Rap Binge

Anyone that listens to anything other than rap ever just have a craving for rap some days? I do. I don't know why. I bought two rap CDs the other day, and I never buy CDs. Hopefully this isn't permanent.

i'm stuck on the same boat my friend. i typically don't listen to rap, but a few months ago i was introduced to "concious hip-hop" and "indie rap". i appreciate it, but i need my regular diet of elvis.

Rap is a totally relevant form of music. Generally I prefer the stuff that isn't all "bling, bling, bitches and hoes" but even some of that stuff is okay.

I love hip-hop... but sometimes I'm ashamed to say that to people because of the type of rap they usually associate with the term... the stuff I listen to you would never hear on the radio...

I guess it just ain't GANGSTA enough.

It's all about Tech N9ne. He makes me cry.

Terminator X was the next Jimi Hendrix

the thing about rap is that it now has a big variety of flavas- gangsta, east/west c, radio shit, old school etc . im sort of stuck on techno and electrical shit...but prefuse73 satisfies all my needs...yep, i do buy it even though i know i use kazaa.

Project Pat.

Buck 65, Aesop Rock, Spearhead, Deltron 3030, Atmosphere, Outkast, and Sage Francis

you are now ready to be happy in life.

Blackalicious, EL-P (sooooo fiening for his follow-up), Edan, StickUpKidz, MF Doom

enjoy

NIGHTHAWKS!!!

del rocks my ass.

the alphabet aerobics owns me too.

I have found myself listening to DJ Krush, Jedi Mind Tricks, and Mars Ill alot. Just to add some change in the mix of crazy white kids making fax machine sounds with their guitars.



bok bok

Hahaha, genius!

i don't like the word rap per say, as it's kind of a dated 80's thing... but I do like the new Cam'ron... and TI...

Lil John WHAT? HEY! WHAT? YEAH! WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? YEAAAH!

ps. the best Hip Hop right now is Aesop Rock.

Hey... I happen to like hearing Fax Machine noises made by crazy white kids with their guitars... especially when said transmissions are labelled as "Radiohead" or "Sonic Youth"

:wishes he could find link to "Spin" article where a bunch of demos were sent to label execs as a joke:

The Black Eye Peas are a great hip-hop group. I love hip hop and metal not to mention most other forms of music. (limited country) I definately get into moods though. sometimes it last a while if there is a bunch of good new albums out. 50cents new album was great, I listened to it all summer.

Did you listen to it in da club?

I like
J5
Dilated Peoples
"Old" Cypress Hill
House of Pain
The Streets
Jedi Mind Tricks
Dre
NWA
Wu-Tang Clan

blah blah blah

Jurassic 5
Blackstar
Talib Kweli
Mos Def

but you gotta love the silly, stupid hip-hop like lil Jon and ludacris

No... no you really don't

Not to be a hater or anything
(ludacris has one of the best deliveries and cadences out there... but his subject matter just doesn't appeal to me. I like "bitches and money" just as much as the next man... but I don't have either... so I don't like it being rubbed in my face )

Check this

i dont know about craving...but yesterday i was walking home drunk and the humpty dance just popped in my head.so i cabbage patched all the way home bumping all the rappers in the top ten getting scoffed by the locals. turns out even though i havent heard it in years i know all the words... is there somthing wrong with me?

Hip Hop can be one of 2 things, good background music for life or interesting lyrical work. Good production on a beat will redeam most lyrics, in my eyes. case & point- Lil Jon's "Damn". That beat is so good i dont care who does the lyrics.
