I know I'll catch hell for posting this here, but oh well fuck it.
I've always liked A Tribe Called Quest and Black Eyed Peas, and lately that punk $.50 has been growing on me.
Can anyone recommend any "underground" rap music?  While I like SOME of what I've heard on the radio, alot of it is crap, and I'm not really into the whole Puffy/Fresh Prince thing.

OutKast, Timbaland & Magoo, Clipse, Ludacris, Missy, and you'll never be dissapointed with 2Pac or Notorious BIG.........and you're right 50 Cent is definately worth listening to.

50 cent is a piece of shit, as are pretty much all other "rap artists".

Just my opinion.

You can single-handedly thank these bastards, gangs and MTV for the hatred of guns in todays world.

Try some aesop rock, del the funky homosapien, digable planets, de la soul, binary star, heather b, tribe called quest is always good, people under the stairs.  Kazaa should have em all.  Try undergroundhiphop.com for samples from just about everything.

FUCK, NO!

Rap is crap.  It's worse than that.  It's the worst excuse for making money without having anything of value to contribute in all of history,  right after  basketball, football, and baseball.  

CURLING is a more socially useful and relevant activity than rap!

I listen to MUSIC. That leaves rap OUT.    I'll listen to everything from heavy metal (death, speed, hardcore,  speedcore, classic) to classical to jazz.  But no rap, no way!

Alright,   Maybe I should have been more clear.  I did say I like Tribe & Black Eyed Peas.
I downloaded some of this Necro guy. I honestly could do without some guy with songs called "All Hotties Eat the Jizz".  While it is mildly amusing, I was actually looking for some musical talent and/or inovation.  Some dipshit trying to shock people gets pretty boring pretty quickly (anybody remember Marilyn Manson?)

Don't hate what you don't know. You sound just like the old folks in the 1950's saying rock 'n roll wasn't music. I assure you there is more musicianship in one Outkast or Nappy Roots song than most death metal or speedcore, and I used to be a headbanger back in the day. 3 chords played on a guitar tuned so low it sounds like elepant farts and some guy atonally bellowing "SHITFUCKBITCHCOCKSLUT" does not a song make.

My recommendations.

Atmosphere - The Woman With The Tattooed Hands


if you can find those two mp3s I guarantee you'll like them.  It's not gangster rap or any of that crap and very listenable

I know what rap is.  I've heard enough to be quite certain.   It's shit.  Nothing else.  Pure shit, and that's all.   Nothing I'd want to take home or have to listen to.

Nobody here will live long enough for me to start liking rap.   Not even your great-grandchildren will live long enough to see me start liking rap. I't simply impossible.     The sun will burn out and fall to a mean surface temperature of absolute zero before I start to like rap.  And that won't EVER happen while the universe exists.

That shit disgusts me to the very core of my being.   It's objectionable to me on so many different levels that even I don't understand exactly why I hate it so.

I realize that there are degrees of rap/hip hop, and there is probably a point at which I don't object to a little bit of it in other music, but don't make the mistake of thinking I would ENJOY that.  I'd just tolerate it as a non-enjoyable part of the music and try to ignore it as I would a tambourine in a recording. (Another useless musical invention if ever there was one...)



There is something fundamentally wrong with our society when people with literally no MUSICAL talent at all can make a lot of money in the musical industry as a performer.

Rhyming to a beat is not music.  Not ever.
