junkbond_trader Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hey all I am looking to make a couple collections/mix tapes of a few things and I need your help:) I am not a big rap fan. I like gym class heroes though lol. I like how they are melodic. So my first collection I want to make is one with some rap on it. So name your favorite rap songs and I will take a listen and see if I like them. Im not really into gangsta rap so I probably won't like those, but any melodic rap (gym class, the roots, n.e.r.d, etc...) Im open to anything. Also I am making two decade collections. The 80's and 90's. So name your favorite tunes from these two decades. Any help is greatly appreciated:) Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

street spirit Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 that's a classic... but i dunno if i'd call it "melodic," and it's most definitely gangsta... like, hella gangsta, if you will.
