Some good Rap for being stoned-If you feel open minded, check it out

[God's Son]

Wasup everyone. It seems to me that stoners generally dont listen to a lot of rap, here on the boards and in my close group of friends. Everyone knows and respects stoner artists like Phish and The Doors, but when it comes to rap people generally just think its all bland "pop a ho, bling bling" type shit. NOT TRUE! Generally the stereotype is true for radio rap, but as with any genre, the true gems lie underneath the pile of garbage. Please take the following song suggestions in with an open mind, spark up that herb, and enjoy!





Three Six Mafia-Late Night Tip

^^^^^
Kind of a slow beat with really good flows from everyone in the song. Good chill out song and kind of a good song to listen with a girl.

Benefit-Warp to world 6-9

^^^^^
Benefit has one of the best flows of our time, in my opinion. This song is a parody of Super Mario Bros. and is even set to the beat. The story is about a "ghettofied" view of the original Super Mario Bros. game, where Benefit raps about how Mario needs to save the princess because he wants some pussy. Hilarious.

Cypress Hill-Roll it up, Light it up, Smoke it up

^^^^
Just a good tokin' song. Cypress Hill are the kings of chronic.

Mobb Deep-Shook Ones pt.2

^^^^
Not particularly about weed, but I thought I'd throw this in just because its a great song. It's gangsta.

Mr.Lif-Pulse Cannon

^^^^
This song is fuckin insane, particularly if you have a nice system you can listen to it on. LISTEN TO THIS SONG.

Nas-It Ain't Hard To Tell

^^^^
It Ain't Hard To Tell, Nas excells.

Sage Francis-Makeshift Patriot

^^^^
Political rap song by a very talented artist.

Tech N9ne-T9X

^^^^
A story about a mans journey through different kinds of drugs, all in one night. Weed, ecstasy, GHB, Acid...its all in this song. This song is better with a good system and good bass.

Twista-Adrenaline Rush

^^^^
Twista is the fastest rapper in the world, but he's also a very good one. The first two verses in this song are just bonkers. It's gangsta.

I agree whole heartedly, people really don't know the pure variety of hip hop out there, I'm the dorkiest of white dudes but I don't care at all, the lyrics are amazing in some of these songs and it's the closest thing to real contemporary poetry.

Right now my favorite rap artists are Del the funky homosapian, Digable Planets and Aesop Rock.

[Love & Loyalty]

Lets not forget the best rap group ever ... "Jedi Mind Tricks"

[Bomba]

Gotta love the open mindedness here I usually listen to rap and r&b, other genres I listen to depending on my mood...so very true about the true gems under the garbage...I'm speechless when it comes to most commercial rap, but the actual artists who focus on lyrics, flow, and the stuff that makes rap music beautiful just as any other genre are great = ] *Edit* Although, there is occasionally "commercial" artists who I do enjoy lol... I would recommend Ying Yang Twins - Me & My Brother , the album doesn't shine too much when it comes to deep meanings in the songs and its not very poetic, but I consider it good music for when you're in a good energetic type mood = ]

[vacntskies]
