I thought this same thing, thought he was some lost Sunz of Man member or something. I don't think he's offensive (and most the production I heard from the admittedly small sample I listened to was really good) but he's kinda bland.

Yeah it is kind of corny and I don't like Banner usually but there's probably bigger problems for the black community than V-Nasty. He talks about other stuff too but I think that's how it was advertised on worldstar when it first dropped. I can't get over the swag WOOP swag WOOP hahaha Banner a fool

Warren is a pretty weak recommendation. You want to be looking for Crucial Conflict and Speedknot Mobstz. The later to a lesser degree they dont often do the quick flow as often as The others even they they have Twsita. But definitely Crucial Conflict.

This is all anyone listened to i Chicago util they hopped on the Souths nuts when P blew.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMHl92_mn6w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fg2NRCB9Sc

EDIT: Bone is objectively better than all of those. They made it gangster as gently caress to start harmonizing your bars even though they all had crazy flows anyway. Also, they went in on the south like...instantly. And simultaenously went in on both Crucial, DoD and Twista. Basically anyone that sounded at all similar even if they were actually doing it longer than them.

Bone is underrated. Hella.

Nice Do or Die is sick. As for g-funk, try some Bay Area stuff, especially from the 90s (called mobb music for anyone who doesn't know, it's similar to g-funk. Here's a quick description). Some examples:

Guce and RBL Posse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2W3Tkgwqg8&feature=related
NOH Mafia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlLzWtb4VlI&feature=related

Brotha Lynch Hung: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ylKlt0qkWo&feature=related
X-Raided: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnqeSdVI1H8&feature=related

And speaking of Do or Die here's some stuff by the other much lesser known Do or Die, which was from San Francisco. They've only ever released one album, but it had some pretty good tracks on it:

I gotta agree that Bone's way better than Crucial Conflict or Do Or Die if that whole staccato thing is what you're looking for. I used to hate that Hay song, and my friend got that album and always wanted to loving play it and it was lame as hell and still is. I'd actually put Twista below all of them, just for the fact that he always seemed more gimmicky than the others, like he was forever the token "fast rapping dude" whenever someone wanted a fast rapper (although that might just be my bias).

Also E.1999 is still one of my fav all-time albums. Has held up a lot better than I would've expected to, poo poo is still menacing as gently caress. Original Crossroads is also about 10x better than the remake, for anyone who actually hasn't heard it

DoesSouthernplayalisticadillacmuzik go without saying? For fast-rapping g-funk, I can't think of many better albums. But I'm sure everyone here already knows it backwards and forwards.

So I'll throw out Tech N9ne's old stuff, before the horrorcore/juggalo style, where he kinda sounds like he's jacking Bone-thugz style a bit. Check:

it sounds like Ro has settled things with J Prince enough so that he's got input on the last two albums for his Rap-A-Lot deal. Meth is way more cohesive than Heroin, and you can definitely tell that dude has lightened up a lot. On a first listen I didn't get even a little bit depressed(!)

To be fair even though there are some hosed up towns and suburbs in the Pacific Northwest, the big cities (where most rappers come from) are all relatively safe for violent crime by US standards (meaning their ghetto poo poo is at a relative minimum), except for Tacoma. That's probably one reason why when compared to many other US cities/regions they don't have as many rappers who aren't on some kind of conscious type of poo poo, or rapping about coffee and snow (i like Blue Scholars, but it's kind of funny when they mention "the hood", seeing as they're from Seattle, and especially in said coffee and snow song).

But of course that's assuming that good rappers only come from hosed up areas...which may be true to some extent, but only some. It might help explain the state of the PNW's rap scene though.

Here's some gangster PNW poo poo by Tr3 Nut:

There's plenty of ghetto poo poo in WA outside Tacoma but you're right that there's only a few major population centers that are ghetto. Most of the cities are pretty safe except for maybe a few neighborhoods here and there. There's a LOT of ghetto rear end smaller cities/towns though especially in the south end of the state.

Haha yeah I wasn't really trying to use the Blue Scholars as an example but they totally fit my Seattle rap stereotype so I felt obligated.

Rah's post is pretty spot on though, in that WA has plenty of ghetto but its all small cities/towns & not the major population centers that are ghetto. (except Tacoma & a few others) which is probably why we don't get many good rappers & the good ones we get are likely to be white & inclined to rap about coffee. Also probably why my favorite Seattle rapper is a 21 year old white kid who goes to UW. -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9MpwzM13MI
