Recomend me some ...

Rap,
I need it for a project,
But since i know jack squat about rap genre's or artists I'll try here.

Hard to explain what I'm looking for, not too gangstar, angry lyrics "cba with capp, ho's, booze, smack ect and so on"
looking for solid beat, flow and rime

oh and it needs to be "social drinking worthy" so to speak, meaning not too mellow either

 

[Golly]

look for run dmc, public enemy and some of the older wu tang stuff, could even include tlc / salt n pepper as some of the early 90s girls entries, or you after more underground stuff?

the more famous stuff is mostly gangsta this and that, NWA is a prime example

whats the structure of the project? can maybe give more insight then

 

[Olgaline]

thanks but was thinking more none mainstream, new stuff

 

[old.Tohtori]

Not mainstream...but social drinking worthy...rather odd.

You mean something underground, but played in bars?

where did you get the played in bar's from ?
it has to be mainstream now to be social drinking worthy ?


But yeah Underground would be a preatty fitting discription for what I'm looking for.

What he said, but their texts are more political, not really sure what threadstarter is after.

Checked Dizzee Rascal?

Generally social is bar music really, but if you mean "social" as in with friends at home, then it's a bit too vague as it differs between people.

See the problem?

 

[Olgaline]

good thing I'm not writting a legal document then innit ?
now got an actual suggestion ?

 

[kirennia]

Aerosmith - walk this way!

Well that's the whole point in me asking, i'm still trying to figure out what you want.

Don't want to hunt stuff down and then hear "Oh not that".

Eminem is probably your most recognised and influential rap artist out.

He has two sides to his work: the public released stuff or the tunes which he plonks onto the album as extras - the latter are the good ones

 

[NikonL]

does it have to be well known, recognised "oh yeah that shit is rap" rap? or will good rap do? if latter, try sage francis

YouTube - Sage Francis - Got Up This Morning
[youtubevid]hiV2stUu5RE[/youtubevid]

i guess it's more like alternate hip hop really, good though.

 

[Olgaline]

NikonL that's preatty cool
