Any Hip Hop Heads on the forum?

TheTeeWhy

I dont mean crap like Wiz Khalifa, Drake and crap like that I mean the golden age, anyone have respect for the classic age of Rap?

Please if you dislike it, just stay out, no one wants to hear how you listen to staind all day in your room. :P

woot woot! hip hop junky right here. Was listening to classic Wu during my jog today.

Thats what I'm talkin about. I bumped Paid in Full by Eric B and Rakim during my run yesterday, Kicked *kitten*.

If theres one thing that old rap is good for its getting your *kitten* movin during a workout, bangin beats from beginning to end. Love it. I still love the new too, but some of these clowns really should have never gotten a mic.

hell yeah! low end theory is STILL one of my favorite albums, i love a tribe called quest, digable planets, wu-tang (of course), black star still gets MUCH play, i like common, but like common sense much better, fugees, masta ace, the roots, ugh..don't get me started, i'll be at this ALL day

I mean stuff that shaped and really molded the guys today, guys like masta ace, rakim, tupac, the wu tang clan. Back when it made you think instead of being all about getting play at the local dance clubs.

I love all types of rap but I've recently really got my hands dirty with the golden age, and it's just crazy how much skill these guys have, they were ahead of their time. I DO love the new acts, but I'm just fascinated at the golden age lately. I hate the stuff like Kid Cudi and Wiz khalifa though cause all they rap about is smoking weed and stuff. I say if your whole catalog is just that, hand the mic to one of the underground emcees who actually deserve a voice.

Never was a huge hip hop fan but loved Tupac, Biggie, LL,Snoop, and Dre. Cypress Hill, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and NWA. were all cool.

yeah Aesop rock counts i'm pretty sure Aesop Rock has been on tracks with The Grouch and Buck 65

TheTeeWhy

Yeah, to me, basically anyone who isnt on TV all the time, or on radio. Is underground. Aesop Rock, Sage Francis, Atmosphere.

Brother Ali is another guy I've liked for years but just recently have gotten to truly dig into the discography. I like rock too but Rap just has so many intricacies to it.

you have a good taste in music.

I have a pretty eclectic taste in music though from rock and reggae to drum and bass.

i grew up in L.A so I have always been into the L.A underground hip hop scene but back in the napster days i was exposed to so much more good hip hop from Canada and all over the U.S.

Hell yeah, Im actually going to a rap show next thursday here featuring two great canadian rappers "Classified" and "Shad"
Anyone should check them both out, they are both so talented and totally deserve to have people hearing them over these guys who smoke some weed and say "ya know what, let's write a whole album about this"

bleh. Im fussy cause I dont like Weed rap like Kid Cudi and Wiz Khalifa, or Mac Miller, but I dont mind when Dr Dre, or The Game raps about it a bit.

SkateboardFi

i love jean grae, please tell me yall are on her, she could classify as new hiphop, i also love little brother, slum village, kidz in the hall, pacific division, asher roth, kendrick lamar, voli, cool kids, lupe (of course), j cole. slick rick (the ruler) & doug e fresh, and if you like instrumental low key laid back hip hop check out nujabes, he's a dope producer responsible for the soundtrack of the anime show 'samurai champloo'..one of my faves, depressed me that he died recently..

you are one lucky son of a gun..they have a black star concert in new orleans (mos def & talib kweli) but i'm going to be in my classes UGHhhhh i need it in my life...

joi1407

yeah I went to the black star, De la Soul and Rakim gig here (London UK). it was great, even tho we missed Rakim as he was so unfashionably early, which never happens at hip hop gigs.
Also going to Random Axe and rhymesayers later this year...

arghhh apparently i'm in the wrong country..you guys are having all the fun. and you're right, being early NEVER happens in a hip hop show, i definitely waited 3 hours for both kidz in the hall AND lupe fiasco. i bet that concert was amazing...i'd love to be abroad and get some good hip hop in my soul
