Of course, if someone can recommend rap without samples and without annoying speech (in the vein of the bands above-mentioned) I would be glad to move forward with a constructive discussion.

...So you know that Paul's Boutique is basically constructed MAINLY out of samples, right?
Heaven's made a cesspool of us all.

''Annoying speech''? What does that even mean? That part where they speak rhythmically without much melody? That's what rap is. Can't do much to help ya with that.

And I hate to keep pushing this particular album as often as I do, but I'm telling you, a nice, intense listen to ''Endtroducing.....'' by DJ Shadow should show you just how valid sample-based music is. So your comment about sampling makes no sense, either.

Oh yeah, jokes on me for missing that RIDICULOUS "I hate samples but I love Paul's Boutique" remark as PB is one of the most sample dense works there is. In fact it was partly responsible for the great "SAMPLE EMBARGO" that began in 1991 and paved the way for Dr Dre who didn't lean so heavily on them. Without it he may never have taken off.
