I hate it when people mix up hip hop with rap .
Like Ja rule aint no hip hop artist and neither is eminem.
I guess thats how asians feel when we call them chinese,when theres many differant races in asia.And that how I feel when brown people call me goda .
ja rule is pop, eminem is rap :PQuote:

I like rap, I dont like hip-hop :) (at least not as much as RAP)
Esham.
Cant forget him. From detroit, has like 20 CDs and inspired a buncha ppl including mad clown posse (even though they suck sham is still good).
the nearest to what i consider rap music that i listen to (that doesnt make sense lol) is Mark B & Blade and DJ Format. two british acts, i dont like the sound of american hip-hop or rap apart from the beastie boys. try get some off me on soulseek if ya like
rass kass deserves more props than he does currently

Sadat x anybody from Rawkus records Talib Mos def Common , Funk Master Flex,
Brand nubian,Hi Tek,Dj Premier,Dj honda ...Off the mic is a classic.
Pharoahe monch,Guru,Beatnuts .
Definately agree that Ras Kass doesn't get the credit he deserves. He's a top rapper!! Rawkus Records have put out some of the best records of the last few years, they recently did some heavyweight VINYL re-presses and I was lucky enough to pick them up. All good tunes and the sound quality, or should that be Kwelity, is amazing. The bass is booming!! :lol:
Dead Prez, Edan, Anti-Pop Consortium, The Roots - all are brilliant in my opinion.
Also, I was watching a documentary I have on video when I got in from work earlier and on it AFRIKA BAMBAATAA says, and I'm paraphrasing here, that "Hip-Hop is the collective name for the scene which consists of Breaking, Graffiti, Deejaying, Clothes and RAPPING". I can't really say it any better than that. How can you be into Rap and not be into Deejaying?? That's 2 down, only 3 to go and then we've got you!! :lol:
I love RAP and I love HIP-HOP. To me they are not mutually exclusive.
Keep on Keepin' on.
High and mighty ,and A+ hip hop greats
For hardcore rap with a bit of humor are the gravediggaz. They don't get too much airplay to say the least.
Also, for the underground goodies, I would like to add Blueprint to the mix.
And some famous rich ones that you still don't hear much about.
