[QUOTE=MachiniOs;30637797]It is an art but it also can take away some individuality from the track.[/QUOTE] Agreed. At the end of the day, it all depends on the user behind the music. What are your opinions on stuff like this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQSD3rCPp1E[/media]

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQSD3rCPp1E[/media][/QUOTE] I've always liked turntabalism and stuff like that. Cut Chemist's solo work pretty much got me into Hip-Hop as a genre.
Outkast should be in op under southern category. Also fits in conscious, but they're the kings of the south. Dungeon family and Cee-lo too. MF DOOM for backpack, and Bone Thugs N Harmony should be in there somewhere, not quite sure where though. Fugees (especially Wyclef and Lauryn Hill) are important to include somewhere in there too.
[QUOTE=mossboss;30649791]Cee-lo too. Lauryn Hill are important to include somewhere in there too.[/QUOTE] You realise they are both soul artists?

I like Outkast and Mobb Deep and a ton of other artists people have mentioned in this thread, but if I went back and added an artist every time somebody told me to the thread would become way too huge.
Yeah, hip hop has developed in a LOT of directions over the years. You could go into endless influences and end up posting every genre of music :v:
You should put a horrorcore section in there somewhere.

being that three 6 mafia is from tennessee, no. [editline]23rd June 2011[/editline] in other news, I'm not entirely sure what to think of the 58's. They strike me as...generic. Anyone heard them?

[QUOTE=TH89;30649915]This isn't a collection of all notable rap artists ever...but if I went back and added an artist every time somebody told me to the thread would become way too huge.[/QUOTE] I understand, but if this is History of Rap then Outkast and Bone Thugs should definitely be in there. Outkast for being the perfect example of southern hip hop and being the most successful at it (essentially putting the south in the game), and Bone Thugs for being from Cleveland, doing collabs with Biggie, Tupac, and Eazy E, and even gaining mainstream success with Grammys and collabs with Phil Collins and Mariah Carey. Both groups are really important pieces of history. They're both perfect examples of their style. Also I was talking about Cee-lo from Dungeon Family and Lauryn Hill from Fugees. When he was funk hip-hop(like most southern rappers at the time) and she was NY hip-hop.
I hate Bone Thugs though
