Been listenin to this cat more recently
Edgar Allen Floe~

Frawress victory, OP!

obligatory

I will rap for food...
But fo real, these niggas rap fast as hell...
I thought twista could spit it fast....

of course.

Oh my god. Illmatic.
I don't know ya'll opinions...but
Reasonable Doubt could NOT even compare to Illmatic.

get out

lil wayne is good.
but not hip-hop.
try gang starr

Bet ya'll haven't heard of these guys in a longg ass time.

>>4677965
fuck, haven't heard of them ever......

pretty good

gotta give props to luda

anyone a fan of soul assassins?

I'm the East Coast G-Funk soulful. I have fucking class.

>>4678025
east coast, west coast; if it sounds good and the lyrics true i'm gunna listen to it

>>4678041
The truest album ever

Pic related, one of the most upfront honest hip-hop albums ever.

In my humble opinion,
not that 4chan would care,

I think Biggie is the best.
Hands down.
but toast to 2pac as well.

>>4678045
don't you think eminem should have never come back? i feel he left on a high, now he has just lowered himself with his latest album =/

Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers, whatever you wanna call him (the white rapper)

He's good as hell.
He actually started me into rap believe it or not.
I don't listen to none of his shit anymore.
I think he went downhill after the Eminem Show.
But I thought Infinite was great.

Either way, it's rap- not hiphop.

>>4678060
exactly
rap-guns bitches and bling
hip-hop- real life

>>4678060
I thought Relapse DECIMATED Encore. Relapse is in his best albums.
>>4678069
but Biggie WAS real life. He was a hip-hop artist under a rap personage.

it's a good day that i see intelligence on 4chan.
^_^

...OH GOD ..I'm not doing COKE!!!

>>4678025
Samefag from this. LOVING Little Brother. About to do Cunninlynguists and Binary Star

Don't let this thread die.

some nigga stole my name and wrote that coke post.
lol
wtf is up haha
I wont let hip-hop die never.


OK but, i know im gonna get a lot of disagreements with this one...

>>4678086
those who listen to hip-hop are generally smarter than those who listen to other genres (though i suspect classical fags on average are the smartest)

>>4678153
Why not 36 Chambers

>>4678153
if your a wu-tang fan you might like these guys, but tbf you might just want to listen to wu-tang instead
you might like this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFEX8rMdGKE&feature=related

not to shabby, but roots vary in quality for me from track to track (on any album)

pigeon john is pretty good too

this is one of my favorite albums right now

Oh hai

Roots do tend to vary song to song. Very TruSpeak.

I'm listenin to that Wu-tang (youtube) song right now...Sounds like a revenge song..besides the kids for the chorus haha

But i'm checkin out almost every name that you guys drop.

Whoa! it's like Wu-tang jazz!!
El Michels Affair - C R E A M

>>4678197
cannibal ox is ok, i think definitive jux though is starting to loose the plot in the whole alt-hip-hop scene....

>>4678228
on the topic of alt-hip-hop heres a classic

I got some bad news which is, OP gotta leave the hip-hop department here at 4chan for the rest of the day.
But keep it funky fresh.
N most of all keep it real.
But not too real...if you saw that Chapelle Show episode back in the day...
Anyway-
STOP FAKIN' JAX!

Peace.

bump

more please, this is the only good thread on /mu/

if given the chance do not listen to this album, it will ruin your view of guru.

>>4678857
i've heard only a few of his stuff but i really liked it, what albums should i start with?

>>4678857
gangstarr and maybe his first couple solo albums, but don't listen to guru 8.0 unless you want to torture yourself

if you like dela or nujabes then you definitely need to listen to this album

resurrecting this pearl

Don't mind me, just being the "Siccest" album ever made.

>>4678069
ive never really considered rap itself to be a genre, that is like calling singing a genre; and just as there is rap in hip-hop there is also rap in pop music

out september 15

>>4678060
rap is a noun, hip hop is a culture. also, not all hip hop songs feature rapping.

>>4678917
honestly one of the best hip-hop albums of the decade

rescued

>>4677868

dont know what everyone else here thinks of this but its amazing

a few more that haven't been mentioned

jazz addix
smooth j
the good people
inherit

good shit

>>4680312
it is absolutely fantastic, the lyrics flow so well into each other its insane

this is probably one of the first hip-hop albums, and it's still a classic to this day.

started listening to this today, first impressions are very good

tis a goodin'

Afrika Bambaataa - Planet Rock

http://www.mediafire.com/?p1zl1gulwiz

awesome album so say the least
enjoy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62gl8dtMjCw

>>4680571
that's a classic allright but it's not hip hop yet

>>4680312
His solo stuff and the shit with Hieroglyphics are raw, Deltron3030 not so much

>>4680717
and souls of mischief which is probably the best hes been on

MAC DRE"S the name

why is it that hip-hop threads always end up with the highest percentage of quality posts?

>>4680739
I don't know man, I didn't really like souls of mischief, the only good song was 93' till but I haven't listened to the whole album yet

this is good, this sort of death rap/hip-hop stuff is still developing, but what has come out is still pretty good
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kap2BaSNoF0

>>4680759
93 til has a different tone from the rest of the album, still there are plenty of good tracks... just don't expect them to be as chilled

>>4680783
lol I think I'll pass on this one

can't believe no one's brought this up definite classic

>why is it that hip-hop threads always end up with the highest percentage of quality posts?
cuz
>those who listen to hip-hop are generally smarter than those who listen to other genres (though i suspect classical fags on average are the smartest)

>A lil' somethin' for ya'll hip-hoppers out there.
>Bringin it back to the classics with some chill ass soul driven beats to bob your head to.

>Enjoy it if you haven't heard it.

Why are you pretending to be black?

just bumping cause this thread is awesome

>>4678579
>>4678594
>>4678599
>>4678604
thank you

What this thread need is some Andre Nickiatina & Equipto

smooth smooth smooth

I may be the only one here but i'm not a fan of swearing in lyrics, for me it's a sign that writer lacks words to express himself properly

They might sound a little corny but they are pretty awesome once you give them a try
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61j3CxQLszU

>>4680907
It can be good if the artists picks their spots, swearing on every line and verse can get annoying but that's rap

>>4680907
fag

classic

>>4680955
living example

>>4680950
exactly, i guess some times there is no way better than saying fuck you than....FUCK YOU`1

>>4680986
shit minus the typo =0

Why no love for Nas in this thread? his older shit is raw especially illmatic listen for yourselfs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYZ_RD--Lpg

>>4681002
god dammit that was one of the first posts!

>>4681002
did you bother to scroll up at all

>>4681032
>>4681033
lol my bad

fantastic fusion of hip-hop and 8-bit style music. lyrics are brilliant

>>4681045
sorry couldn't resist

>>4681060
lol surprisingly not bad

>>4681090
i recommend you listen to "splash women" if you haven't already

pretty chill this one

this is easily one of my favorite albums if not the favorite. sound check on saturn is a fantastic instrumental, god i have to learn how to play that =0

great hip-hop/trip-hop from the Netherlands

from the heart, but some people think he's sold out.....

right im off to bed, if this thread is still alive in the morning i shall keep posting. thanks to everyone who posted

yeah artofficial is good.
