Well, I am not really into rap, but if I had to pick a song it would be The Message by Grandmaster Flash.

Grandmaster sounds good.

My favorites too ! And I play them with my band.
I sampled the beginning of "Prince - Get Off" to get the high pitched sound in Jump Around http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Al9bsDSxyk (I'm the one behind the keyboards (with headphones for the clicktrack)

I used to like Eminem when I was younger, but now I like Atmosphere:

That was the first song of his I heard, here are some more good ones.

I also like Mos Def, and alike.

I don't only listen to rap though, I like pretty much anything.

Edit: Those links are *not* the clean versions, just saying that in case anyone cares.

Fave artist: Eminem. I liked Senser too, back when i was younger and dinosaurs roamed the earth. But I don't know if they're still around (Senser, not dinosaurs. I know dinosaurs still roam the earth).

Fave song: dunno. Eminem's "Superman" springs to mind, but there are others I like just as much.

I'm not a huge fan of rap, but I do like the old-school DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. "Parents Just Don't Understand" and "Nightmare on My Street" are great!

I also like some of the stuff by Queen Latifah (rap and her new jazzy CD).

But as for the hard core rap, it's not for me. House I can do, and electronica, but not Eminem-style rap.

Same here, not that into rap.....but "DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince" was amusing. Beginning of an impressire career for Will Smith.

BTW, something thats also amusing, but a lot dirtier is this- Butterfingers- Everytime. Bordline rap, but its at least related. Warning! Video contains swearing, adult concepts, etc-

I've always been...er...somethign at how fast things changed from the message to the gangsta rap (which I cant stand). *potential political rant removed*

I spose that metal did a similar thing in the same period of time however....

I don't like rap. But the best rapper of all time is without a doubt Sir Mix-a-Lot.:lolflag:

Either Jam On It by Newcleus, or Loddy Doddy by Slick Rick. Snoop Dogg's version of Loddy Doddy was crap.

But I really don't like rap.
