C was going to be you telling us who your favorite rapper was?

RE: the title - "J. Jacques" could be anyone!  It could even stand for "Joseph!"

Kidding aside, it's your site and if you tell me to change the title I'll change it. I didn't think it would be that offensive but ultimately it's your call.

Man, hip hop is something I get angry about.  As I've found out lately there is still so much good hip hop around, and yet hardly any of it gets onto the radio anymore because of all the goddamn fucking whores selling themselves and out & making themselves and the rest of their community look like fucking assholes.

How the fuck have we gone from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest to Snoop Dogg, Ludacris & 50 Cent?

I mean shit, even NWA had some social commentary in their songs.

Ok, so that said:
- Public Enemy
- Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five
- A Tribe Called Quest
- Jungle Brothers
- De La Soul
- NWA, then Ice Cube (Dre can go fuck himself, though)
- Eric B & Rakim
- Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy
- The Roots
- Jurassic 5 (although most of their stuff is starting to sound the same now)
- Sage Francis
- RJD2
- Talib Kweli
- Mos Def
- Jean Grey
- The Herd (Aus)
- Atmosphere (going to a show on saturday night, woo)
- Hilltop Hoods (Aus)
- Koolism (Aus)
- Z-Trip


I think Outkast are alright.  Ugly Duckling and Blackalicious, also.  Some of Missy Elliott's stuff is absolutely fucking hilarious.  I don't really count Gorillaz as rap, but I like them.  Some of Kanye West's stuff is awesome, but I'm really starting to get sick of his attitude.  Same with the Streets.  I really like some of the songs, but I've heard that Mike Skinner's a bit of an asshole.

I liked Eminem a little when I first heard his deprecative humour raps and so forth, but then when he started to take himself seriously I quickly got turned off.  Then he started all that stupid shit with Moby & I realised that he was a fucking meathead.

I used to like Cypress Hill, but then realised they were a bunch of well-off kids masquerading as Gs & tried to claim that Ice Cube ripped off one of their songs or some shit.  Also, B-Real's voice gets to be like a bee in your fucking ear after a while.

I'm sure I've missed some, but thar ye go.

IronOxide:
I'm all about NWA and Kanye West. Past that I'm lost.

Welcome to the entire music scene!  Well, except for genres that very few people like, because then the assholes don't get any play time either, because they can't make any money off of it.
