Pretty much. Lupe as well though.
he needs examples of Hip Hop,
not this
It's gotta be catchy or they are not gonna like it, amatuer hip hop listeners are not looking for lyrics there looking for beats.Improbus
Word, it's not that they don't care, it's just they don't have the ear for it.
usually something like Outkast's Aquemini... it's an easy listen and catchy like Improbus stated yet it still has lyrics to back it up and it is a lot more musically progressive than other cIassic albums like Ready to Die, Illmatic, Paid in Full, or 36 Chambers.Orlando_Magic
Any rap fan that (mainly dudes) that has problems getting into Ready to Die needs to be speared with a zulu stick. Most of my friends love Life After Death.
It's gotta be catchy or they are not gonna like it, amatuer hip hop listeners are not looking for lyrics there looking for beats.Improbustrue story. that's why I'd recommend anything by 9th wonder, Pete Rock, Madlib, or J Dilla.

Seriously, someone can read this thread looking for hip hop reccomendations, and end up being Flobot lovers.

I dont get it?
Lupe has gotten more people into rap than you can say for most if not all those people on that list.
Besides he has sick rhymes, nice beats, and catchy songs.

I find it funny that you people are the same ones who try to defend rap music from people in the OT yet the second someone disagrees with what you're saying you act just like the OT people.
BTW, I dont like metal music, but seeing as how you limit yourself to a dying genre of music I guess you dont have much to talk about. I was asked to join this Union to express a love for hip-hop, but I can already see why this place has barely anyone posting in it; Idiotic elitists like you two above who think they know people's mucsical tastes.
You just got yourself one less person posting in this lifeless union. May this pathetic union and its pathetic people rot.
