Unless you count Hollywood Undead as rap. Then there's a lot more.

Man I love Little Wayne.

Might be because I'm from NOLA and he throws us more shout outs in one song than marshmallows in a box of lucky charms, but he's got some pretty incredible stuff too. Anybody who's given Carter II a good listen, or really branched out from what gets played on the radio will see that too. Sure, he's got that dirty south style in a lot of his stuff, but there is some real legitimatize hip hop he puts out too. Don't be so jaded.

Here's some stuff that got me to appreciate him

Receipt. Listen tot his one if you're going to listen to any of these links.

Still, I can understand if this isn't everyone slice o' pie, but do go and us him as the go to "MUSIC SUCKS TODAY OMG" candidate. there are much better targets out there.

Rise from your grave thread!

Anyway, I'm not bit on country either, but Junior Brown produces some good stuff.

I like me some occasional country punkcourtesy of the Meat Puppets as well. And the song that too many people probably think Nirvana wrote.

Ok, I couldn't take much of that. Sounds like he's rapping in front of a radio in the garage and that had no flow to me. Neither did the other two. I'm no rap connoisseur, but I do enjoy some things every now and then.

Eric B & Rakim
Microphone Fiend
Follow the Leader

Dr Octagon
Blue Flowers

Heck, Pop Will Eat Itself wasn't even a rap band and this song has more flow IMHO.

To each their own, but that Lil Wayne stuff was just a disjointed mess to me.

I paid attention to the first post and nothing more and I am wondering if anyone listened to The Carter IV?

Huge Hip Hop fan, not too big on rap.

Not a fan of any performer with the sur name lil, but that's just me. Probably because I'm also not a fan of lazy lyrics, especially ref lyrics which seem to drown the industry these days. Not clever, not original. But I don't hate it, it's just not my bag.

Lyrics like:

"I trace you like a stencil,
I'm no 1, you no.2, pencil"-Luke Original

Are nonsensical and are easy to duplicate. I could wax on this subject all day and come up with stupid rhymes, but with no actual meaning, I don't see the point. That in mind I'm all for every artist making it. If you have the audience, may as well take advantage of them. But me, I'll keep listening to Tribe until I hear more true Hip Hop.

"Rap is something you do. Hip Hop is something you live"- KRS-One

I told you about the Kool Keith/Dr.Octagon concert I went to right?

In short, it was delayed because Keith was bagging lunches for the crowd. I'll elaborate if I haven't already told this story.
