I've reciently gotten into rap and I like a lot of what's on the radio. The artists I like are Juvenile, Nappy Roots, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, and Eminem. The songs I have now are mostly new stuff so I don't mind old stuff too. I got Snoop Dogg's old cd Doggy Style and I like it a lot. Any suggestions on some good songs?

If you don't like rap please don't post. Thanks.

Not really mainstream rap, but they are true Hip Hop...

Doesn't exist, with the exception of old-school Snoop and Dre. Dig into some of the aforementioned "underground" / "lesser-known" groups, you'll be pleasantly surprised. :)

Exactly. Mainstream = bling bling garbage. Some of the lesser known stuff is fairly decent though.
