Hip Hop/Rap

I have very little of this in my vast collection of music. On my iPhone, I have:


Apologize (feat. OneRepublic)
Shock Value - Timbaland
Connected
Connected - Stereo MC's
Ice Ice Baby
To the Extreme - Vanilla Ice
Just the Two of Us
Big Willie Style - Will Smith
Parents Just Don't Understand
DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince: Greatest Hits
Summertime
Will Smith: Greatest Hits - Will Smith

It should be noted that Ice Ice Baby from my list above was purchased for a neighbor for a lip synching thing he was doing.


This may surprise you but back in my gangsta days, I could sing a lot of The Fresh Prince's songs. (Actually, my gangsta days only lasted for about a month -- nothing long-term.)


For me (and most people I know) rap just didn't catch on. But there are many talented rappers, especially those without a record label. Case in point, I came across this YouTube video of a flight attendant who seems very "dope" and clever with his lyrics. It's funny! Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivjybzdXVmI

I absolutly hate rap. i hate it so bad. I think it is junk, but thats my opinion. I like Coldplay and such. So what do you use your iPone for? besides calling someone.

I remember your days with Will Smith---Ha/Ha!! That is cool with the rapping flight attendant. Too funny. My flights are always pretty boring...No one sings or does tricks or anything:)
