Also, A Tribe Called Quest is pretty sick, Beastie Boys, Snoop, Nas, Biggie, Dre, Eminem.
Not everything these guys make is great, but 75% of it is true art. Great music, great words. And like other people mentioned on the board, you can't go wrong with a lot of the really old school stuff.
Rap and Country have the same problem. There's a few real gems amongst a TON of absolute GARBAGE. Seriously 99% of what you hear in both of those genres is really unlistenable and terrible. I personally have a much easier time finding the good hip-hop versus good country music though.
I used to listen to alot more but there has just been nothing good released lately, rap died after the 90's. The older I get, the less rap I seem to listen to. Here is what I do listen to though as far as rap goes
Wu-Tang (last couple records have been total crap)
Beastie Boys
A Tribe Called Quest
Kool Keith (and most of his alter egos)
NWA
Public Enemy
Run DMC
Gangstarr
Atmosphere
Jurassic 5 (last album was dreadful)
2 Pac (just the first couple albums and another song or two)
Dr Dre and Snoop (Chronic and Doggystyle days only)
Nas
Cypress Hill
Eric B and Rakim
Notorious BIG
Eminem (just the first couple records)
Grandmaster Flash
Alpine Valley 2000
Summerfest 2006

My 17yr old son got me into some rap that I may not have heard if it weren't for him. I think a lot of the rap that is out there has a great potential for reaching more people if more people would actually check it out and maybe even LISTEN to the words. do you agree?
right now, I am overplaying "Only the good die young" because I love that it has so many great rap artists in it and I got freaked out recently when I heard my son say that the main singer, (Proof, right?" got killed after he sang that song,..........damn.
I also think Eminam is an awesome writer. I know some people might not like him, but he has a lot of talent in his music and when he writes and sings the ones that are deep like "Mockingbird", (that's the one with him talking to his daughter, right?) and "When I'm Gone", I just am blown away. I also liked his song called "No apologies". he is so talented.
a lot of good rap out there.........I am going to read this thread to see if anyone has any stuff that they are into that I can check out....
great thread.............
Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on The Creek......
Together we will float like angels.........
In the moment that you left the room, the album started skipping, goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.........
my kids and I were checking out the Outkast video for their old song, "Ms Jackson", and we were cracking up when he tells the girls mother that he will love her daughter forever, and then the action stops and he is standing there saying, "forever. forever. Forever? For--ever ever??????"
so funny.
I like the last new one I heard awhile back you know the "shake it like a poloroid picture". They are good as well.

You are so right on. Most people do not even read the lyrics. Which is sad casue if they did us Parants would be able to a better job of directing our children to better music. Not saying making a choice for them but allowing them to see what is really out there and get them to understand what they are listing to. Then they can do the same for us.
I thank my father for opening my eyes to all the music in the world. He has always been a big Jazz fan and clasical music fan. And with outhim telling me to put down the floyed and rush if only for a second or two in Highschool I would never have grown such a love of most forms of music. (though I never was able to get him to listen to Rush?)
And see my above examples of great political rap artists.

Yeah, the words in some of these are really good. I haven't litened to much of Snoop Dog's stuff but I loved "Gangsters Paradise" after that movie came out , Desperate Minds.........it gave me the chills truthfully.
And I also like Fifty Cents' "Many Man", (that is the title, right).
and then, there is my bad mood music, that is so hysterical to think that this entertains me, but what is that one song called when the singer sings, "I don't like y'all , so f--k y'all"?

Not a fan of rap, as it is now. I love hip hop though, I remember the first time I heard Jurassic 5 I freaked out. Lupe Fiasco is a rare talent today, you should check out Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor and Lupe Fiasco's The Cool, two fantastic albums, I hope he's hitting Europe this summer, I been wanting to catch this guy in concert for about two or three years now.
Also anyone listen to MF Doom?
The messed up thing is that proper hip hop is alive and well, it's not getting the coverage at the minute, but like I said, with artists like Fiasco coming into the spotlight maybe we might see a change, god knows the genre needs it.

Really only about 78% of rap is about slanging rocks and new Lambo's. The other 22% is the some of the best new music being put out today.
