tabs for rap songs

Post by dmbinsa »

also looking for some good tabs for rap songs. all i've found on tab sites are the little basic riffs used in some rap songs. i'm looking for something that is fuller and sounds better on an acoustic. for example this clip of some guy playing usher's yeah is awesome......

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": Dr. Peter Venkman: I make it a rule never to get involved with possessed people. Actually it's more of a guideline than a rule.

i wanna learn the way i am. ride wit me works well too for a party
For us living any other ways was nuts. with all the goodie-goodies working shitty jobs for bum pay checks, took the subway work and worried about their bills were dead. they were suckers, they had no balls. if we wanted something we just took it, and if anybody complained twice they got hit so hard believe me they never complained again
