OT Top Rapper Thread

i love it when cool shit you like, likes other cool shit you like.

speaking of - Czarface (7L , Esoteric, Rebel INS) are doing a complete FULL album with MF DOOM.... "Czarface meets Metal Face" *lil girl excited scream*

out at the end of march, already pre-ordered the vinyl release pack AND they are even making CASSETTES... hah!

I'll have to check that out. I've never heard Czarface but I'm a huge DOOM fan. I've got a couple volumes of Special Herbs on vinyl. Those are his instrumentals he releases under the moniker 'Metal Fingers'. He's every bit as good of a producer as he is a rapper.

Rasta bumped it. It was from July last year.

 

[ripcityboy]

I've bumped Talib Kwali onto my listening station for the couple of months. Can't get enough of his song, "Get By." It's absolutely one of the best songs, lyrically, I've ever heard.

I'm 52 and have no idea who is or isn't a good rap artist, but my favorites would be

Eminem
Notorious BIG
Andre 3000
Snoop Dogg
Biz Markie

I of course love RUN DMC as well.

That's a pretty good list! I don't like Em, but I can't deny his ability to rap.

Talib Kwali

It's interesting, when you read interviews with rappers who their favorite rappers are almost all of them mention Talib Kwali. That's why I first started listening to him, Jay Z was just raving about him an interview he gave about the White Album.

Always loved this song with him and Mary J.

Life is a beautiful struggle
People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle
Some people usin' the noodle, some people usin' the muscle
Some people put it all together, make it fit like a puzzle
Come on, say it now
Life is a beautiful struggle

Was bumping this.... 10 years ago (though I agree it is awesome).

My friends call me "Mr. Classic Rock." Something I do not apologize for with my hipper friends. I am not suprised that I am behind the times when it comes to hip hop. Most of my favorite artists are dead blues guitarists anyway.

As an MC, all I can say is.... Mr. Wahlberg is a good actor but he isn't THAT good.

I’m a fan of Wahlberg the actor because he doesn’t seem to take things overly serious......but I was joking about missing his rapper act. By the time I realized it wasn’t a Spinal Tap like take off, he had moved on to greener pastures. Thankfully.......
