I've seen a couple topics remotely similar, but not all out like it should be. So who is your favorite rapper of all-time alive or dead, old or new, anything?

I have to admit that mine is Eminem, but I like other rappers like Rakim, Mos Def, and Del Tha Funky Homosapien. The only rap I dislike is "gangsta" rap. I don't want to hear 'bout guns and hoes, 'especially when you don't even live like that in real life.

some gangster rap is good.

i dont have 1 fav rapper but there are many i like

Aceyalone
MF Grimm
MF Doom
Mos Def
Ras Kass
Chino XL
Illogic
Mr. Lif

etc...

No rappers are good. I utterly despise that entire genre of "music" if you can even call it that. all they rap about is sex and getting bitches and stuff like that. i mean FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!!! HAVE SOME ORIGINALITY!!! none of them rap about real life situations like a lot of actual bands do. here is all that needs to be said about rap:
R - Retards
A - Attempting
P - Poetry

dude. you have absolutely no idea how ignorant you sound. you obviously no knowledge of rap (or even all music for that matter). you only listen to what MTV tells you to. so far now. stfu.

Eazy E
Old Dr Dre

Find it quite ironic that your fav is Eminem yet you don't like hearing about guns and hoes.

-AC

Chris Wallace and Old School LL. That's about it.

how about 50 cent, his lyrics are so powerful and meaningful

"I wanna un button your pants just a little bit, not alot baby girl just a little bit"

or

"I'll take you to the candy shop
I'll let you lick the lollypop
Go 'head girl, don't you stop
Keep going 'til you hit the spot"

absolutely pathetic

Yea, same with Simple Plan

"Mom and dad are mean to me Boo hoooooooooo"

true

Eminem:

"And you wonder why I carry every gun under the sun

Whether its unloaded full or an un-registered one"

"I put a clip in the gun, and pointed at his lungs
We both drew at the same time and stood stunned"

"Got your gold and you got your gun
But life as an outlaw just begun"

I really cant picture Eminem shooting someone

i can picture him shooting himself

My favorite "rappers" are Doom, Del the Funky Homosapien, Ghostface, Vast Aire, and Madlib(quasimoto) because his stuff on The Unseen is hilarious. im sure theres more but cant think of any right now.

The Unseen is incredible thumbup

Yup, It freaking opened up my mind and had it's way with my brain. It just changed my whole perspective on hip hop. So different. Everyone should check our The Unseen just to see how different Hip Hop could be.

The music I like that falls into rap genres is:

Aesop Rock
Eyedea & Abilities
Sage Francis
Mr. Lif
Alias
Saul Williams
Buck 65
Atmosphere
Rjd2

Those are some I like, haven't heard much other rap and I don't like stuff that appears in the charts like 50 Cent, Snoop Dog etc.

Whatever happened to Eyedea?

Is he still with Rhymesayers? (Think that was the name)

-AC

I think he is still with Rhymesayers Entertainment, not too sure.

Hey, listen dipshit, not all of them rap about killin' and hoes, that is pretty much all "gangster". I like intelligent rap, and rappers do rap about real life situations. So go take your little ignorant ass and go kick the chair you racist mother****er.

Ya, but those are the songs I don't like. Not all of his songs are "I'm gonna get her pussy wet" and "I'm gonna shoot your house up 'cause I'm king of the ghetto" type shit. Some are, and some are serious, but they are all well written and such.

Ya, Sage Francis is another one of my favorite rappers. My favorite song of his is "Makeshift Patriot".

...sorry posted twice by accident.

i never really liked Eminem. had a few good songs that i forgot about

who else you listen to Burner?

Umm here is the rap I have on my computer(not nearly enough):

Akrobatik
Beastie Boys
Del Tha Funky Homosapien
Eminem
Eric B. & Rakim
Geto Boys (hehe, I guess they might be considered "gangsta"
Grandmaster Flash
Masta Ace
MC Chris (funny shit)
Mos Def
Outkast
Sage Francis
Slick Rick
Snoop Dogg
Wu-Tang and the members

Geto Boys are "gangsta" but they have a message for every song.

IF he only listened to what MTV told him to, he would like rap. Shitty rap, at that.

Everyone just sees all his gimmicks and shock rap and don't even notice his elaborate rhyme schemes and personal lyrics. Kim, Stan, Guilty Conscience, Bad Meets Evil, If I Had, Rock Bottom, Till I Collapse, Brain Damage, and As The World Turns more than make up for all his Real Slim Shady's and Just Lose It's he's made.

