Irish Envy Hip Hop Heads

[IrishSteelhead]

I'm just gonna leave this here.

Anybody remember that horrible duo called "3rd Bass?" They made a song ripping Vanilla Ice called "Pop Goes the Weasel" and Henry Rollins played Vanilla in the video. The joke was clearly on 3B. They took themselves way too seriously.

If they don't wear face paint or show off rippling abs they are posers.

Woah I'm from Philly and I don't even think Meek Mill is near that good haha even though half our songs at prom last year were him.

Personally think Biggie is easily the best "rapper" of all time. His flow is just insane. Tupac's flow isn't as good but his message and lyrics are better. Will be interesting to see where the general public thinks Eminem falls on this list in the coming years.

I think Biggie is easily the most "over-rated" rapper of all time. He'll always be in the conversation with Pac due to their shared history and similarly tragic murders, but it was never really a debate in my mind. I overheard one of my HS players saying Biggie was better than Pac in the weight room last year and I stopped what everyone was doing to spend 15 minutes setting the record straight.

Just so we're clear...I'm not trying to tell you that you're wrong. It's your personal preference and I respect that.

Biggie? pfft, he had nothin on these guys.

Machine Gun Kelly has got some talent as well.

The whole subject is inherently polarizing.

Haha not saying he is the best but for my personal tastes he has more songs that I like than most other rappers. New York State of Mind is my prob my favorite song of all time. JMO

Philly, what are your thoughts on Tribe Called Quest, DeLa Soul? Tribe has three of my favorite rap albums ever and DeLa Soul was so good back then.

Tbh besides a couple of each of their hits I haven't listened to them the same way i've listened to Biggie, Tupac, and Nas. What do you recommend

Midnight Marauders, as I stated earlier... Yesir.

Yup. No doubt. "Low End Theory " is fantastic too.

De La Soul is Dead. Probably one of the best rap albums ever.

As I mentioned in the other thread, Joey Bada$$ is a solid young guy. He hasn't put it all together yet, but if you like a 90s sound give him a listen.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't think Biggie was a much better rapper technically than Tupac. The flow and the rhyme schemes were simply ahead of his time. Tupac is great for other reasons of course.

Also I wish Koon and Pat were here.

ETA: I still know all the words to "Shake Ya Tailfeather" from the Bad Boys II soundtrack... does that make me gangster like y'all?

As long as you don't come to our yard and tell us to get off of our own lawn, we'll let it slide.*


*and by that, I mean fully embrace it, because anything with Nelly is good with me.

New Earl and Action Bronson on monday. 2015 been crazy so far

I'll admit it, I had a Public Enemy tape back in the day.

It was a single, can't remember the song though.

Damn good month for rap. Kendrick, Earl, and Action. Plus Kanye's laptop got stolen in Paris, so maybe we'll hear his new album this month too.

 

[General Colon Bowel]

As for everyone who says that hip-hop/rap has gone down the toilet, I tend to agree but only about the stuff that's getting radio play. We're never gonna see another '94, but there's still some great hip-hop being made. Joey Badass, Lupe, Run the Jewels (really anything Killer Mike or El-P related), Action Bronson, Kendrick, Isaiah Rashad, YGTUT, Vince Staples, Earl, Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa, Outkast is making new music, Kanye, Big KRIT, Schoolboy Q, Chuwwee, Pusha T, etc. etc. etc. The difference between the heyday of hip-hop and now is back then Biggie, Nas, and Tupac were the best and the most popular. Nowadays, the best hip-hop isn't necessarily the most popular and you probably won't hear it on the radio.
