J. Jacques Doesn't Care About Black People: A Hip-Hop Thread
amok:
Not that I know much about the style but get:
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
Atmosphere - Seven's Travels
Dilated Peoples - The Platform
Nas - Illmatic
Then on the more DJ kinda side of things check out DJ Shadow, R2D2, Mr. Dibbs, and that guy whose name begins with a Q that I always forget. Q-bert?
Also, yeah, it's a bit of a stretch to call Gorillaz hip-hop. They're a pop-based mixing pot of everything else. However if you like De La Soul's contribution to "Feel Good Inc." get the 3 Feet High And Rising album.

--- 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.

No, you're also a fucking gay.

Your homophobic sentiments do little to persuade me that the genre is any more rich or meaningful than I already suggested.
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.

Of course, the argument could be made that you can’t get into decent hip-hop by basing your choices on the mainstream, but when is the last time you found decent anything by basing your choices on the mainstream. It holds true with every other fucking genre that only about 5% of the good stuff gets into the charts, so why is it that you think that the only hip-hop in the whole world is what you hear in the top 40?
KharBevNor:
My favourite rapper is Bob Dylan.
...what?

Yeah, pretty much. All the GS NIGGAS N HOES shit on MTV really isn't representative of anything except what record label execs know will sell.
Cartilage Head:
Koopstanicca is actually not a bad rap-group! But as far as rap or hip-hop goes,I usually just enjoy random songs..not necessarily all material by the artists. For example..
Dre-Fuck Tha Police
DMX-Bring Ya Whole Crew
Three Six Mafia-Slob on my Knob,Hit A Motherfucker
To name a few.
