Sugar Hill GangRun DMCCypress HillSnoop DoggEminemNot much market penetration 'round these parts for more modern cats with nuthin' to rap about but their bling and their hos and their money and their clothes. I don't consider Hall & Oates to be a rock act, btw; more straight-up Philly Soul, if you ask me.

I know nothing about the genre. I do know of three rap tracks that absolutely stopped me in my tracks though.Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight Arrested Development - Mr WendellEminem - Cleaning out my closet

Nope, those are all of them. But they post additional listings the 1st and 15th of every month so before you know you'll have more listings to look at. -Steve
