Rap Music

[TOG]

Okay, so I know next to nothing about the genre, but I have a very open mind when it comes to music and like a bit of everything. So naturally, I sort of want to download some rap songs to add more variety to my playlist.

Here's where you guys come in. Like I said, I know little about rap, so the songs to download will have to be all you guys. I'm not into the hip hop or more gentle stuff, the only stuff I have really heard is 90s gangster rap. That's what I like. So, I was looking for similar modern stuff along with what I may not have heard from the 90s. Go!

[MDK]

I would reccomend some Sage Francis, Atmosphere, Eyedea and Abilities, Aesop Rock, Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, Delinquent Habits, DJ Format, Gangstarr, Roots Manuva and Ugly Duckling.

You can download, legally I add, some mp3's of Sage Francis, Atmosphere and Eyedea and Abilities from www.epitaph.com

EDIT - Oops, I didnt notice that you wanted gangsta type rap, most of the stuff I listed isnt that. But check it out anyway :thumbsup:

If you like the "club" rap, the pump up stuff, go with Nelly- Heart of a Champion and Nelly- Na NaNa. The Game ft. 50 Cent- How We Do as well..

Try some Wu-Tang or MF Doom. "Shadowboxin" by GZA and Method Man is one of my favorite songs, try that.

Boyz N Da Hood & Goodie Mob are recomended.

[MalaCloudy Black]

NWA, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dre. Cypress Hill.

Particularly

NWA - Fuck Tha Police & Sa Prize (Pt 2) + Straight Outta Compton

Eazy - Boyz In Tha Hood, Eazy Duz It, I'd Rather Fuck You, Eazy-er Sed Than Dunn, Neighborhood Sniper

Ice Cube - Today Was a Good Day

Dre - Ain't Nothin' But A G Thang (w/ Snoop) + Dre Day (w/ Snoop?)

Cypress Hill - How Could I Just Kill A Man?

[TOG]

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I now mark for Tech N9ne and Cypress Hill. Couldn't find any of the recommended Cannibus songs.

If someone could recommend some specific Wutang songs, that'd be great. I downloaded a few, but wasn't sure what to look for.

[Lord Nibbler]

Canibus isn't really gangsta rap anyways. He's not to everyone's taste. Ditto MF Doom.

Wu-Tang

The M.G.M.

Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit

C.R.E.A.M.

Protect Ya Neck

Triumph

Da Mystery of Chessboxin'

I only really mentioned gangsta rap because it's what I had already heard to some degree, and enjoyed. It was just to give an idea of what I may or may not like.

[triplexpac]

I like T.I., maybe you will too.

[Lord Nibbler]

Yeah, if you like Tecca Nina then you might like Canibus.

Canibus

Lost @ "C"

Curriculum 101

2000 B.C.

I'll Bus' Em, You Punish 'Em (Canibus feat. Rakim)

Tibetan Black Magicians (Jedi Mind Tricks feat. Canibus)

I'd suggest you try with those, since 'Bus comes pretty hard on those.

Guys, he said he's not looking for just gangsta rap.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Get Big Daddy Kane - Warm It Up Kane too, it's an oldie but a definite goodie.

WARM IT UP KANE~

WARM IT UP KANE~

That should soooo be Kane's theme song. I would mark like a motherfucker.

[TOG]

Now requesting more recommendations from NWA and the various solo artists that branch from them.

[Boulder]

You've probably already heard it (especially if you used to watch ECW), but go for "Natural Born Killaz." That's my all-time favorite Rap song.

EDIT: I didn't see your disgruntled face, so I didn't know you were being sarcastic!

[TOG]

I have, and i'm not.

[MDK]

I actually want to sex you up for that list. Roots Manuva and Format > Pretty much everyone.
