Where's The Anger And Passion?

[I Don't Mind]

I'm really in the mood to listen to angry, hate, aggressive rap music, something along the lines of DMX or something like that, but I can't think of any modern rap music that fits the bill. It's like come the turn of the century everyone would rather sing about parties, girls and who's cooler than who, rather than "fuck you I'll kick your ass". Any suggestions on modern day rap that fits this bill? Thinking in the last five years or so.

Clipse gets pretty mad at points on Hell Hath No Fury. That's my best bet for pissed off rap.

Underground is the place to go. Particularly in New York. Or idiots like the Dipset crew, even though they suck.

Jedi Mind Tricks. I think they fit the description of 'angry' rap quite well.

[Lowerdeck]

Oh, I forgot D-Block. Jadakiss, Styles P, Sheek Louch, J-Hood.

[Bushmeister]

If you haven't yet, then you owe it to yourself to get your hands on some Corporate Avenger. Their style fluctuates quite a bit in the span of their few albums, but "Freedom Is A State Of Mind" is as rap as it comes and also simply some of the angriest music I have ever heard.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Murs and Atmosphere.

[PH4E]

Dead Prez.

[Psicosis]

Saigon is pretty good for angry rap imo.

[RPS]

The Carps.

[Jeff Jeffries]

Dead Celebrity Status.

One of my favorite groups in a long, long time.

[GRIFT]

Immortal Technique, particularly off Revolutionary Volume 2...

Yukmouth, the Don of rap IMO, his shit's pretty hard-hitting. The City Of Dope is exactly what the name suggests DOPE!! I'll think of more later.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yukmouth.

[Gene Kiniski]

Yukmouth.

How can you even mention Game in the same breath as Yukmouth. Yukmouth's biggest hit is better and bigger than any of Games singles. I got 5 on it is an all-time classic. Also, Game & Yuk have settled their differences now, and I beleive the Yuk's feud with 50 is over now aswell.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yuk's angry, sure, but I'd rather listen to someone angry about something other than being the 50 Cent that never made it.

[DMN in the House]

LOL, don't try and attribute 'I got 5 on it' solely to Yukmouth. Game is bigger than Yuk ever dreamed of being.

[Psicosis]

The Carps.

[timbawolf]

I simply can't beleive what I'm hearing here. How is 'The Game' bigger than Yuk? Just because more 12year old girls know who Game is does not mean he's bigger. You go to anywhere in Cali and ask people who they think more of and 90% will say Yukmouth. He's more respected, the mutherfuckers richer than Game but still isn't as big as him? Also, I Got 5 On It can be attributed to Yukmouth or Knumskull. Just like Game can be to How We Do, when we all know who wrote that shit.
