Hip-Hop's Version of the Recommendation Game

Same rules as the one in the music forum except this is only rap, hip hop and R&B. I'll start.

Eminem- No Apologies

 

B-

I'm not a fan of Eminem (I really can't stand him), but I gave it a listen. I guess the beat is okay but the chorus is boring and his voice is annoying. Lyrically above average.

The Roots - three part "In The Music", "Here I Come", "Don't Feel Right" medly.

If you guys don't know the rules:

1. Give a grade from A+ to F depending on how good or bad the song is.
2. Post only one song at a time.

 

My bad. Fixed.

 

I'll get this restarted with some Pharoahe Monch:

C - I like Pharoahe, but that's not one of my favorites. Sometimes his voice is annoying to me, and that song is one of the ones where his voice annoys me enough to ruin the entire song.

Mr. Lif - Live from the plantation

Kind of a weird song, I know. He's a pretty unique MC, obviously not for everybody if you catch my drift.

 

Classic sh*t right here.

A
One of my favorite songs of all time.

C, its a deep song but i rather not here about how a little girl gets raped in a song

C-, It's alright, Kind of annoying after 2 minutes into the song.

I just thought about this song the other day. What happened to DMX? He used to be awesome when he didn't raise and lower his voice every single song.

 

B-

One of my favourite DMX songs. He'll be down here soon, I wanted to go to his concert, but I'm the only one in my circle of friends who wants to go, lol.

A

Mos Def is one of the greatest, especially that album and song


Something a little different:

Cannibal Ox - Painkillers (the only video they have unfortunately)

 

B

Not bad, I've been meaning to check out Ox for some time now, but for whatever reason never have gotten around to it. I thought it was a decent song, enough to make me want to hear more of his stuff. Sounds like Tash from the Liks.

"C.R.E.A.M" by Wu-Tang Clan

 

^B, Classic WU.

I can't find an unedited version, but it's still a sick song.
