Hip Hop Yo

😛

Me too,
Teh first hip-hop I really liked was Immortal Technique.
Hey what can I say, im into the rebel, socialist thing.

haha listen to Jedi Mind Tricks ......now thats interesting hip hop or tech nine

not the best hip hop^ but JMT and Tech N9ne are alright. JMT's album Violent By Design was their best.

i love Public Enemy- Yo! Bum Rush The Show

its not their best album, but its still great.

Technique was one of my first underground emcees too. I think the actual first underground rapper I liked was Eyedea though. I'm fairly new to the underground stuff... I only liked it for a short while before I came on this site. For a while I was into the better mainstream hip hop. Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Kanye West(production mostly), Old Mobb Deep, old Slick Rick, Wu Tang, Nas, Big L, Older Eminem, shit like that. But once I heard Dance with the Devil I started looking for any underground shit I could find.

first time i heard MF Doom- Doomsday, i had to search for more.

the mc i listened to alot was Big L. non-stop 😂

i knew most of his verses 😛

r.i.p

its old...very old.

The name sounds familiar but I haven't heard it. Their old albums are impossible to find for me. I keep looking at best buy but they only have like a greatest hits and a new one. I'm scared to buy an album that I haven't heard any of the songs on. But as soon as I find fear of a black planet or it takes a nation of millions I'm buying that shit.

Immortal Technique- Revolutionary Vol. 1. Yep, found it on the internet.

I started out listening to mainstream hip hop because pretty much all of the school I went to listened to it, although rock was still what I listened to most. As I got older I started listening to underground hip hop from aol radio and this local sports show that played underground hip hop, although I didn't know any specific artists. Then I found this site and Hock recommended Immortal Technique to me, I tried Rev 2 out and loved it and I've been hooked on underground hip hop ever since.

I still can't believe that I once liked Ludacris. 😘

They just played one of MF Doom's beats on that And 1 basketball show. 🤘droolio

First Hip Hop I liked was Public Enemy.

Was it when they were new? If so then damn... you been liking hip hop since before I knew what music was (besides the corny little songs they played on disney movies).

I first heard Public Enemy, consciously, in 92-early 93. My brother would play their stuff all the time and I didn't understand the lyrics then but I loved the music.

Ha.. you think that's bad, I own TWO trick daddy cd's. Ludacris isn't all that bad for a mainstream southern rapper. He aint anything special in the lyrics department but he's entertaining.

Ouch 😖

I will admit that Ludacris skits are pretty funny and a couple of his songs have gotten a laugh out of me.

I actually started off listening to really good old school hip hop like P.E., Ice T, BPD, NWA, EPMD, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, Paris and loads more in the late 80's early 90's. Mainly because i heard about this wicked underground radio station in London that played "hardcore hip hop" as it was called in those days. I used to tune in every friday night and write down the tracks i liked and hunt them down all over London on viynl of course. My sad stage in hip hop came much later when i couldnt be bothered to find the good stuff and just settled for the shite thats on the radio. Luckily i found this forum and now im back on the righteous path. Its all about taking the time and effort to find the good music and not just excepting what you see and hear on MTV.

The first hip Hop i listened to was 2pac. A real gangsta, lrycists and inovator. My fax songs from him was Brenda got a baby, hey mama and the remix he did with Akon. The believe it was Ghetto remix. Oh and did ya see Game's video ''How we do''. That joint is tight
