Rap/Hip-Hop Discussion Thread

[Mr. Kenney]

You still get a raging boner over me dont you.

1)Its called a weekend.
2) Its called a social life.
3) Its called a GF.
4) Its called guild duty in WoW.
5) Guild forums.
6) if you noticed ive made like 5 posts or some in the last few days, 1 was to post pictures, then ther others was quick replys to said posts.
7) No one really has given a good reason why Jay Z isnt the greatest. FZ was really the only one (Swagger Jacker - Camron diss) Which is sorta funny becuase Jay wrote a bit of stuff for Cam Check the Jay Z reply.

Mr. Kenney:
Your list is really nice BTW, looks more like an "underrated rapper" list, but some strong points there.

Dr Dre thou? i would of went with DOC (Well known fact his Dre's ghostwriter)

Common doesn't get enough love. haha

Anyways, I'll look into DOC. I'm not very prolific with West Coast hip-hop outside of the N.W.A scene.

EDIT: Damn! It's Funky Enough is awesome.

You have never heard DOC? He was great untill he got into a car crash, and fucked his vocal cords up =/ His a ghost writer for a few artists:

The D.O.C. remained important to Dr. Dre, who used his talents as one of the writers for his debut solo album The Chronic, contributing to the tracks "Lil' Ghetto Boy," "A ***** Witta Gun," and "Bitches Ain't Shit".

He has worked with Snoop Dogg on his latest album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment on four songs

Oh and he wrote for NWA

[Mr. Kenney]

I'm downloading "No One Can Do It Better" right now, after hearing the single on YouTube.

Thanks for the heads up.

The blue carpet treatment sucked

I was actually impressed with the rejuvenation shown by snoop on his leading track. He was busting out multis, complex metaphors, even shit i couldn't understand.......(well maybe not that)...but he was impressive compared to his recent shit..so much that the idea of ghostwriters never occured to me until i read jase's post...

Have any of you guys ever heard Words from the Genius?
It's the GZA's first album, came out in 1990. Some of it is pretty bad, but there are some good tracks on it.

It's decent.

But I like Liquid Swordz better.

And yet another insightful Pirates_DC post.

Little note: The song Imagine, was off Detox. The Detox version is MENT to have different verses.
Which only has on confirmed track listing.

Alright-- I listened to Eric B. & Rakim's discography after procrastination, and I must say that they're fucking awesome.

Other noteworthy acts I've stumbled upon in the past few days:
Blackalicious
The Fugees

REZ THREAD RANK 4!!!!

I need to know a song, the lyrics are stuck in my head.
I was playing my Anger Managment Tour CD, namely Anger Managment - Eminem, then i remember this line:
"Fuck Anger Management, I need someone to manage my anger." - Royce 5'9'

Royce said it on the tour, and im almost 100% its on another song, but i can not for the love of me, find it.
I could of heard it on one of the Beef DVD's, but im sure i have it on my Playlist =/

Anyone got any ideas?

[Dr Mario]

Shock of all shocks, Hypnos is looking for some rap to listen to. Previously, I'd pretty much written the genre off, but I've heard a few good tracks (mostly Dead Prez, iirc) and now I'm looking for some good albums.

Course, most of my music background is punk and metal, so harsh and political is what I'm mostly looking for. So, what would anyone recommend me?
