i am a little tired if the music that i am listening to nowadays so i wanted u guys to give me some new stuff to listen to

i would prefer rap or R n B but any thing is ok

i already listen to alot of lil wayne eminem and tech n9ne so none of that please

also if u no any really good 2pac songs that would be great

sv93:
lil wayne is dead... but if you were into metal and stuff i would reccomend Death Magnetic, its an amazing album.

Death Magnetic was far from "amazing", IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!!!

My top 3 are:
>Slipknot - Vol.3
>Metallica - Death Magnetic
>Cradle of Filth - Harder, Darker, Faster, Thornography deluxe edition.

Oh, and let me re-direct you to a little thread you may want to read.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.76091

asheru, mf doom, talib kwali. but that's for if you want new hip-hop

The very first gravediggers album the one with "Bang your head" on it is amazing. The name escapes me but it drips with the sort of lyrical black humour redolent of the first Eminem album.

Any Public enemy at all, Grandmaster Flash, The Sugar Hill gang, parliament and funkadelic the roots of many of the samples from modern hip hop.

I may be teaching grandmother to suck eggs but you wanted suggestions!

If you're looking for good hip-hop I'll point you toward some lesser known (Underground) stuff that's pretty damn good:

Jedi Mind Tricks
The Cool Kids
Army of the Pharaohs

For anything else, try Pandora. You put in the name of an artist or song you like, and it creates a custom radio station for you with similar music. Best of all, it's free.

R'n'B you say? Well, you can't go wrong with the classics; a little BB King, some Eric Clapton and maybe a bit of Otis Redding should satiate your appetite.

Iron Maiden.

Beat me to it on those 3, all absolutely brililant, so I'll just add a few of my own choices

Snowgoons
La Coka Nosta
Wu Tang Clan
Canibus
Necro
Reef The Lost Cauze
Spank Rock
Bangers And Cash
Virus Syndicate
Roll Deep (don't get the latest album though, it's awful)
Jurassic 5
Black Star

People like you don't exist on the escapist :O

Celldweller.
Just do it. You'll thank me later.

Run DMC is just awesome.
I'd recommend King of Rock, and the collaboration he did with Aerosmith to remix Walk This Way.

Plus, give Red Hot Chili Peppers (The old RHCP) a listen. Those rapped vocals just go so well to the funky bass and sweet guitar.

When you say "people like me" is that a good thing?

Avenged Sevenfold :l

Am I the only one that thinks Lil Wayne sounds like a talking platypus?

How would you know what a talking platypus sounds like?

No you're not!

Frankly I'd never trust/listen to the music of someone who managed to shoot themself in the chest by accident anyway.

PersianLlama:
Iron Maiden.

As much as I scream "up the irons" at every opportunity a lot of R&B or Rappers probably aren't going to be into real music like this.

Grab some soundtracks for appropriate movies (a couple that jump to mind are Blade (any one of the three) and Exit Wounds). Find a couple tracks you like and go from there.

Despite being a fairly heavy metal head I occasionally chill out to some King Kapisi - a Samoan HipHop artist. Pretty good music, albeit a little obscure and sometimes hard to find in record stores.

Cheers

Well to me yes I never thought I would see some one else who like dub set and grime on these boards.

Ah, silly me. I forgot, Wikipedia told me what a talking elephant sounds like.

Here is something other than RnB/rap for you to poke your ears at.

Portishead
Massive Attack
Filter
Frontline Assembly
Pitchshifter
Fear Factory
Anberlin

Also, give Rage Against The Machine a try. Rapped vocals + Rock/Metal aspects = Win.

Pretty much everybody who has posted in this thread:
He'd rather have recommendations for Rap/RnB music? Screw that! I'm posting artist that I like and there's nothing you can do about it!

Seriously? I thought it was common courtesy to read the OP.

Give this a try. Between the shit is some real treasures to find. And do try to search on "ParagonX9" while you're there.

I posted the closest things that are rap to me.
Hell, I posted Run DMC, what more can anyone want? It's Run DMC.

Phew, I thought it might've been going the "GTFO off my board you filthy charv" way, disaster averted!

I must say I've never talked to another gamer with an interest in grime or dubstep either.

Have you got the new Virus Syndicate album, its much better than the first one which is saying a lot.

The Kinks. You can't go wrong with the classics.

Or Air. Air is amazing. New Order. Listen to New Order.

And for more rap-y, look up The Mad Conductor. I have an amazing last.fm page. Check my Profile page.

Oh and HEARTSREVOLUTION.

In summation:

The Kinks
Air
Mad Conductor
New Order
HEARTSREVOLUTION

Damn aint to good with rap or RnB I'm mostly into metal and rock.
Try listening to the late,great Biggie Smalls also known as The Notorious B.I.G

Meshuggah
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Sciamachy
Sleepytime Gorillia Museum
Bjork
Ghost Face Killa
