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.

To be honest hip-hop has never been a favourite of mine. I always used to think that some of the songs were just too violent and over the top with 'homie' slang.

Recently, though, I've started to see the good points of the genre and have 'got into' artists like Run DMC and Tupac, there's still violence, gang-slang and explicit lyrics but at least I can make out the words and there is some rythm to it (more than I can say for the lyrical skill of, oh, say ... Slipknot)

I'd recommend 'My Adidas' by Run DMC and 'Ambitionz as a Ridah' by Tupac, if anyone's interested.

If you like it and it makes you happy, then listen to it. But the key principles are there, and if you get into Nas and Public Enemy, it's like John Cena's album done properly, so it should rock your socks.

Lol if he likes John Cena, good for him. It means theres a whole treasure chest full of classic artists who are about a gazillion times better who he'll blates fall in love with.

Some songs for you to try:
Public Enemy - Bring the Noise
Big Daddy Kane - Smooth Operator
Nas - The World is Yours

To get you started.

Gah, Wardy, John Cena is terrible...

If you're new to Hip-Hop you need to be educated in it's roots.
I reccomend Public Enemy, Gradmaster Flash and N.W.A...

I downloaded a quality song with him in today. It's called Don't Curse by Heavy D, and it features - are you ready for this - Kool G. Rap, Grand Puba, CL Smooth, Big Daddy Kane, Pete Rock AND Q-Tip! That is one impressive line-up.

'Ain't no half-steppin' is excellent as well.
