I lost respect for Snoop when it became apparent the man will attach himself to any movie/music/commercial to cling on to relevancy.Quote:

Tim Holland, stage name Sole.
I tend to see him popping up in various other things more than hear him/see him rap. That kind of thing says to me "I'd rather attach my name to something instead of rapping".Quote:

OK here's a series of punchlines and insults really, but if you might like that over a beautiful beat:
Punchlines and randomness over a beautiful track, probably sampling the soundtrack of some martial-arts movie:
I hate Gansta Rap
I only rap I like is
Will Smith
Beastie Boys
Run DMC
Tone Loc
Is it lyrics or the sound?I personally could care less what people are rhyming about these days.No one writes well in any genre of music any more, so I have given up on that front.Quote:

I liked early Will Smith, but afer that not so much, but I aint going to act like i wasn't getting jiggy with it back in 96.Beastie Boys are awesome, they are extremely underrated unfortunately.Pioneers of creative sampling.Quote:

For Will Smith, I dunno, maybe I was too old when his first music came out. It seemed like little-kid's music, you know, for bday parties and rollerskating, etc. But whatever, he's still a great actor, good-looking too...
Man I miss Public Enemy... :( They brought the political when other groups were rapping about being studio gangsters.
yaya the cat
Jackie Chain
Phil Collins, he's pretty black
NOT my favorite rapper at all. I was just curious if you guys knew of this guy, he is a huge sonic nerd and samples sonic a lot. A lot of people hate him but I sort like him in a way lol
I also really enjoy Ceschi Ramos
I could listen to the first verse from the RZA, over and over all day
Fusion of the five elements, to search for the higher intelligence
Women walk around celibate, livin irrelevant
The most benelovent king, communicatin through your dreams
Mental pictures been painted, Allah's heard and seen
everywhere, throughout your surroundin atmosphere
Troposphere, thermosphere, stratosphere
Can you imagine from one single idea, everything appeared here
Understanding makes my truth, crystal clear
Innocent black immigrants locked in housing tenemants
Eighty-Five percent tenants depend on welfare recipients
Stapleton's been stamped as a concentration camp
At night I walk through, third eye is bright as a street lamp
Electric microbes, robotic probes
Taking telescope pictures of globe, babies getting pierced with microchips
stuffed inside their earlobes, then examinated
Blood contaminated, vaccinated, lives fabricated
Exaggerated authorization, Food and Drug Administration
Testin poison in prison population
My occupation to stop the innauguration of Satan
Some claim that it was Reagan, so I come to slay men
like Bartholemew, cause every particle is physical article
was diabolical to the last visible molecule
A space night like Rom, consume planets like Unicron
Blasting photon bombs from the arm like Galvatron
