MF Doom and adjacent musicians (Madlib etc). Also a little bit of Aesop Rock, select classics (Deltron 3030, Wu Tang, Nas, De La Soul) and instrumental stuff like J Dilla and BADBADNOTGOOD I still like the production on Dalek's music but really can't stand their lyrics, everything has to be political with them and I'd rather listen to goofy nonsense like Doom |

^I haven't really gotten into MF Doom's stuff yet though I do remember listening to some of Operation Doomsday a while back. I do love the Gorillaz song November Has Come though with him featuring, so I should get around to more. Have you heard Del from Deltron's solo stuff? I've always really loved this funky classic, even before I was into much rap: ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

yeah that's all good stuff MF Doom has a lot of great projects under other names as well, for Viktor Vaughn he had other people do all the productions, for King Geedorah he did all the production and had other people do most of the rapping Madvillain and Dangermouse are his biggest collabs I've heard. Operation Doomsday and Mm Food are my all time faves though |

Hip hop/rap is a genre I've yet to fully explore! I'm familiar w/ some of Necro's and Immortal Technique's stuff but that's about it! |

If you're wanting to start with some darker and heavier hip hop, I'd recommend Cypress Hill, Death Grips, R.A. the Rugged Man, and Masta Ace Incorporated to start. If you're looking for some upbeat old school 80's stuff, Slick Rick, Run DMC, Eric B. & Rakim, Jungle Brothers, and Beastie Boys. For more abstract alternative hip hop, Blackalicious, Rob Sonic, Sonic Sum, MF Doom, Aesop Rock, Lyrics Born Jazzy hip hop, Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, Gang Starr, Electric Company and awesome sci-fi electronic hip hop, Beastie Boys' Hello Nasty, Kool Keith's Black Elvis/Lost in Space. and Mantronix. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

Damn, R.I.P. MF Doom, didn't see this coming. Still haven't explored all that much of his work, but have long been a fan of this song: ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

One of the best blind buys I've ever made, bought it late last year and it's already climbing up there in my favorite hip hop albums. Really liked the cover, and what I got was fantastic beats, really cool samples, and great guests. There's not a single weak track, right down to the interludes DJ Zeph is clearly a master songwriter. Seriously, this is the first time I've heard basically medieval hip hop: ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

^ Good find, it’s always a great feeling when you find a hidden gem randomly I’m not a huge rap fan, but I do occasionally listen to Death Grips, MF Doom, Outkast, Kendrick Lamar, and a few others. Here’s a track by Billy Woods and Moor Mother that I think is really cool: Really this entire album is great |

^Never heard of those two, but I really like the production on that track, I'll have to check out some more. Also unrelated, looking forward to the new Cypress Hill album. So far the three singles have been produced by Black Milk instead of DJ Muggs, so hopefully he didn't leave again, but I did really like the first single Champion Sound with its trip hop vibe so I'm hoping it'll be good regardless. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |
