TooFresh Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 There are all different kinds of Hip-Hop. But originality, being yourself, and sharing your life with others thru' music is what makes real Hip-Hop 2 me. JJ+FP LL Cool J Queen Latifah A Tribe Called Quest MC Lyte De La Soul Leaders Of The New School / Busta Rhymes Salt-N-Pepa Run-DMC Kid 'N Play Yo Yo Ice Cube Arrested Development Ahmad Skee-Lo Heavy D + The Boyz EPMD Eric B + Rakim MC Hammer Sugarhill Gang The Roots Lifesavas Digable Planets Us3 Gang Starr Grandmaster Flash + The Furious Five Kool Moe Dee Whodini Das EFX Timbaland + Magoo Treacherous 3 Beastie Boys Digital Underground 2Pac Brand Nubian Talib Kweli Naughty By Nature Warren G ← :scared07: what a list!!!

bigted Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) I'd mentioned Slick Rick in my 1st post but I thought this was about rappers out now, well since he's making guest appearances on the Missy Elliot and Az albums and doing shows, he's technically still active, btw speaking of Gangstarr did anyone check out that new Guru album? I didn't get to check it out yet but I don't know why him and Premiere are beefin', I heard Pete Rock and CL Smooth are gonna be working on a comeback too, another legendary DJ-MC duo.

bigted Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I haven't really been checkin' the underground scene much lately, I've been mostly listening to my CDs but I find out about a lot of dope mcs from singing up to the undergroundhiphop.com mailing list, they tell you what new songs and albums are coming out that I wouldn't know from TV or radio and you could download tracks for on that site too y'all should check it out for some real hip-hop, nuff props to Tim for getting me into Hieroglyphics, they really are dope! :jazzy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I'm aware i missed quite a few people. I like alot of others that u have mentioned. A few of them made me cringe tho' when i saw them mentioned in a post that's supposed 2 be about real Hip-Hop...not just Rap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I know now it's a disgrace that people who only listen to commercial rap talk like Biggie, Eminem, Kanye West, and Jay-Z are the greatest lyricists on the planet, there's so many more mcs that deserve more due than them, Diamond D's probably the greatest producer to ever spit on the mic, I heard Paris is pretty damn good too since a lot of Public Enemy fans dig his style, they constantly talk about him on the Enemy Board, Masta Ace been out for over 15 years too puttin' out quality effort, Kool G Rap never gets his due either, Jay-Z and Biggie ran with his style with a lil' less skills and they get ranked ahead of him all the time, it goes on and on how many great mcs there are that get slept on that represent the art of hip-hop, but the MTV format has confused a lot of people since they don't focus on more talented mcs, in fact most of what they play I wouldn't even call real hip-hop!
