www.gohollywood.com soyja boy, 50 cent, shop boyz, hurricane chris, lil bosie,ect. don't start rap sucks it ain't even music Just dont start by listening to commercial rap. Listen to old school and underground. I would suggest trying beastie boys (licensed to ill), Outkast (southern-playalistic-cadillac... Gangstarr, most of the new stuff is straight up garbage. But, then again im not really into rap myself but I do like some of it. When most people start listening to rap, they are looking for good beats, it takes a while to appreciate lyrical quality until you are used to the slang and style of the rapper.
Start off with NaS' Illmatic album, I haven't met a person who doesn't think that album is the BOMB
When you start looking for quality rap, listen to Big L's Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous
Listen to Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, Canibus, 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Rakim, Scarface, Wu-tang Clan...remember to listen and support underground rappers, mainstream rap sucks Start with the first rapper's;
1. The Sugar Hill Gang thier song Rapper's Delight
2. Run-DMC the first group to turn platinum. Songs; My Adidas, Tricky, they have many good songs.
3. The Beastie Boys, You've gotta fight for your right to party, Brass Monkey, on their first record are many good rap songs.
4. LL Cool J check out his early music
Then move on and listen to their later albums, then rap takes a different turn and the lyrics get violent, XXX rated up to par. I'm not referring to the ones I've listed, Run-DMC kept it pretty clean. Don't know about the rest. These are some of my favorites. When rapper's delight came out, mostly everyone I knew, knew the words and would sing along. I don't know of any paraplegic rappers, sorry. I'm sure they're are though. I've seen movies of people with no legs, sky diving. So, do what you want to do. Hope this helps and good luck to you. Start by istening to real rap, that's not all about drugs, money and getting some. Kanye west: Through the wire, Good life, i wonder, Champion, Flashlights, The glory, Homecoming, All falls down, sky high, spaceship... Tupac: Dear mamma, I ain't mad at cha, keep your head up, brenas got a baby...Bone thugz n harmony The Goats, Public Enemy, NWA, Beastie Boys...
