havent read all the replies, but here are my suggestions: Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle Dr. Dre - The Chronic NWA - Straight Outta Compton Heiroglyphics - Full Circle Souls of Mischief - '93 till infinity KRS-One - Kristyles Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang Wu Tang Clan - Liquid Swords Public Enemy - It takes a nation of millions to hold us back Outkast - Atliens there is some stuff
yea overhack, i agree their good. i have most of them already though. i like WTC quite alot. i like c.r.e.a.m the best.
heres a few more: Boogie Down Productions Big Daddy Kane Slick Rick Kool Moe Dee De La Soul A Tribe Called Quest Pete Rock
Eazy E started gangster rap, thats for sure... but I gotta say, his rhymes are pretty weak. He was illiterate so don't expect much from him. He was okay on a few songs but he has the rhymes of a 6 year old.
I think Public Enemy were equally as influencial as NWA, but whenever I listened to PE they sounded a bit...flat. I bought It takes a nation of millions to hold us back and loved it though. I also recently got the 10th anniversary tribute to Straight Outta Compton, no where near as good as the original. Which in my opinion says that rap back in the early 90's late 80's is better than it is now. But many modern artists are very good, Dre is as good as ever. Eminem I really don't like, 50 cent has grown on me and Snoop is brilliant.
get the f outta here, eminem is pop? you only say that cuz he doesn't rap about bitches and money psshh even Dre said em was brilliant even em's emeinies admit he's brilliant and where was he rapping for pop charts?
I think Eminem has recently become pop, a few years back when he did songs like What's The Difference he was rap, now all his songs seem bent on humour, take Ass Like That for an example. Eazy E was funny but in a different way.

because rap is getting all about guns, shooting and stuff and his songs don't base on that, it's based on humor which is not pop
It's all a matter of opinion, I can see that Eminem has skill, I just personally dislike his voice among other things.
I'll give Eazy E the benefit of the doubt and say that up until that point, a GOOD majority of rapping was incredibly simple and, well, wack by today's standards. But, still, to say he was a good rapper or lyricist is kinda out there...
well since a lot have been said... and me being into every style of music, i must add the group called the beatnuts... theyve been around for over ten years, and every one of their albums have been memorable for me...
Heh Eazy-E was alright, i like some songs, like easy-does it, boyz n the hood, and reall compton city g's, also about eminem, he is a great rapper, if you listen to his early stuff, like roll model, stuff like that, before ppl started hating him, also superman is good, anyways, BTNH, you HAVE to get some of that!!!!!! BTNHone Thugs-N-Harmony btw
