All of their songs sound the same.

Rakim used a lot of internal rhyming and sometimes rhymed phrases instead of words, which was way ahead of his time. Out of this group, probably only Eminem would be better at working rhyme schemes than Rakim. The other guys you mentioned are more about great lyrical content and flow rather than complex rhymes and metaphors.

Interesting post, thanks for the info

Well it's "His" not "They" but you have a point... At least 4 or 5 of the songs have this annoying "cha" sample. But I still like it (for the moment).

Thanks, guys, for completly turning my first two posts into something they werent.
Aman explained it perfectly, but I will do it again in case it isnt through your thick skulls yet.
I said nothing against rap.
I didnt say the thread should be closed.
I said nothing against rap threads.
I said nothing against anyone involved in the thread.(Unlike some of you)
I made a refrence that I would have made towards any music genre if the last 20 threads about that genre were complete BS.
You managed to turn what I said into "OMG rap sucks and this thread should be closed right now and anyone who likes rap is a jackass!"

You can now keep bitching about what I said all you want, Im done here.

I've only just very recently started listening to this style of music in an attempt to push my own boundaries (due to my favoured genres of music being somewhat unsatisfying lately), and have been pleasantly surprised by the result. Now I'm pretty much a total neophyte to anything hip hop or rap, and to tell you the truth, i couldn't even begin to understand if there's a difference between hip hop and rap and urban, or which artist is what, or whatever.

Anyways, so far the artists that stand out for me are Deltron 3030, Cannibal Ox, Dälek, Public Enemy, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, and Zion I.

Just curious where I should be looking next in my quest for new music!

all good artists, Cannibal Ox and Aesop Rock are on the Def Jux label. You should try out RJD2, i think you would like him.

yeah, hyroglyphics is a great label that has some good MC's. I like his rhymes and flow in his solo work, but the beats are sub par and kind of annoying.

I also, just got Blackstar album and it is superb. Always been a fan of both MC's, awesome album, a must for all hip-hop fans.
