Its a small, very underground scene. Even in the UK most people don't know UK hiphop is a thing, or at best they know Rootz Manuva. Jehst, Skinnyman and Black the Ripper are all great rappers who I think are immensely under appreciated by 'rap fans'.

Immortal Tech is a bigger joke than Canibus now, and still isn't half as talented. Only people I know who seriously talk about him are dudes whose entire rap listening is limited to him and Liquid Swords.

Oh yeah missed the Triple 6 question. You'll get different answers depending on what era whoever you ask likes the best but a few of us already discussed this about a dozen pages back.

if you like Who Run It though the album it came from, When The Smoke Clears, happens to be my favorite

If you're going on a early 2000's 3 6 spree you should definitely get Project Pat - Mista Don't Play as it is easily the best album from that era and I personally consider it a classic rap album in general.

Brother Ali goes harder when it comes to social and political topics than Common ever has, and Ali is pretty tame and mainstream compared to most.

There's no way in hell Common would ever make a track like "Philistine David", that would make massa too angry and he'd lose his gravy train. That's the difference between a real conscious MC and a wannabe little step-n-fetch.

worlds gayest baby posted:

Compared to actual conscious rappers? Never.

Compared to the idea that stuffy old white critics and hipster morons have of hip hop? He's practically Malcolm X.

The only reason he got ahead is because he was willing to be a good little boy and not make massa too mad. You're never going to see Immortal Technique or Lowkey being nominated for a Grammy, that's for loving sure.

One of my favorite beats, anyone know anything else like this? Like that whiny sounding weird, I dunno it kind of sounds like a Godfather theme song influence or something, type of thing. Also post West coast songs with that weird whiny thing that they do in their songs. Like snoop does. Or the twang twang type of thing in the beginning of this song, it isn't really prevalent in the beat but for some weird reason I like that weird twang twangy type of noises.

All of Kanye's Albums

"Last Day"
"C.R.E.A.M. Freestyle"
"Chest 2 Chest"

Oh yeah and they went hard that one time on Nickelodeon's All That. That was probably Puff's fault though.

Get Kendrick Lamar's section 80. He's got crazy vocal talent and does similar politically tinged stuff over somewhat pop sensible beats. There's a bunch of other dudes who do similar stuff, but Kendrick's probably the closest in talent and sound to Lu.

Has the Game always been this kind of diss rapper? After this and the Hopsin thing earlier this week I'm sick of the (___________ diss) that goes after all the titles.

I've always liked kendrick and I feel like he's probably got the most exposure out of the west coast's youngsters. Not nipsey. Not jay rock. I like nipsey a lot but I think kendrick is better and section 80 is a great album. I advise everyone to get it.

Edit: Also I find the uncle odis diss hilarious. The references he makes are quite clever more than I expected from game.
