Can anyone reccomend any decent rap albums. I do not have much money and so don't want to buy a CD to find out it's not to my taste.
Also, does anyone else think singles are overpriced. I have bought no more than 3 singles ever and do not intend to buy many more. I think they are a complete con.

P.S I do listen to other types of music as well but I tend to prefer rap, so there is less chance of me not liking it, and wasting my money.

anyone at all?

Sure I can recommend some albums for you to get that I enjoyed.

Wu Tang Clan - Enter the 36 Chambers

The Chronic should be owned even if you're not a rap fan, for track 10: The $20 Sack Period..

take your nu metal somewhere else(say maybe every other thread in ...and rock & roll)

Why don't you just download it on Kazaa?

-Vijeta

New eminem, actually, any of em

If you want a really REALLY good cd Metallica's "...And Justice For All"

sorry there aren't any decent rap albums their all crap

Oh the "rap is crap" line again. Try bein original murdock.

the new red hot chilli peppers album is pretty decent (by the way)
but i would get californication first...
that is if your a RHCP fan, prob not :P

actually i quite liked the singles so i might do.

and i don't get them of kazaa because if everone did that there would be little/no music at all.

p.s rap is crap. fantasic, stunning and unbeleivably original

anything beatie boys
nwa-straight outta compton
mos def-black star
anything eminem

If you like rap etc then listen to Massive Attack and Prodigy. Mezzanine and Fat of the Land (respectively) show that so much more can be done with hip-hop type stuff than just rapping over a casio backbeat and a sample or two. The first album is beautiful, trip-hoppy beats intelligently layered with guitars, synths, raps and stunning female vocals, and the second is a hip-hop/dance/rock hybrid monster of an album that you just can't ignore.
Alternatively, ignore me like everyone else and I'll bugger off.

i agree with cokeboy. massive attack is good.

thanx for the tips everyone,
duz any1 no where i can get hold of eminem - infinite, i cant find it anywhere?
