God damnit dude. Why haven't you been posting in the GD longer? I'm drunk and willing to embarrass myself, but I want to be your best friend now lol.

Here's my contribution, not the best introduction to MF DOOM, but a great jam anyways.

Hip hop/rap is pretty hit and miss for me. I really don't know much about the genre.

I really don't like Tupac, Kanye West, Drake and Eminem stuff but have liked some Ghostface Killah, Camp Lo and Too $hort songs before.

...I don't know what it is, but I like this song a lot.

haha I told you man, I only just recently got the hang of finding new posts and active discussions on this forum. Still wish the User CP would automatically subscribe to threads but whatever

I don't know much MF Doom, but I know what I like and I like what I know. My Favorite Ladies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNGnCLod-qg) is one of my faves by him

oh man that's that old school Bay Area rap, super throwback. super misogynistic, but still, gotta love that G-Funk beat

This guy's ok, I guess.

:tcool::tlol:

I mostly listen to old-school boom bap & whatnot. My favorite acts are NWA, Gangstarr, House Of Pain, Wu-Tang Clan, & many more as you can guess.

Gotten into a bunch of Japanese hip-hop in recent years. Rhymester, King Giddra, Soulscream, Naked Artz, Buddha Brand, etc. This sh*t right here is hard as hell but it won't be for everyone 'cause of the language barrier. Still, you don't needa know the language to feel a tough track.
Nv1v4s50WoQ

Don't listen to many modern acts but I do f**k with ASAP Mob & a few others.

[Wesley]

I'm not a big fan of rap music, but I like a few songs by eminem (e.g. Lose Yourself) and Timbaland (e.g. The Way I Are).

[CyberCubed]

Nobody knows about Tupac or Snoop dogg anymore.

[Dust]

Nobody knows about Tupac or Snoop dogg anymore.

Well that's a complete lie, anyone who's a fan of hip hop or rap know Tupac and Snoop Dogg.

edit: I'm listening to Kendrick and Gambino mostly at the moment, with a bit of Wu-Tang Clan mixed in.

[Prowler]

Nobody knows about Tupac or Snoop dogg anymore.
They do, especially Snoop Dogg since people who don't even care much about rap music like some of his songs.

[CyberCubed]

What do the young kids of today even listen to? I don't think they listen to rappers from the 90's or early 2000's anymore.

Pretty sure Snoop Dogg still makes songs.

They seem to like the likes of Kanye, Drake, Nicki Minaj and such. I don't like those at all, though.

[Dust]

My friends listen to Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino, and sometimes some Biggie, Tupac, Snoop Dogg etc.

[ToTheNines]

I can't stop playing this Future joint (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhubWuCPqVk)

The MC is not my style, but that beat is killer.

What about Public Enemy? I always found it to pretty insane that Flav is the most famous member lol. Chuck D and Terminator are geniuses.

Nv1v4s50WoQ

Yeah, those beats are all awesome. Who's their producer?

Also, do you know of Nujabes? He was my gateway drug into Japanese back when Samuari Champloo was on, I've kinda forgotten a lot of them, but I still bump him.

Well that's a complete lie, anyone who's a fan of hip hop or rap know Tupac and Snoop Dogg.

I love Kendrick. I hate pretty much all mainstream stuff, but he's a real talent.

Not my favorite of his, but relevant to the fact that this is a TMNT thread:

Give this a listen. So good.

[ToTheNines]

Snake, looks like you're trying to play Liquid Swords. Truly a classic. Probably my favorite Wu joint after Enter The Wu-Tang.

I'm a total DOOM fanboy. I could rant all day about him.

I forgot he made a video for that one lol. It's kind of a rare track and I never heard it until I picked up his compilation album "Unexpected Guests". He ties the end of each track into the next, even though they're all from different albums. Several Wu Tang contributions. One of my favorite albums ever, a must-listen.

Here's a track off it. To keep my TMNT streak going, this one samples Rob Paulsen throughout:

[ProphetofGanja]

Damn my bad, finally on a computer. Couldn't do all this fancy copy/pasting on my phone.

