well first of all i don't think usher is rap :confused: but if you're asking hip hop/r&b, i'd have to say jagged edge, ashanti, mya, aaliyah, lots more ( i love r&b).. as far as rap goes, i like ludacris, ja rule, dre, snoop, and there's a lot of Christian rappers out there i like (but ya'll probably have never heard of them, so i won't even mention them)

There's something wrong when the best rapper in the world is white (Eminem) and the best golfer in the world is black (Tiger Woods). =] Eminem was demmed the best American wordsmith since Bob Dylan says the Washington Times...

YA i like eminem too, snoop is ok, but i honestly think hes almost done for...same for dre i mean they'll always produce and star in other songs but i think for the most part there done making CD's...:bow: 2 Pac (R.I.P.) is great i love all his songs..even the ones that come out years after his death which i disagree with even though they are good songs....let the guy rest..making money of a dead guy..holy Sh*t.....give me a break

Best lyricist is Eminem. I also like NAS, Dre, Cam'Ron, Nappy Roots cause they are from Kentucky. And a few others.

Eminem, Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri (because damn near everyone is on his albums)

Those are the ones that stick out in my head. I like ICP, Twiztid, & Kottonmouth Kings, but I don't know that they really fit the rap category. That and you can only listen to them for short periods at a time.

I hate Eminiem..

The ones I like are : Fat Joe, Ja Rule, Nas, Busta, & Diddy also makes nice stuff from time to time.

Rap-Eminem, Ja, Missy Elliot, Nappy Roots, Nelly, Ludacris, Jay Z, JD....

R&B-112, JE, Alicia Keys (does she fit in R&B?), Aalyiah, Usher, Nicole Wray....

and there are a bunch of new artists breakin into the scene that I like the songs they have out now but I don't wanna jump to conclusions sayin that I really like them off of one song. Like I like Still Fly by Big Tymers, and the new one from the Ya Ya twins (i think thats what they are called)....I watch MTV and BET when I have off work in the evenings to pick up new songs.

Eminem all da way after listening to his new album, it's rock. Hey wat not to like about da guy, he's talented, wrote his own songs and all. He also can sure rap, if not the best at least better than most rapper all there rite now singing all these junks and meaningless songs.

Not to make this post about eminem and who likes him and who doesn't...but....Whether I agree with what he is saying or not, I still gotta respect the guy. He's gettin paid for sayin what he believes. No matter how controversial he is with his lyrics, the man still has talent. He doesn't worry about who he offends because he is being true to himself and what he believes is right and true. Which deserves respect. How many other people can say that? Not too many I'm sure. And there are even fewer that can say that they get paid for saying what they think is true and not being ashamed for it.

couldn't agree more with ya there. He is a crazy mofo but (as far as we know) he is saying what hes thinking/believes in.

Thats partly why i like his music, because he doesn't front... well incomparision to other rappers.

Atmosphere, dope group

06-12-2002, 10:59 PM

Atmosphere is no longer a group, i thought they broke up a year ago. Slug is pretty good. Umm who the **** likes Ja Rule????? Eminem is ok although i don't like his beats too much. Nas, biggie, the old snoop, dre (although he DID jack all of his beats). Umm i guess the old dmx, some xhibit, nelly is ok sometimes, oh of course i like everybody in Wu-Tang (yes, even ODB), i like noreaga for no reason at all, I hate tupac for no reason at all, ludicrous is ok, outkast is good but a little too different for me at least (of course being different is what makes them good). Thats just the new artists, i like alot of the old stuff but i haven't had time to listen to alot of music lately... oh yeah, how do you think nelly is hot? he's missing like 5 front teeth

Swisha House...( don't know if any of you have heard ofthis...i mainly like lil flip...some other guys are ok...most things chopped and screwed are alright...(if you're into it...it's an aquired taste...especially for a white boy)

the reason ja rule sucks is because he sold out. when he first cam out, way back when, he was this little thug that you could listen a be like " damn that verse was tight". now, all he does is have some r&b chick sing the hook and his rhymes have turned to garbage.

06-13-2002, 02:17 PM

i still like his beats.... and most of of his songs are ok...i like the way he raps....

Exactly.
I must agree that Ja Rule has turned more into a chic machine.
Like Holla Holla was his best song I must agree. Now all he sings is about love and his chics. hehe not that I mind, since his videos feature them (Ashanti in Down 4 U :eek: :bow: ), but still, I'd rather have Ja somewhat back to his older ways.

DsBlu01CivEX

06-13-2002, 06:49 PM

I like Ja cuz his voice is damn sexy....ummm deep voices....it's like Vin Diesel or Barry White. No woman can resist a deep sexy voice!

And I forgot a R&B artist I like....Montell Jordan...he's got some good songs.

06-14-2002, 12:42 AM

anything country scores high with me, nappy roots,outkast, and ludacris are way up there with me eminem scores high 2pac greatest of all time nas can flow bone thugs are my favorite group of all time but if we get into r&b then jagged edge boys 2 men own that category

:edit: NELLY i forgot to mention nelly and St luatics! yes its feel good rap but the lyrics are awsome great cruisin music!! and the beats and half bad!

I'm not a fan of commercial hip hop much like Nelly or Ludacris but if it's being bumped at a party i won't mind.

I listen to Swollen Members, Copywrite and his Crew, Apathy and the Demi Godz and many many more underground artists. I'm still a big Eminem and Jay Z fan though, gotta give respect to these guys.
