aaronuconn Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 I still listen occansionally to Sugar Hill Gang best song, "Rappers Delight". Full Version is awesome. "My Adidas" by Run DMC is a great song. Also is song with Aerosmith, "Walk This Way" was sweet. Same with "It's Tricky". NWA's "Natural born Killaz is a good song, same with "Straight out of Compton". Public Enemy's "Rebel Without a Pause" and "Welcome to the Terrordome" are obvious Hits.

Kriegz Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Ignore people who hear a few songs from G-Unit or Young Jeezy and think that that is rap. They're ignorant and will always exist cause they'll never actualy check out what they're talking about so ignore 'em. Some great albums 2Pac - 2Pacalypse Now, All Eyez On Me, R U Still Down? A Tribe Called Quest - EVERY album, The Love Movement, The Low End Theory, Midnight Marauders, People's Instinctive Travels... Aesop Rock - Labor Days (abstract but some great lyrical talent) Afrika Bambaataa - Looking For The Perfect Beat Big L - The Big Picture Big Pun - Capital Punishment Buckshot & 9th Wonder - Chemistry Canibus - Hip Hop For $ale Common - ALL, Like Water For Chocolate, Be, Can I Borrow A Dollar?, One Day It'll All Make Sense, Ressurection Dr. Dre - The Chronic and any old production stuff * After D I havn't downloaded much yet other than the albums I own Gnarls Barkley - St. Elswhere Ice Cube - Most everything Jay-Z - Most anything Kanye West - The College Dropout (which I think will be classic someday), Late Registration Murs - Murray's Revenge Nas - Illmatic, Street Disciple, any of the old stuff OutKast - Speakerboxx, ATLiens Rick Ross - Port Of Miami (not even out yet) Royce Da 5'9" - Rock City & Death Is Certain Scarface - The Untouchable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanzarelli Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 In my life I've owned 5 rap albums Bone Thugs N Harmony - E. 1999 Coolio - The one with Gangsta's Paradise on it Master P - Ghetto Dope Notorious BIG - Life After Death Weerd Science - Friends and Nervous Breakdowns So I guess you can add any of them to anyone's list as "the greatest" if you want to.

erf305 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Vanilla Ice is a loser. He can't rap. Obviousley Emienm is the greatest white rapper, just don't even talk any more. Eminem is a great rapper period. It has nothing to do with him being white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's decent. Wasn't he jailed last year for being a paedophile or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Eminem is a great rapper period. It has nothing to do with him being white. That is very true, I was just saying he IS the gretest White Rapper, like a lot better than vanilla ice. Everyone should listen to his song with Dr. Dre called... The Showdown. It is very awesome.

aaronuconn Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Nelly's Country Grammer album was also a very good one, one that should not be under valued. It would be in my top 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should listen to his song with Dr. Dre called... The Showdown. It is very awesome. If you go by albums sold he is the greatest. White rappers with more talent than Eminem, off the top of my head right now.. Aesop Rock 7L & Esoteric There are alot of rappers that have more talent if you take it to an acapella, but Eminem is the most popular because of good advertising techniques so he can get on tracks with more skilled producers. Aesop Rock has a much better flow but doesn't get on alot of great producers cause of a small label. 3rd Bass might even be better than Eminem. Be honest, part of why you like Eminem is because of the sound effects after every line. He's like the white Young Jeezy. He has a few good tracks but most of the reason he is popular is because the **** is so wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 I like Eminem becuase of the songs like "Till I Collapse". Not for the songs like "The Real Slim Shady". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
