View Full Version : Help, I like mainstream rap.

So, I find that there are a lot of opinions on rap here in the forum, and a few lesser known artists that are popular amongst you guys.

I'm hoping you could help me find some lesser known artists that I might like.

To give you an idea of my tastes as far as the mainstream guys:

I like Eminem, Biggy, 50 Cent, Nas, Lloyd Banks, The Game, and D12 a lot. And Snoop, but only Doggystyle.

I like Dr. Dre, Xzibit, Jadakiss, Kanye West, Twista (edited add), Obie Trice, Young Buck, Outkast, and DMX a medium amount.

I don't like Nelly, Fat Joe, Pharrell... I'm at a loss right now for big names I don't like, but hopefully you get some idea.

I like the rhyming of multiple syllables a lot. A lot of older rap that I listen to, I don't like the beat much. I can't describe the beats I like really other than I like Dre's beats.

Can you help me out? Who am I missing out on that I will never see on mtv? or am I hopeless and won't appreciate what you like?

Thanks

Yes, Bone Thugs are AMAZING. Download e1999 or Thug World Order, or there other one in the middle. They're quick and their beats are nice too.

Yeah, I know, but it made me laugh a lot.

I'll try and download a couple songs and get back to you on these. Thanks.

Get the Art of War as well. Pretty much everything Bone does is good.

Art of War would have been better as 1 CD. Same with Wu-Tang Forever though.

It's the only one any good.

Bone sold out when Eazy died.

Bizzy Bone's solo stuff is good to smoke a blunt too as well. Very soothing beats and lyrics.

I just wanna jump in and say there's nothing wrong with liking mainstream rap. I listen to a few different types of music--rap being one of them. I like some more underground stuff and I like some straight Hot 97 stuff. I make no apologies. Rock out with your cock out.
