[Old-Voycoon-Studios]

Hey all,

Atmosphere
-Sunshine
-Scapegoat
Common
-The Light
Jurassic 5
-Freedom
Oddisee
-Once upon a Mic
-The Upgrade feat. J-Live/Oddisee
Masta Ace
-No Regrets
Grand Puba
-I like it

Clink the name to link too the song. If you have any tracks in line with these don't hesitate to share.

Nice. You should check out the Rap Crew. Even though it hasn't been active too much lately, there are a ton of links and suggestions for artists and songs.

Also check out Nujabes and Cyne.

[Biscuit-head]

I like the sound of that.
I would favorite it if youtube was relevant.

[Old-Voycoon-Studios]

I've heard a lot about Nujabes..well I've seen the name around. I'm lovin the CYNE track though. Thanks yo!

Oh Nujabes is simply amazing.

To the OP, have you heard of Astronautalis by any chance? You should really check out his music, if not.

Haven't heard of them before or any of their music. Anything specific? also what Nujabes songs would you recommend?

Yeah, he isn't that well-known just yet - part underground back-pack hip hop artist, part folk singer. Here's a track you can preview. If you find that you enjoy that then I'd recommend the album "Mighty Ocean and Nine Dark Theaters" for a first time listener. Quite an impressive album. Could probably hook you up with it if you can't find it anywhere.

And lol Nujabes, Luv (Sic) pt.3 is probably one of my favourite songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Best lyrics. Check it out.

I'm noticing Nujabes has a pretty consistant style. I remeber that a friend of mine remixed meth/red's how high vocals with a Nujabes song. Pretty intense mix although I don't have it on my laptop. I will probaby search around for that mighty ocean album cuz the preview was pretty refreshing.
Can anything thing of artist along the lines of A Tribe Called Quest/ Jungle Brothers/ Wu-tang/..pretty much raw lyrics and flow with big beats. My big thing right now are tracks with a heavy lyrical emphasis..like my all time favourite rapper!

Biggie Smalls

Chamillionaire. He's pretty underground where I'm from.

Wow. I looked at your profile for like 2 seconds and just started laughing. You like Bob Marley, weed, girls, you dissed Chamillianare and apparently Zombies. Although pretty common aspects of a personality I think we could be best friends.

I didn't diss Chamillionaire at all, he's my favorite rapper. I mentioned that he was underground where I'm from. Meaning he doesn't get any recognition at all.

I'm pretty new to the world of rap and hip-hop, but im already a fan of Jurassic 5 and wu-tang clan. both have really amazing lyrics and beats.
I recommend A Day at the Races by j5. amazing song!

[Old-Voycoon-Studios]

Lol sorrrry man. Guess a friendship is very unlikley. Other than the obvious...he is pretty much unknown by the majority of people I know. People that do know him tend to either love the one song and not no shit past that or just straight up hate him. I'm from Canada btw.

[ToastedCupcake]

He's my favorite rapper hands-down, he has one of the best flows and a very good vocabulary.

[Old-Voycoon-Studios]

No shit?
If so pass along some of the names of your favourite songs brah

[ToastedCupcake]

I haven't heard a song I haven't liked, but anything off Mixtape Messiah 3 or 4 would be my favorite probably. Especially his version of Put On.

Not trying to be a douche here... But hip-hop is gabage.

Mission: Unsuccessful

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Army of the Pharaohs, which happens to be my most listened to of all the 'underground' rap artists that I've come across.

Check out: Seven
or : I Against I If you prefer something that's a little less killer, by some of the same guys in a group Jedi Mind Tricks.

I'm surprised they haven't been mentioned either. Perhaps they were being avoided because no-one wanted to be the black sheep and try something more mainstream.

[lawlmaster]

lets combine both of them and call it Rip Rop.

[unowned]

its just noise to me
