Good Rappers

[JackMaster]

Well I'm not saying they aren't good, it's just that you can tell that their music was made in the 80s-90s. What I'm saying is go listen to Sucker MCs, and then go listen to Elevators or Ms. Jackson and tell me when each one sounds like it was made. Most people would tell you that DMC sounds like it was made in the late 80s, yes Elevators was made around 2000-2002, when it was made about 5 years before.

what the fuck are you talkin about? Are you trying to say ATLiens sounds ahead of its time? Run DMC was waaaay ahead of their time too. I just don't see where youre trying to go with that?

90% of mainstream rap is garbage. A few good songs mixed in, but mostly not worth wating you life listening to it.

Underground rap is always the best you are going to find. I only really know the chichago underground cause thats where I grew up. I remember listening to Twista when he was still Tung Twista, Crucial Conflict before "Hay", DA Smart, B-Low 0, Snipaz, Southside Mobbin.

Other older, and not as well known NORTHERN rappers that stayed pretty much in the underground. Dayton Family from Detroit is the one that comes to min at 3am, but there are others.

1. Gangstarr is J Premier and G.U.R.U. It is not a "him"

I didn't even see that. But yes, Gangstarr is a group. The very first time I saw/heard them, I though GS was the name of the rapper, lolol.

2. The only Pac you like is All Eyez on me, which was mediocre at best and should have been condensed into just one album. The Makiavelli album was garbage and was a posthumous release of outtakes and bSides. You need to listen to Me Against the World and 2Pacalypse to get a better appreciation of Pac.

I've heard the very same thing many times.

3. You caliing Rakim a legend? Please be honest, do you even own Paid in Full? Don't Sweat the Technique? Follow the Leader? I dunno if he's the G.O.A.T....? I always thought Kane was doper, but Paid in Full and Don't Sweat the Technique could arguably be 2 of the greatest ALBUMS of all time. Rakim hasn't done shit right in over 15 years. He had a nice little 5 year period, but he can't be called the greatest of all time based on a 5 year run of dopeness. He's like a Gayle Sayers imo.

So true. I was a huge fan of Eric B and Co. Rakim was a badass emcee, but, like JM said, a few years at the top does a G.O.A.T. not make. To me, he's on the line of Kool G Rap and Kane both. Later, QD.

Dayton Family is from FLINT

And quite well known. They aren't underground at all, Jimmy.

The Dayton Family came out just after MC Breed("Ain't No Future In Yo Frontin'"). Both are from Flint. Later, QD.

4. Big L, I was a huge fan of his unsigned mixtape stuff, but his only album was iffy. Platinum Plus was hott tho.

5. LOL, "wow someone else listens to dead prez...i thought i was the only one..." youre so cool

Its obvious youre young and don't know shit. I also find it honorable that you are at least making an attempt to learn more... Thats why I'm not gonna flame your ass and basically make fun of everything you posted in here. Its just sorta obvious you are frontin a little bit on your Hip Hop knowledge and I find that a little annoying

JACKMASTER

i mean i know a little bit...i think rakim is definetly a legend and a landmark in hip hop, not g.o.a.t but who cares if he hasnt done shit for 15 years...its about what he did do in that 5 year period like your saying

and pac's lyrics were never that appealing...im getting those songs you mentioned though

[Benefit]

in me against the world , such a slow beat and pac rapping fast, rhythm and tempo anyone?

i was actually waiting for jackmaster and qd to come in this thread lol and knew i was gunna get flamed but i just wanna see what others think..

that first list was a list of people on this cd i was burning...not G.o.a.t but good rappers in general.

[quickdodge®]

I never flamed. Later, QD.

[Sack Attack]

I like white rappers and amateur rappers myself....I like some mainstream rap also, but I like to keep it simple

[quickdodge®]

White rappers is an oxymoron. The only white rapper I will listen to is MC Serch and Pete Nice. And they aren't pure white. Later, QD.

I dunno....I dont like all that white rappers do but
eminem has his good songs
paul wall has his good ones
lil white has some good ones
hell icp even has good ones (although most dont consider them "rap")

[quickdodge®]

eminem has his good songs

I'm not a sheep and I just never thought he was that great.

paul wall has his good ones
lil white has some good ones

Someone hurry up and kill these two.

hell icp even has good ones (although most dont consider them "rap")

I'm one that doesn't consider them rap at all. More like shock rock. Later, QD.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to quickdodge® again.

[Julio]

What did Rakim do ? How is he a legend? I mean, Eric B and him could never out shine RUN DMC... Or Kurtis Blow... Who were hot around the mid to late 80's..

NOTHING.... he was/is wack... I mean.. when LL and Fresh prince steal your shine.. how good can you really be?

hahaha.
He was diffrent back in the Mid to late 80's because of his slow and raw delievery of his rhymes.... It was diffrent back then..
But You have to realize when he went solo around 90-91 or whatever year it was...
He was going against some Future HIP HOP GOATS.

[Julio]

And underground is turning into grabage to... I was a HUGE fan of underground hip hop...

But now all those MOFO's are rapping about the same shit.... ..
