For rappers get a shure sm7 (not the sm57) or the sennheiser md421

Ehh Fuck you
ill o.g.
Make sure you invest in a good preamp.. I'm not sure how serious you are about this but I'd shell out some good cash for a better preamp
Avalon
Grace
meek
Mindprints
these are all good
Mics.. depends on you voice.. Rode,Blue,Studio Projects,audio tecnhnica,neumann all carry good condenser mics

That avalon pre sucks balls!

This is a joke right?

NO! It is the most overrated pre amp of all time. People get them because someone else has one. I mean I guess they are better than the pre's say in a mackie mixer. But they are no where near worth the price.
The ONLY two pre amps that really blew me away are
Vintech, Chandler
UA and API stuff also rocks. But I would NEVER EVER buy an avalon, even the build quality is a bit sketchy.

Oh yea! Vintechs are good! Avalon overrated could be but I've never heard a bad recording from an avalon preamp pro or amature. I like the little 500.00 unit they have floating around. I don't suggest paying full price for one ever
Avalon VT-737SP I've found a few for 500.00 on ebay. Most of the preamps on the market are better than mackie
Morph what's your budget
I second the MD421, its not as "airy" as I prefer usually for the style of vocal track I like to lace up but its great for SPL handling and it does sound pretty natural on the voice over all...I kinda prefer the EV-RE20 for a dynamic on rap vocals, but thats just my personal pref, both are great mics though for yelling and getting loud close to the mic.
I actually used to own one of these but sold it, kinda wish I kept it now though cuz it was a great dynamic.

Yea, seems like we all like a really nice dynamic. Forgot to add the RE20 to the list. Shon is correct, that is a great mic.
@Sucio the KSm37 is a great mic, but it has such a sibilance problem it can be tricky! Have you used it on non rap vocals?

My clip for my 421 cracked so Ive been strictly tracking vox through my Groove Tubes MD1b-FET lately though...i love the intimate/close-up/airy sound you get with it but you gotta position it just right and have the performer a particular distance away from the diaphragm in order to not overload or get sibilance...still a dope mic as well though.

I kinda do and here is why....
Blue mics are fantastic, no doubt. But I don't think you should get them until you have three or four other good mics. As it seems like Blue mics are really, really good at a few specific things and are not all-rounders like an MD421 or an EV20 would be. For example the Blue mouse is an AMAZING kick drum mic, but I don't know if I would use it anywhere else. It seems like its better to build up a more versatile mic collection first and then get the specific stuff next. That being said, I am sure you will have a blast rockin that blue mic!

For sure, I don't know if you ever you need to but that mic (ksm37) ROCKS on guitar cabs. Its one of my favorites for that.
Im trying to build up my mic collection but the SPARK is an upgrade from my MXL990....LOL....my father in law gave me a KSM27 that is broken but when I reached out to SHURE they said they dont even support that model anymore...but if i send them like $110 bucks they would give me the new model of that mic....how good is that mic i see u say the ksm37 so how is the ksm27
