Tolerable Rap/Hip-Hop

[brainfreeze215]

Hip hop (more so than rap) is very prominent in the dance world. As a result, I love it because of immersion. And loving hip hop is sort of a gateway to enjoying rap.

 

[Spleenbag]

MC Frontalot is amazing.

 

[Irishhoodlum]

Obviously, the only proper answer is BrokeNCYDE.

...God, I'm hilarious.

But seriously, I can only think of one rap song I could tolerate, but I can't remember the name.

Anyways lately I've been stuck on these guys below.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Aesop Rock

 

[RolandtheOblivion]

I'm gonna go with FightGarr on this one...the groups your talking about man...are some of the very best hip-hop groups of our time.

 

[Nibsy]

Australian group hilltop hoods.. their restrung cd was amazing.. hip hop with an orchestra

This. I find Hilltop Hoods good to listen to since they actually write songs about real things, real events and real life, and their lyrics are quite meaningful, which is rare.

Also, The Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Drapht, and Butterfingers.

Aesop will make you feel like you can't really speak English.

A thousand times this. I LOVE Aesop Rock

There should be a law against what he's doing, that's just nasty

 

[Cowabungaa]

I like some songs from the Flobots. Not your average crappy 'gangsta' rap, and I can appreciate that.

O and one of my vices is liking Snoop Dog every now and then, for the so called 'lulz'. I mean, it's so delightfully over-the-top. Just look at that Sensual Seduction clip, it's so incredibly cheesy and corny.

 

[Mondo_Generator]

Pete Rock & CL Smooth.
Gang Starr.
Public Enemy.
The D.O.C
Cypress Hill.
NWA.

That's just about the only Rap music I can tolerate.
All this new "Tits 'n ass in yer face" rap music is just awful.

Blue Scholars are awesome, and so is Shinoda.

While we're blue...

this

I see your Del sir, and I raise you some Organized Konfusion!

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

DJ Shadow (Hip-hop DJ instrumentals etc)
Cannibal Ox
Wu tang Clan
Vast aire

 

[MNM556]

You Might wanna try Eminem or Kid CuDi their beast

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Almost everyone who is/was a part of the Wu Tang Clan at some point. There are a couple who went on to solo careers that I can't stand, but most turned out very good.
A Tribe Called Quest has been mentioned already, for good reason.
Also throwing the Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash out there.

And that sums up all the artists that I like and listen to as extensively as my other music.
