So, my little siblings turn rap on the radio. And this rap has no drums or bass, just this really high pitch synth stuff and this low pseudo bass drum pseudo bass guitar sound that gives me a head ache. No turntablism or sampling, and the guy can't even enunciate his vocals. When you can understand them, the lyrics are terrible- but my little siblings think this new rap is great- meanwhile I can't even find a beat!
My point is- new MTV/radio rap sucks. Everyone seems really obsessed with Tupac as well.
I really love Kool Keith- whether in Ultramagnetic MC's, or as anyone of his incarnations. I like Outkast a lot too. Public Enemy and NWA are cool, but I haven't really been properly introduced. Any suggestions? Any other rap recommendations? I've heard a Tribe Called Quest and Kid Koala are good.
Cheesy Oldschool rap is good too- Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash, and the likes.
