I only cared for their heavier stuff.What about Rage Against the Machine or Beastie Boys?
Sure, they are all over the place. Look them up.Examples?
Really?Sure, they are all over the place. Look them up.
I guess classical music isnt music as well since no one is singing to you?

Hence "I only cared for their heavier stuff."That is not rap.
Here you go
I mean, she raps in the song so...Well it is not really a rap isn't it? "Critics lauded the album's blending of the R&B, doo-***, pop, hip-hop, and reggae genres".... Hill herself said "that she wanted to "write songs that lyrically move me and have the integrity of reggae and the knock of hip-hop and the instrumentation of classic soul" and that the production on the album was intended to make the music sound raw and not computer-aided".
The oldest old-school rap was groups like Sugar Hill Gang and Grandmaster Flash followed by Run DMC. Then it was Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, Eric B & Rakim, Jungle Bros., etc. A lot of it was street inspired and about raising social consciousness. Some of it was just party music and dance music. Some rap went mainstream/pop like Sir Mixalot, Kris Kross, freaking MC Hammer, 2 Live Crew, etc. Gangsta Rap started with NWA, 2 Short and spin-offs of NWA like Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Snoop. Rap has been predominantly gangsta since.
You named a lot of good ones. I particularly liked tribe called quest, Eric B and Rakim. And all the gangsta rap. Rodney O and Joe Cooley and KRS 1. Big Daddy Kane. Eric Sermon. EPMD. RBL posse. Those are a few old school i liked.
Probably my favorite rappers when i was growing up were Hi-C, 2nd to none, AMG, Rappin Forte, DJ Quick, Too Short, Ant banks, of course Pac and Biggie, Spice One, Outcast to name a few.
One of my favorite rap songs of all time was on some too short compilation album (like too short presents or something) by someone named G-Side called When You See Me. Really obscure song
Crappy quality but here it is.
@Cy give it a listen and tell me what you think

I tried. Did not find any. Thus was asking for examples.
