Rappers who sound alike

Inspired by the thomasv's blog http://philaflava.blogspot.com/2008/12/ ... ne-by.html

Charli 2na sounds exactly like Brother J.
Yogi (The CRU) sounded a lot like Q-Tip.

It took me like a year to figure out there were two rappers in Clipse.

i hear that

we're so white

beyond individual examples.... generally any time a rapper affects a specific 'unusual' voice pattern, he is liable to get lumped in with a bunch of others

gruff voiced ny rappers are the best example of this. nasal rappers and double time southern dudes too.

obviously, the more familiar you are with the artist catalog, the more distinguishable he is to your ear. but in passing without actively paying attention, if you tell me it's impossible to mistake herb mcgruff for nine, i'm gonna call shenenigans

If I'm not mistaken there was once a thread on here with white honesty and it stated many of us (not me) couldn't tell many of the

apart for several years.

I blame my Clipse situation on the fact I didn't like them that much until their 2nd official album so I guess I didn't care enough to find out more.

Jay Electronica is sounding more and more like

i'm guessing this might catch some heat, but i'm dead serious: Qtip and Magoo. they even look vaguely similar

Not sure about the looks cuz I don't remember exactly how Magoo looks but when him and Tim dropped that was pretty much the universal consensus.

one of those cats from Nappy Roots has voice similiar to Scarface's

Thun · Post by **Thun** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 4:30 pm

Magoo does kind of look like a fatter, somewhat darker Q-Tip from the profile especially.

And yes, Q-Tip sounding like Magoo was certainly a hot topic on ughh.com in the fall of 1998.

??, i don't have mod powers in m2c and i haven't edited any of my own stuff in here

i've made some other alterations in certain threads in p&b, but they have gone largely unnoticed, were you referring to those?

anywho, it took me a sec but....

it's hard to find a good pic of the guy, but i stand by it

really have no recollection of the response to this dude when all this came out, never really listened to their stuff and wasn't in the net-rap game at the time. he's just something that pops up into my head during random 'lol 90s' moments. also, when i listen to the Scott Lark ep, who also kinda sounds similar to magoo
