What's the difference? They are all shit and speak nigger. I don't understand a word they say.

Oh my fucking god you faggots don't even deserve to listen to hip-hop. You have bad taste and are from this point on no longer to comment on hip-hop as a genre.

Most of these responses are so bad that if you made

a "top 3 rock bands" thread and someone replied

1. Nickelback
2. Linkin Park
3. Miley Cyrus

It would be a more valid response than anything in this thread.

Kane, Rakim, and Doom are the only responses that didn't make me want to vomit. KRS and Wu-Tang can hang out too I guess, but it's pretty fucking old how suburban white kids that heard of wu-tang off the dave chapelle show pretend like they get street cred for mentioning a group of guys that between them that hasn't put out a decent record in 20 years(OB4CL2 was shit before you even try to mention it)

>>7329537

oh shut the fuck up, you golden age faggot. god forbid someone can listen to something that's not NINE TRE REAAAL HIP-HOP
I grew up on wu-tang, but i'm not latching on to their cocks because i've moved on from that. expand your taste you worthless cockbladder.

>>7329537
So since you're done spraying period blood all over your monitor would you care to tell us who you listen to when it comes to this genre?

Eminem shouldn't even be up on that list. I'd put Snoop Dogg up there before Eminem, at least Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle is 10x better than any Eminem recording anyone who disagrees is a faggot.

>>7329596
niiiiine deuce, creepin while ya sleepin

What ya listen to man? I'm not that guy but I'm also a golden age faggot but I'm curious

>>7329339 is my tops, but MF DOOM is really only on there because of Madvillainy. Gang Starr is far and away my favorite 90's group, they managed to stay consistent all throughout the decade. i'm really into instrumental hip-hop, so a lot of overseas artists like Michita, Shin-Ski and Oh No. been playing Pharaohe Monch, Handsome Boy Modeling School, The X-Ecutioners/Roc Raida, Organized Konfusion, and Shinsight Trio recently.

expand, expand, expand

hieroglyphics

like what the fuck white kids get out

>>7329599

Pretty hard to narrow down three without leaving shit out

Boot Camp Clik and associated acts(Sean Price, Buckshot, OGC, etc)
Rakim(I realize seventh seal wasn't all that great and he's a pretty cliche pick, but I stand by it)
Black Star(Mos Def and Talib Kweli)
The Roots
Big L(I realize I've already don't more than three, but if I actually did try to narrow down 3, he'd definitely be in it.)

And honorable mention for Marco Polo and Torae, because they dropped their first album double barrel in 09 and i've pretty much been listening to it on repeat ever since.

You two: tell me all of the rappers I need to hear to have a legitimate opinion about rapping. Seriously, I've only really listened to some of the more popular good rap (i.e. wu tang) but, damn, maybe its time to get out of the kiddie pool, know what I'm saying?

I am disappoint no run dmc, at least few people said krs1.

Just three? Goddamnit. This is difficult.

Mos Def
MF Doom
Notorious B.I.G.

Rap is the lowest form of entertainment mankind has ever achieved. Way to fucking go, dumbasses.

Step Into the Arena is my favorite album, but Moment of Truth is so much better for newcomers. it's got Above the Clouds, which is far and away my favorite song

>>7329537 Kane, Rakim, and Doom are the only responses that didn't make me want to vomit.
Why, because they're "indie"?

Fuck off, hipster. Snoop and Eazy are awesome.

necro

>>7334817
uh, rakim got the first million dollar record deal ever in rap. they were both mega popular in the late 80s/early 90s. neither was indie by any means.

Nas
2pac


Love the nu skool so much 2 tho, they are unarguably more competent at rhyming and producing, as the genre has evolved over time... myabe they don't have the same soul but the skill on ixtapes out nowadays is incredble Lupe, wayne and the rest of YM and others are actually good if you get beyond their pop shit.

Kool G Rap
Ghostface Killah

There's either a lot of trolls in here, or a bunch of ignorant idiots who know nothing of rap.

I listen to mainstream shit usually but it doesn't compare to the artist I listed above.

1. Lil Wayne - "My mind shines even when my thoughts seem dark." "In every dark cloud there's a silver lining - I know." "Fuck if you agree, I'm bright but I don't give a fuck if you - see - me."

2. Drake - "Wise words from a decent man, back when I was tryna put a ring on Aleisha's hand" "The game needs change and I'm the motherfuckin' cashier - nickels for my thoughts, dimes in bed, quarters of the kush shape the lines in my head. Take my verses too serious you hate me cuz im the one to paint a vivid picture no HD." "On second thought if we have it then she can keep the baby - cuz' she ain't give me the butterflies that aleisha gave me."

3. Kid CuDi - "I'm feelin' like I'm peter pan - minus the tights and the fairies, happy to see how far I've come to the SAME place" "The moon will illuminate my room and soon I'm consumed by my doom. Once upon a time nobody gave a fuck. It's all said and done and my cocks been sucked."

~Memorized. Definitely the best.
