thanks for showing me ASAP Rocky, stalley, Cool Calm Pete, among others. This thread is hip hop gold. I love the chill hop mixed with soul and jazz and you guys seem to have similar tastes. Just saying thanks for the enlightenment.
I want Kid Cudi to make a collab album with Incubus, it would revive his career... if only he could actually sing lol

Noooooooooooooo
I still can't stop listening to Cole world: Sideline Story.. I don't know if it's just me, but the album truly is a classic like he said. I'll probably still be listening to this album even a few years later. It just has that sound to it..

Are there any hip-hop/rap albums that don't use the word "nigga" and have intelligent lyrics?
[QUOTE=DeathFang;33116121]Are there any hip-hop/rap albums that don't use the word "nigga" and have intelligent lyrics?[/QUOTE]
Nope, not a one
It was a serious question. I'm asking for suggestions. If your answer is serious, then I am disappointed.

[editline]4th November 2011[/editline]

[editline]4th November 2011[/editline]

[QUOTE=DeathFang;33116121]Are there any hip-hop/rap albums that don't use the word "nigga" and have intelligent lyrics?[/QUOTE]
Hip-Hop acts that to my knowledge have never said "nigga":
Aesop Rock
Afroman
Atmosphere
B. Dolan
Brother Ali
Classified
Cunninlynguists (I think?)
Cypress Hill don't say it that much
Dan Le Sac VS Scroobius Pip
Del the Funky Homosapien
Devin the Dude (pretty sure he doesn't say it much)
Eminem of course
Eyedea
Gang Starr don't say it much
The Grouch
Hail Mary Mallon
Living Legends
Mac Lethal
Murs
Non-Prophets
Sage Francis
Sole
Blueprint (I think he's called Musab now)
There's plenty more. Just look around a bit. I'm not really a fan of brag-rap either. Unless it's a battle. That's when it makes sense.

If "don't say nigga" is one of your criteria for rap to listen to than I feel like you're not going to be able to appreciate intelligent lyrics anyway

Nah, I'm pretty sure you aren't intelligent if you use a retarded step-child's form of a racial slur, then expect it be taken in a friendly way. It's pretty annoying honestly.

nigga and nigger are two different things, if you're going to listen to hip-hop that's something you need to understand pretty quickly. People like Mos Def, proponents of black empowerment use the word nigga. It's an informal sign of endearment, like brother. That man isn't my brother but I'm going to call him it anyway. But then again considering your first post in this thread you don't really seem that open to hip-hop anyway, especially if you genuinely thought there's no hip-hop that doesn't use the word nigga. I mean Jesus Christ do you realise how many white MCs there are? They don't get to use Nigga when they rap, so that's a whole demographic which are almost entirely going to be devoid of it.

They are two different things, yes, and I understand how it is used, but how stupid could you be to derive your word for friendship from a racial slur used to subjugate and make others feel inferior? If I genuinely thought it didn't exist, why would I ask? Yeah, and they're skin color doesn't change how incredibly stupid it is.

if you adapt a phrase used against you to be used by you, it loses its power. That's the idea behind it

That would make more sense, but then why still be offended by people who call you the actual word?
[QUOTE=DeathFang;33143221]That would make more sense, but then why still be offended by people who call you the actual word?[/QUOTE]
because it's still offensive? People don't say it as much anymore but when people say it they're still trying to incite racial hatred and are usually verbally and physically aggressive

If it is still offensive I don't think the word has lost much of its power.

I apologize that racial equality is a long-term and complicated concept that won't be cured in the course of 20 odd years
