Lets start with these: AOTP Blue Scholars Common Market Dilated Peoples Immortal Technique The Left Murs Royce Da 5'9 Talib Kweli Wu Tang I agree, Eminem blows.
I recommend copping Nicki Minaj's debut album Pink Friday. The girl has serious talent, and the album is full of bangers (including a sick collab with Eminem). You can tell a lot of work went into this one from the Weezy camp. Production and guest appearances by Kanye, Weezy, Rihanna, Natasha Bedingfield, Em, Will.I.Am, Drake.
Hey look, everyone agrees with me about Recovery. If you wanna name underground hip-hop... Doomtree (P.O.S, Dessa, Sims, Cecil Otter, Mike Mictlan) Eyedea & Abilities Sadistik Brother Ali Mac Lethal Matlock Jay Electronica Shad Astronautalis Aesop Rock Grieves
You are crazy. Nicki Manaj is trash. She can't rhyme and her voice sounds even worse. And Eminem is the greatest report alive. There are talented underground artists like immortal and tech n9ne but no matter how many underground artists I listen to the more I realize they aren't nearly as good as Em. I suggest that everyone who thinks Eminem suck should take a listen to the MMLP. Also why were a ton of posts deleted?
Really? Or is it you who doesn't know what they are talking about? Just kiddin man. It's just an opinion. It seems yours is different than mine, that's cool too.
Bunch of haters in the house, guess none of you have been on the fresh train, or on the paper trail, maybe your not even on the list of guest names? You know I don't bust back unless I shoot first so watch what you say! Lil is the best rapper ever, life is a beach and he ain't just playin in the sand :/
Your really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really have no taste in music, is tone deaf, or doesn't like rap.....
You are f*cking kidding me! You need to listen to actual rap. Immortal technique, kanye, jay-z, eminem are a few actual rap artists to name a few. Wayne will get no love from this thread, I'm warning you now.
Idk about Pink Friday, but she absolutely stole "monster" from Kanye and jay-z on MBDTW. There are other examples too. She can most definitely rap, my friend.
I respectfully disagree. If you like her I'm not Trying to stop you. I just cant stand her sound. At all. And tell me. What is so great about Wayne?
Wayne blows. So does Nicki Minaj besides her verse from Monster which I liked. Other than that she sounds like just another annoying Young Money cronie.
Wayne may not be a great lyricist, but personality and production made Tha Carter III a classic IMO. I'm still not his biggest fan. Maybe pgboy knows.
Even if you like Wayne there's no way you can call him a great lyricist. C'mon now he's the perfect example of why hip hop is dying: it's becoming a method of discussing pointless topics with little creativity or originality. That describes him perfectly.
Lil Wayne is a great rapper and is completely original. I don't know what you are listening to. He is probably the reason Hip Hop is so big today. He is responsible for other great rappers such as Drake and Nicki Minaj.
