[NeoShweaty]

Dosen't sing, Rap ;P

He's From NY, raps as so many others 'bout his life, it's just that his life is a hell of a lot more interesting then let's say Eminem.
Underground rap at it's best.
Not a gangsta but a homeless bum whoms family suffered alot 'cause of Agent orange.
Die Rugged Man, Die! is his debut album which I highly recommend.

I'm just only a 50% fan of Hip Hop/Rap, since I just do listen rarely those kind of music..I do listen to the music of Eminem & Snopp Dogg, just wandering if Pharell could be considered in the Hip Hop/Rap genre?!?!?!

[kadodo]

Yes, I do like to listen to rap and hip-hop. My favorite rapper would have to be between Jay z and Nelly. I also like the recent dirty south raps.

Pharrel would be considered hiphop at the very least.

Jay-Z is alright, well the older stuff anyways, before Beyonce. Nelly is just whack according to me. Try Apathy.

hey im trying out all the artists you've mentioned i havent heard of it yet ... im raised in a rock environment, since birth i've been influenced by rock from almost everyone (parents, cousins, headbangers, satanist friends ) ... hiphop is out of my league but im open to all genres and i really like hiphop ever since i've heard some local rappers, back in 2nd grade i think... the best rappers i've heard: the old eminem, dre, snoop dogg, old jay-z... BEP is really funky, and my favorite hiphop act is outkast, they kinda fall on alternative tho but still hiphop to me... outkast is one of my favorite artists, really talented guys... also public enemy really appeals to me, and the beastie boys are just awesome

Well I'm born in the blues/rock enviroment but thats heritage my own taste is Rap.

But since you like rock you should try The Circle of Tyrants, Jedi Mind Tricks, Necro and Ill Bill.

TCoT is made of Ill Bill n' Necro who are brothers and were in a metal band called "Injustice" before they started rappin' so they have alot of heavy guitars in their beats.

Vinne Paz of JMT is influenced by the likes of Slayer (lyricswise) and claims to be a Heavy Metal King.

Serioulsy, try it, especially Circle of Tyrants.

Nelly hasnt come out with a hot track in years...If you like the dirty south raps now. Get some of the new rappers old stuff. Ex. Three Six Mafia, Outkast, TI, stuff like that...Also get DJ Drama mix tapes, those have the best underground hits that nobody knows about.
