Looking for Hip-hop

[Leonartheinsane]

Hello Escapists...

Very off topic here but I was wondering if there were some fellow escapists who were into Hip-hop who could give me some recommendations about artists...

I Don't know how to embed video, but essentially what I'm looking is music like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6MXluaVuFk

Thanks for any suggestions.

The actual song starts at 0:55.
And yes, this is rap, just mixed with a little gospel.

Also, you can't go wrong with this:

If you're looking for some classic stuff try:
A Tribe Called Quest-Jazzy rap
NWA- the definition of gangsta rap

Also if you are looking for international rap try some Australian hip-hop (Hilltop Hoods especially)

 

[Tizzmarelda]

Try The Pharcyde and The roots for starters.

 

[SweetNess_666]

NWA for starters omg wow
Of coarse Dr dre (older stuff)
And my personal god the one the only Eminem get his whole back catalogue lock yourself in a room and enjoy

agreed, I think his album Recovery is still my favorite one EVAR (as far as white rappers go sage Francis is also seriosuly good, as much as I like eminem somtimes I need a change from his "Im awsome" themes...but he is awsome)

Tech N9ne, enough said.

 

[7moreDead_v1legacy]

...Yeah...

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

I'll chip in with Killah Priest, Jeru the Damaja, Immortal Technique (who apparently didn't feel the need to spell his name creatively) and Gravediggaz

I'm not an avid hip-hop guy, but Run-DMC is still awesome, Its not gangsta rap by any means, but its still a really cool trio.

 

[Jazoni89]

I'm not the hugest fan of Hip Hop, but I do love some songs, especially this.


Also, anything Eminem seems go down a treat for most people including me.

I would also recommend listening to the Wu Tang Clan, I heard them in Glastonbury on the TV, and they sounded rather good.

Atmosphere - Guarantees

Jurassic 5 - Day at the races or Ducky Boy

Shad! - Anything by this guy seriously it's all amazing (Rock to It and Rose Garden are the best)

If you want anymore just ask
