Guest David Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Any good rap songs out there that i should get? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nightscrawler Report post Posted July 21, 2003 "Get by" by Talib Kweli is a good song. But since you really like 50 Cent, try listening to his songs with Lloyd Banks from G-Unit on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest shlidgn90 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 try to find the new outkast song ghetto music. i would like to mention trying most of the talib kweli album. also try out black stars respiration feat. common. if you want to hear something older, any song from ice cubes america's most wanted or death certificate would be good to listen to.

Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Masta Ace "Disposable Arts". I'm talking about the whole album here. It's really that great. If you don't want the whole thing, then go for the songs "Block Episode" "Acknowledgement" and "Blue Skies Sunshine" and "Alphabet Soup" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Go Old School and WASH AWAY your sins of admiting you like 50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest David Report post Posted July 21, 2003 What's wrong with 50? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nightscrawler Report post Posted July 21, 2003 50's alright, there are better hip-hop artists than him, but he makes good club songs, and has good beats (thanks to Dre). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 21, 2003 50 CAN'T rap his way out of an paper bag... The beats are what made him so damn popular... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ant_7000 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 ^ Mixtapes made him popular not Em or Dre, if you like 50 I suggest get a couple songs from "Guess Who's Back" album or G-Unit Mixtapes which I thought both was better than Get Rich or Die tryin. Some songs from Talib Kweli's "Quality" album or Neva Scared remix just Busta's verse. Outkast "she lays on my lap" in str8. What kind of stuff are you looking for in particular? Conscious, club/crunk, or gangsta? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest godthedog Report post Posted July 21, 2003 if you're a white dude i recommend dipping your toe in the water with the beastie boys. preferably "hey ladies" or "gratitude." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 get some Nelly, Eminem, P. Diddy, Ja Rule...and you be the toughest gansta out there... in seriously, Run DMC, Nas, Public Enemy, NWA, Jurassic 5, and its all good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Adrian 3:16 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Here's some more albums not yet mentioned you should check for: Wu-Tang Clan- 36 Chambers, Wu-Tang Forever Nas- Illmatic, It Was Written Jay-Z- Reasonable Doubt 2Pac- Me Against the World, All Eyez On Me Raekwon- Only Built 4 Cuban Linx GZA- Liquid Swords Ghostface Killah- Ironman, Supreme Clientele Mobb Deep- The Infamous Big Punisher- Capital Punishment If you're a hip-hop fan already you should already know these, but your question was a little vague. There some of my favorites though if you've never heard them. You can thank me later. If you're just downloading individual songs and you want some old 50 Cent shit, get "Ghetto Quaran", "I'm a Hustler", "The Good Die Young" and "How to Rob" (the song that got his foot in the door, and still his funniest to date).

Guest shlidgn90 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 i know most "rap" fans hate this guy because of ll cool j and eminem but give a listen to some canibus. specifically the mic club album. another album worth listening to is chino xl's i told you so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BAR Report post Posted July 21, 2003 I haven't listened to rap in years but there's one rap album that's always stuck with me: Doggystyle. Yeah, you've probably already got it. But, if you haven't, get it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted July 22, 2003 Look for and buy if you can DJ RECTANGLE mixtapes, he is the best and does not do the annoying shoutouts or interrupts songs trying to be an MC. The latest release is 1200s Never Die in it DJ Rectangle mocks and attacks mixtape djs who screw up "exclusive" tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
