So i heard someone say that they dont like the sound of los voice..thats your opinion and everyone has the right to dislike whoever for what ever reason, but i have a question for those who feel this way about certain rappers about this voice thing.....

1. who would you say has a good voice when rapping ( name 5 rappers so i can better understand where yahll coming from when youl say that )


I think freeway voice is a lil annoying and whinny, but that didnt stop me from listening to his raps and checking out his material and being a fan. ( btw his 1st album is still one of my favs and i still have songs from that album on my playlist along with other material from free.) I say that to say this.....I know music is all about preference and is subjective but when it comes to this rap thing, i dont know how most over look los raps because of his voice and because like some have said he doesnt have alot of original material. On his last mixtape along with his new mixtape, he dropped alot of fresh original material. Im not sure why he wasnt on that freshman list, but dude is nicer than every rapper on that list i think, (even though i like stalley, future, and a couple others).

What exactly do most of yahll dislike the most about los as a artist/rapper other than the examples that i have already stated?

    So you say freeways voice is whiny and annoying but you still listen? Thats cool. But youre asking people to tell you why they dont want to listen to something whiny and annoying? How is that not a stupid question?

    It's not voice alone, but how you use your voice (delivery, flow).

    Best voice in no order

    1. Method Man
    2. Scarface
    3. Biggie
    4. Ice Cube
    5. Cyhi/Jadakiss



    Take for instance GURU, great voice but his flow and delivery is so ? damn monotonous and one dimensional. I can stand listening to the ? , he puts no energy or effort in his ? .

    Your comprehension skills seems to be incognito, the question i asked was pretty easy to decipher my friend. I simply asked you and who ever else to name 5 rappers who you think has good voices because i hear some people say los has a bad voice, now is that question that complexed to answer? Im trying to find out who do some of yahll feel has a good voice for rapping, because rapping and singing is not the same. I dont listen to RAPPERS to hear if they have a pretty voice or what ever, i listen to RAPPERS to hear there flow, word play, subject matter, stories ect... Now can you answer this easy question, name 5 rappers who has good voices that rap?

    tru.... I can name 50 different rappers with bad voices that i sonically dont find appealing, but i can still listen to there RAPs and enjoy what they bring to the table. Theres other levels to rapping then just the voice like word play, stories, charisma, mic presence ect....Its very rare that you going hear the average rap fan holla out...."ooo snap, you hear this rapper voice son". All im saying is if you dont like his voice, cool, but why do some people act like they cant find other aspects of his artistry to appreciate. Thats not just los but other rappers with bad voices as well....

    Last I heard DOC was supposed to go overseas and have a procedure done to repair his vocal chords.

    DMC ? his voice up with some alcohol related disease that ? off his voice, I don't think his ? is repairable tho.

    i actually think boosie has a annoying voice, but i still can play his music from time to time........Im not a fan of waka, but i can find things to like about his music....if you play, lets do it in the club it gets live in that ? , the energy he brings to a song, & catchy hooks is what i can give him props on. I just think for the most part that some people are close minded.

    thank u for answering the question....baritone voices seems to be your thing, and yea guru is a acquired taste as far as his voice goes, i have been hearing people say for years that his voice is mono.....but guru was still dope as a lyricists which i appreciate

    Yo; I ain't one to succumb to no man, but to command
    And scoop up the troops when it's time to take a stand
    Emphatically, deep strategies leave casualties
    I creep gradually, til everybody knows
    That I got more flows than rosebud got hoes
    The anger inside had me trapped
    Til I got geared up with raps to tear you up like big gats
    For big stacks, watch your back when I send em in
    Caught you tremblin, my name and face you're rememberin
    Several attempts, but nah ? , you'll never win
    Rhymes pierce your skin or maybe limbs we'll be severin
    Take you to the mat, peep that, you should keep back
    My ill-kid format will lay you flat like a doormat
    That I walk on, I meditate while you talk on
    And gossip, so I drop my hot ? ; fully loaded glock clips
    So get the ? out my block, kid
    As nights turn to days, days go back to nights, we be speaking it right
    And keeping it tight up in the street life
    I meet life, head on, no holds barred
    Born with a heart of gold, now mostly cold and scarred
    En guard, choose your weapon, or get to steppin
    Lyrical bullets make you dance from the trance you be kept in
    Assessments are made before, and during combat
    I master my hunger, blow the spot when I bomb cats
    One of us, equals many of us
    Disrespect one of us, you'll see plenty of us
    Conflict, is what I predict
    You and your fellas is mad jealous, attempting to flare
    We cleverly stalked ya, your fam'll miss ya
    The war's on, that's why we formed the militia
