It has some of the best underground hip hop you can find.

I've been there one day I saw the new Sheek cd on their and I don't think he is quite underground haha. They never really update that site as I remember.

However, there is no denying that The Chronic is a masterpeice.

[amoore624426]

No questions asked. It's timeless. Is Detox going to be good? Well it better be because there is enough hype surrounding it since he said it's coming out.

[SoMuchToSay_07]

The Chronic was good IMO because of Snoop mainly

Hasn't he been hyping this album since like 2003?

More like 2001

[wooten843]

Blackstar is the truth, maybe the best Rap/Hip-Hop Album in history.

My Top 3:

Mos Def- Black on Both Sides
Blackstar- Blackstar
Notorious B.I.G.- Ready To Die

[amoore624426]

^ That is an amazing top 3 my friend. BUT I'd have to say Mos Def - True Magic is better than Black on Both Sides.

Seriously? I thought True Magic was alright, but BOBS is amazing I think.

let's be friends. i swear i was just listening to some biggie and thought the exact same thing.

my friends all think im crazy and worship weezy like he's the zepplin of rap but i just cant stand him. Some of his early stuff is ok (500 degreez is a pretty damn good album i cant deny it) but everything else; and believe me ive heard it ALL not just singles...im talking mixtapes and everything, is just garbage.

I've heard Jay-Z was the ghost-writer for Dre on 2001.

Some great ones:

Smif N Wessun - Bucktown (classic!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUGDcQpxNA8

KRS-ONE & Marley Marl "Hip Hop Lives"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWa4UpajKTc

Lost Boyz - Renee (another classic--one of my favorite songs of all time)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ7DBSzpaSY

Papoose - Publicity Stunt (i-n-s-a-n-e)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOlzDmMF-Os

whoaaaa i love jigga but there's no way thats true. dre and jay have completely different rhyming schemes and jay borrows from other people anyway.

[MoBb]

Canibus might not deliver the best albums (poor productions, for the most part) but there's no denying he's one of the best lyricists out there.

Exhibit A;

Canibus - 100 Bars

You're probably right, and like I said, it's just what I heard (ages ago). I have no proof of this. But, I'm pretty sure the song 'Still DRE' was written by Jay-Z--you can look it up if you want to (the songs' lyrics are credited 'S. Carter').

[MoBb]

Dead Prez - Hell Yeah
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZIN18chRis0

Probably one of the best hip-hop videos of all time. Fucking hilarious.

[SIZE=5][SIZE=2] Oh for sure, check me out
It's still Dre Day, A.K. nigga
Before I chrome the lot, can't keep it home a lot
'cause when I frequent the spots that I'm known to rock
You hear the bass from the trunk when I'm on the block
Ladies, they pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off
How nigga? My last album was "The Chronic"
They want to know if he still got it
They say rap's changed, they want to know how I feel about it
[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=5][SIZE=2]
Dr. Dre is the name, I'm ahead of my game
Still, puffing my leafs, still with the beats
Still not loving police (Uh huh)
Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease
Still got love for the streets, repping 213
Still the beat bangs, still doing my thang
Since I left, ain't too much changed, still

now that you say that and i read those lyrics i can totally see jay z writing that. you just mindfucked me
[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=5][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]

[whygohome?]

i dont know what the fuck is up with the size thing

[MoBb]

Yeah something's fucked.

I can definitely see Jay's prints on that, no doubt. I just don't think Dre's rhymes were any good at all untill 2001--where it's pretty damn good. If Jay-Z (and maybe other rappers) were behind those rhymes it would explain a lot.

Dead Prez - Mind Sex
http://youtube.com/watch?v=HknIXOH0NXg

One of the most romantic songs I've heard. I've gotten laid to this more than once.

I love DP espeically the album Revolutionary But Gangsta. The 'Hell Yeah' remix with Jay-Z is fire.
