The Hip Hop/Rap/R&B Thread :)

This is a thread for Hip Hop/Rap/R&B fans. To begin this thread what is your favorite song. Who's your favorite singer?

I'm not sure who's my favorite singer but my favorite song is Got Money by Lil Wayne ft T-Pain. I know the whole song by heart.

I see, I don't think your genre is too popular here. That or the fans just have not noticed the thread yet.

I mean I also personally can't pick any I like except I like big butts lol! Oh and an unholy crapload of J-pop and K-pop. Probably best that I can't understand it.

I think they're laughing at you liking a Lil Wayne song.
I'm laughing at you liking Eazy E.

Seriously though, no offense, but it seems like you don't know much about rap.
The only rap I really listen to anymore is Tech N9ne. I feel like I've already heard everything else.

I see. Yeah, I'm not a big hip-hop, rap, R&B person so I wouldn't know about Lil' Wayne or Soulja Boy...

I might consider Tech N9ne now that you've mentioned it.

You are laughing at him liking Eazy-E when you like Tech N9ne?
I could never take Tech N9ne seriously after I heard the song "I'm a Playa".
Eazy-E on the other hand is a legend.

Not that big of a rap fan but I do like some, like Dr. Dre's The Chronic. Looking forward to his next album even though it probably wont be out until a couple decades from now.


By the way please don't include Soulja Boy in any discussion about rap. He's not a rapper; he's just had one too many and somebody made the mistake of handing him a microphone.

Here is one of my favorites by him:

I suggest you read the lyrics as he goes along:
Spoiler Alert!


His raps are usually really complex with a lot of subtleties.

Listen to that song and read those lyrics.
I respect Eazy E for some of what he did, but he was no rapper. His mother goose flow cannot hold a candle to Tech N9ne.

That's how all old school rap was. Just because he doesn't rap fast like Tech does in that song, doesn't mean he doesn't have flow.
The flow of his lyrics goes very well with his songs.

The song you posted wasn't bad, but like I said before I can't take Tech N9ne serious after hearing "I'm a Playa". And I don't think his style is all that complex, he just reads it line at a time, pausing after each the word he's rhyming.

You don't understand. Tech only occasionally raps fast. The complexity is there in the multi-syllabic and internal rhyme, and the constant change in devilery.
I completely understand if Tech's stuff isn't for you, though. I won't try to convert you.

I do, however, feel like saying that Eazy just raps like everyone used to is a bad excuse for his bad rapping. If everyone just rapped like everyone else, where is the progression? What would make anyone stand out?
Eazy is a legend for being one of the first to be so blunt with NWA. He didn't even write the verses he is known for. Like I said, he was no rapper.

Well yeah, he raps fast then slow; to me that doesn't define good flow. Good flow is when you can make a good transition between lines. A bit complex at parts, but he doesn't ever really make his lines flow together.

You were saying that Eazy had mother goose like flow, but I think you just don't like old school rap. His flow is fine if you ask me, he ties his lines together pretty well at points. He just pronounces his words more clearly like most old school rappers. But I don't really know too much about Eazy, so whatever.

My location? Do you mean that people in other countries think that rap music ain't good? In that case why the hell did they even post in this thread if they are going to be posting negative stuff and dizzing on what people like and who they listen too. The Boondocks is a good animation that may fit. I'm Hispanic too read my signature if you know Spanish.

I didn't like that song by whatever his name was. I didn't know what he said. I had to read the lyrics in order to understand what he said.

T.I. is by far better than him.
