highdowns hunter Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I Was sitting at breakfast in my hotel yesterday and along comes 4 Black Loud mouthed American guys who sat beside me. They were talking about 5 Million Dollar cheques and 10 million Dollar cheques etc, They were wearing Diamond studded watches as big as my fist, and diamond and gold chains around their necks. they even started Rapping at the table When I left Breakfast I went into the Hotel reception and there was about 10 WWF sized Black wrestlers hanging around. I asked one of the guys who these dudes were, and he mentioned 4 names. Buster Rhymes, Splif, 50 cents and Acon. He told me they had been doing concerts here in Luanda Just wondering if any younger members had heard of these folks. I wouldnt know a rapper if I saw one as its not to my liking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 They're quite popular, I'm surprised you haven't heard of them. You have probably heard their music, shortly before changing the station if you're anything like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethevanman Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 They talk slang they act hard and are all show these guys earn over a £1.000000 a year so no wonder they can afford big diamond watches and chaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I have always thought that whoever named it "Rap", left a letter out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I have heard of the gentlemen in question but cannot say that i have listened to that particular popular beat combo. I understand that the youngsters are also listening to a gentleman called Dr. Dre however I do doubt very much that he does in fact possess a Phd that is unless he bought it by mail order from the Karachi Institute of Higher Education as I suspect did also my GP whose name I can barely pronounce let alone type.

farmers son Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 they are probably some of the biggest names in rap at the moment akon was number one for quite a few weeks just before xmas with a song called "smack that" i leave you to figure the rest out 50 cent is supposdly a "real" gangster as he got shot apparently and now often wears a bullet proof vest, also alot of his music revolves around this, and he was at the centre of the whole "rap music encouraging gun crime" debate not really my kind of music but there you go :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 One believes '50 Cent' has been shot and stabbed numerous times. I think he has brought a film out called 'Get rich or die trying'. He was slated for appearing in an bill board advertisment for the film with a handgun stuffed down the back of his shorts. I hate rap music but have heard of all the afore mentioned characters other than 'Splif'. Although with a name like that I think that he sounds more like something drug related than 'music' related. Perhaps there's a link. :o :o FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Have to listen to this stuff all the time in my household except for brief excursions into black/thrash metal. I have even had one pup set NWA as my ringtone which was a talking point at a clay shoot last year LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdowns hunter Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Thanks for the replies and Info, I am too old for this type of music, but somebody must like them. They left to go back to the USA last night. and as you say they must be earning a lot of money just to pay for their bodyguards, hotel bills and travel etc. maybe i should have asked for their autographs. Could have sold them on E/Bay Thanks Again HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
