J. Jacques Doesn't Care About Black People: A Hip-Hop Thread
Thrillho:
You gotta hand it to a guy who's more prolific posthumously than most people are that are still alive.
PrinceMyshkin:
EDIT: Okay I tried to post a picture but I don't really know what I'm doing. So just to sum up WEST SIDE FOR LIFE.
Also, I think we all know that Tupac is in a better place now. And by better place I mean CUBA!
Biggie has amazing flow, but better than Pac? Absolutely not. Listen to Ready to Die and then listen to All Eyez on Me. You'll see.
JLM:
I've been diggin on some Lightheaded lately. They're not bad, but I'm more partial to the East Coast/New York style.
Any of you heard Out the Gate by DC and Termanology? Production wise it's pretty good. Termanology isn't a great rapper though, and by "not a great rapper" I mean "makes Kanye West look like Rakim."

Totally bought it. And saw him at the Regina Folk Fest. I'm not trying to be a dick here either, but I have listened to old Buck and new Buck. I know it's different from the Centaur and it's not traditional hip-hop but it's still light-years seperate from Woody Guthrie-esque talking blues (which is what Buck professes to idolize). The scratches in "Road House Blues"? The stomping chorus of "Blanc-Bec"? The entire song "Kennedy Killed The Hat"? The coda of "The Floor"? Hip-hop, mang.
EDIT: Also, I disagree with your assessment of "Drawing Curtains" as being not even close to hip-hop. I don't know what you would classify it as if not as hip-hop; avant-garde, jazz-informed hip-hop, but hip-hop nonetheless.
But, this is off-topic and I don't want to start an unneccessary battle with someone who clearly knows his stuff about the hip-hop rap. So, on topic, did I mention Jay-Z is deadly? Also, for pure everything-wrong-with-rap check out Straight Outta Motherfuckin' Compton (I think that's how it's spelled) by Eazy-E. "Fuck My Baby's Momma," with a twenty second shout of "you biiiiiiiiiiiiiitch" is easily the misogynistic highlight.
Oh, and I like me some crunk and grime in small, dance-related doses. YYYYEAH!
