Any suggestions on some good rap tracks

e_BoY · #1 (**permalink**) May 12, 05

Please for the love of god do not suggest anything from artists such as 50cent, the game, ludacris, or any current mainstream hip hop artists or any other hurting artists. something from the late 90's would be nice

Late 90s? The two Black Eyed Peas album before they got that Fergie chick and sold out.

Behind the Front is one of the most glorious hip-hop albums of all time.

Grapes · #14 (**permalink**) May 13, 05

I don't know about that. At least it doesn't suck so freaking bad. They've never been able to MC though.

I don't know any hip hop tracks. What's hip hop? Durrr.

e_BoY · #15 (**permalink**) May 13, 05

thx alot boys some good suggestions here and some bad lol but either way thx for the suggestions.

Bevvy Swift · #16 (**permalink**) May 13, 05

youd better have liked mine or you suck.

Mr.Wrong · #17 (**permalink**) May 13, 05

you want rap, or hip hop?

look at my siig

i jus finished listenin to immortal techniques 'revolutionary vol 2' , thats good
that one be lo album in my sig is nice, you can sample the whole disc at http://www.fatbeats.com/fatbeats_records/ ---the tracks are only 32kbps so just to test out, not a good quality file but you can see if you like it (try rocketship, the underground, the ghetto, sleepwalking, follow my lead/ the whole discs good but those are the standouts in my mind)

outerspace, jedi mind tricks, mr.lif, non-phixion, pharcyde, chief kamachi, breez evahflowin, living legends, zion i, hieroglyphics, the CMA, mos def, talib kweli, masta ace.....

oh yea hey you guys hear that new blackstar shit?? just out in the last month or less on vinyl i jus got it. its dope

is this the type of stuff you into, or no?

[quote=Mr.Wrong]you want rap, or hip hop?

QUOTE]

i will narrow down as good as i can to the type of rap/hip hop i like. i do like a variety of different types of hip hop /rap.

ludacris, 50cent, etc... NO!!! although with that said it doesnt mean i do not listen to once mainstream artists, well nothing that has come out within the last 4 years atleast.

on a more mainstream level i like artists such as wu tang, lost boyz, dpg etc... but these songs are easy to find so i dont need any help there although some suggested favs of ur own would gladly be taken into consideration.

on a more lets say underground level i really love this stuff. where the roots are at and not peopel rapping about bitches, rims, money, capping peopel all the time. artists include the likes of Pharcyde. Chances are if you know who Pharcyde is then you will have some simliar tastes. If you do not know who they are then u obviously are the mainstream type that listens to shit thats hot at the clubs or always played on the radio. umm no i dont need any of that garbage. keep em coming mr. wrong thx!

cheez - no u were not 1 of the people who suggested something i wasnt down with. im all over that wu tang shit. been that way ever since elemtary school. kind of started cause my last name was tang too and i was like who the fuck r these guys. but their sick none the less

once again thx for all the suggestions yall
