Your favorite rapper.

[skysdad]

Ok I don't know a lot about rappers but in one of our threads there is a pic of Coach K and a rapper I've been informed is Two Chains. Let's have a little fun and maybe even some of us old farts can be educated or enlightened. Just post your favorite rapper and a video of your favorite rap song. My goes back a while and some of you may not be familiar with him.

I'm not real big into rap but I do like some. I liked a lot of the older stuff like sugar hill gang, kool moe Dee, not really rap, but I liked the gap band. LL cool J, and Nelly, Run DMC, salt n peps. There's more but I won't try to name them all. Don't care much for the newer stuff

KRS One
Tupac
Gangstarr
Eminem

I think the correct term these days is hip-hop....am I correct on that?

I don't listen to any of it today. In the 90's I listened to Dr. Dre, some Snoop, Warren G and some Paperboy ('Ditty' is one of my favorite songs of all-time).

These days I'm primarily a talk radio enthusiast and country music guy....but that's also because it's the business I'm in on a daily basis.

J. Cole speaks to me like no other rapper really has. Probably because we both have white mothers, and had similar experiences in our youth. I hear someone constantly torn between his obvious talent and lingering self doubt.

The first song was probably one of mylaeast favorite on the mixtape... until I started really hearing the lyrics. The second is just a great track.

Hip hip refers to the elements of the culture, I.e., rapping, b boying, DJ'ing, graffitti...as a whole

What about the great white rapper, Enima M, I mean Eminem?

Tupac
Logic
Andy Mineo
Mac Miller
Tedashii

I could go on and on lol (Eric Sermon, Eric B, Wu, Da Brat, MC Lyte....)

Eminem used to be in there but he's gotten too political only because he's becoming a has been. No, I'm not a Republican, and while artists should be outspoken on views, he picked a bad time (and bad lyrics) to try and gain attention.

First rap CD I ever bought was Warren G Regulators. Listened to the whole thing each day after school in 6th grade. Then followed it up with The Offspring Smash while playing video games.

I’d have to say my favorite was old school OutKast. I can’t pick between Atliens or Aquemini album wise, but Rosa Parks is probably the most memorable song. The song Atliens a close second. Also liked Tupac a lot.

I switched to old school rock in latter HS years and college. A lot of Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Eagles, et al.

Crossroads( the remix) the original was ok but the remix was hot. The first of the month was good too.
Listen to mainly old school rap and country with southern rock now. New rapper just don’t have that feel to it.
