January 28, 200917 yr When every man is torn apartWith nightmares and with dreamsWill no one lay the laurel wreathWhen silence drowns the screams?
January 28, 200917 yr Emenim's one of my favorite mainstream rappers. Rather, the only one I like. Edit: Kanye's not bad either Aesop Rock and Atmosphere are two I've been told are good, I've never actually heard Atmosphere though, so who knows. Another one that's big with some of the guys I know is Immortal Technique. Again, haven't heard much from him. Edit again: Forgot Cypress Hilll and House of Pain (sometimes) I like Aesop Rock, he's really good. Atmosphere I don't like my roommate last year over played the crap out of them. @RayOxide rap and hip hop are the same thing. I use rap to describe hardcore stuff and hip hop to describe stuff like Kayne, nas, etc. because for me rap is more about anger, and violence, and women (50 Cent for example) where hip hop is not.
January 28, 200917 yr Rap = Hip Hop? I dont see a difference >.> Rap is more of just a singer and a bass but hip hop has other effects in it. Pureprayer, you're awesome.
January 28, 200917 yr Hip hop's really what you'll hear now. And like pure said, rap is more bass and a rapper. Also, I've grown to despise a Tribe Called Quest. I used to kinda enjoy them, but I don't know ... One day, hearing their music just made me very angry. And I did not like it. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream
January 29, 200917 yr Rap = Hip Hop? I dont see a difference >.> I go by KRS One's definition of things. Hip Hop is a culture that involves Dj'ing, Graffiti writing, breakdancing and MC'ing (Rapping). Rapping is a musical form of Hip Hop culture. So if you're talking about hip hop in relation to music you're talking about rap anyway. I only ever see these differentiations between rap & hip hop online however, I never see the distinction made on websites that are actually about hip hop. So the terms to me, are pretty interchangeable. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC)
January 29, 200917 yr The only reason why i'm put off by rap is because every single one of them is in love with themselves :wall: Anyways... MF Doom is my favorite rapper, one of my favourite artists as well
January 29, 200917 yr Rap = Hip Hop? I dont see a difference >.> I've seen them used interchangably, but the definition I go by is that rap is the vocal style and hip-hop is the genre.
January 29, 200917 yr Bone Thugs Big pun Tupac Dre Snoop Dogg DMX P Diddy Ludacris Akon I like rap with a RnB feel to it. "I'd rather bear the comments people say to insult ya, then to poison my skin and erase my culture " - Deep Foundation
February 4, 200917 yr [hide=] [/hide] Good picks. Low End Theory and Illmatic are both fantastic. Don't know the other two, but I'll check them out. I'm a huge fan of alternative and underground rap/hip-hop. I'm not such a big fan of commercial hip-hop (Kanye, Lupe Fiasco, Soulja, Lil' Wayne). Some of my favourites... Blue & Exile A Tribe Called Quest Digable Planets CYNE The Roots MC Lyte MURS Devin the Dude Pete Rock Dr. Octagon

I only ever see these differentiations between rap & hip hop online however, I never see the distinction made on websites that are actually about hip hop. So the terms to me, are pretty interchangeable. I guess thats reasonable, it's what I thought originally but lately I've just wondered if it really is that different. So, hip hop is just a rapper, with all these (SAMPLED) beats? Tbh, I lol at live your live 1. Cause it has the mai-a-haha thing from the numa numa song (cant remember name) 2. Cause it doesnt have the numa numa part in it :( For rap, the only mainstream rap i hear now is.. O wait, its all hip hop and r'n'b. Imo, Hip hop is more womanizing and drug influential than 'rap'. And, really any rap I've heard is Eminem, and yes, I include that as rap if you dont, there's no sampled crap, and most is funny, and isnt stupid and [developmentally delayed]ed, even though it sends itself that way, it isnt. >_> I dont need a siggy no moar.
February 4, 200917 yr I liked eminem up to the eminem show, but I haven't listened to him in years. I do like hilltop hoods though, they're aussie and really good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eTR7pz4S_E
February 4, 200917 yr Favorite rappers right now: Saul Williams and KRS-One Saul Williams is freaking epic. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!
February 5, 200917 yr Thank you Rollyboy, I was about ready to cry if nobody had mentioned Bone Thugs N Harmony. I'm more of a fan of the older style rap versus this new generation rap, but then again I don't really open myself up to any other rap than what I already know I like (hard to go in depth into a single genre when you listen to every genre :wall: ) Bone Thugs Tupac Notorious B.I.G. Eminem Fyi, saying rap = hip hop is like saying coffee = espresso. May the presents of our lord and savior, Santa, be with you this holiday season!First annual Clausmas - 2009 December 25
February 5, 200917 yr lil wayne's new song prom queen is sweet lol. i think he and t.i are the most talented rappers/artists. also check out run it by slim thug :thumbsup: :thumbsup: [/bads]
February 6, 200917 yr Wouldn't call them the most talented. They're smart, though. Very smart. And they flaunt their images well. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream
February 6, 200917 yr Wouldn't call them the most talented. They're smart, though. Very smart. And they flaunt their images well. Yeah, I dont think they are even close to the most talented (Especially not in lyric quality), but I guess you could say they are very good at what they do. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!
February 6, 200917 yr I liked eminem up to the eminem show, but I haven't listened to him in years. I do like hilltop hoods though, they're aussie and really good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eTR7pz4S_E he has a new album coming out soon, after like a 4 year hiatus. it may or may not have been leaked already ( :-# )
February 6, 200917 yr name on better rapper at this day n age? Lil' Wayne is a commercial pop artist in the same field as Soulja Boy. They are "talented" at appealing to commercial interests, but beyond that, they do not have very much talent at all. :|
February 6, 200917 yr name on better rapper at this day n age? Saul Williams. Krs-One. and for lyrics I would even say Scroobius Pip. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!
February 6, 200917 yr The only rapper I've only ever liked Eminem. Mostly The Eminem Show and Encore. I feel like most of the other rappers (not all of them) just have really meaningless lyrics. Eminem's actually mean something to me, with the exception of a few songs. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
February 6, 200917 yr Tripsis, I suspect you have not heard a lot of rap. :lol: What do you look for in lyrics? Life as a blue collar worker? There are plenty of 'meaningful' and 'meaningless' songs in every genre of music.
