The Hip Hop Thread

[spider-jide]

Ghostface is working on a new album, foxy is releasing her new album, DMX is releasing his new album if it isn't already out yet.

 

[The Spider-Bat]

This is how I see rap:

1. The guy isn't singing, he's talking! For crying out loud he's talking!
2. Why do they keep pointing their fingers? I mean is there a secret message? "50cent wants you!
3. The main attraction is the tons of hot girls who would of course never be with the real ugly guy unless he paid a large sum of money!

 

[The Kingpin]

nah, it's because I have different taste than you do.

nah you're ignorant. I don't "hate" any other genre of music because of what I've heard on the radio. So, don't talk.

1. Ok, than the only type of music you must like is American Idle or country music, cuz that's the only kind of music where the artist is truly singing. Music isn't all about singing, dumbass.

2. Ever hear of hand gestures?

3. You're just stupid.

It's so ironic, cuz all the haters are calling hip-hop fans idiots when they're acting worse than the crunk fans.

Allow me to challenge that, Spider.

1. Every heard of poetry? Spoken word poetry? Hip-Hop formed out of that.

2. I have no idea what you're talking about, but I guess it has some truth to it.

3. The main attraction for me is music. Just like you enjoy listening to your genre of music, I like mine. I don't watch music videos, because the channels that play videos play crap ones, and I'd rather listen to my favorite artists without the distractions.

and to Jibe, I know enough.

They're from west coast killa bees, which is a 3 group thing with wu-tang and another group. I don't really listen to them much, I just know oneof the guys from it.

And yeah bro, 300 bars you havn't listened to it yet? Want me to upload it?

 

[terry78]

I like hip hop, rock, and jazz. Every other music form can kiss my tight and toned black arse.

Those are all great artists. Although Del and Deltron were the same person last time I checked.
You should check out MF Doom and Gang Starr.

As to the uploading. Nah, it's ok. I'm on this P.O.S. mac, so I probably couldn't even play it. I'll ask again once I get home.

 

[The Kingpin]

Well yeah but Deltron had Kid Koala DJing, and it's a different style than Del usually raps, so I put them in seperate.

 

[WuTangDisciple]

Oh, I had no idea. Hmm, I'll have to check out that then.

 

[Makeshift Celebrity]

Anyone who hates Hip Hop for superficial reasons is ignorant!

 

[American_Idiot]

Me, I'm picky and choosey about what hip-hop and/or rap artists I will listen to. Basically, I hate music that relies on "nice beats to shake ya ass to" to sell. However, I do enjoy MCs who tell stories in their songs or at least have interesting/thought provoking things to talk about (i.e. Nas, Kanye West, Eminem, Jay-Z, etc.) and if they have a few club hits on the album, so be it.

If you are a fan of hip-hop and/or rap that has something to talk about and are looking to hear something new, check out my friend JayBlaze, an upcoming MC hailing from Oakland, CA @ http://www.myspace.com/jayblaze2005 and let me know what you think.

Is anyone else having problems with the music not playing?

* If you can't comprehend what I'm reading, i apologize, I just had to get some things off my chest**

I'm a hip hop fan, & the thing I can't stand the most is when I hear dumb comments how hip hop isn't music! Hip Hop raps about killin cops, bi%ches & h*'s! The school I attend is mostly white & I'm talking 96% white, 4% black, so you know I have to hear that B.S a lot!

I kind of like rock, but I don't go bashing other type of music genres that I don't listen to because that personally pisses me off! It seems like everyone ignores Kanye West's" Jesus Walks", Naz's "I Know I Can", or even Nick Carter's " Can I Live"! It seems like people who criticize hip hop never look at the positives but are obsessed w/t the negatives! The thing that pisses me off the most is when Bill O'Reily convinced Pepsi to release Ludacris from their contract! But when Pepsi hired The Ozburnes to advertize their product, he didn't say anything & all of a sudden got a case "HUSH MOUTH"! I'm not calling O'Reily a rascist, just an ignorant b@statd!!

Too many Hip Hop Bashers focus way too much on the cursing , which really dosen't bother( only wack artist like B.G who rhymes are lame). I didn't hear anybody bi$ch about Kid Rock or Fred Durst who curse a lot & having half nakedf hotties in some of their videos! Instead of always focusing on the negative in hip hop, please find it in your heart to at least once in a while
focus on the positives!

I agree with you for the most part, but let's not put "Nick Carter" and Hip-Hop in the same paragraph please.

Also, people b(*&(ed about Fred Durst and Kid Rock more than you know for cursing and having half naked girls in their videos, moreso than most rappers. That's probably the main reason Fred has received so much criticism over the past seven years.

I agree with you that there are positives in hip-hop and rap (Kanye and Nas being two of the best examples), but it's the ever-popular Lil' Jon, Triple Six Mafia, and other "crunk" rappers/producers that are making the genre look bad; the same way these new pop punk bands you see on MTV are making rock music look bad.

PREACH!

 

[Da Docta]

i kinda like it

 

[BK]

I agree with you for the most part, but let's not put "Nick Carter" and Hip-Hop in the same paragraph please.

I'd agree with you, but his song "Can I Live" really does put out a good message, and it sounds very soulful too. But of course that last part is greatly helped by the great Anthony Hamilton, but it's a very good song nonetheless.

 

[spider-jide]

Nick Carter? Can I live? wait are you people talking about SHAWN Carter's, Can I live from his reasonable doubt album?

 

[BK]

That song doesn't have an important message or features Anthony Hamilton....does it.

 

[The Kingpin]

So Nick Carter's doing rap now?

 

[American_Idiot]

Next, we'll see Kevin Federline (Britney's hubby) rapping...for real, she's trying to get him a record deal as the next white rapper.

 

[The Kingpin]

Ha!....no. When I become a made rapper I'll take him and his ****ty wifey out.
