I'm making this thread for people who like rap and Hip-hop, closely related genres, and gossip.
I doubt there are many Rap and Hip-hop fans on Funkypool but worth a try :)

So did anyone go to the Reading Festival and see Eminem performing?

bit of gossip for you, straight from the grapevine!

he in the form of ashes under the sea mate !

Why do you doubt people soon as you type. I been a fan or Eminem and many others before you were even born I am not the type for festivals and concerts but have made the exceptions for Eminem, D12 and 50 Cent.

Aye,Eminem and D12 always being awesome.

Currently listening to Curtain Calls actually lol

I hear Eminem isn't too happy his daughters dating someone who says they love his music, especially seeing as his lyrics were vial and obscene

Love rap rock. Limp Bizkit, Hollywood Undead, Rage against the Machine....need I say more.

Good point bluenose lol, maybe i should think more carefully before i type :)
Have you heard Eminem's new song 'berzerk'?

Love this lol, bit different but good

2pac was the best, then Eyedea & Abilities was the best, Nas was pretty ill, Wu-Tang for a while ruled, Busta Rhymes was unreal at times! Now i would say canibus is maybe the best, but then you got Jedi Mind Tricks coming with that east coast passion! Andre 3000 & Big Boi..man these guys "were" hip hop for a while!

Watsky is a guy from San Fransisco, he is very fast, hilarious, does poetry on stage, and is very talented, check him out, right now he is my favorite hip hop artist, i crown him king! If eyedea was alive (R.I.P.), he is hands down the illest lyricist ever!

So right now...main stream, hip hop died....but underground, it is very very much alive

Rap:


There's my favs! No more no less.. There are others, but at some point you have to separate the best from the "right underneath the best!"
