Who all's your favorite rapper? Personally I like Slug from Atmosphere. He's creative, funny and I often feel a connection with him through his lyrics. Plus it's hard not to like someone who writes
Atmosphere - Guns and Cigarettes wrote:A few years ago an ex-girl of mine
Asked me to keep her name out of my rhymes
So I said this rhyme that I'm about to say
It came from the heart and it went this way:
Go to hell girl, you make me sick!
I hope your new boyfriend gets cancer in his dick
What the fuck makes you think I'd put your name on my record?
there, now I feel a lot better

Atmosphere is the shit. I love how Slug pours his very soul out on every track, "Guns and Cigarettes" is one of my favorite songs, I also like "The Woman With the Tattooed Hands" and "National Disgrace." The funny thing is that the record that "Guns and Cigarettes seems to be named after an ex-girlfriend of his, its called "The Lucy Ford E.P.s.
Some other hip-hip artists I like include Sweatshop Union, (in a matter of seconds even the best can go from sellin' platinium records to workin' at Texaco) Typical Cats, (I'm the motherfucking king, like Oedipus) and Jedi Mind Tricks. (They be deceivin' us, with ways devious, possessin my peeps to walk the streets with stolen heat like Prometheus)

I've been known to groove a little to Tjimba and the Yung Warriors, a little bit of some oldschool American shit (I can't help but break out Young MC's 'Bust a Move' from time to time, and when I'm playing a thug in a game, well, NWA may just come out to play), some Phrase, and a couple of other Aussie guys whose name I can't remember - same with some guys from NZ.

Missy Elliott. Her lyrics can be insanely funny.

So who is your favorite rapper, Stark?
Or were you just going to do your trademark "the subject of this thread is stupid and everyone who participates in it is a fatty nerd*" thing.
*Which is pretty funny coming from someone with a membership at a Star wars vs. Star Trek website.

So what you're saying is that the only black people are allowed to rap and that because a rapper is white their work is somehow less valid?
PS Slug is half white half black, does that mean he's only half way allowed to rap?

Firstly, so what if I do listen to rap for nerds? I AM a nerd. Secondly, you said

because my favourite rapper is like, black
Now I could be mentally retarded or something but it seems clear to me that you're saying that the music previously posted in the thread is bad and your favorite rap is better because it's by black people, which sounds like something a stupid racist cunt would say so maybe I just misunderstood you. You're not a stupid racist cunt are you?

Connect the statements. I ask 'is this a thread for rapper xyz' and then said 'because I like rappers abc'. Nothing in the quote you just posted says anything about quality at all. I'll go on the record saying yes, I think your favourite rapper is shit, but that's nothing to do with 'racism'. There were so many white rappers posted I wasn't sure the contribution of coloured rappers would be appreciated, especially if it wasn't aimed at fat nerds.
And truth time? I didn't notice this wasn't in testing. I seriously assumed a thread so content-free wouldnt' be in a real forum. My bad.
But because I hate your stupid face, let's see now
idiot wrote:only black people are allowed to rap and that because a rapper is white their work is somehow less valid
When I asked you to quote me saying this, you posted the quote above, which, obviously, is NOT me saying non-black rap is less valid (or even less good). Oops!

Maybe it works differently in Australia but usually when someone says that something is the 'worst in history' and then says something descriptive about what they like they're saying that the attribute they've brought up makes what they like better. Go back to your cave you useless fucking troll.

is going to be the extent of your contribution to this thread, why post at all? Has the Austrailian government hired someone to come to your house every morning and piss in your Cheerios?
Anyway, I'm not trying to be a dick here, I'm just a fat nerd who likes hip-hop. So, I ask again, who is your favorite rapper, Stark?

Nah, I'm not actually that much of a fan of the Hilltop Hoods. They've got some decent stuff, but it doesn't click with me.

I kinda like them, but really they're just the Austrailian hip-hop group I can think of off the top of my head.
Then there's always the old school, Boogie Down Productions, Public Enemy, Slick Rick, and The Ultramagnetic M.C.s can also be found in my music collection.

I can't really say I have a favorite rapper, I've just been listing some that I like, if I really had to pick a favorite it would probably be either KRS-ONE or the Rza. Can't believe I didn't mention the Wu-Tang Clan earlier.

It's better than rap threads around here used to be.
Doucheface: What's the deal with (c)rap you guys? It's just talking over a drumbeat! It's not even music!
Chorus: Hurf hurf hurf!
Anyway, early 90's West Coast has really grown on me, probably thanks to the San Andreas soundtrack. It's hard not to like NWA. Listen to Ice Cube and Pearl Jam back to back, and it's pretty easy to understand how suburban white kids gave up on rock in favor of rap en masse.

I'm not a rap fan in general, but there are a few that are near and dear. Namely (gotta go with the classics) Run-DMC.

Allow me to also add Lupe Fiasco:
Lupe Fiasco's remix of Kanye West's "Diamonds from Sierra Leone"--better than the original, and the original is fucking good.

Oh shit, I can't believe I forgot to mention The Lonely Island. I mean, they're absolutely ridiculous, but in terms of comedy value, they're pretty amazing.
