We should tell people that like rap but dont venture here often to post their lists

gtfo out jjr's thread. Seriously, why does Lew insist on having lists edited by complete douchebags who don't show any respect or listen to anyone else's opinions. Nobody gives a fuck who who you knew knew.

Not that there's a systematic problem with it, but Kanye above Em on a favourites list is so depressing.

LOL I did listen. And I did show respect. And I made changes (to several lists) based on strong arguments. Love how sensitive some of u guys are abt who is/isn't a 'douchebag,' yet you only sling insults. Make a strong argument and changes will be made. Always have, always will. Curse and insult like a nine year old, and why should/would anyone listen to you?

Seems fair enough.

I'm thinking of checking out some hip-hop. What dudes should I be feeling?

Public Enemy and Eric B & Rakim, for starters.

Has any hip hop ever grabbed you at all? It's hard to make a rec out of the blue.

I've heard some older rap songs that I thought were cool, and I heard an Eminem album recently that had some songs I liked. I would like to hear some of the classic releases, the ones that modern day rappers and hippity-hoppers find inspirational. I bought a Public Enemy album called It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, but it hasn't really grabbed me yet.
