You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

I'm not really into hip hop, more into dance/ drum 'n' bass, but the songs that i do like from that genre, i REALLY like.

I'm not talking bout the current **** with the *****es dancing around in the videos, but the old skool artists that make music for their genuine passion of it, not for the money.

Personally, for me, it would have to be:

DJ Jazzy Jeff - For Da Love Of Da Game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhrMk8I3zwk

Will Smith - Summer time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W9kcxdPPjk

B.I.G. - Sky's the Limit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W9kcxdPPjk
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I consider them rappers but here goes, they define rap for me in their own ways, I'll also add in things you should check out from them, because they are some of the best hiphop and rap albums ever.

Lupe, Mos Def, Jedi Mind Tricks (said above)

Blu & Exile (Below the Heavens album)
Immortal Technique (Revolutionary Vol. 1 & 2 album)
Papoose (Law Library, basically a series of songs, I think there are 6 parts now...you need to cop these off mixtapes)
Cannibus (pretty much everything of his, haha)
*Common (Finding Forever album)
*Nas (It Was Written album)
Ice Cube (song: Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It)
Jurassic 5 (their albums)
Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers)
Eminem (Marshall Mathers EP & The Eminem Show)

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Kool Keith aka Dr. Octagon aka Del tha Funkee Homosapien aka Black Elvis.

I love "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff/Fresh Prince. Man, I used to rock that jam way back in the day when I first got my driver's license.

Adjust the bass, and let the Alpine blast

What a great jam that was!

Edit: I forgot J5. Charlie Tuna's the duck's nuts.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Nas, Jay-z, 2pac, Outkast, Common, and maybe Wu-Tang and Dr. Dre. Lupe is the future and carrying the torch for all those guys. Kanye is really mainstream, but he has a lot of potential.

Nas' Illmatic is probably the definer for me. The weird thing is, I didn't start to liking it until I was older. I thought it was overrated until I got a little bit older.

you're basically asking who our favorite rappers are

my favorite rapper of all time is Ras Kass
favorite group since 98 is People Under the Stairs
favorite album of all time is Nas - Illmatic

I'm from LA so I love those LA crews that revolutionized hiphop over here - Freestyle Fellowship, Pharcyde, the rest of the Project Blowdians, plus I also grew up on G-Funk so that sound is nostalgia for me
