Hip Hop/Rap thread?

[YankeesFanboy]

I remember seeing this video once when I was like 15 and never saw it again. The album never got released and I forgot about it. All I could remember that the rapper was a red headed guy with a beard that sounded like he had mental issues. I did remember he was signed to Jive so I checked their list of former artists on the wikipedia and found it: Crustified Dibbs!

Wow.

here is one problem i have with hip hop,
I really like hip hop that is aggressive or creepy sounding , like if it was meant for a horror movie, I have only come across a handful of songs that are this way... just a handful really.

I would be the biggest Hip Hop fan in the world if I was able to find more music like this. Even when I try to google it I cant ever find anything like that. Why is that?

Anyone know of any other songs that have this style? I just wish I could find more of this.... creepy, weird, or aggressive, twisted, rough never had any luck... i want more

Wow, common and John legend won an Oscar for their song glory.

does this count as hip hop? i realize the only hip hop i like is when it has cinematic style soundtrack. (violins, guitars, keyboards, ) i like how the music goes with the voice

i guess that explains why i never became a full hip hop fan, the kind of hip hop i would love to listen to doesnt really exist. (outside of rap metal that is )



just like this, i love this, but never found anything else like it.....
the only artist i ever found to have that kind of melodic, cinematic style music is Eminem, i love his first 3 cds.

 

[Kibagami]

Classic one here boys.
