I am not a huge fan of Hip-Hop and Rap, but I do listen to it occasionally. You have to admit that some black artists are very talented (r&b and soul artists).

I am listening to The Notorious BIG - Life After Death right now and I kinda like the rythm of this cd. Nothing too wild or hip-hop.

Does anyone know any other cd that I (or you) might find enjoyable? Maybe 2Pac?

You should really do a search

I know the true gangsta's won't agree but I kind of like Whitey Ford Sings The Blues by Everlast.

Notorious J.I.M.

There are all kinds of good hip-hop albums. I'm not a big fan of rap but tupac is the man. =)
If you want a taste of his music, get a good listen to 2 Pac: Greatest Hits. IMO, he is the greatest rapper of all time.

snoop doggy-dogg with the doggystyle.

 

[Flasken]

I don't like snoop doggs voice, no, Tupac for me!! - a great and versatile artist in my oppinion.

 

[Pepsione1]

I think 2Pac is great too. I mean they have songs that you will never get tired of listening to.

Any other recommandation? I generally like cds where a story is being told.

 

[Braver]

story? Children's Story on Everlast - Eat At Whitey's is fun

Spooks are cool too. I don't know too much in this genre otherwise. Thongsong and MTV kinda killed it for me.

Snoop Dogg: Doggystyle - Lodi Dodi

S N double O P D O double G you see. Hehe, I like sn00p too.

Recent album| Nate Dogg: Music & Me
I love Nate Dogg, (all of 213 actually, Warren G: Return of the Regulator is great too, Butch Cassidy adds to his album greatly) such a mellow voice, great stories... It's a must have.

tribe is good. especially midnight marauders and low end theory.

and y'all should check out Dr. Octogon AKA Kool Keith AKA ????
he raps about eating raw chicken wings and put out an album called Dr. Octogynacologist. He also claims to be the black elvis. needless to say, a modern day genius. very funky beats, bordering on the whack side of things... in a good way.

i saw jurassic 5 live yesterday, though there was only 4 mcs not 5 haha.. there was a really good vibe between them and the audience. the acousitics wasn't very good.. way too bright but what do u expect from a open air setting..

mould - Did their two DJ's rip it up duel style or what? They're the best I've ever heard. (@ Warped Tour 2000 in Boston, MA)

Yes, Tribe Called Quest is very good.

 

[becomethemould]

ya they did!! it was like a 10 min dj session. pretty wicked. first one was playing the drums, and the other dude was stratching with him, then they both scratched together. really really good, first time watching a dj stratch session.. my friends said it was pretty boring haha they dont really appreciate turntablism

 

[Audio-Me]

Boring? What the hell were you friends doing there then? Hehe. Even if their MCs sucked, I'd still listen to them live just to hear the DJs rip it up.

 

[becomethemould]

i suggested we should check em out. i only know j5 coz they toured with rage against the machine... one friend reckons black eyed peas is better than j5.
