Looking for Rap
2004-12-17, 5:46 PM #1
Lately I've been getting more into rap, I was wondering if anyone had some good suggestions? A couple of artists I've heard and I like are The Roots and Beasty Boys.

Public Enemy, N.W.A. ... :rolleyes:

The Streets
Deltron 3030/Del the Funky Homosapien
Jurassic 5
Outkast

They'd probably suit your tastes.

Run DMC is worth looking into as well.

Nothing wrong with them. They're pioneers in the rap world.

Or any of these artists more rock oriented? Say like, RATM?

Run DMC can be rock-oriented sorta. Also, Fine Arts Militia does some rocky stuff.

Clawfinger, somewhat.


And gah, I can't stand The Streets. It doesn't really have a rythm to it anymore, it's almost regular talking. :/

Cypress Hill, Beatie Boys.

More old-school: Wu-Tang Clan, 2Pac, IAM.

The Seed 2.0 is one I really like (I have the whole thing on my computer, off the Collateral soundtrack). Is there anything that sounds like that song? (I mean the first singer, not the second.)

EDIT: To listen to The Seed 2.0 you actually have to click the link to Break You Off.

I'm a pretty big fan of Atmosphere. Here is one of their songs. You have to click the link instead of doing a save target as, I think.

Nas and Common are good, especially their older stuff.

I've really been getting into Jay-Z's new album lately. I enjoy the Streets, the Beastie Boys, and old school stuff like Public Enemy too.

But it's not rock-oriented, which is what tofu asked for. :/
