Thanks so far guys, I went through all these and got some new tunes but im ALWAYS looking for more so keep it coming. I looked up some other shit too, Ice Cube's newest albums bangin pretty hard. I deff get down with that gangster sound, And my fav has a touch of funk in it. So hit me up.
you should preview (dont laugh) t.i. vs. t.i.p --I listened to it on youtube, I definately like it better than jay-z's kingdom come cd ect.. If youdont buy it, search for it on youtube, but i reccomend that you do KSR its kinda hard to find the full tracks instead of the samples--but its good stuff

Gucci Mane- Hit Another Lick Gucci Mane- Me and My *****s DJ Smallz and Tum Tum- E-Class AK and Big Kuntry King- Pusher Styles P and Jadakiss- Shots Fired (one of the best diss songs ever, better than ether if you ask me, heavily underrated!) 504 Boyz- Them People The Game- Razor I really don't know what you like.

Aight im changing what i want to hear about. New mainstream fuckin irks me. MIMS makes my ears bleed. Fucka TI, Ect. Some newer shit is good but the majority of NEW music on tha radio i could give a fuck less. My radio station will take it back to the classics which i like. But im lookin for 'gangster' rap, I want them real people tho. Lil Wayne aient gangster. I mean mainstream like Dre, Ol Snoop, NWA, Ice Cube, Mack 10, Master P, 2pac, ect. Less known/Underground like C-Bo, Celly Cel, Rappin 4-Tay ect. Ill get down with other shit that has a good meaning and a good beat, Good beats essential. So keep that in mind for shit i want to hear. Im big into the G-Funk era and want to hear new G-Funk, But not many people doing it.
