DJ Kool - Let me clear my throat

Kristok

skee lo - i wish

Makaveli

Luniz - I Got 5 On It

StevieG

Snow-Informer (Thankfully)

FTA69

Informer was truly shocking, as much as I hate touts myself some clown with round glasses and wavy brown hair have no right to portray themselves as hard-men.

House of Pain- Jump Around (although their subsequent album went gold didn't it?)

Ay Cee

As opposed to a load of these middle class rappers claiming to be from "the hood"?

HOP's Same As It Ever Was is a brilliant album!

FTA69

What are you on about? Which middle-class rappers did I laud on this thread?

Cyrus

da luniz album was pretty good

Kristok

yes what middle class rappers, puffy is the only one i can think of and he never claims to be from the hood or whatever.

FTA69

When I listed Blazin Squad as some of the best rappers I was taking the p*ss by the way.

Ay Cee

I wasn't on about you. I was on about the rappers who claim to be. Biggie is the first to spring to mind, his own mother admitted so.

Cube wasn't from Compton and grew in a fairly respectable area.

There's loads more.

Wasn't having a dig at you.

Kristok

biggie was from broklyn not exactly the upper east side, and his mother gave him a good childhood but dispite his surroundings but he still got in trouble and was a drug dealer if not a major one.

I dont know where cube was from but wasnt he a member of the bloods before getting into rap ?

Why do most topics always end up going off on a tangent about biggie or tupac? Back to matters in hand
Mystikal - Shake ya ass

Kristok

Threads always go off topic around here ALWAYS.

Back on topic.

Mystikal ? Shake your ass is off lets get ready and i think danger was a bigger hit. He is no one hit wonder he just had one or two songs that where really really big but hes been around for ages.

ubu

A+ - Enjoy Yourself

hiphopfanno1

Coolio -Gangsters Paradise

He's in jail for rape I believe.

Kristok

he surly is, it wasnt rape it was extortion he found out she stole money from him and he said if she gave him and whoever else was there oral he would not tell the police, well she decided afterwards to tell them instead. He is suppose to be out in a while.

Ice2900

Blazin Squad - massive

FTA69

Coolio -Gangsters Paradise

Coolio had a hit with C U When U Get There. He's not a one hit wonder, Gangsta's Paradise is also a savage tune.

and also 1,2,3,4. yes gangstas paradise is savage. definately his biggest, most popular one though

Makaveli

Indeed, a song, I'm sure, that got a lot of people into Hip-Hop in the first place.
Must be almost 10 years old at this stage, time flies.

ubu

Makaveli

Whoops I don't think I heard the others though I was too young to hear them when they were out and I just thought Gangsters Paradise because I hear it everywhere and never hear any other Coolio tune.

Makaveli

See You When You Get There came out a year or two after Gangsta's Paradise.

echomadman

all you damn whippersnappers are forgetting, Coolio released Fantastic voyage before Gangstas paradise

Makaveli

Indeed he did, and ironically since reading this thread that song has been stuck in my head.

Evzer

Iconz - Get ****ed/crunked up

Afaik rape wasnt the charge and I dont see it as the same thing personally, she could have said no and not done it.
