[QUOTE=TH89;30546815]My rap guide is actually better than his rap section. He's a backpacker honkey nerd who doesn't know shit about rap.[/QUOTE] Well it is an electronic music guide. I don't think it's nearly as good as yours, I just think it's cool to play around with.
[QUOTE=LSK;30554451]No mention of N.W.A.? Are you kidding me? Ice Cube's the man. And Sir Mix-a-Lot was pretty big in the late 80's/early 90's.[/QUOTE] Mix a lot had one really popular song, and it was a joke song. And as you can see there's a song by Ice Cube AND Dr. Dre.
[QUOTE=Soulbrother;30555464]Mix a lot had one really popular song, and it was a joke song. And as you can see there's a song by Ice Cube AND Dr. Dre.[/QUOTE] Yeah Sir Mix-a-Lot only had a few goods hits, I was just mentioning him myself, but Dr. Dre and Ice Cube got their careers rolling because of that group. (I edited out my other response because I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not, my apologies if you weren't and I just took it the wrong way, it's 1 in the morning and I'm grumpy.)
Everyday I sadly contemplate how big The Game could have been if he had won the feud.
[QUOTE=mzathemind;30553604]I admit to liking Wiz Khalifa but fuck he needs new topics.[/QUOTE] I know it's his trademark or whatever but his laugh annoys me so much.

[QUOTE=dvsilverwing;30552155]You forgot Mobb Deep under NY Hardcore, and I believe they have a pretty special spot for themselves reserved there, as well as under the East Coast section.

While most people refer to Biggie as the East Coasts counterpart to Pac, I think Pac and Mobb Deep were much more in a comparable class.[/QUOTE] I put Nas, he's basically Mobb Deep but better.

T.I. is best rapper
[QUOTE=TehWhale;30571237]T.I. is best rapper[/QUOTE] I disagree, Soulja Boy is better.
I like TI
[QUOTE=imaguy;30600227]I like TI[/QUOTE] he is ok, but he is by no way the best rapper
[QUOTE=imaguy;30600227]I like TI[/QUOTE] I have to admit, when this was released I loved it. :smugdog: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxHd3tuovgI[/media]
[QUOTE=AK'z;30608765]I have to admit, when this was released I loved it. :smugdog: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxHd3tuovgI[/media][/QUOTE] Yeah but then he went all sample crazy.
I haven't really paid attention. I haven't listened to many new mainstream rappers to be honest.

Only T.I. I liked was Urban Legend T.I.

I demand an update with OF. I demand my Earl Sweatshirt.
[QUOTE=BldrGyMnGy;30636804]I demand an update with OF. I demand my Earl Sweatshirt.[/QUOTE] They haven't made such a big impact yet.
Waaaaaaaaa ): Also, white girl mob.
[QUOTE=MachiniOs;30612078]Yeah but then he went all sample crazy.[/QUOTE] What is wrong with sampling? [editline]22nd June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=imaguy;30600227]I like TI[/QUOTE] He's the artist that got me into rap.
[QUOTE=Funcoot;30637621]What is wrong with samples?[/QUOTE] Nothing when used right a la Lil B [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVDYmcgc2dw[/media] I just felt that T.I's songs were too dependent on samples.

You have to admit, that the way some of these people chop and slice samples, is amazing and is an art in its own right. But I understand and respect your opinion.
