Let's make a guide to hip hop and rap, introducing the genre to a newbie. Lets put up lots of styles and artists, so they can see what they like and dont, so lets try and make a broad spectrum, and cover each bit of the spectrum with a decent amount of songs.


For instance we could put a few songs of a similar area of rap ( lets say a few eminem )

Then a few of a different area, lets say rahkim.

Put up links to songs,
albums that a newbie may like to buy,
Artists etc.

I will start with one of my faves:

/\ not sure if this is the whole song or not?

Brotha lynch hung, known for being disgusting apparently. Ive only heard a few of his songs and havent come across him being disgusting yet, and dont really want to.

Some old school snoop dogg:

I love this video /\ watching it a couple years back was so cool. Although I think this is the cencored version, not really as good.

A beginner's guide should start at the beginning - or at least reference the beginning. Brotha Lynch Hung? Try going back about 30 years...
