Anyone in to Hip-Hop?

Oh I see. IMO T-Pain cannot be called a rapper and neither can Kanye. It seems to me like Kanye has his own genre goin on. Eminem has always been a favorite of mine. Besides him I like Big L, Biggie, Big Pun, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks including Jus Allah, Army of the Pharoahs (Celph Titled is probably the illest), Nas, Tupac, and the list continues. As for Battle emcees I like MC Supernatural, MC Juice, Eyedea, Illmaculate, Thesauras, Iron Solomon, NoCanDo, and the list continues. Not into mainstream Hip-Hop.
 
It's crazy how I don't know most of the ones you listed DX, but like you said, you don't like most mainstream hip-hop, and your list shows it. Mainstreams fails these days.
 
I'm sure You've heard of them you just don't know their names like MC supernatural is the world record holder for the longest freestyle ever which he clocked out at over 9 HOURS!! Other guys like big pun, big l, biggie and nas are well known as well. I wouldn't expect anyone here to know the rest if your not into the underground scene. I have a lot more favorites just don't want to list them.
 
Ya I am into hip hop and rap

Mostly stick to the popular guys like T-pain, T.I., Akon, Kanye, Luda, etc

Nice taste!
Mainstream sucks :P

My favs are: Nas, 2Pac, Masta Ace, Common, Little Brother, Jedi Mind Tricks, Big L, A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, Talib Kweli, MF Doom, Afu Ra, Big Pun, The Notorious BIG, Brand Nubian, L'Roneous (credits to F.P. for that), Cypress Hill, Das EFX, Dead Prez, DJ Jazzy Jeff stuff, Dr. Octagon, Ed OG, Foreign Exchange, Immortal Technique, Jean Grae, ... (just from A - J except for my absolute favourites with which I started)


But, the style of some artists change over the years: my favourite CDs are:


Illmatic - Nas
A Long Hot Summer - Masta Ace
The Minstrel Show - Little Brother
Like Water For Chocolate - Common
Black Star - Talib Kweli & Mos Def

and stuff like that

gotta listen to that when I find time


And I love intelligent and good German rap, like
Eins Zwo/Dendemann, Curse, Nico Suave, F.R., Casper, Samy Deluxe (not all of his stuff), ...

+ Rap in Swiss dialect --> TAZ, Greis, Sektion Kuchikäschtli, (Gimma, Breitbild), ...

And there is a German rap group from Munich called Square One :P


Kai also likes rap.

Wow thats a respectable list right there. How do you feel about Common's new album. I got it a while back, listened to it once and thought it was horrible. I really didn't think Common would put out a wack album. I was really dissapointed. His new style is more techno-ish. Whats with this new techno movement within hip-hop. Have you heard Ghostface's techno rap? Its soo bad. KRS-One's rock and roll/rap wasn't that great either. Hip-Hop mash ups aren't really that great IMO.


Yeah I listen to a little bit of foreign rap too. I've listened to Japanese, German, Korean, Reageton, Panjabi, Grime, and a whole bunch of other languages I can't recognize. Foreign Mainstream is sometimes far superior to American Mainstream.

My favorite albums of all times would be:
1. Violent by design (absolute favorite of all time)
Illmatic
Lifestyle of the poor and dangerouse (Spelling is wrong)
Revolutionary Vol.1 & 2
capital punishment
lets get free
the marshal mathers lp
blackstar
I have more just don't want to name all of them.

Oooooo. So there are people in this world that like REAL hip-hop? Well, there are even less people in the 'real world' that understand what real hip-hop is. I never cared for Big L. Biggie was cool. Never heard much Big Pun. Immortal Technique is my favorite rapper. JMT is cool. Jus Allah is weird. Army of Pharaohs? Nas is awesome. Tupac is overrated. MC Juice> MC Supernatural, especially when it comes to tracks. Eyedea is hillarious and funny. Never heard the rest besides Iron Solomon. I too am not into mainstream rap.
 
Also... Blackstar is good, Eminem (only his very first albums, including Infinite) Wutang and all their affiliates, Mr. Lif and Masta Ace
