"Now, this is a story all about how My sex-life got flipped, turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you why I'm posting this right here In the West Midlands, born and raised On the forums are where I spend most of my days Chillin' out, whackin', playin' the fool And shootin' some spunk outside of my tool When a couple of girls who looked really good Turned out to live near to my neighbourhood I messaged one the other night and and it said "Read" She replied "You must be joking, you've got a bald head!" I winked at the other and sent a face pic Cos' their profile said "Please, no more pictures of dicks" If anything I thought this profile was rare But I thought "Nah, forget it, maybe she won't care" I pulled up to her house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabbie "Yo holmes, smell ya later" I looked at my manhood I was finally there But she sat on my face as I gasped for air... " Nice one, very good. | |||

"I grew up with a lot of the original stuff of the 80's/90's- so Run DMC, Grandmaster Flash through to The Beasties, Public Enemy & Snoop. Everyone had their own style and sound and seemed to be pushing the boundaries in some way. Current stuff in comparison is utter bilge, sounds like it was squirted out of a production line like some cheap Europop by clowns who all seem have the same look and personality- apart from Kanye (or whatever he's called this week), who just seems to be a mentally unstable walking ego. The whole genre has become a giant parody of itself devoid of any class or innovation "Completely disagree with the bit about music nowadays. I think the beauty of rap is in its evolution through time and how it has come to be so many different sub genres. There’s also plenty of rappers that are different and have different sounds and play about with different things. | |||

"Love 90s rap music. Grew up listening to it with my dad. Especially NWA, Ice Cube, Tupac, snoop, Nas, Jay Z. Now love Kendrick and J Cole too. But must admit that these days I’m a big big fan of the UK scene. Secondary school through to now I’ve loved Skepta, JME, Kano, Bashy, Ghetts, Giggs. Now love Dave, Aitch, J Hus. Probably not anyone on here’s tastes but also Nines, Headie One and Digga D. "Mr A went to see Dave in concert the other day, he loves the artists you mentioned, he said Hazey is a good up and coming artist | |||

Rap will always belong to the streets as the artists say. That music, that’s a reflection of the worlds that the artists live, still exists and it’s still accessible.

"Ours Samplus are awesome!! "No way! Someone that knows them!!! Yeah so good! I'm currently planning a trip to France to see them play. You heard of Jim, Dekobe or brock berrigan? Some of other favs | |||

"Probably an age thing, but not for me. You would probably feel the same about 80s and 90s dance music, which i love. Each to their own." No I love 80s and 90s music. Part of hip hop culture is using samples from old records so most beatmakers have a very eclectic taste | |||

Where can I watch this? "It’s on Netflix. There’s 4 series but only a few episodes in each. It starts at the beginning of hip hop, late 70’s/early 80’s house and block parties and covers everything up to modern hip hop. I like to think I know a lot about the genre but this showed me so much I hadn’t already seen. | |||

"More recommends: Akashik Ancestors, Epidemic, Haez One, Snowgoons, Immortal Technique, Moka Only, The Beyonders, Apakalypse, Aesop Rock, Worldwide, Lord Beatjitzu." Moka only is dope! So many albums but some really good stuff. Going to work my way through the rest | |||

"Depends on the lyrics mainly. If they're talking about how amazing they are, how much money and swag they have then not for me ta. Now, if they're telling me a story with a message that will benefit the universe or make me laugh then sound." Same. Carlos likes happy rap like the young MC. | |||
"Depends on the lyrics mainly. If they're talking about how amazing they are, how much money and swag they have then not for me ta. Now, if they're telling me a story with a message that will benefit the universe or make me laugh then sound." I'm the same. But for me it's more about the beat than the lyrics. Generally people who chat rubbish have crap beats. The difference is the underground and commercial bullhonk. Who knows why people talking about degrading women, money and bling is more popular than deep meaningful lyrics. Always baffeled me | |||

"wow..youve heard of JIM and Brock Berrigan..thats pretty amazing haha Youd like fluhalp, Sweeps, Brother VINK, Planet Ragtime, brunch Collect, Loot Fattig (loop holes), 90sFlav, Chinsaku, HIP DOZER, El Jazzy Chavo also" So good that I've never heard of any of these. It rarely happens. Going to get on listening to them all once I finish on my piano. Then onto your soundcloud. Thanks again! | |||

He's a independent artist and his gf Nova rockafella produces the videos which are really good. I'm not a fan of 'modern' rappers but this guy is different. | |||

"Grew up on East Coast hip hop (Ruff Ryders, The LOX, Mobb Deep, Wu Tang, DJ Clue) etc. Still listen to the same sort of stuff and also Griselda, Statik Selektah, 9th Wonder, DJ Premier type shit. If you like laid back, jazzy lo fi, I really recommend Zmeyev "Zmeyev is a really good producer | |||
"Without repeating many a great suggestion throughout the thread I don't believe Mos Def or Dialted Peoples were mentioned... I've a soft spot for both. Jedi Mind Tricks, CunninLynguists, The Roots." Cunninlynguists are up there for me. Such good beats and brilliant lyricists | |||

Zmeyev is a really good producer "Yeah Ymeyev is ace! Thanks for the recommendations again! chinsaku and fluhalp are both so good.
