"Hip-Hop Thread"

We seem to be starting quite a few at the moment, so lets keep it all in one place.

This is your centre for enquiring about/recommending/talking about any albums, songs or rappers.

Enjoy.

I'm looking forward to this new soopagroop.
I downloaded some Soopafly and Daz Dillinger stuff, and it's not bad, just bland.
I can't imagine this group will be anything but that.

Nelly 1 was bad enough.

I seen an article in XXL on Chingy, really not interested in these nu-nu-skool acts, besides maybe Ras Kass, and one or two others.

Everything Joe Budden does sounds the same.
Have you heard any Chingy songs yet?
Nelly 2, I'm telling ya

Yeah, I saw.

So, anyway, we need discussion.

Discuss the current state of hip-hop - with loads of newbies surfacing and conquering the game, whilst the novices remain at the back unheard.

One example - Joe Budden is Def Jam's main source of attention, but they did jak concerning Keith Murray's latest album.

Check Amazon for Ready To Die prices.

I was gonna get Ready to Die today, excpet it was 21.99 - should it be that much? How much did y'all pay for it?

I got Kiss Hip Hop Classics instead. It's not that good and hardly recommendable, but I'll be boppin my head to Wu's 'Gravel Pit', DMX's 'Party Up' and a select other few for years to come.

I've never really got to like Wu Tang. I find them a bit boring in my opinion.

Okay, my hip-hop life at the moment.

I'm really into the two Wu-Tang CDs I have. I just got into 36 Chambers after not playing it through fully since I got it, and while the Shaolin half isnt that good, the Wu-Tang side makes up for it.

Also Wu-Tang Collective has some great songs, and lets me explore the more distant Wu artists, like Joe Mafia and Myalansky, among others.

Recommend both.

'I Luv U' is pure class.

This man is destined for big things.
