A little late on the RIP there don't ya think?
-
Yeah dude. Hes been dead for like 10 years.
-
Seriously it's been over ten years wtf. lol. Lets throw in Eazy E too. Maybe Tupac and Big. ;D
-
I'd say Jay Dee (Jay Dilla) did HUGE amount for the undaground. He was very underrated
-
Sorry the RIP threw me off. Don;t take me too seriously.

Most today call themselves "Lil", and you know by 26-30, one should dropped the Lil by their name. Even Lil Kim, who is like 4'11.

Beast of a rapper, legend even though he died at 24.
what do you know about Big L? I mean that seriously ::)
honestly, do you know where Big L is from? not that it matters..you internet kids are funny
-
Rap is gay, and is total shit, hope this heps...

Two Greats.
Guru's best tracks to me are Dwyck and Mass Appeal
side note, he had a heart attack recently.

Is it not enought to have heard most of his songs and rate him highly? What is your point? I know he was from Harlem so what? Are you a rap-snob :-\?
Yes, I am.
you need context to rate someone highly. You need to know whom his peers were and whom he patterned himself after. I feel that you lack the pedigree to rate Big L.
you lack the back ground to appreciate the time frame of Big L. You don't know the history of when all of this was going down. At the time Biggie Smalls was beefing with WuTang and Nas. And the uptown crew Big L et al were being ignored, fat Joe was trying to get into the game. This was when EPMD and NWA was nearly dead and a new style of rap was taking over.

lol, I just noticed that the guy singing the chorus is Kid Capri..haha..I forgot that he produced Big L
-
Oh great, a rap snob ::). Instead of encouraging todays youth and being glad we actually don't listen to lil wayne and soulja boy he's gonna preach about what rap is to me. Dude I feel sorry for you. You are pathetic bro.
And you don't know shit about what I listen to so STFU.
no need to curse, we are having a dialog here. Some of lil' wayne stuff is OK, especially the stuff that Drake writes for him.
Big L is too "monotone" his flow/inflection are not dynamic enough, lyrical skills are pretty good though.
-

obviously not a magic negro.

Here's a playlist I made of some of my favourites, is it snob approved? ::)
Do you think that instead of actively trying to listen to the old greats and searching for their stuff that I should just rather turn on MTV because "I don't know what was going on". Dude your argument SUCKS, honest truth. People like you are so proud of being "first" when it comes to listening to stuff. If you feel "proud" about the fact that you listened to this stuff before I did, well congratulations.
Comments
1. Add Rakim "I ain't no Joke"
2. Less LL Cool J
3. Add Big Pun
4. Wu' Gravel Pit..seriously?
5. skip to the 3 min marker, most have this verse rated 10 of all time:
6. Anything from Tribe is good
7. replace your Nas song with or this ..hell, anything from that first album is classic

Perhaps some of your points are right, I will grant you that.
I see people going around calling so and so the greatest when they don't have the range to do a full comparison. In the end it doesn't matter, music is music
check out
Brand Nubian
Pete Rock and C L Smooth
Big Daddy Kane <- could have been the greatest but didn't last and went too commercial..

:D
yes Will I think about you all the time and in various ways (no homo)
-
I listen to alot of Wu-tang, it's not all on the list. I only got 2 LL songs there (he's underrated). I will add inn some Big Pun and the other things you said as I am always open to listen to new stuff. Better to suggest stuff like you do here than to just tell me I don't know anything.
ok, I am off for my morning cardio..I am going to use your list of songs as my playlist.
I would add you on my facebook, but Getbiggers take this shit too serious sometimes.

I see Xerxes is keeping it gangsta in Sweden or Norway or wherever the fuck he is from.
Rap music brought gangsta culture to places it never should have been.
-
Says the guy who poses with a blue scarf in his picture like he "down" with the crips or something ;D.
Actually I never wear that bandana out at all. It's just an old black bandana I have. The black bandana isn't gangsta anyway, it's some punk rock shit.
I did grow up in California and lived in some real hoods though. But i'm not into that gangsta garbage, it's very simple, stupid, and played out. It's a scurge to society. Ever since I was a kid I hated the gangsters. They are almost all fucking goons.

I just listen to rap, that is all. I don't want to be a thug/gangster or anything. I was born in one of the poor parts of Tehran and a few of my uncles were drugdealers, got a few relatives in jail etc. I'm glad I live in Norway where there really isn't a "ghetto" to speak of. There are some places with a high concentration of immigrants but he have it too good here to ever call it a "hood", even if they want to pretend they live in a "gangsta hood" ;D.
make a rock thread to..i like some rap but rocks the shizzle my nizzle :D

Most rap does fucking suck. Maybe 1% of it is good. But when you hear good rap is is some amazing shit.

um he died recently...

Guru was the self professed king of monotone.

I was a huge fan of Kane, going back to 1988 with "Ain't no Half Steppin'". If we are having a discussion of who is the best rapper/MC ever, we need to include Kool G Rap, Kan'e boy from the Juice Crew.
Kool G is considered one of the best (if not the best) by his peers.

The whole music scene looks like it's gone down the shitter but if you take the time to discover the underground world you'll find alot of good stuff. My music collection is about 21,500 songs majority of which are unheard off on the radio.
90's rap is where it's at, no autotune!
II unorthodox - Just a little flava
MC Juice (Best freestyler ever)
Da King & I -Tears
Da Grassroots - Precious Metals
Da Bush Babees - Remember We(Where Mos Def got his start) I wanted to post Gravity but couldn't get the youtube vid for it.
Blackmoon - Buck em Down
Peanut Butter Wolf - Run the Line Remix
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And some Good Indie Rock for yalls
Yeasayer - Tightrope
Andrew Bird - Nervous Tic Motion

Jazz Rap is where its at!
