of all times? Shakespear had some pretty funky prose. I'd reckon that Jesus dude that religious cult keeps harping on about would have had a way with words. |

You know, one of Greek's most famous musicians says that Homer was the first and ever best wrapper. It's true, from one side, because both the Iliad and the Odyssey are written in a metre that is suburb for wrapping! When I was in high school, we use to paraphrase the Iliad with "naughty" rhymes, speaking the verses in such a way that sounded like rapping! and this is because of the metre it was written in! |

Right. I forgot how ripe "Crunk juice, walk it out" is with metaphor. Calling mainstream rap "music" is an insult to music. Just like calling mainstream rappers "artists" is an insult to artists. There is rap that I like, but it's so far removed from what the genre is today, I'm not sure it should even be called rap. Then again, maybe it should, and mainstream rap should be the group to rename. After all, they're the ones who suck. --- |

A few years ago, B.B. King (the blues master) said rap provides an outlet for people with no sense of harmony. I can't find that quote now, probably he asked them to be taken down before he was the victim of a drive-by shooting. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Don't forget that Rap is just a small part of Hip-Hop culture. Other music genres to have come from Hip-Hop include Electro and House and their many descendants (the ones with no lyrics sound like instrumental rap-songs). Here's a list of some of my favourite rap and Hip-Hip songs (old-skool and golden age - all from the 80's). Here are some of my favourite Rap songs:
Other favourite Hip-Hop songs:

Probably the best rap song ever made (other than Ice Ice Baby) would be the ending credits song to the first Ninja Turtles movie. That song kicked ass. The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

1) Jigglypuf (he's the hardest nigger in the whole ghetto, a good freestyler and he even does graffiti) These artists are all pretty hardcore but they are also completely underground on their secret websites on steroids, so you may not have any of their CDs yet. A complete shame because this is some of the best music of all time, not only rap but just music in general. I'd put Woll Smoth at number 6, just after these guys. (\ /) |

I will never understand rapper names. Jigglypuf? The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

I'm really not a fan of rap, but if I had to choose, I'd pick Everlast. I really like the song "What It's Like." by him. TeamTerradactyl: SevalecanDragon: I should shoot you for even CONSIDERING coding like that, but I was ROFLing too hard to stand up. I love it! |

While rap isn't my favourite genre, I do like a lot of rap that came out of the mid to late 90's. So my list would be:

Quote: Sir Mix A Lot - Ironman [youtube.com] - The best Rap/Heavy-Metal crossover ever! This is the video-remix which IMO is better than Sir Mix A Lot's original. Oh my god, he's right! -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

Ignore the naysayers; hip hop is made of win and awesome. Here are my top 5: 5) De La Soul (yes, I know that's more than one rapper) Other favourites include (or have included in the past), but aren't limited to: Cannibal Ox, Asheru, Styles of Beyond, Everlast, Kool Keith/Dr. Octagon/whatver pen name he has now, Queen Latifah, Kurtis Blow, Kool Moe Dee, Roxanne Chante, Ice Cube, Q Tip, and whoever made the song 'Cry For Us' (name escapes me at the moment, can't be bothered to go look) EDIT: I fail for omitting Weird Al, who sort of deserves #1 also. --------------------------------------------- |

Quote: The best white rapper I know is KJ 52 Never thought I'd see axilmar endorse a Christian rapper. O_o In that vein, T-Bone and John Rueben are also pretty good as Christian plain white rappers go. -- |
