Hardcore rap noob research

[Vincere]

Ok, seems like there's some heavy rap connoisseurs here so let's post it here.

I'm actually going into some rap stuffs and would need advice. I'm looking for some hardcore stuff, no R'n'B shit please, more in this vein. Yes I'm a metalhead, so what.

So I'm open to every bands you can list. Thanks a lot.

I must say Booba sucks in my opinion, he's like France's version of 50 cent, a mere copycat. As far as french hip hop goes there is much better shit. I got some real Hip Hop from France for ya.

I used to like this until they wore it out at the club. Hardcore crunk shit.

oldschool three six Mafia shit. This shit used to get me hyped.

I what i posted fit your description of "hardcore" rap. If not i'll try again.

p.s. stay far away from Booba, he sucks, lol. There are plenty of better french rappers.

 

[Vincere]

Thanks spin. That pretty much fits what I'm looking for even if some stuffs seem outdated lol. No offense btw.
As for Booba, I don't give a shit about him, this was just to give an example. His lyrics are over bling-bling-pathetic.

But keep the good shit coming.

DJ Screw, find him and branch out from there. He literally worked with everyone you can imagine. Anyone that attempts to imitate what he did can't even come close.

For starters grab the album 11.16.00. This is a compilation album put together by the Screw Foundation run my his father to commerate his death. This is about the only Screw album you'll be able to find in stores, these things are like goldust... His family still runs a screwed up record store in Houston, Texas that sells nothing but his old tapes, so you can image how many tapes he originally made (I know know of at least 550).

Here are some semi-underground to underground non Hip-Pop artists that I like:

Binary Star
Jedi Mind Tricks
MF Doom
Mad Lib
KRS-One
Benefit
Wu Tang Cland (Wu Tang Forever CD)
Mos Def (Older stuff only)
Talib Kweli (Older Stuff Only)
Nas (Illmatic album only)
Brotha Lynch (If nasty/ridiculous lyrics do not offend you, his beats and ryming(sp) is great)

 

[jp.]

When I think "hardcore rap" I typically think about Gravediggaz, Flatlinerz, Esham, Geto Boys, Eazy-E, early Bone thugs-n-harmony, Graveyard Shift, Brotha Lynch Hung, Spice-1, Goretex, Ill Bill, Non-Phixion, Jedi Mind Tricks, and... those would be my main ones.

You can't go wrong w/Gang Starr, the Mobb Deep of old, and KRS-ONE.

Oh yeah, listen to more Ghostface. Don't think, just do it.

Quannum?

I don't like anything listed in this thread with the exception of old KRS.

You might like Cage. I like his beats, lyrics not so much. He's actualy an excellent lyricist, I just don't dig the shit he talks about. But I don't dig the shit most rappers talk about. It's all the same drivel 90% of the time.
