RayOxide Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=780702 search a little bit. there's a general rap thread where you can look for artists and ask for suggestions. I'd rather get a quick few answers before bed so I can download overnight, instead of waiting til after school for answers. Lupe Fiasco is great. I remember some of the stuff from him on the radio, surprisingly, it was good :P thats a yes. Check out the Roots, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, the first Nas CD (Illmatic), Run DMC, Common, Jurassic 5, Wu-Tang Clan, etc. Havent heard the first 3 wow. I havent heard Nas' first, I've got one song of his :lol: (which is, ironically, the one that made me liking rap/ hiphop again :o )-- I didnt like Run DMC, a friend at school had some o.O, havent heard Jurassic 5, and my brother used to listen to Wu-Tang clan, I'll check them all out. Thanks :) I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to say that it is hard to call someone mainstream when they haven't actually released a studio album. I was NOT trying to say that mainstream music is bad.

Everkenezer Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Mobb deep - Shook ones pt2 Mobb Deep - Survival of the fittest Jurassic 5 - Whats golden Jurassic 5 - Jurass finish first Wu-Tang clan - Protect ya neck Wu-tang Clan - Triumph (Inspectah deck is sickkk) Gang Starr - Code of the streets Public Enemy - By the time i get to arizona Jedi mind tricks - Storm of swords Erick b and Rakim - My Melody (a classic diss line in there) Mr Hyde - Street veterans pt2 (one of my favorites) Twiztid - Die mfer Die Twiztid - Hom sha bom Just some of the tracks i have taht i enjoy anytime. Just a quick note, Twiztid runs with the psychopathic crew. It is classified as "horrorcore rap" but these two are good nonetheless. Twiztid is also the best lyrical duo on the label Rap is veery hot or miss. 99 Fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayOxide Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Didnt get to download anything from last night because of my rushing and I woke up 20 mins til school.. Gonna start with Lupe Fiasco, just cause I remember a few songs I liked. Then I'm going to Nas' album, same reason. Maybe then onto Wu Tang clan. Anyone who has all of: Lupe's first album, Lupe's second album, And Nas' album, Illmatic, How large are each in Megabytes? I gotta know so I can be sure to cram what I want into my 4gb Zen :P EDIT: First Lupe album was 98mb. I got all info I need I guess - no need for this thread. Thanks all. I dont need a siggy no moar.
