Old Rap
i dont know why, but i never fell for all the new "gangsta" hip hop stuff. I have nothing against people that like it, it doesn't fully bother me, but I have no idea how the idea behind real rap got turned into people that have lots of money in their banks or hos up in whatever.
does anyone have any suggestions for artists or songs that were of the old rap, where it was actually about rhyme rythm and had meaning? thanks in advance |
Because it's not like good hip hop isn't around today.

Generally most of the "gangsta" stuff i thought was prominent in the mid-90's?
Wu Tang clan, Tupac, Biggie etc N.W.A was from the 80's. Most commercial rappers these days seem less like that stereotype these days. Anyway, old artists you should check out: Digable Planets Black Sheep Rakim |
Ill Bill
Tribe Called Quest Ol Dirty Bastard Mos Def B.I.G NWA Dr. Dre Ghostface Killah Public Enemy Disposable Hero's Of Hiphoprisy DMX Sage Francis Non Phixion Jedi Mind Tricks Cannibal Ox Tupac Beastie Boys. Snoop Dogg (old anyway) |
Definitely back up Digable Planets
De La Soul Brand Nubian Common Erik B & Rakim Big Daddy Kane Souls of Mischief Boogie Down Productions Jeru the Damaja |

It Sucks

No.
There were a few good artists(NWA, Biggie, Cannibal Ox and such), but there is so much better stuff around these days. |
Everyone knows old rap is better, why was my post deleted

alright thanks everyone, ive got a bunch to look up now
|
Bone Thugs N Harmony!

I think you are looking for artists like:
Jurassic 5 Blackalicious Aesop Rock Sunspot Jonz Del Tha Funkee Homosapien etc. All these rap artists/groups really don't rap about guns and hos and most of them are great. |
Most of your list is pretty current though..
|
Okay, I was thinking the guy was looking for recent stuff that had the old-school style. Well, damn..
Big Daddy Kane KRS-One Big L Craig Mack A Tribe Called Quest (any of the native tounges) There's a ton, even older like early 80s stuff. Dunno what he's after. I mean you do a search of those rappers on amazon or something and you'll find a bunch of related artists. |
A Hell Yes to Big L
|
NWA
Dr.Dre Tupac Run DMC Tribe Called Quest Rakim There is so much good stuff from back in the day. But Ive gotta say that today there are lots of great stuff too. Just that they don't get to the radio often enough. Eminem and Kanye West are excellent examples of good artists who made it to the spot light in my opinion. |
Whats wrong with rapping about 'guns and ho's', its more entertaining than rapping about afrocentrcity and peace if you ask me.
|
Its fine, if you happen to live in an environment with a lot of guns and prostitutes.
