YouTube - NWA - Chin Check Remix ][Mc Ren Dr Dre Ice Cube Eazy E][=

man if your white and listen to rap you need to go head and get you some paul wall,he gotta alot of underground mixtape with chamillionaire,lil flip,mike jones,old school swisha house o.g. ron c and dj mike watts nothing like being blazed and listening to skrewed and chopped music those from houston can feel me,bun-b, ugk,or the lox,styles p,sheek jadakiss,any diplomats first stuff was hot as well as camron,big l, underground mixtapes way hotter then commercial hip hop

Little Wayne, T.I., Young Jeezy, M.F. Doom, DangerMouse, D.J. Kahled, Collie Buddz, Damien Marley, Elephant Man, Beanie Man...the last three are dancehall rap but still really amazing especially the Damien Marley albums "Halfway Tree" and "Welcome to Jamrock"

This is gonna sound lame but my favorite rapper of all time has to be a guy called 'Cannibus.'

Not because of the name..he's just good.

Yeah, he's great. Too bad I haven't heard anything from him in a while. I actually thought he won the battle between him and L.L., 'L was given the nod just because of his status and respect gathered through out his career. Anyway, I'll just list some. Biggie and Pac getting the obligatory spot not listed.

(vintage) Bone
Devin the Dude
Scarface
Luniz
Ded Prez
Lil Wayne
Trill Ent. (Boosie, Webbie, Fox, Big Head)
Kanye (been feelin' him lately, as opposed to iffy earlier years)
Pastor Troy
Talib Kweli
Comon
Mos Def
Slum Village

You MUST listen to Enter the Wu-tang (36 Chambers) by the Wu-Tang clan.

The Wu-Tang is a must.


Your rap tastes seem very similar to mine, so you will probably like them.

Here is something you should also look at,

Hardcore hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That link is a list of DOZENS of artists you would enjoy.

The genre of music you are looking at is called either Gangsta Rap or Hardcore Hip-hop.

Take care, my nigga (KIDDING).
