Oh, come on, guys. Have we really gone this far into the thread with NOBODY mentioning mc chris? Seriously.


WHITE KIDS LIVE HIP HOP

Valrus:

--- Quote from: Outshined ---Seriously, though, I have yet to hear a hip hop band with any kind of redeeming musical value. By all means, point me towards some groups that aren't about the abovementioned topics, and maybe experiment a little bit with vocal harmony or beat beyond the usual fare, and I will stand corrected.

Just for future reference, it's generally considered more acceptable, in terms of ohhh decorum and such, to do some research before coming onto a message board and making sweeping, insulting and untrue statements.

Mitigate your ignorance before you go proclaiming it. Your original post could have been improved a thousandfold by sticking a "I haven't really done any research, but as far as I can tell..." in front of it instead of coming in here and all arrogantly going THIS IS THE WAY I HAVE DECIDED THINGS ARE, PROVE ME WRONG.

Anyway, I recommend the following, most of whom have already been suggested:

Common
Del tha Funkee Homosapien / Deltron 3030
MF Doom, about whom I read a magazine article which quoted him as saying:


--- Quote ---"Let's talk about having children, as opposed to killing people's children. Like, why say, 'Yeah, if you don't bust ya gun, you're a pussy!'? You know how easy it is to bust a gun? You might as well pick something more interesting, like - jump in a pool! That's about as easy as bustin' a gun, but you ain't hurtin' nobody! Let's all go swimming! If you ain't swimming, you wack!"
--- End quote ---


And while we're sort of on the subject of white rappers, MC Paul Barman is amusing in very, very small doses.

Not An Addict:
He's right about mainstream hip-hop, though. Bitches, ho's, blunts, big pimpin', candy shops, Polaroid pictures.

onewheelwizzard:
But you can’t battle me, so you’d rather embarrass me //
I maintain dignity in the face of calamity //
They reach out their hand to me and talk dishonestly //
But I read through their syntactic structure like Noam Chomsky //
A student so overzealous I motivate my trainers //
I’d rather get some now than get some later //
Take a break from writing rhymes on paper, recondition my character //
Change my nature with 7 days of Vipassana //
Let go of the stress, man I was deeply depressed //
So famished, in fact, I needed a rest //
To regenerate my mind //
Bless the cornerstone of my rhyme with corn oil and wine //
Then see the light, an illuminous paradigm //
It became more apparent with time //
All I had to do was follow the signs //
To be a better man I need help //
I’ve just got to find the link between my inner deity and myself //

Hopefully this puts to rest the question of whether or not all rappers talk about is guns, money, drugs, and hoes.

By the way, this is a verse from the song "M-Sea-Cresy" by Canibus, from his album "Rip The Jacker."  PIcking up a copy is recommended.

Thrillho:

--- Quote from: Outshined ---Hip hop, isn't that the genre of music where they only ever sing about getting rich, knifing "gangstas" and boning drunken hoes?  Yeah, I think that was the one.
--- End quote ---


That's so close minded that it looks like a parody. I'm not ruling out the possiblity.

Hip-hop/rap I like:

Eminem (he's my favwite! No not because he's white, because he's talented and I think his lyrics are great.)
Snoop
Dre
Public Enemy
Beastie Boys
Nas
RATM (they count, dammit)
The Streets, occasionally
Jay Z

The hip-hop sub-genre I really can't get on with is crunk.
