Dmx never gets the credit he deserved. Coolest style hands down. Down right scary lyrics.

Doc, a while back I found myself at a 'drinking bout' with a bunch of wannabe rappers and one pro rapper and I was telling them all how much I hated rap.

Then one of them gave me a shit-load of rap recordings including sheets of the written lyrics and told me to read and listen to the words and the beat.

That started with Sugar Hill Gang (Rapper's Delight and Cherokee) and gradually led to Eminem ..... and I got hooked and most likely have the largest collection of rap music of anyone on this board.

I like the 'music' and Dre's beats but I have no idea of rap's history and background.

One person I know does his own rap recording in his basement and I gotta admit that it's phenominal shit.

If you tell me how to send a 'song' from iTunes, I'll send you a couple of his home-made recordings and you can tell me if it's decent rap or not.

Nah, it be wasted on me. I have no ear for rap. Kinda like giving me 'expensive' wine. My palate doesn't know the difference between a fine or an ordinary vintage. However, you wanna talk rock music '65-'75, then I'm all ears.

I was born and raised in MI and I heard some of his underground stuff and was like damn this guy is pretty amazing for rough cut stuff....Never realized that when he has a bit of money behind him he would put out this much talent

Listen here kid. America is the Gold Standard m o t h e r f u c k e r, ya hear me? GOLD MOTHERFUCKING STANDARD!...So if we haven't heard of them here, they fucking suck Got it Slick?
There's a reason people WORLDWIDE have heard of Em, Kanye, Weezy and others...Cause they're fucking good.

Your 5th tier rappers may be talented but if haven't made it in America , you haven't made it.

Can you read jackass? I didn't make the list...It's from BET.

This list is fucking retarded and just shows how sheepish people are, seriously. People need to recognise the talent of real innovators, from the likes of Wu-Tang, Nas, Biggie, Pac and the like. I literally shook my head in disgust reading that list.
