I just downloaded a few songs by Gang Starr and bought a CD from A Tribe Called Quest.

Those two groups two some of the best rap I've heard in a long time. With crap like Ludacris blaring on the radio, and hip hop being introduced to the general public by people like Eminem, Nelly, Ja Rule, rap has changed for the worse.

I really recommend the rap fans here to listen to Gang Starr, and music fans in general to purchase the Low End Theory CD by ATCQ. Great music. :biggrin:

Aside from P, most of No Limit were fad rappers. Mystikal? Could any of us really understand a word he was saying?

Anyways, new south-side rappers got popular. Sillk is still around though. I think Master P focusing on producers.

The new De La Soul is good as well

Haven't gotten much of a chance to listen to De La Soul, aside from "Ooh!". Any recommendations?

Rap isn't usually my favorite music, but Blackalicious is extremely excellent. Always been a small time fan of Beastie Boys as well.

I didn't realize Silkk is still around. Master P, I noticed, is doing a bit more acting than ususal. Last time I saw him was in Hollywood Homicide, and doesn't he have a show on Nickelodeon?
