I'm in a new music phase...I'm listening to rap again and I'm looking for suggestions. I like the new Mystikal and Ludakris stuff, but the only songs I've heard are SHAKE THAT A** and ROLLOUT (respectively).

Anyone know if their other songs are good? If so, which ones? Any other artists I should give a listen to?

I dont really like Mystical but I dig Ludacris. Songs like Freaky thangs, keep it on the hush are good songs from there album. Get the Bluprint album from Jayz and the Nas cd Stillmatic. Great songs on those albums. Jayz has The Takeover, Hola Hovito, Girls, Girls, Girls and Nas has Ether (Jayz Diss), Got myself a gun, One Mic. Download/Buy some Outkast, as well has a underground MN act called Atmosphere. I have been getting sick of mainstream (Nelly-JaRule) stuff so I have been listening to some Rass Kass, Cage, Dialated Peoples, Crooked I, Cormega, Chino XL, Cannibal Ox, Az -- alot of great music coming from these guys.

If you like Mystical & Ludacris try some DMX too.

Thanks, Slug. Although I recognize most of the names you mentioned, I feel like I'm out of the loop lately. I'll try to download some of these songs to see what I think.

I appreciate the help.

The new Wu-Tang seems good. And check out Arsonists. Very cool hip-hop.

Along with the Cannibal Ox album I highly recommend the new album from Roots Manuva - rap with a British slant.
