Recommend me "Good" Rap/Hip Hop Artists. - General

This is currently my music folder after I reformatted. [IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/14ilydi.png[/IMG] All I have in it, hook it up bros. (If you don't know who the rappers are in my music folder, I'd check out the thread I made on them. They are really chill youtubers and good rappers.)

Why did you put the word "good" in scare quotes?

Theres a lot of baddies out there.

Tyler, the Creator and the rest of OFWGKTA. Eminem Jay-Z Tupac And I know some people that don't like them, but I do like Yelawolf and Mac Miller.

I'm kinda leaning toward assuming that by "good rap" you don't mean Rap That Is Good, but instead Rap That White People Who Don't Listen To Much Rap Would Like.

This is the kind of shit I mean by not "good" rap [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTZfKYXT9z4[/url]

So, no 8-year-olds. Got it. Why don't you start with this guy: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjsXo9l6I8[/media]

Also no Little Wayne shit. He's bad.

If you're going to make a thread begging people to recommend you artists from a given genre it might help not to pretend to be an authority on said genre.

Hey man don't cut out the 8 year olds. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOcVOg5_CKg[/media]

I highly recommend Lil B. One of the hottest rappers out there right now.

what other stuff do you like? i mean should I assume you know the obvious stuff like nas and wu tang and check out: kool keith souls of mischief siah and yeshua dapoED pete rock and cl smooth

I like basically all hip hop besides that mainstream shit. Yes I know Nas and the Wu Tang Clan. Uh, what I meant to say by putting that video of the eight year old; is no extremly stupid shit. There's a lot of faggots out there.

What you might find stupid and faggy, another person might find badass.

Why dont you try out BIG Big L Big Pun Kool G Rap Rakim Showbiz and AG Royce da 59 Big Daddy Kane Redman Heltah Skeltah Smif n Wessun Black Moon Boot Camp Cliq Jedi Mind Tricks Army of the Pharaohs RA the Rugged Man Brand Nubian Onyx Wu Tang The Pharcyde A Tribe called Quest

BIG is Notorious BIG right? Biggie Smalls? and I heard Hieroglyphics was good. I'll check out that list when I get home.

How about some of the old school? I mean like early-mid 1980s. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq-jANkqpQo[/media]

If you want more of the whole..."hip hop look at me I can rap but I'm not really a rapper" go with B.o.B. If you want something extremely confusing that you can hardly understand, Tech N9ne is for you.

Kool Savas

List of some great "old school" artists. Run DMC Boogie Down Productions EPMD The Pharcyde Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five Eric B. & Rakim The Fugees J Dilla Public Enemy Del tha Funkee Homosapien Sugarhill Gang De la Soul Beastie Boys Pete Rock & CL Smooth Biz Markie The Fat Boys Main Source Jurassic 5 A Tribe Called Quest The Roots Digable Planets Nice and Smooth Geto Boys Blahzay Blahzay Kurtis Blow Big Daddy Kane KRS One These will get you rockin' in a b-boy stance.

N.W.A. are pretty awesome too.

Some of Eminiems older stuff is pretty good. OFWGKTA is okay, nothing too bad but they're not as good as a lot of people say. Edit: If you're looking for something avante-garde try Death Grips, although some people do consider it a bit band-wagoney and it's hardly like hip-hop at all.

Anything that J Dilla has produced or made the beat for is basically instant hip hop gold. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B0Oens2HUo[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpiYRIcjAxQ[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSrcOTNojfE[/media]

Honestly, I think that Digable Planets are WAY too underrated. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y74IBgLQF4Q[/media]

They're really good. Also; I don't know all the classics. I mainly know them from listening to OF. I memorized all eminems older shit though. Thanks for all the videos, I was at school all day. I'll get to watching soon. ^_^

[QUOTE=vagrant;33588940] Black Sky Blue Death,[/QUOTE] Make sure you get their collabs if you look for BSBD. Holocaust and Hell Razahs BSBD CDs are godlike. Otherwise you'll get nothing but instrumentals. Also, its Blue Sky Black Death.
