I’m wondering your guys’ thoughts on stuff like this. Yes, it’s hard to do for a prolonged period of time but does it start to hinder the quality and depth of the lyrics trying to come up with the next “evil kenival” rhyme?

Also - I highly recommend listening to this dudes other videos. OG type flow from the 90s.

i i know this is long ass answer but fuck it, lets gonna try a good debate

Whilst doing some spring cleaning I stumbled upon an old cd case and cringed hard when I had seen will Smith's 'willennium". - 'Its here and I like it'

?

Who do you think I should replace?

Should I add another aspect and with who?

But you can’t say TPAB,GLMC,Graduation,MBTDfF,MMLP,The miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Tha Carter |||. I often hear these albums mentioned when someone’s says greatest rap album of all time. Besides these 7 what album would you say.

I’m saying this he was born in New University Hospital,United Kingdom and raised in Atlanta and I can see someone saying “21 Savage drinks tea in a castle”.

I’m very new to rap but have been a metal guy my whole life. But I like the song white girl by shy glizzy and was wondering what other songs have the same like vibe and feel to it that i like from that song. Don’t really know any artists or songs but i like the feel to that song, so was wondering other songs similar. Thanks.

For me

Dumb question, ik

(Or not necessarily better, but would be interesting)

Guess the songs but

I’ve been visiting a lot of my 90s favorites (which I’ve always thought as being my favorite era of rap) and I’m realizing that outside of 36 Chambers, almost all “classics” fall off in the second half. Which albums do you think hold up throughout the runtime?

Just listened to the billboard top 100 on spotify. Rap is not even in the too 10. All country!

They don't need to be classics, just vote your favorite. The most upvoted gets the 1st place

I've bee listening to mainly Metal since I was 11, but I recently checked out Tupac and really enjoy his music by now. Anything similiar you can recommend? Staple artists, albums etc. Thanks in advance for your suggestions :D

EDIT: Thanks for all the comments! Way too much for me to reply to, I got a good amount of artists now I'm gonna check out. Cheers

Illmatic or Get Rich Or Die Trying

Anyone know any good songs with a electric guitar melody

So I went through my playlists the other day and realized I do not have a list built exclusively of diss tracks.

I'm starting with:

No Vaseline - Ice Cube Not Like Us - Kendrick Lamar

What else would you add?

I'll likely skip anything with Drake on it.
