Best rapper from Houston currently?

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

I want to hear to the popular opinion, which rapper from Houston is putting out the best music?

 

I say Bun B or Chamillionaire.

 

Bun B's guest apperence for the most part have been great, and Cha's CD Sound of Revenge was the great stuff, Void in my Life was an amazing song.

 

Scarface is the GOAT from Houston.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

Probably Bun B. He's got a so-so flow, but his bass-heavy voice makes him distinct. His flow isn't anything special, but it's a style that does him well.

 

I don't think Cha's anything special.

I didn't think Cha was very special, until I downloaded the Sound of Revenge album.

 

Go download Void In My Life and Think I'm Crazy.

 

Amazing work.

[Big Ol' Smitty 0]

 

Not this guy.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

I'm always amused that Flip got so big despite that album cover.

 

Bun B is the best. Chamillionaire is just there, but he seems to be a great interview. Every piece I've read involving him is pretty interesting.

Bun B is a fucking legend. Chamillionaire isn't near his level. I personally was happy that Pimp C went to jail so I didn't have to hear all that pimp/crack rap that UGK had and could listen to Bun B rap about actual stuff.

this white boy.

Paul Wall is...I don't know. He knows how to work around the beat, but most of the Houston topics don't appeal to me at all. I couldn't care less about cars or bling, so most of the southern artists instantly lose interest from me.

 

Cha sounds like he's the benefit of some solid production. I've already stated my feelings on Bun, but I'll add that I'm impressed at his ability to break outside the realm of what most southern artists rap about.

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

Lil Flip is pretty good, though he fell off and is trying to hard to be commercial.

 

But listen to his older raps, he was talented.

 

Cham doesn't benefit from great production, the guy can just flat out flow.

 

He outshined Krayzie Bone in the fast type flow on the song "Ridin" IMO, which is amazing and very hard to do. Not even Twista could do that(listen to Spit Your Game on Duet, Krayzie killed Twista on that track).

 

He murdered the Victory beat, infact, every beat I hear him on, even if his verse is lackluster, he flows over the beat great.

So what else is there other than money, bitches, hoes, cars, bling, parties, what's my name, and represent ur hood raps?

There's that Donkey Kong song that Will Smith did, possibly as the Fresh Prince, I'm not sure

[Bruiser Chong 0]

Obviously the bulk of hip-hop I can't personally relate to. But I find talk about tricked out cars and icy jewelry to be the least enchanting of the unrelatable topics.

Go pick up an old Outkast, or Scarface album. Thats really southern rap.

That's a real cover?

 

You can keep your B Buns, Little Flips and Cha-something-or-others. Back in my day we had this:

 

 

And we liked it.

Scarface is still GOAT of Houston, Bun B is alright. But the rest them I don't care for.

On net, all I heard how Chamillionaire was the next big thing out of Houston and I still aint impressed, and Paul took all of Cha's shine, when Paul was consider the weak link of the group.

 

White dudes with plat fronts=album sales

Speaking of Paul, he seems to be getting progressively fatter with every music video he appears in.

Of course Paul Wall is gonna make more money then Cham.

 

Wall is Mike Jones right hand man, while Cham wants be his own rapper.

 

If Paul Wall was black, he'd be just another Houston rapper like Slim Thug.

[Black Lushus 0]

what's everyone's take on Paul Wall? Personally, I think he's the most redundant rapper ever...I don't think he can get through a rap without saying "posted up like..." at least 3 times.

[Carnival 0]

Paul Wall raps? I thought he just flashed his grill a bunch of times. One white rapper who gets no respect from me.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

He has a decent flow, but range of topics he raps about is so minute that every verse has a "been there, heard that" feel.

Since when has being white helped you get further in the rap game? I don't think anyone has forgotten, nor forgiven the Vanilla Ice fiasco, no matter how many Eminems or Beastie Boys we are blessed with. And Paul Wall is alright. He and Jones have more "hustle" than Cham and they don't burn bridges as quickly either and that's very important down here.

Paul Wall is totally wack, he need to stick with the "Chopped and Screwed" (eventhough I don't like them) tracks, and making grills for others.

[Paul Stanley 0]

Ah, i'm from the Dirty Dirty'

 

Used to be from West Texas, used to manage rapper Mr. Coop

 

Got stuff from Big T, old Lil' Flip, DJ Screw

 

Paul Wall is severely overrated

Goodness no. Even if he sucks, which I'm not saying he does or that he doesn't, nobody should have to stick to Chopped and Screwed. That shit is terrible.

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

He was better when he was with Chamillionaire, because atleast he didn't repeat himself as much as he does now.

 

Now he's horrible, and lame. Typical sterotypical southern rapper.

You mean the fiasco that got Ice all those millions? The only talented white rapper to not get shown love is Bubba Sparxx.

Atmosphere don't get respect, and they are good white rappers.

Yea, lyrically Bubba did alright on that Booty track for what its worth, then ying yang twins brought it down.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

I'm sorry, I can't make it past the stupid music video and insipid hook to pay much attention to the verses. The fact that the Ying-Yang Twins pretty much doomed it from point go, anyway.
