well, Ive never really listened to any rap, and I hate sellout shit. so does anybody have any suggestions for some GOOD rap? Not shit thats gangsta, trying to intimidate each other and all that.. I'm looking for some rap with meaning. and dont say tupac. sorry for the shitty grammar.. words are not my friend atm. oh and I like instruments. Not just a basic beat and a guy rapping
I was looking for the same thing as you.. Awesome rap that has meaning and is crazy good. My good friend, I introduce to you, Jedi Mind Tricks.
