Hip Hop / Rap Thread

[jaymaximus]

Since I listen to 85% hip hop, I figured we should start a thread and see who everyone else is listening to. Maybe you guys can give some new ideas or remind someone of some good songs they forgot about.

I'll admit, I'm mostly into late 80's and early 90's Hip Hop. But I don't think everyone put today sucks. Im feeling Wale, Kendrick, Big Sean, and some J.Cole.

My all time top 5 (in no order)

1. Tupac
2. Tech N9ne
3. Ice Cube
4. Eminem
5. DMX

Honorable mention to Goodie MOB, 8ball and MJG, Jay-Z, E-40, Snoop, Outkast, Twista, Redman, Brotha Lynch, Scarface and my actual favorites Bone Thugs n Harmony.

Some good choices. I forgot about Hopsin. I hadnt heard too much of his, but he was featured on some Strange Music stuff so I went back and listened. Dude has some skills.

 

[MythotiK]

His songs with Wizzz are pretty good...

My wife calls me a freak as I go between Hopsin and Whitechapel

[Docd187123]

Jadakiss and Styles P

^^^^ the only duo better IMO is Capone and Noriega. Red and Meth are in my favorites as well. Pinero and Kiss have been doing this for decades now though and there still just as good as ever. Kiss' new album was fire.

The ONLY reason its hard for me to include Biggie is because he only had 1.5 albums while he was alive. Just not enough work.

But life after death is in my top 10 albums easy.

Them 2 work really good together. They had this song also, with Busta and a few others. And Busta and Twista are always dope together (do people still say dope?)
