Rap
MilkmanDan:
Yeah, Sole kicks ass. It took me a while to get into the Anticon sound, but the Deep Puddle Dynamics album sweetened the pill with some Slug, and I started listening to just straight Anticon quite alot.
Written down Hip-Hop lyrics can't really compete with straight poetry, because It's not their medium. You gotta listen to it.

hells yesssss.
(insert huge list of stuff)
i mostly find myself going back to the old stuff, though. A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, NWA, Grandmaster Flash (saw this guy recently, he was crap live. sounded like he was just fucking around. maybe he was, i dunno).
i'm getting into Eric B & Rakim lately, and found a few Jay-Z things to sound pretty good, but the rest to be utter crap. totally don't understand the hype.

--- Quote from: Cpt.Fantastic ---I can't remember what site I was on, but there was a guy who said that Led Zep sucked and rap ruled, then another person chimed in with this gem:
'Y'all are gay if you don't like Led Zeppelin. All rap is is some black person talking gay.'
A masterpiece. Totally true too.
--- End quote ---
" Some black talking gay" ?
And you agree?!
thats just bullshit
McTaggart:
Now that I think of it, all the hiphop I own is from white artists.
marc1785:
It annoys me that people say that rapping about bitches, spinner rims, and AKs is crap and doesn't have a place. I mean now, yes its not the easiest to defend like more 'sophisticated' rap and hip hop, which is some of the most intelligently created music around. I mean, listen to the lyrics on a few CDs, I promise you that you'll need to go get a dictionary for some of the words (and I'm not talking about defining ice as diamond)
but back to the "MTV" rap and what not... Guys like 50 cent aren't just crap. Guy like 50cent and The Game and others make some of the best party hip hop available. Songs like Disco Inferno may about about him sitting in a club getting fucked up on Henesy and Hypnotic but that beat is damn good and people will dance all night to that
