top 10...err...11

beastie boys. LMFAO.

^ Aw, come on, the Beastie Boys are cool!

I don't really listen to hip hop or rap very much, so Beastie Boys, Eminem, and Outkast are really the only ones I sort of like.

noooo beastie boys are a pile of shit tbh.

^ Well, everyone has their own opinions.

The radio stations here only really play hip hop and rap. And it's not even good hop hop or rap, which really sucks.

Paul's Boutique is in my top 10 albums ever. Quite good live as well...no stupid entourages...good support acts...rare these days.

I like Beastie Boys and Jurassic 5

Saul Williams is awesome, as well as Busta Rhymes.

i only sorta like the beastie boys.
i havent got much time for hip-hop and rap.

yeah saul williams is cool. oh and guess what?! you're probably not interested in this, but...

the hives did a medley and they performed 'list of demands' by saul williams

they also did 'stay fly' by three 6 mafia
'hey ya' by outkast
'7 nation army' by the white stripes
'(gotta get some action) now!' by the hellacopters
and 'two thieves' by the compulsive gamblers.

here's the link if you're interested.

Thanks! That was really cool.

Lupe Fiasco
theres some more but he's all I can remember right now

I haven't heard anything that isn't the least bit mainstream for rap, but Em is pure genius, Luda's one i listen to also.

sorry.

shoo, little girl.

knob off.

what kind of a phrase is that?!

its the only phrase that isnt wasted on you.

I am sorry to tell you that i hate rap and hip hop. You see i am sorry cause i really respect certain rappers espeshally ones who can improvise and create original lyrics on the spot, but i can stand actually listening to them.

You dont need to be sorry for anything
it's not like you have to like rap or hip hop.

yeah, rap/hip hop is completely different than REAL music

eh?

*realizes an insult just backfired*

*runs like hell*

nar.

shut up.

Nah it is more like you can respect somone or somthing and you are kinda sorry that you don't see why other people think it is so great. I'm not really sorry.....i supose i am sorry that those people don't make a different type of music i might like it then. I mean there are some geniuses who can create lyrics on the spot (i don't mean the steritypical rap i mean somthing which is more relevant) so i think if they wrote a tune and sung there lyrics they might be good. (and don't tell me thats imposible or too hard, Jim Morrison could improvise lyrics.)

Lil Jon
Snoop Dogg
Wu Tang Clan
Pitbull
Daddy Yankee (does he count? probs not.)
Ludacris
Outkast
N.E.R.D.
Jedi Mind Tricks
Dr. Dre
and the Beastie Boys
are just a few of my faves


i love dancin to them alllll

im not a real hip hop fan (cause I kind alot of it to be the same suff), but I love,
eminem,
Lady Sovereign (Her album is soooo good!)
outkast,
and k-Os

I don't actually like any rap/hip-hop artists, but I like certain songs. "Fight Music" by D-12 is one of my favorites.

Just wondering. Where would you put Gorillaz genre-wise? Is it hip-hop or pop or something else?

I've heard the category "trip-hop" for the Gorillaz

yeah i heard that too. they say the arctic monkeys, jamie t, the streets etc are trip-hop too.
i find bands who are categorised in trip-hop are ones who sing in their local accent and sing about life in where they live and whatnot.

No.

Trip-hop was a term that was used to describe DJ Shadow, et cetera.

well, thank you for informing us.
i was just expressing a theory was all.

As ever.

*coughs*

Yes, it's just like saying Britney Spears is brit pop, just a theory.


I know that. I feel like this about Raggae most of the time. Although I do like some tracks sometimes. But normally it makes me really agressive.

Most bands I like are already mentioned like N.E.R.D. and The Roots and the Wu-tang clan. But I also like like some German Hip Hop. And sometimes french.

German hip-hop <3

N.E.R.D are the shizz.

And you're black. In conclusion to what's just been said; don't state the obvious.

whats wrong with black people?
