well off-topic isnt exactly the place to hear good things about Rap...

Most people either like a genre or they dont....im guessing if he would ever like rap he probably would have already found some stuff he liked...

Anyways....if he only like rock and stuff, this song might be good

Eminem - Sing for the Moment

oooooo gd question.

First of all give him some Native Tongues so he realises Hip-Hop isn't all guns, money, violence blah blah blah

Nice little playlist

De La Soul - Magic Number. Eye Know, Me Myself & I, A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays, My Brother's a Basehead, Pass the Plugs

A Tribe Called Quest - After Hours, Bonita Applebum, Can I Kick It?, Butter, Jazz, Award Tour, Electric Relaxation, The Chase Pt. II

Digable Planets - Where I'm From, Rebirth of the Slick, Last of the Spiddyocks, Nickel Bags, Art of Easing

BD Kane - It's a Big Daddy Thing, Another Victory, Young Gifted & Black, Smooth Operator, Warm It Up kane

PE - Just get "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back"

Gang Starr - Who's Gonna Take the Wreight?, Lovesick, Take a Rest, Just to Get a Rep, Ex Girl to Next Girl, Soliloquy of Chaos, No Shame in My Game, Conspiracy

Why? Doesn't he have the right to like what he wants?LJS9502_basic

Certain people can do with exposure to things that they don't normally do/listen to/experience etc.

When you look at it, rap sucks for what it has turned into to.

I'm a metal/rock lover.

What artists/albums/songs do you recommend?whos_next000

Rock listeners are some of the most stubborn people you'll find when it comes to musical taste. ;)

Give up. :P

Why? Seems arrogant to me to tell someone they need exposure to something else.

I recommend you leave your friend and his great taste in music alone! stevendiep_100

not all rock is good, hardcore and heavy metal are considered rock, not to mention the dreadful screamo

Because they might find they enjoy it and feel glad that someone pointed it out.

Actually...that tends to make them more resistent. If he's going to like it...he'll discover it on his own.

Well from personal experience I have found that to not be the case. I'm not talking about ramming something down someones throat (or in this case ears).

Anyway whosnext.....the hip hop I listen to is by Rakim, Tupac, Nas, Kanye, Immortal Technique, Talib Kweli, Dr Dre and LLCoolJ, Eminem on occasion.

Try some of that....seemed an easy transition for me.

old skool rap is the bomb, start with that, like bel biv devoe (i think thats how it is... i dont remember his name)garrett_duffman

That's New Jack Swing. :|

TC did your friend ask you to provide him with some dope Hip-Hop? Is he willing to try it or are you just trying to get him to like it?

I thought you hated Hip-Hop. :o

Jurassic 5. I listen to metal, but i always have time for some J5!Severed_Hand

If he's into rock then there's pretty much no chance he'll like rap/hip-hop. Just let him listen to the style of music that he wants to.Taegukki

I don't understand that. They're differentstyles of music eachto be enjoyed on their own terms. A lot of rock fansdo actually make the effort to get into Hip-Hop.
