Rap fans: guide me to some good tunes..
 

Give me a few suggestions of stuff i should pick up.

I like decent produced rap with a lot of blingbling and westside in it.

Nothing from before 2001 and the sound quality should be decent
(not too underground..mtv style!!).

We have Jayz.. Nas.. what more?

no whitey

some "good tunes" lol...

well jay z and nas are east coast not west :2 cents:

cool down yo

Oh well. .whats the fucking difference.. i meant.. gangster rap!

Tunes i can learn by heart to sound cool on the street yo

i recommend Redman and Method Man - Blackout Its an album put out by both of them from around 2000 I think. Its awsome, but not "bling bling" garbage

50 cent - my toy soldier
Nerd - lapdance

you will never sound cool on the street if you say "tunes" and you will look better if you know the lyrics to MC's with talent :2 cents:

send > ipaq.. thanks

My looks will compensate that all yo..no worries.

Tunes is oldskool btw.. Puff uses it..

BTW Anything from N.E.R.D kicks ass! Pharrell is the smarters producer alive! Every song he touches is GOLD! Seriously, every single song he has produced was a hit. He made one mistake though -- bringing out his own shoes. I dont know what it was called cream, ice cream? Anyone remember?

i-20 - backstage
camron - down and out
too short - i need a freak
snoop - do you wanna roll
dj quick - let me know
roscoe - smooth sailing
bad azz - how we get down
ti - south coast player



should keep the hoes happy for an hour.

there is nothing good after 2001 :2 cents:

Hits just mean that highschool kids buy the albums :2 cents:
Norah Jones didn't sell nearly as many albums as 50 Cent did when his first album dropped and his album was highly successful and had tons of "hits" But who won the Grammy? Outkast won last year for best album, but they didnt have many hits (btw, i thought their album sucked?)

from what you're describing that you want, here's what I'd recommend if you're lookin to get good albums:

"The Pretty Toney Album" - Ghostface (Produced by RZA and some other guys)
"The W" - Wu Tang Clan (Produced by RZA)
"Lord Willin" - Clipse (Produced by Neptunes, and one song by Jermaine Dupri)
"The Carter" - Lil Wayne (Produced by Mannie Fresh and some songs by Jazzy Pha)
"Choices II Soundtrack" - Three 6 Mafia (All produced by the Three 6 Mafia)
"Genesis" - Busta Rhymes (Produced by Neptunes, Dr. Dre, and some other guys)
"Kiss Of Death" by Jadakiss (don't know the producers on this album)

i know most of those are up on torrentspy.com for the ghetto niggas like me, and they'd all be in stores now as well

oh i didn't read that you wanted bling bling and west side...

bling bling:
anything by Big Tymers, Hot Boys, Mannie Fresh, Baby, Lil Wayne. aka anything put out by Cash Money Record

west coast rap in general has sucked for a long time for the most part

Why Won't Jesse Helms Just Hurry Up And Die?
Verse 1
Big fat fuck from North Carolina state,
he's a worthless piece of shit, he's a paragon of hate,
he's a redneck, fuck-face, brain-dead waste of space,
two-bit, two-timing, motherfucking pool of slime.
Against gay rights, and funding for the arts,
tried to cancel PBS and tear Big Bird apart.
cut AIDS funding, corporate welfare for the rich,
he's a shameless money grubber, he's a two dollar bitch.

Chorus
Why won't Jesse Helms just hurry up and die?

Verse 2
Fundamentalist, fuckwad, dickless prick,
he's ugly as a morlock, dumb as a brick.
He's a sack of shit, hypocrite, single-minded, fat bigot,
punk bitch, ignorant, ass-munch sycophant.
Life long friend of the deadly cancer sticks,
thinks AIDS is the fault of the people it inflicts.
Racist fuck who supports segregation,
foe of the people friend of the corporation.

Chorus

Breakdown
Uh.
Damn.
Get up, get up!

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Trash Talk
Yo Jesse, you dumb-ass, racist, cracker motherfucker!
Why the fuck won't you just hurry up and die?
And take that punk-bitch Strom Thurmond with you!

and my personal favorite :thumbsup :

Fuck The Creationists
Trash Talk
Ah yeah, here we go again!
Damn! This is some funky shit that I be laying down on your ass.
This one goes out to all my homey's working in the field of
evolutionary science.
Check it!

Verse 1
Fuck the damn creationists, those bunch of dumb-ass bitches,
every time I think of them my trigger finger itches.
They want to have their bullshit, taught in public class,
Stephen J. Gould should put his foot right up their ass.
Noah and his ark, Adam and his Eve,
straight up fairy stories even children don't believe.
I'm not saying there's no god, that's not for me to say,
all I'm saying is the Earth was not made in a day.

Chorus
Fuck, fuck, fuck,
fuck the Creationists.

Trash Talk
Break it down.
Ah damn, this is a funky jam!
I'm about ready to kick this bitch back in.
Check it.

Verse 2
Fuck the damn creationists I say it with authority,
because kicking their punk asses be me paramount priority.
Them wack-ass bitches say, "evolution's just a theory",
they best step off, them brainless fools, I'll give them cause to fear me.
The cosmos is expanding every second, every day,
but their minds are shrinking as they close their eyes and pray.
They call their bullshit science like the word could give them cred,
if them bitches be scientists then cap me in the head.

Chorus

Trash Talk
Bass!
Bring that shit in!
Ah yeah, that's right, fuck them all motherfuckers.
Fucking punk ass creationists trying to set scientific thought back 400 years.
Fuck that!
If them superstitious motherfuckers want to have that kind of party,
I'm going to put my dick in the mashed potatoes.
Fucking creationists.
Fuck them.

This Ain't Livin is a good track :thumbsup

my thoughts now before that date they had some good ones. KRS-ONE and EPMD always rocked my world ;)))
