Rappers who sound like other rappers

hogginthefogg

I've been listening to the excellent Essential Dipset Mix lately, and I realized that I can't tell Juelz and Jim Jones apart at times. Other obvious comparisons are Action Bronson doing his best Ghostface impression and Guerrilla Black parroting Biggie. As sad a commentary as this is, Wayne and Aubs kinda morph at times.

Whose voices do you get confused?

CinisterCee

Clipse sounded the same to me, and I wasn't completely sure whose verse was whose until I saw them live (or in video).

i find grand daddy i.u. sounds a lot like big daddy kane.

Remember that dude NOE on the Blakroc album who sounded almost EXACTLY like Jay-Z?



Also, and this isn't meant as commentary, but sometimes on tracks where Lil Wayne and Drake are together, I loose track of which is which, even though their voices aren't that similar.

I have a much harder time telling Aubs and Kanye apart.

I call Vado Cam-lite.

I remember when I heard "Blame it on the Alcohol" I had no idea it was a Jamie Foxx song. I thought it was just T-Pain. Phuggin' Auto Tune.

DJ_Enki

Shyne and Biggie, obviously

And I couldn't tell the Clipse dudes apart, either. If they ever did a Run DMC-style back-and-forth track, it'd sound like one dude punching in every other line.

damn was this a shot at Jay? Dame exec produced that project; was putting that dude a subtle dis?

rootlesscosmo

one of the clipse dudes sounds exactly like one of the camp lo dudes.

On Pimp C's "Knockin' Doors Down," P.O.P. sounds like B.O.B. (in voice and name).

I'm *relieved* that it wasn't just me.

4-5 years ago you guys would've been laughed off the board by an angry mob of Clipse supporters. Wha' happened??

Downstroke

Anyone heard this dude Willie Evans Jr, more than a passing resemblance to Doom.

Yeah my sister everytime she hears Drake come on the radio she thinks it is Wayne.

I've never thought Drake sounded anything like Wayne.

Another one: Paul Waw and Cham, but only on parts of "Get Ya Mind Correct."

E-40 & Gift of Gab have always sounded very similar to me. Recently, a friend and I were revisiting Graveyard Shift and we decided it's a bay conspiracy.

Me neither. Not one bit.

Uncle Quilly

L'Roneous -----> Aceyalone
Eligh --------> Andre 3000
Drake ------------> Wayne

Not sound alikes, def a-alikes, but to this day, I don't know which one is which: Tek n' Steel.
