Haha. Wierd, I was listening to Brisco and I saw your avatar and I started this thread. I figured you were a rap fan.

I also mainly listen to mixtapes. I've got a few sites that I check on a daily basis to see what's good. I'll pm you.

Who do you listen to?

I'm not a big Kanye fan, I listen to more hard shit.

puffy?? lmao your kidding right? and i was a huge 50 fan b4 but lately his shits wak.. he says once his contract is dropped from aftermath in 2 years he'll do what HE wants.

[FranKieC]

Biggy!

JayZ

Nas

Em

Dre

Pac

[Titleist]

Diddy/P. Diddy/Sean Combs/Puffy, etc.. is a good businessman, but a HORRIBLE rapper/lyricist.

50cent- I never got into the fan craze type shit with him. I think he's fake. Fact- after he got shot all those times he didn't do shit about it. He got one of his friends to take care of it for him. Later, that friend went to jail(unrelated matter) and needed money to post bail. This was around the time that 50 was blowin up, and 50 didn't help him at all, didn't give him a dime. I've never liked the dude.

Eminem- I don't listen to him, but he is a good lyricist.

[Titleist]

Biggy! One of the greats.

JayZOne of the best lyricists of all time.

NasSame as Jay.

EmCan't knock his hustle. First white rapper to not be laughed at.

DreThe Chronic.

PacVery smart dude. His lyrics were amazing, especially the stories he told. One of my favorites.

Some good picks.

[305GUY]

those are all classics but whos hot right now?

Ross

lil wayne

kanye (dropping soon)

Jeezy (needs to step his game up though)

R&B is hot now but not really my steez..

lupe fiasco (fire)

Nerd

and anything reppin the 305

[305GUY]

absolutely..

I've never liked the dude..

Funny thing is most people dont realize he was never even shot 9 times. He counts his bullet exit holes as shots lmao.. but i liked him b4 he blew up (mixtape scene) cant hate on him cause he has the flow and the business mentality. i just dont like how he strats trying people right b4 his album drops. .[/QUOTE]

Eminem- I don't listen to him, but he is a good lyricist.

The best at everything from beats to lyrics...nuff said

[305GUY]

i'll tell you what i cant stand though.. those little hip hop pop songs for little kids like lipgloss or someshit like that.. it makes me sick

[Titleist]

I agree.

Ross- FAKE, but he has BEATS. Every one of his songs have a good beat. A friend of mine went to work in Miami for a couple of months not too long ago and met a bunch of local rappers that said Rick Ross was the fakest around.

Wayne- HOT son. I have every one of his mixtapes. Crazy lyrics, "Dear Mr. Toilet, I'm the shit..." On top of the rap game right now IMO.

Kanye- not really my style, but he's a good lyricist.

R&B isn't really my scene either, but Lupe is good and I always liked NERD. Pharell(The Neptunes) have got some wild beats.

305- You gotta check out Brisco and Flo-Rida bro. Of course Trick Daddy.
You heard "I'm from Dade County" or "I'm So Hood"?

[Titleist]

Bubblegum rap, I hate it. It's all over the clubs where I live.

wow bro never heard anything about him being fake in my life.. I do agree hes not much of a lyricist but he did start his hustle from the bottom and worked his way up to the top. i really dont get whats fake about him but i cant hate cause he helped put the 305 on the map.

I can't say much, because I'm not in MIA, but it's obvious the shit he raps about is not real. I mean dude says he's making 100g a month or something like that moving (you know). He get's his name from Freeway Ricky Ross, one of the biggest dealers of (you know) in American history.

It's been on a lot of rap websites(allhiphop.com) that he's faker than silicone.

Not knocking you, just saying what I've heard/read.

yeah he's open about taking that name. Did you know 50 cent took his name from some old school drug dealer from NY. honestly i dont give a crap as long as they produce hot shit that either makes the bitches go crazy in the club or make me put my system up in my truck and jam to their lyrics..

you should really start jamming to Kanye bro.. him commom, talib kwali, lupe fiasco, consequence, mos def, cant remember others right now.. but those are the muthafackas who spit fire lyrics.. not that 24" rims and having guns bullshit.. oh and the roots are the shit especially live..

[5ifthCitizen]

nobody for krayzie bone/bone thugs?

