There's too many to mention. Here's a couple off the top of my head...

50 cent p.i.m.p.

I don't know how, but for some reason I've gotten contacts with the top rap/hip-hop record labels and I know jack shit about playing an instrument.

I used to listen to it before it got all 'murder/death/steal/pimp' you get tired of that shit after a while.

I remember almost 30 years ago when rap/hip hop first hit the scene in NY.

My faves go back to then: Cold Crush Bros. Grand Master Flash, Rakim.

I like all kinds of music but gotta give the hip hop credit as the most expansive and lucrative pound for pound music genre ever.

Hey, the rich schools wouldn't give the inner city kids instruments so they had to make music with their minds. Goes to show ya the power of human creativity.

"Don't test" - Raw Fusion

And yet there's morons who say rap isn't an artform? Did they ever hear a kid freestyle on the streetcorner? Could THEY do it? I don't think so.

Thanks for the laugh. Most of the best white rockers grew up dirt poor.

Anthrax "Bring The Noise"
GWAR "Slaughterama"

Who said the inner city school kids I mentioned 'weren't' white? Some of em' were. The post is about rap not race til YOU brought it up.

So laugh at that.

Well said G Man. It was astounding to watch guys imitate every intrument known to man on the fly and by ear!!!

We used to challenge them by saying, " Can you do a xylophone? or glauconspiel? " ( check spelling on them ).

and dudes could PERFORM without flaw.

I've seen guys with no records, no instruments keep a party going for HOURS with just vocals! It was a riot.

Biz Markiie is a master of this. He did lots of light hearted songs. Human Beat Box/Fat Boys too. Really amazing stuff.

Buck that devil.
