Hi, I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm doing this right,

But I'm a huge rap person. Like, seriously.

And I can only find about 1 song with an acoustic guitar part in it, and that "Bad meets Evil - Eminem"

But I've learnt that song now and I want to know if anyone has anyothers I could pick up?

Hit me back...

wELCOME TO THE PAGE . IM SURE SOMEBODY CAN HELP YOU ON UR REQUEST BUT I DONT KNOW

hmm dont know alot rap myself i suggest goin to the roots of rap try learning some blues soul or funk music the usually have some pretty cool guitar in them

about the closest to rap I can get. I have allergy to rap.

I recommend the Roots, an excellent Hip-Hop band that uses actual instruments.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFb9UqELX8w - The Seed (2.0)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D671znPDOCU - You Got Me (Live)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnevMn60 … re=related - The Next Movement (Technically, there's no guitar in this song, but you should be able to play the same chords the keys are playing.)


The Clash were a late 70's/early 80's punk band but they wrote some convincing early Hip-Hop songs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A5u_mWG11k - The Magnificent Seven (Live)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-t52zc8Ex4 - This Is Radio Clash

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiQoq-wqZxg - The Guns of Brixton (Technically a reggae song, but it has a very early Hip-Hop influence.)

You should try practicing funk, soul and ska/reggae songs in general since that's what the bulk of Hip-Hop is based off of, anyway, much like rock is based heavily off the blues.


P.S. On a lesser note, try using "Hip-Hop" instead of "Rap" to describe the genre. Rapping is a vocal technique like singing, shouting, and toasting.

rap well i am a huge beastie boys fan. one of the best instrumental albums of all time is "in sounds from way out" by these guys check it out and if you happen to learn any of these songs let me know i would like to learn them as well. note: this album is not rap but by a great rap band and it is some of the best modern funk that i know of.

I don't know anything about acoustic in rap but there's a group called Souljahz that use electric in some songs

"gym class heroes- queen and I" comes to mind, not like ganster rap or anything but it's rappish I suppose

Just what I was thinking ... look up Beastie songs like "No Sleep Til Brooklyn"

closes to rap i like is (kid rock)

I wasted a large portion of my youth on rap "music?". 2pac has a couple remix tunes where its just him and a guy playing guitar.
