3 indefensible rappers you like...

[Captin Planit]

Wyclef (circa The Carnival).
Pharrell (circa In My Mind).
Magoo (circa Welcome 2 Our World).

[Larry2times]

Welcome To Our World is a front to back classic and Magoo is the most unfairly maligned since Silkk. I went along with that one for years til like last year and was kicking myself.

[ChaMerZ]

had to google 'indefensible'

1. Cam'ron
2. ASAP Rocky
3. Ken Rebel

EDIT:
Just noticed that all of 'em are from Harlem. interesting.

[step one]

It's probably more certain songs but I like a fair bit of stuff by:

Consequence - specifically the 'Take Em To The Cleaners' CD
Yo Gotti - not sure what the general consensus is on him
Joe Budden - the early mixtape freestyles mostly

[step one]

1. Cam'ron

Dude

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

1. Cam'ron

Dude

but on that tip, i kinda like jim jones
-ja has some nice verses
-zach de la rocha

[Combo7]

Welcome To Our World is a front to back classic

[Kid That's Lifeless]

Pick three dudes who rapped over a Lil Jon hit in the mid-2000's.

[Blockhead]

Malachi the nut cracker
Tim dog
Gangsta fag

[Xaula Zany]

Malachi the nut cracker

Yeah but...he's always getting blacker. Are you seriously calling that indefensible?

+1 for Jim Jones . I listen to him more than a lot of other rappers.

[fatboybrandon]

I've learned not to hate Jim, Bow Wow, Soulja Boy other new jacks who Bumpy Knuckles clowns in this freestyle. Instead I've learned to at least enjoy them for their comic relief they bring as circus acts of Rap in the ring of today's mainstream.

Lord Sear and Bobbito are likeable rappers to me, they were never as serious on the mic as the legends they introduced to us but in the context of WKCR they were always entertaining. Teddy Ted the original ooooh man from The Awesome Two is another.

You are a cornball

[Blockhead]

Malachi the nut cracker

And, on top of that, he's like a rattlesnake but he doesn't rattle.
Maybe i should reconsider my choice.

[Career Over Like Mike(NJJ)]

The reason why rap is the greatest genre ever is that even the most indefensible rappers have at least one legit 5/5 banger in them:

Haystak, St Lunatics, Talib Kweli, House Of Pain, Tyga, Stalley, Tarrie B, Kreayshawn, Iggy Azalea, Flo Rida, ASAP Rocky, Necro, The Cunnilinguists, Jin, Will-I-Am, and even the most indefensible rapper ever South Park Mexican.

Basically everyone other than Sage Francis and Immortal Technique.

[drizzle]

Gangsta fag

no need to call Eric Sermon names like that

[Echo Leader]

House of Pain is a good one. I actually dig the Truth Crushed to Earth... album a fair bit.

Soulja Boy on the strength of "Turn My Swag On" and that "Superman" freestyle thing that he did like 5 years ago. There was also an SODMG tape from a couple years ago that I remember being pretty good as well.

Vanilla Ice because of the he did songs with LA the Darkman.

LOL @ IDAL's SPM reference. Also genuinely surprised that Step One is a Yo Gotti fan.

[Hush]

Cosign House of Pain/Everlast (used to be my favorite rap group, I collected most of their albums and singles - I still love them, but have become less biased over the years and recognize them for what they are)

Also:

Young MC (I've only really heard the first album though)
Brian Austin Green (found his album several years ago in a bargain bin and liked some of the beats, rhymes were okay)

[GUCCI CONDOMS]

Lil' Dap
Prodigy post HNIC 1
Soulja Boy
Jim Jones


Damn thats 4, oh well. My line of thinking here is I understand why people don't like these rappers, and don't think they are good, but I genuinely think they are all amazing.

[bent]

Jaden Smith
Mims
Bricks

[Thun]

Um, House of Pain, while not exactly Godfather Don and Lord Finesse with da verbalz, made a lot of good tracks.

[drizzle]

Prodigy post HNIC 1

Return Of The Mac was one of the best NY albums of the 00s, HNIC 2 and Albert Einstein had jams and he's had some other good random moments too. His voice and delivery have changed but there's no shame in bumping late era Prodigy at all imo

I agree with everything you said. Prodigy is top 5 all time for me. However, even if you and I don't agree with it, you can't deny that its a common opinion that he has been garbage on the mic since after HNIC 1

We always knew you were a mongoloid, but this shit right here?



Shit's indefensible.

[Hush]

Um, House of Pain, while not exactly Godfather Don and Lord Finesse with da verbalz, made a lot of good tracks.

I think that "Same As It Ever Was" is their "Paul's Boutique". Overlooked after the massive success of the self titled album because of Jump Around. Everlast's delivery is a little gruffer and more bugged out which makes up for whatever he may be lacking in lyrics. Muggs and Lethal are both great on the production here, although I think I remember reading in an interview that Muggs gave them throwaway beats for this album (he may have been talking about the first album, I can't remember). IMO, the lead single, "On Point" is by far the weakest track on here lyrically. It also includes the solid collab with Diamond D, "Word is Bond".

Revisiting House of Pain in 2015 would be an interesting experience

Could be surprisingly good or downright horrifying...

[Thun]

paw wall

I thought it was Pow Wow? White privilege shinin' like a disco baow.

[step one]

Also genuinely surprised that Step One is a Yo Gotti fan.

I've heard 3 songs he's on and liked them all a lot. Not sure if its because of him or inspite of him as they're all collabos. Haven't bothered to investigate further.

These are all great though