The Unseen is a punk rock band

For favorite Artist I like Immortal Technique, I know he's not the best, but he's my favorite, and I listen to him the most.

For favorite song though. The Outkast/RATM colaboration called "Bombs over Baghdad" is kick ass. Check it out.

Originally posted by RedAlertv2

no he means Quasimoto- The Unseen

the unseen is an album.

MF Doom
Madlib(Quasimoto)
Gang Starr
Mos Def
Aesop Rock
Hebaliser
Atmosphere
Method Man and Redman

Count Bass D
John Smith
MF Doom
Madlib
mcenroe
Pip Skid
Ghostface Killah
Edan
Cormega
I Self Devine
MURS
Gift of Gab
J-Live

There's a lot of MC's I like. Too many to list.

Check the sig for more.

did I Self Devine release an advance album or something? some guy was looking for it on Soulseek.

I wont comment on some of the ignorance shown on this thread as I'm getting sick of typing the same thing.
My fav Mc's at the moment:
Gift of Gab, KRS-1 (always), Chuck-D (always), Mr Lif, Brother Ali, Eyedea, Aesop Rock, Akrobatik, Mos Def, Canibus, MF Doom, Roots Manuva and C-Rayz Walz.
I've got a feeling I'm gonna be adding John Smith to that list once i hear his album (cheers D00m).

i haven't heard Roots Manuva- Awfully Deep yet

Me neither, but i'm gonna get it next month. He is by far the best Mc to come out of England.

-AC He "sold his arse" when he made SSLP. "My Name Is" is just as corny as any single he's released since then. Behind the shitty singles though, he has made some good music.

I think it's unfair to say he fell off after SSLP or even after MMLP. When he made those two albums, hip hop heads were saying "oh he's a good rhymer but I wish he'd talk about more serious shit." So then what happens? He makes The Eminem Show, most of which is personal and serious, and only has a couple token corny singles like he always does. So do you think people are happy? No, now they say "we don't want to here you ***** about your personal life, make another SSLP or MMLP!"

Seems like some people just don't know what they want.

wow really wow

Nah there are plenty more good rappers.

But it's true most people will eat up that shit about, Im rich ***** suck my dick. Look at my car.

You know the shit

but I like Eminem who raps about his personal experience, and i loved Mosh and loose yourself both very powerful.

I like tupac alot too. "My block" and "thugs cry".

So there are good orignal rappers out there just alot more dumb ass rappers.

ummm eminem and pac both at times fall into the "dumb ass rapper" list.

there are much better mc's out there.

there are still many better mc's out there.

It will be until MF Doom thinks up his most diabolical skem yet by making a "POTHOLDERZ" super duper ray gun that hypnotizes the world into liking good hip hop and makes mainstream hip hop artists explode into an endless supply of Kentucky Fried Chicken solving world hunger.dancingchicken

I hate ignorant goths who just assume rap is all chains, cars, women, fancy houses, clothes, and money. If rock is so amazing due to lyrics, why don't any of these punkasses get some lyrics, and listen to something like Eminem's 'Like Toy Soldiers', or maybe 'Mockingbird' or maybe, since this is so like their angry music, 'The Way I am'.

That's simply Eminem, Dr. Dre's 'The Message', and plenty of others.

I won't even bring up one of tupac's songs...what song he wrote ISN'T memorable?

dumb comment, know what youre talkin about before posting....it's funny because i used to be on the same mindset as you because i was ignorant to the genre outside of mtv shit but i listened to members here (specifically hh and mfdoom) and they enlightened me...thank god.....so open your mind a lil bit will ya.

Hmmmm favorite Rappers......

I like Mos Def for playing Ford Prefect (pretty good too)
I like Busta Rhymes for Kicking the Shit out of Michael Myers
I like Dr. Dre for...I don't know...I just think he'S funny....somehow...might be the name.......

That's aboot it....

Hmm I kind of like Puff Daddy for covering "Kashmire" and "Every Breath you take"..... although doing a pretty bad job at that.....
Coolio for using the Canon in D of Pachebel for "C U when U get there"
And Tupac for "Changes"...cause I liek that song...

Decent list. Couple of outkast rappers

In response to the 50 Cent thing, I don't know. I guess I'm just a sucker for commercial hip-hop.

Tupac aka Makaveli

pac's overrated. had a few great songs, but the rest was same thing over and over.

Fat Joe and Fitty Cent!!! YEAH! G-Unit!

Okay, sorry about that... I actually don't really like rap... But all I've heard is all the commercial/mainstream garbage...