[forgione]

if youre really interested in talib kweli and mos def, make sure you check out the blackstar album (self titled). really great stuff, my cousin introduced me to it recently and its great.

[maxiimus]

shit too many out there

but PAC takes the cake hands down!!!

love his work

[K.Biz]

Oh man we got a lot of what I like to call POP rap fans. POP rap would include - 50, g-unit, new jay-z, eminem (anything after the eminem show), lupe, lil wayne, wheezy, i can go for days!!!

Im more of a battle rap kind of guy. not actual battle raps but more metaphors and punch line rapping. or as most people like to call it UNDERGROUND. which is where the real rap is at. I hate rap that talks about chains and BS, rap before platnium (ice age) was so good, now its all "look at my rims and look at this chain that spins" blah blah blah.

[MFT81]

Remember in like the mid 90's it was easy to choose who you listened to, either you liked Jr. Mafia, or Death Row

Now there are new rappers every 15mins

[WEBB]

Redman and Method, JayZ, Kanye...

Did i forget Vanilla Ice too....

[FranKieC]

Some good picks.

Holla at ya boy haha

[Titleist]

I love Vanilla Ice....

You would.

[TR'05]

Shoot, I was gonna name my go-to list, but K. Biz pretty much covered them all.

Right now I've got a timeless mix of hip hop albums sitting in my car:

GZA- Liquid Swords
Wu- 36 Chambers
Common Sense- Ressurection
Talib- Reflection Eternal
Zion I- Mind over Matter
Meth- Tical
Mos- Black on both sides
Blackstar
Nas- Illmatic

I love my classics.

[domeyeahaigh]

Slim thug mixtapes and Paul wall mixtapes are always good.

[rubix6]

i love ludacris

[stocky121]

the game at the mo

powerhouse antham is the shit at tho mo with omar and w.c.

[domeyeahaigh]

how bout the geto boys?

[number twelve]

Hahaha, twelve going old school on us.

What about Pac(greatest rapper of all time).

i never got into pac to be honest. big is one of the few rappers that i listen to

[2gunzup11]

messy marv yukmouth guce husalah jacka rydah mac dre dubee
all bay shit!

[stacked566]

Jeezy- agreed that he needs to step it up tho

The game

TI- that big things poppin song is the tits...for now :-)

DMX/Ruff Ryders/Swizz Beatz- good stuff from a couple years back

Lloyd Banks

Jay Z- kingdom come disc 1 and the black album

[testisbest]

lil wayne, jeezy, and B.G. have got to be on top of my play list. Jeezy's snow man album is great to train to. I also like lil boosie and webbie as well as UGK. I'm a southern boy, BTW.

[Titleist]

Okay, here's who I listen to. I'll try to keep it short.

Lil Wayne- Top of the rap game right now, IMO.
Jeezy/USDA/Slick Pulla/Blood Raw- Jeezy's as real as they get. He's got a ton of street cred.
Project Pat/3 6 Mafia/Crunchy Black- Been listening to them since their old albums.
Jody Breeze/Gorilla Zoe/Big Gee/Big Duke- Good shit. Some real hard beats and Zoe and Big Gee have got some crazy vocals.
TI- He has made so many hits. Every one of his albums has been sick.
Big Kuntry/Young Dro- Dro's got good vocals, but his album was garbage. Big Kuntry hasn't dropped yet, but I'm betting it's gonna be a fire album. He's already way hyped and every song of his on the mixtape scene is blowin up.
BG/Juvenile/C-Murder- Always been a fan of both of these guys, even though Juvie isn't doin much. BG's had some good snippets on mixtapes lately. C-Murder is makin a comeback too, his album from jail was ill.
Brisco/FloRida- "Birthday": check that song out by FloRida. Brisco had a nasty mixtape not too long ago.
Plies- Ill. Can't wait for his album to drop. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.
Al Gator- unsigned, but he has mad potential. His last mixtape was great.
Willie the Kid- Just started listening to some his stuff and it's good so far.

Of course some classics:
2pac
Eightball & MJG
UGK
Snoop/Dre
NWA
etc...

That's all I can think of off of the top of my head.

[INM]

Ill Bill and Necro!
(Non Phixion too)

[FranKieC]

Liquid swords was a sick album!

I loved alot of the solo shit the fellas from the WU put out!

How about the lost boyz?? They put out a few good jams.