Nobody knows about Tupac or Snoop dogg anymore.

Of course they do, man, you know this! People just don't often bring them up, it's already known that they're some of the top godfathers of rap. This is probably my favorite Pac track:

Old School - 2 Pac

Well that's a complete lie, anyone who's a fan of hip hop or rap know Tupac and Snoop Dogg.

edit: I'm listening to Kendrick and Gambino mostly at the moment, with a bit of Wu-Tang Clan mixed in.

I could post links to my favorite Snoop Dogg songs all day, so let me just list a few lesser known/under appreciated joints:

Murder Was the Case [Remix]
My Medicine ft. Willie Nelson
Lighters Up (as Snoop Lion) ft. Mavado & Popcaan
and then of course all of the fire features he's done over the years


Pretty sure Snoop Dogg still makes songs.

They seem to like the likes of Kanye, Drake, Nicki Minaj and such. I don't like those at all, though.

I actually like at least a few songs from all of those artists, so here's a pick for each:

Drake - Up All Night ft. Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj - Beez in the Trap ft. 2 Chainz
Kanye West - Famous

My friends listen to Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino, and sometimes some Biggie, Tupac, Snoop Dogg etc.

I love K-dot, as well as the rest of the Top Dawg crew, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q (the four together known as Black Hippy), SZA, Isaiah Rashad.

Here are some good tracks:

Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino aka Troy Barnes is a really versatile creative dude. I loved him on Community, like most of his music, and his show Atlanta on FX was out-of-this-world good. I really love his feature on this N.A.S.A. track (North America/South America, a cool DJ project that always get a bunch of random awesome guest artists to make cool songs), remixed by Tropkillaz:

Hide - N.A.S.A. ft. Childish Gambino & Aynzli Jones [Tropkillaz Remix]
MJwv33kJH3k

Biggie will always be a King. My favorite track is actually a mash-up from an album with Biggie a cappellas over beats made from Frank or Nancy Sinatra songs:

Dead Wrong/In My Room - The Notorious B.I.G. x Nancy Sinatra
SpqCP2ygAsU

Also, this is forever a classic. RIP
You're Nobody Till Somebody Kills You - The Notorious B.I.G.

Yeah, "mumble rap" as its apparently being called now is pretty hit-or-miss. Future always has good beats though, these are worth checking out:


Cee-Lo - Future ft. Wale
AhxXynVnUpY

Too Excited - Future
HDXqmnkQcAQ

Itchin' - Future
AOBL9cj-G74

Upper Echelon - Future
DCpWu_4wpoM

Old Hundreds - Future ft. Twista
Ylp0SRRBYN4

Man, I LOVE me some Public Enemy. Power to the people and the beats!!!

He Got Game
Public Enemy No. 1
Fight The Power
By the Time I Get to Arizona
Give It Up

All classics. And I can't lie, I watched both seasons of Flavor of Love, that season of The Surreal Life, and The Roast of Flavor Flav (as well as the Katt Williams special that talked about his time working on The Roast of Flavor Flav) all out of love for P.E., and just to see wtf Flav is up to now :lol: I once dressed up as Flavor Flav for the Throwback Thursday day during Spirit Week in high school.

I also gotta admit, I got a soft spot for RiFF RAFF. He's an odd character, but when he's good, he's goood.


TiME - RiFF RAFF

LAVA GLACiERS - RiFF RAFF FT. CHiLDiSH GAMBiNO

Any Action Bronson fans here? I actually got into him from watching his cooking shows. Dude is a mad talented cook and now a burgeoning TV personality, he hosts a food/travel show on Viceland and him and his friends star on Traveling the Stars: Action Bronson and Friends Watch ‘Ancient Aliens’. Pretty funny if you're into that sort of thing.

Alright, that was a lot. I've listened to all the songs you guys posted so post some for me. I'll leave you with this classic. I like to imagine the Turtles listening to this when they're on their way home from patrol or just kickin' it in their hideout.

