what dou you think of my rap/ hip hop favorites playlist?

[Goosemaster]

Here is the updated version


Let me know if you have any recommendations.....I've been finding great stuff lately and a lot of people are chiming in recommending great stuff.


Also, I love a bunch of classics, and as always, there is a goldmine of 'unheards' so feel free to chime in with other stuff....



Thanks for the contributions so far

Kind of depends on what you like. The stuff you have there aren't very mainstream anymore. Always check Pandora, it's a gold mine

I really like Chingy for some reason, not that he's particularly good rapper or lyricist but his songs are catchy and easy to bob your head to. Notorious BIG is always good. THe recent remixes are something worth checking out. Also take a listen to Sean Paul (not real rap or hiphop but close enough).

Goose, i just picked up a new disc by new artists...the group is called "Spank Rock". This disc is really good so far and based on your liking RJD2, I'd say it's worth checking out.

The Roots - Illadelph Halflife

I just watched the video for "What They Do" on MTV Overdrive a few minutes ago. Classic video -- absolutely one of my all-time favorites.

A few years ago, a friend and I would watch rap videos and count the number of "pimp rap" cliches we could spot. Then I saw "What They Do" and realized The Roots had already used that idea for a video!
