You know hip hop has gone to shit when douchebags like Lil Wayne are considered "the best rapper alive". I like hip hop, but its so hard to find decent emcees. Nowadays all you see is rappers with their hats falling off, clothes 10 sizes too big, and their asses hanging out of their pants.
slushi u seriously said almost the exact same thing i said to my brother like a week ago... it pisses me off..but im glad theres ppl thats feel the same as i do.
damn from the looks of your sig alone.. id get the impression that u were a hiphop head. allday everyday.
word fuckin up, lil wayne is just a fuckin clown, greatest rapper alive? we all know that Rakim would destroy him
lol rakim...mannn fuckin nas would destroy him.. another man should never kiss another dude... lil wayner is gayyy.. had like 4 good songs..one was a outro.not even a full song.
hip-hop is crunk pretty much now a days it's all the same rap hip-hop crunk all they rap about is how filthy rich they are and trying to make there lifes seem all cool by sellin drugs and shit then complain that people think thats all they do like no offence i love rap and shit but most of these new artists and shit are whack they all rap about the same thing like some are good like wold say the best ungerground artist is Andrea Nickatina
I gotta say something. I used to be like you guys. I was strictly underground and I would bitch about mainstream. And well....yeah Im still all about the underground. But you gotta stop bitching about mainstream because your somewhat hypocritical if you think that mainstream listeners are ignorant because all they listen to is mainstream. Well all you listen to is underground hiphop. Which kinda puts you in the same boat. I have so many friends that are real heads and all I hear is "Fuck mainstream man, its all about Immortal Tech and Living Legends and blah..." They think everyone should listen to underground. Well if everyone listened to it, it wouldnt FUCKIN BE UNDERGROUND. So just let mainstream be. Let underground be. And fuckin listen to something else for a while. Theres a lot of music out there. And trust, if you listen to everything out there thats good, youll gain an even greater appreciation for the underground artists your supporting.
lil wayne isnt the best i agree, but i like his music he's not that bad...although sometimes his voice gets so fuckin annoying in some songs...show me what you got remix, his voice got all retarded -_-
oh and slEET hip hop aint dead it's taken a different direction just because it aint the same as when it's started doesnt mean it's dead take basketball for example when jordan left everyone tought it was dead, now u got kobe lebron etc...and it's alive and well just cuz hip hop aint the same shit as '79 dont mean it's dead
I don't get the big deal about Lil' Wayne? I don't hate on mainstream because it's mainstream, I don't like it because most of it is bad...some is aight, I just prefer the sound of the underground more.
amen. hate the direction that their style is heading now days though. personally, I listen to rap more for the entertainment value of it other than anything else. I'm more geared toward what most of you would call mainstream, crunk, gangsta, etc. cause it (for the most part) is more entertaining to listen to than political/activist rap.
imma old wu tang fan... as in circa 36 chambers and as far as activist rappers go, i can only listen to a few and their the oldschool artists... public enemy, krsone. as well as some new age rappers like talib and mos def. but the range that hiphop can be considered varys way to much you can go from Insane clown posse.. to tech nine, to king gordy, to lil jon, etc.. all different styles, all based the same
Wu was good, then they changed up a lot and turned I dunno, less grimey?... my favorite shit is the good ol' 90's East Coast.
odb was the shit GZA is my favorite member of wu i'm not much of a public enemy fan but i do like krs i love NWA...that was the shit until it went downhill
I don't hate Lil Wayne because he is mainstream, I hate him because he sucks balls. He's slow as fuck, and rhymes the same words over and over. Oh yeah, and he's ugly, And his pants are always falling down.
lil wayne isnt bad but he isnt GREAT either lloyd banks is one of the mainstream artists that i like he's pretty good
