So what ? I don't dislike totally rap but it's certainly the last musical genre I would be interested in (although I still like some run-dmc, cypress hill or beastie boys (especially paul's boutique) from time to time), but I wouldn't pay too much to hear in the recent artists, especially, someone who speaks with a lot of insults and some samples as background music.
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?

''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.
My cousin seen Blackalicious live and he said it was the best hip hop show he ever been to so far. I have heard some of his stuff and i like. Need to dig more into his material
