UR FAVOURITE RAP STAR AND HOW YOU FIRST HEARD THEM
« on: September 14, 2002, 10:23:27 PM »
Please pick only 1!!!!!!!!!!!

My fav is Too $hort.

Actually I was extremely slow to find out about Short, coz he basically dont exist in this part of the world, and his records cannot be bought in stores.

I first read and article on him in the Source when that Nationwide Indpendence Day compliation was coming out. And they called him a west coast legend. And I was like 'legend' and i neva heard of him.

I looked on the net and I found that he had 10albums out by then and i thought i was looking at a wrong Too Short. Then I found Cocktails at a second hand sales and I gave it a spin and one line got stuck in my head and I bought it straight away. The line went:

'I can pull out my little black phone book,
Flip every last page take a long look,
And then pull out a bitch like a rabbit outta hat,
Nigga If I want i can have it like that'

I thought that was soooooooo smooth when i was 12.

Ummm... a hrad question...

Snoop Dogg. I first heard (of) him when I was the Nuthin' But a G Thang video on Yo! MTV Raps ages ago.

He's truly a rap star. He only needs to show up somewhere and the crowd goes wild. Many rappers, although they may be good, haven't got a style unique to them. Snoop really does, his style, voice, everything. True, there was a period when his raps weren't so hot and he maybe took the pimpin' thing too far, but still yo, the man's a living legend. He was one piece of the puzzle called Death Row that really put the westcoast on the map worldwide. An' he's still here, doin' his thang, doin' dope records.

I first heard of Del The Funky Homosapien when:  I heard Deltron 3030's "Virus" track playing on a skateboard video, at my friend's house. I was like, "Damn, this guy's tight!"

Since then, I've been hooked on him, lol. ;D

What song is that line from?

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Not one...

Ice Cube - First heard him on Straight Outta Compton but didn't really know who he was until my older brother bought Cube's first solo.

2Pac - First heard him on "Same Song" but didn't know he was part of Digital Underground. I could only recognize Humpty Hump from that group. First saw Pac when Yo! MTV Raps premiered "Brenda's Got A Baby".

Scarface - When I first heard "Mind Is Playing Tricks On Me".

Not one...but 3

Ice Cube {Straight outta Compton had this mean looking dude in the background who rapped on almost every track on the lp....but never got the recong that Eazy had or the mistiqe that the group had. But his shit was amazing....when "AmeriKKKaz most" came out it was over Ice Cube was "King of The Westcoast".....when the revelation's of Cube writting almost all of the hitz off of the N.W.A. lp...& Eazy-duz-it a Legend was made.}

2Pac {Same Song was already a heavily anticipated song...Cause I was a major fan of "Sex Packet's", so this feat was a tight surprise when I bought the Same song ep....The video was off the hook as well, had N.W.A. in it.
and a legend in the wing's.}

Scarface {Some homie at school told me that he had a tape that made "AmeriKKKaz most wanted" look tame....and he handed me "Grip it! on that other level" by a group outta 5th ward Texas called "The Geto Boy's"....and that album made my fucken jaw drop, the violence and macabre scenes discribed on that lp were off of the radar....
"Mind of a lunatic"
"Read these Nike's"
"Gangsta of love"
& a track called "Scarface" that had an mc who was incredible, and unlike anything I had ever heard before...This lp was later re-done and repackaged as the self titled lp "Geto Boy's" but yo, that content was hard as hell....I've yet hear anything that has shocked since then....I was blown-out.
-------------------------------------------------------


Me and the homie "WestcoastVeteran" have the exact same favorites.....that's tight.

Good taste homie

"One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" was his response. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."
