Who's your fav rappers?


Guest BadassBengal

Recommended Posts

Here are some of mine, in no particular order...

Mos def
Talib kweli
Kanye, not rapping but producing, if he can make common look that good then he gets all of my support
Bone thugs (its so sad that something good actually came outta “c-town”)
Snoop
Dre (+ben folds... just click on the sig) -_-
Pac
Biggie
Jay z
Too short
Most luda
Most eminem
Some 50
Some game
Some banks
Some t.i.
2 songs from flip
1 old song from twista
1 song from bubba sparxx, sad, isn’t it
cam'ron sucks, but i still like some of his music
Im sure i could think of more but these are just the ones that came to mind first


Badass: explain why u think nas is better than em, I know em is overrated but c’mon, nas had potential to go big time and failed (just like jada), if u need any more evidence just look local at the bravehearts, he had the opportunity to go big and take them along with him, did he? Well no, its cuz he is overrated, and looked up to by people who choose to listen to artists that are underground rather than talented, just because there are many talented artists that are undiscovered does not mean that everyone in that genre is as equally talented. most of the people u list are decent to average lyrically, but like its already been said, they should stick to freestyle and quit tryin to make songs, the good ones will get there chance to blow up

you sound like u need to go listen to some indie, or maybe some emo... <_<

You people are arguing over the subjective.

That is too funny.

Why is Nas better than Em? Ever listen to Illmatic or Stillmatic? I mean, I just don't see what's so appealing about Eminem. He raps about some major stupid shit most of the times, and his voice is annoyin as fuck.

And Nas isn't bigtime? Yea... he pretty much is. Just not as big time as the rest of those "rappers". He's just not in it for the same reasons as the others. As most of the people I listed, Nas as actually said that he's not in the rap game for the money, but to get his music out there(yea it sounds like complete bullshit, but who cares). He doesn't have to go out there and start beefs like 50 Cent and the rest of them faggots to get his money out there, cause his music is already awesome. And I never said that all the underground/undiscovered artists are better than the mainstream ones. I just said that the ones that I mentioned are, IMO, better than most of the trash on MTV and BET. I can't see how anyone can have any sort of interest in people like 50 Cent and Ja Rule. All they talk about is fucking girls, getting "mo money, mo money", and shooting people. Why the fuck would you want to listen to music about SHOOTING PEOPLE? Why the hell would you want to hear some ugly bastard brag about havin so much money and cars and shit? Where's the fucking appeal in that???

And sayin that Nas is overrated is just dumb, bro.

Sorry that I can't appreciate the majority of the mainstream MTV fed bullshit out there. Us black people are having a hard enough time stayin out of trouble without kids watchin BET and seein 50 Cent talk about shootin people and makin all sorts of money n shit. Just sets up the next generation to be complete fuckups as well.

And most of the people I listed are decent to average lyrically? And this is coming from someone who listens to Lloyd Banks, the Game, and T.I.? Shiiiiiiiit. Go listen to the people I listed first, and THEN form an opinion on em.

Tryin to argue with me on this subject is kinda stupid. I've listened to most about every rapper under the sun, bro.

apparently you cant read :blink:

first of all this thread is about “who is [u]your favorite[/u] rappers,” which would be my opinion, yes young one, this is a thread about opinion, if u want to criticize my choices then go ahead and do so because u have the right, but do yourself a favor and back it up, dont just say that i listen to so-and-so and then say shiiiiiiiit, why what a clever way to criticize, just saying shit instead of actually telling me why... :blink:

game is gay
banks is soft
ti has a "popular" sound as well

but this does not take anything away from the fact that i said i like [u]some[/u] of their music, im sure you like some mainstream music and if u dont then your little 15 year old mind has been brainwashed much further than i had originally believed. i can at least come out and say that i like some shit while u wont admit to anything, did i say i like all their shit? no, did i say i like them as a person? no, did i say that they are the most talented? hell no, but i did say that i like [u]some[/u] of their songs

give some backing to your claims, why does so-and-so suck? all i hear is that you dont like their content, fine, you can not like them for that, but u cant dispute the talent of some of those individuals despite hating their content

as for nas and em...
dont tell me that nas isnt in it for the money, cuz if that is true then i need to go and bitch slap him because 99.9% of everyone in this world is in it for the money whether or not they are willing to admit that or not, while ill admit that he probably does love his job and the music he produces he certainly would not be performing as much as he does without the cash-flow

as for your opinion on nas, you think he is better than em, fine, whatever, u can think that, but u show no proof, u say he is annoying and talks about stuff u dont care for, ok ill agree with u, in some of his songs his voice is terrible and most of the time his lyrics are obscene, but what else is new, thats why he sells, but that in no way, shape, or form diminishes the fact that he is as talented as nas

so u like nas better than em, good for u, i personally like em better, and think he is more talented despite the fact that he raps about shit that u dont care for, deal with it, and grow up


and wtf does this have to do with anything?

the lost boyz
the roots ( notice how know one ever starts beef with the roots, cause black thought would eat any rapper alive)
Del the funky homosepian (SP) ( you got to check him out)
The SBC Crew (Local group)
snoop
neptunes
dre
ice cube
pharcyde

There are more, but I don't have the time to think about them all at the moment...

[quote name='BadassBengal' date='Apr 7 2005, 10:26 PM']EDIT 2: And the backpacker comments are just goddamned stupid. I listen to some mainstream rap. I like some Jay-Z, Nas, and Jadakiss. It's just the rest of the bullshit  I don't like, as I've already mentioned in this post. Who gives a fuck how many times 50 Cent got shot or how much money he has in his god damned piggy bank? Nelly and Chingy can kiss my ass, cuz I don't really give a damn about their countless songs about pickin up big assed chicks up in St. Louis. Tryin to bash me for actually listening to some real shit instead of that hip-pop garbage. Fuckin hilarious.
[right][post="72839"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote]

wait a minute... Jada??? "I got 100 guns 100 clips nigga i'm from new york"... isint that the same as what you said about 50? (the guns and cars and money and all that shit) I don't care if that was ja's song... he was on it... and hell when it comes down to it...any shit you hear on the RADIO is going to have the same lyrical content... it's whats marketable right now... i aint sayin it's good, what i'm sayin is... bitching about that is just like beating a dead horse... nothing is going to change untill someone or something comes out so powerful it changes the music world... Example KoRn in 94. people say they have fallen off, but who made adidas rock??? korn. something like that has to happen not saying metal, or rock, just stating something has to happen...

in the words of scooter ward ... KILL THE FUCKING MUSIC INDUSTRY

OH AND IMO Nelly isint an artist he is a buisness man... look at all the shit he owns, or has a claim in... respectable if you ask me... man has is head on sraight... make money money, make money money money!

And is this firned( [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3.gif[/img] ) of yours the all-knowing rap god or something? If he's not..... then his opinion doesn't really mean much to me, cuz I still don't really like Eminem..... at all. And him being black doesn't mean much to me either (I'm black too).

Seriously though, if you don't check out anybody else on that list I posted, I think everyone should check out Immortal Technique. By far my favorite rapper out there today.
Songs to check out- You Never Know, Dance with the Devil, Industrial Revolution, Internally Bleeding, and The Cause of Death. :D
