(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Lately, I've been noticing all the bull shit music that a lot of people listen to which they consider "Rap." When in reality, it's just some dance song, or somebody talking about money. That's mostly like pop or hip hop. Though even hip hop is shameful today :n: Anyways, I decided to make a thread including some of my favorite artist that actually do real rap. By that, I mean song with dope lyrics, about something other than money and bitches.

Also, this list is made from who I like and listen to, if you guys have anybody that's worthy, I'll be happy to add them.

*I have a lot more artist that I will add later on*


I know who 2pac, Biggie, Big Pun, Nas...etc.. is.. Their not on the list because their well known. Not a lot of people know these types of rappers because their more underground based.

Felipe Andres Coronel (born February 19, 1978 ), better known by the stage name Immortal Technique, is an American rapper of Afro-Peruvian descent as well as an urban activist. He was born in Lima, Peru and raised in Harlem, New York. Most of his lyrics focus on controversial issues in global politics. The views expressed in his lyrics are largely a mixture of socialist commentary on issues such as class hierarchy, poverty, religion, government and institutional racism. Immortal Technique has voiced a desire to retain control over his production, and has stated in his music that record companies, not artists themselves, profit the most from mass production and marketing of music. He claimed in an interview to have sold close to 200,000 copies of his three official releases.

In 1999 the New Jersey rapper Jus Allah (James Bostick) joined the group to record the second studio album by JMT, Violent by Design but left shortly after for reasons that remain unexplained. The track "The Rebuilding" (2006) marked his unofficial return to JMT since the split, but made a full fledged return aside Vinnie Paz for the sixth studio album, A History of Violence (2008 ).

DJ Kwestion is also a part of the group, mainly scratching choruses on the turntable. Kwestion (or Kwes) is also a part of the group Skratch Makaniks. Kwestion was a replacement for JMT's previous tour DJ, Drew Dollars, who is no longer affiliated with the group.

[multipage=Eyedea()]

Eyedea []

Micheal Larse (November 9, 1981 – October 16, 2010), known by his stage name Eyedea, was a well-known freestyle battle champion and underground rapper. His notable wins included the televised Blaze Battle sponsored by HBO (2000) and a victory at Scribble Jam (1999). He had appeared as a solo artist, and as the emcee half of the duo Eyedea & Abilities (along with longtime friend and collaborator DJ Abilities). His non-battle rhymes were generally philosophically or thematically based, and often told a definite narrative.

*I can't add anymore pictures so from now on, I'm only going to add the artist and a few songs*

Eyedea is amazing guys, you guys should DEFINITELY CHECK HIM OUT! Sad to know such a lyrical legend has died.

Nope he raps fast an an stuff. :pedo:

I was heavily influenced by the whole west vs east thing.. so back then, I rarely listened to east coast rap. Even now, I only listen to a couple east coast rappers, like Nas. I'm starting to listen to more now though, and I've heard that song. I like their beats, creepy, murder style beats :y:

Added: Eyedea

its because of his voice

I didn't add Big L because many know him, don't take me wrong, hes a legend. .

immortal technique - dance with the devil is like heaven

Yea havoc makes the best beats all eric and creepy and just awesome havocs one of the best producers. I feel ya cause back in the day i used to shit on the mobb just cause pac dissed em but their nice s fucc. And the east is where its at yo all the legends are from the east. Even Pac is from the east coast originally. If ya lookin for some east coast artists to get into hit me up.

Yea dude. The east coast artist I mainly listen to are Nas, Jay Z, and Papoose.

Any other good ones?

Well of course Nas and hov their big names. Id reccomend getting all their albums if you dont already have them. Of course ima tell ya mobb deep cause the infamous and hell on earth are 2 straight up classics. some other east coast artists id say are:
AZ
BDP (boogie down productions) real old school
Big daddy kane
Big L
Black Moon
CNN (Capone N Noreaga)
Cassidy (if you like newer music)
Cormega
E Money bags, though he only put out one album before he got killed
Eric B and Rakim, and also rakim has some solo albums out that dont have that old school sound to them if your not too crazy about it
Fabolous, again if you a fan of newer rap
Gang Starr
Jadakiss
Jedi mind tricks, i think you already mentioned them tho
Jeru The Damaja
Kool G Rap, he came out in the late 80s and made still makes music so the first couple albums got a real old school sound to them
KRS One
Biggie of course
Noreaga (from CNN) his first solo cd is really good great beats
Nature, was associated with nas in the past, hes not too bad
O.C., Check out the jewelz album
Prodigy (from mobb deep) solo albums
And of course the WU tang clan.
however as far as the wu tang goes i mostly prefer their solo albums over their group albums. id recomend Method man, Ghostface killah, GZA, and Raekwon, they seem to be the members of the wu tang who most people tend to like. Such solo albums include classics as GZA-Liquid swords, MEthod Man-Tical, Ghostface-Ironman and Supreme Clientele, Rakewon-Only built 4 cuban linx,and his newly leaked album shaolin vs wu tang is actualy really good.
