Just picked up this one today..

Keith Murray

Rap-Murr-Phobia (The Fear Of Real Hip-Hop)

Just started listening but its sounding like some good old mid 90's hip-hop.. I like it.. :thumbup:

If you can all see past the visuals.. This is a good song.. Nothing like the current day rap.. Its all about making yourself better..

2Pac and MC Breed..

Always loved this track...

It'd be nice if we can find Spice1 with PAC in "Jealous got me strapped" from Amerikkka's Nightmare(Spice's best album IMO)...

I really like this guy. He's more Reggae than rap I think (which is probably why I like him so much), but he mixes them well.

I just watched this.. Im sure this isnt hip-hop.. I hear hip-hop influences, but it aint hip-hop, and Ive never heard of the dude.. It seems more SKA to me than anything.. Nice lil joint though..

I been to Best Buy many times trying to find this cd.. Guess my asking finally got them to stock it.. Best hip-hop album I heard in a while.. Real hip hop.. And its from the Westcoast which is a plus..

You wont see any rapper these days do this these days.. Be amongst the people.. They need bodygaurds.. Its 2Pac.. Man of the people for the people, for right not wrong.. This aint a video, this is a home video...

Picked up both the Kanye and 50 CDs. IMHO Graduation is Kanye's best work so far. 50 still hasn't been able to make a CD that can come close to his first one.

50 has gone down hill in alot of ways since he first came out (on Shady).. But the true great stuff is pre-Shady, the G-Unit mixtapes.. Classic! I burnt them for 100% about 4 years ago.. Was like 3 or 4 discs in all I think..

This new Kanye has me intrigued, although I havent liked any of the songs on the radio .. But, then again, I havent heard any of them all the way thru since radio isnt my thing unless Im driving..

The two singles that have been released are in my opinion two of the worst songs on the whole CD.

He's released 4 I think.. Some that were just meant to test the waters thats why he pushed it back cuz they didnt get good feedback..

After you get it let me know what you think. Its got a different sound than alot of the stuff that is out right now. I am really impressed with it so far.

Old Spice-1 knocks, my order would have to go 187 he wrote, then Amerikkka's Nightmare, he's got a few good ones that he's released last year, too. But you cant beat his older stuff

I just copped this, this guys sounds like an older Three Six Mafia, if you like that Dark Memphis Sound I would swoop it, most mainstream stuff is Rap pop commercial crap. Corporate interests exploited the Rap scene, so I mainly mess with the Indie stuff, the Underground. This came out like last month and its pretty tight.

Got Kanye's new album today.. It was being billed as as good or better than his 1st cd.. I dont think so.. There are some very weird tracks on it.. Like spaced out crap.. And one or two horrible annoying tracks.. But overall a solid worth of the 10 bucks I spent on it..

Theres a reason this dude aint mainstream.. Its cuz he sucks.. Very bad too.. And I think with this post you may have just doomed underground hip-hop for years.. This is not all underground hip-hop is.. The EV (Evidence) album I posted earlier this past week is underground and is an exact 180 from this garbage.. I didnt think they still made rappers like this.. I remember being in HS in the early 90's and I first started hearing rappers like this, and when I got them, I threw the tape (yup, I said tape :D ) outta the window of my car while driving.. If you heard one rapper like that, you heard them all (subject matter and them being crap)....
