Rap/Hip-Hop is my favourite genre, some crackers on here :newthumb:

Could post loads from Tu-pac, Biggie, Wu Tang, NWA, Public Enemy, Dr Dre, etc.

Eminem, never been a huge fan, he is very marmite for me, but when he released "Stan" it blew me away the first time I heard it.

Kanye is a bit of a wally, but the dude has released some absolute bangers.

Organized Konfusion have to be one of the most under appreciated musical groups of all time. Pharaohe Monch is just about as good as there is for me.

SH, have you ever dipped into the Southern (states) rap scene from the 90's before it became big, particularly the new sound from New Orleans at that time? I'm buggered if I can remember the artists, but was a cool/different vibe to the East/West coast sounds. Worth a bit of your time if you are doing the rap rounds.

Cheers Clackers, I will check it out.

The 90's stuff is by far the best in my opinion.

That's about as up to date as my hip hop listening goes. I sort of think of them as 'current' but they're like 20 years old :shocker:

Just had to say props to Clacton-ammer for posting Stan too. One of the greatest obviously and The Way I Am, Real Slim Shady, Guilty Conscience, My Name Is among others all excellent goes without saying.
