Classics / Nowadays

People are always looking for new music, they are always looking for something different than the normal, but sometimes you need the norm, and sometimes you need the CLASSICS. These are oldies that have sentimental value for many of those who were alive when they came out. For the rest of us who where born after their release, they seem to represent the past, what music used to be and its influence on today's music.

Classics:
Thugz Mansion by 2pac (remix with Nas aswell)
Changes by 2pac
Juicy by The Notorious B.I.G.
Da Funk by Daft Punk

Back in the present:
Some things never change, what is rap really about? Drugs? Sex? I like a rapper who has good flow and whose songs sound good, but I admire a rapper who raps about other things more personal to them, that is when they become more than just a face, they become an artist.

Artists:
Consequence
The Game
Nas
Ratatat (DJ)
Wale

somewhat different (lol)


another good one
