Listen to Illmatic by Nas a silly amount as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GforGallo Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Saw them live once in Texas. Probably best gig I've ever been at. Saw them in Glasgow 2010 was a great gig, but I can imagine the us tours would be much better. Met them at hmv before too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cashgenerator Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The second, third and fourth GangStarr albums are amongst my most played. First few Aesop Rock albums.

GforGallo Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Gangstarr were fantastic, it's a shame how it all panned out. I rate Guru as a top 5 mc quite easily. Potentially controversial here, but I just don't get the love for liquid swords. Cannot listen to it all the way through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolf's Mate Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Public Enemy - Fear of a black planet Fight the power Thought the first 2 albums were the best. Sophisticated Bitch is my favourite track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tazio Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Handsome boy modelling School- so, how's your girl?Not sure if I'd call it a rap album but by Christ it's a great album. Paul's Boutique. It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back Deltron 3030 Also as a wildcard the Loud Rocks album. Lots of Wu Tang and metal types making a hell of a noise.

cosanostra Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Recently I've been playing Dr Lector by Action Bronson, Radioactive by Yelawolf, To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar, the 2nd Czarface LP, Compton by Dr Dre and the new Snoop Dog LP. The Snoop one isn't really hiphop and has very little rap but if you like 70's funk and disco, it's worth checking out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Salad Fingers Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) You'd be better getting Straight Outta Compton and Efil4zaggin. Had both of them. Still thought Greatest Hits was better. Str8 off the Streetz by Eazy E was pretty good also. Better that 187 um killa which, Real *********** G's aside, was dire.

frankblack Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Not a huge rap fan, but like Public Enemy. They are still releasing good records but don't get much recognition as they are "old skool". Looking forward to seeing them with The Prodigy in Glasgow. Should be some gig.

chester copperpot Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Since watching Straight outta Compton recently I've started listening to more old school rap stuff from back in my youth. I used to hate Ice Cubes stuff however have listened to his stuff recently and the guy's a bloody genius and am loving his stuff now.

Ryan Jarman Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Maybe not strictly rap, more hip hop, but I've been listening to Endtroducing by DJ Shadow & Donuts by J Dilla last few weeks. Downloaded 'Meow The Jewels' the other night but yet to give it a proper spin, just listened to bits and pieces so far. Obviously pretty quirky but from what I've tuned into sounds alright.