I love how Santolouco throws in Wu-Tang references in the lair. I've always thought they (or RZA) should do the soundtrack of TMNT movie. Even if it wasn't original, their whole library is that perfect mix of NYC grit and martial arts, just like TMNT.

Anyways, here's one of my favorites. Deltron 3030 is Del the Funkee Homosapien, Dan the Automator, and Kid Koala. Their albums are all concept pieces that take place in the dystopian future of 3030. This songs long, but worth it. Y'all can skip the first minute though.

Q7_jbluF0qo

TMNT related, this is from The BCASA's album "F*ck You Shredder". If anyone's into Punk at all the album is ace. Plenty of references to classic hip hop lyrics through out. Anyways, this is the rap they did at the end of the album, good stuff.

One of my favorite songs ever. Good album. One Be Lo (first verse) is crazy underrated.

[PApagreg]

I know Nines already mentioned Madvillian but I really love this song

[snake]

I've been listening to a lot of Death Grips recently. Anyone else a fan?

[Andrew NDB]

The best rap song ever made. Nothing since has come close. This is the anthem.

I like Spice 1's first two albums. This song in particular is pretty cool, imo:

Just remembered this song; hadn't heard it in years til it popped up in my Spotify shuffle
nyFqJZOirno

God damn, tell me that second verse (https://genius.com/Mr-pookie-crook-for-life-lyrics) isn't the hardest thing you've ever heard in your life

[Prowler]

This song is crazy haha

Okay,
Pistol-packing poison Bandolero, an abandoned hero
Landed on this planet, I am stranded in the land of zeros,
Bow down bitch, modern-day Pharaoh,
Kick Cupid in the balls and then I stoled his f*ckin' arrows!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, Write my name like Zorro
Tag my name on walls and I am broke enough to borrow
Soon I’ll be an underground rapper with a Bentley
And all my competition, I will break it to them gently
Tell Watson that it’s elementary
‘Cause I feel like I’ve been doing this for f*ckin' centuries!
Back into the States, I truly hope that I am granted entry
Heaven’s gates, I really hope that I am granted entry
Yo, they call me King of Canada, that’s my anointment
And when I’m meeting people now they are divine appointments
They shower me with gifts, candles and the finest ointments
And incense, I’m intense. My girl’s a Princess
Never f*ck with family, dawg, that sh*t is incest
Stomping competition like a motherf*cking insect
"Look out for Madchild, he’s a monster, really wants to bite us,"
Rap until I lose my f*cking voice and I got tonsillitis
Middle-aged little ankle biter taking tranquilizers
Everything I say is tantalizing, I’m an improviser
I’m on the rise now, You could read the articles
I’ll blow a rapper's brain to particles, I have a heart of gold...

Okay, look
Ayo, I'm still trying to make it, other things I had to sacrifice
They love my hunger rapping with the massive appetite
Running circles 'round your head
Saran wrap, you can't breathe
Lock the door like Sonny in the bar, nows you can't leave!
Turn a rapper into mash potatoes. I'm a mass tornado
I'll turn a children's mind to mush just like a batch of Play-Doh
Banned from America, Something you can't duplicate
So I'm a lonely alien like from the movie Super 8
Yeah, my rhymes are hard like algebra
Don't scrap words, I recycle them and salvage them
I said these rappers they are semi-frauds
I am an immortal, I'm a beast, I am a Demigod!
Banned from America, my angel is the centerfold
Brain is full of poisonous fumes and dangerous chemicals
Can't even associate with them 'cause they are morons
Think that they are dope, I got more talent in my forearm!
I'm banging on these motherf*ckers like I'm Travis Barker!
I'll erase their f*cking names like I'm a magic marker!
I'm still alive, it's a miracle like Magic Johnson
Old as f*ck, but still a new flavor like Action Bronson
I'll keep rapping 'till I thrash my tonsils
A f*cking dragon breathing fire, I've got ashy nostrils
Motherf*cker, I'm the last Apostle
Rap dinosaur, I'll probably be the last Jurassic fossil...
