Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[Maximus Meridius]

This Fat Joe/Dre from Cool & Dre album, is Dre just producing, or is he rapping too? If he’s rapping, ehhhhhhh....

Dre was the Pharrell of Miami for a sec

Smoking dope. Y’all don’t understand how heavy Nip was out west. I get it bc we on the internet so if he wasn’t jumping on the internet then it ain’t happen. But believe me, Nip was the top name in LA for years.

That would make him the epitome of a regional legend

 

[Magic33]

You guys can't even have this discussion about someone who's dead.

 

[a blinkin]

Dre is meh at rapping, but he laced Joe with the production.

This sounds petter that’s plato o plomo off my first listen.

-ye shrug

 

[D StaXX]

Future/Thug influence undeniable.
**** fire tho.

Is Turncoat69 a legend? According to ninjahood , he is........

 

[iamdef]

Do we need to define legend because I feel like the way it's being used is both out of respect and out of mockery.

69 is a "legend" in the right of being able to basically run up in a NY gang, become the leader, and take it all down within what 2-3 years? He's not a rap legend by no means but his run from start to wherever he finishes will be talked about for a long time

 

[a blinkin]

Honestly, at this point we only talk about 69 when Grimey brings him up.

He a fan on the low. No one else in here cares about son. Grand opening grand closing. I’m not calling any snitch a legend.

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

I'd say Twista is a legend and I'm not from Chicago

If we go by definition, pretty sure Nip wasn't a legend when he was alive.

 

[MajinZuub]

Twista is def a legend.
As far as nobody out west cares, he headlined the second day of a 2 day show that Griselda headlined the day before in Oakland a few months ago

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Twista is definitely a legend. Style and impact.

[D StaXX]

Son wilding saying no one outside Chicago considers Twista a legend.

 

[MajinZuub]

There is one somewhere buried in the forum

$tacy Drought finally over.

I would too

 

[doxen5703]

Nipsey is legendary based off of way more than music. If it is just music alone, I’m not rollin and I’m a big Nip fan.

I wanted to hear that Dre solo album back then bad. Cool and Dre got some crazy beats.

 

[Magic33]

You dudes throw around legend like you do the term classic.

Twista gets brought up in this topic once a year and I never see his videos, and now he's a legend?

25 years ago today, the soundtrack to the film Street Fighter was released.

The film was trash, but the soundtrack had some bangers.

Ice Cube with a song, appropriately called "Street Fighter":



Illmatic-era Nas:



The Pharcyde:



Paris:



MC Hammer and Deion Sanders, which charted in the UK, for some reason.
Jean-Claude Van Damme and some other Street Fighter actors appear in the music video as well.
