Gimme some good bands?

[Xander]

Gimme some good bands fools.

I like anything really, as long as it's not monkey rap.

Example of monkey rap, Soulja Boy, 50 cent, Wiz Khalfia, Lil Wayne, Eminem, etc.

Example of MEANINGFUL rap, Brother Ali, Atmosphere, POS, JMT, etc.

I'm not into the metal/electronic scene, but I'll give anything besides monkey rap a go.

Nas - Book of Rhymes
Nas - Take it in Blood
2pac - Don't You Trust Me
2pac - Letter 2 my Unborn
Notorious BIG - Sky is the Limit

Search YT for them.

I'd put in some of the songs from Solidus into Pandora (Pandora.com) and see what it recommends. I've found a ton of bands I love from just entering one band into Pandora.

2pac - Don't You Trust Me

That's fairly monkeyish rap tbh.

They were good, but then they started rapping about material objects, and then they became just another expendable rapper.

2pac perhaps, but not Nas.

2pac perhaps, but not Nas.

Last time I heard about Nas, he was making songs with Nick Cannon.

Therefore, he is guilty by association.

[Solidus]

I posted his old music. Late 90's, early 00's, he was king.

Mainstream king maybe.

Underground was run by Eyedea, Brother Ali and Jedi Mind Tricks

I know you said you do not like electronic music but have you ever heard of the band LocnVille, they have decent music(Electronic) with some decent rap in some of there songs.
