need some good rap songs.

[minus1972]

alright...I'm getting into hip hop more and more as of late, and I'm now getting lost as to what to listen to. I started out with the obligatory Eminem/50 Cent/pop rap stuff, and that's all well and good, but I'm moving more towards laid back hip hop, and I've found that I really like stuff like the Streets, Ms. Dynamite, Jurassic 5, the Roots, Zion-i, that sort of sound. I've also been trying to go through older stuff too, like B.I.G and 2Pac. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to check out? Thanks.

I recommend Jurassic 5, Roots, Zion I, Deltron 3030, Wu-Tang Clan, Binary Star. Bah, 50 Cent can eat a fat one.
