I admit, 50's Massacre is catchy. Is there anything that has the same kinda feel with a little better vocalist?

Also, is there anything similar to Madvillain out there? Because that'd be awesome.

 

[miyuru]

Did you try 50's last album, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'"? I really like his (unfortunately) unreleased album though ("Power of the Dollar"). IMO GRODT is more *catchy*.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forget rap man. Start listening to some Good Charlotte!!! :lol

jk jk </inside joke>

 

[whytemyke]

so what you meant to say was:

Need some crap suggestions

You don't need stuff that sounds like 50 cent. You need stuff that sounds anything BUT 50 Cent... then you'll be on the right track.

 

[Richiban]

Get A Tribe Called Quest - A Low End Theory.

You will not be sorry.

Jay-Z : The Black Album
Mos Def: Black on Both Sides
Talib Kweli: Quality
Notorious B.I.G. : Ready to Die

 

[pjberri]

Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain (VV is one of MFDoom's aliases, and he appears on a track on Madvillainy)

 

[HooDoo]

Aesop Rock
Athmosphere
TES
Sage Francis (and Non-Prophets if you dig Sage Francis)

Nothing like 50 cent though, but that's good rap stuff.

The Goats - Tricks of the Shade

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

Right now I'm digging Devin the Dude. Try getting some of his old stuff his style is unique.

 

[Wellington]

I'm guessing you like the more 'poppy' feel of The Massacre. With that in mind I suggest to you Jay-Z's The Black Album and The Blueprint.

If you want a plain ol' good album, as mentioned above, Notorious BIG's Ready To Die is one of the best of all time.

 

[Fatriani]

don't

 

[Dujour]

Mobb Deep's Hell On Earth

Also, give a listen to Immortal Technique. The man is a genious.

This is the problem with all you elitists. The guy says what album he likes, and you shove a bunch of albums down his throat that I bet he won't enjoy nearly as much as 50's latest.

EDIT: It's more a problem of people not making a proper suggestion. Instead, they only say what they like, instead of going with the original poster's comments. And even worse, they act as if anything other than their music is just plain *wrong* to listen to.

I wholeheartedly agree.

 

[demi]

I'm not a rap enthusiast, but my friends listen to it quite a bit. I do like Tech N9ne though...dunno how hardkore or elitist that is, I'm not up to speed with who is what in the industry!!!!!!industry!!!!

 

[ToxicAdam]

I think Geto Boys would be right up your alley.

 

[Polari]

Practically anything by Kool Keith is great, "Boy in Da Corner" by Dizzee Rascal is pretty good too.

Tupac?

Personally I like Ray Luv for that 90's West Coast kick (strongly recommended to Ninja Scooter) I had lately.

'Rap' is pretty wide- what else do you like?

 

[warhead]

If you can handle the voice: Quasimoto. You might wanna check Jaylib out to since that's another Madlib Project. MF Doom's stuff is great too, Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah etc
