The Hip Hop Thread

protip: don't listen to the radio

I agree with this x1000000

One rapper (I forget his name) once called hip-hop the CNN of the ghetto. Sadly, that's not the case anymore.

Its all wack stuff now and this is an 18 yr old kid saying this. I really do like Hip Hop, but after 2005 most mainstream stuff is wack and underground things are boring. For me there in no constantly good rapper any more
Soulja Boy I think everyone gets behind the idea that hes wack but some ppl listen to him anyways.

The thing is when you look at it, it mostly is southern rappers.

This thread will probably get moved... but there are still very talented hip hop artists out there. They are just not in the limelight like they should be.


I blame youtube.

I agree....but it just pain me that people with actual talent are struggling while some ****** like solja boi (who sounds like his lyrics came out of a random word generator) gets millions of dollars. It makes me physically sick.

I feel like in order to be a big hip hop artist you HAVE to be talentless. Why???

Whenever I think about popular music, I think of CJ Ramone:

There are sooooooo many places I can move this. Sentinel, do you have any preferences?

 

[Sentinel X]

No...I dont care. I just wanted to voice my opinion. I guess music?

Let's keep it here, I wanna see some balls busted

For once, I agree with Alex. In fact, books & music should be moved back to Community. They'd get much better traffic and would create better discussion with a larger audience. Did it really need it's own forum?

 

[Alex The Great]

Oh, Knowsbleed!

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Alright. I'll let it remain for now. I will give some consideration to your other thoughts Knowsbleed.

Also, a banning of all nipple infused media should be instituted...

I think it's music in general.

Hip Hop has been downhill for at least the past 5 years. I mean true talent has been paved over by the likes of auto tune and horrible hype. It all in my opinion sounds the same, I'm not a big rap fan anyhow but still, the originality is lost. Rappers have become lazy and are to busy squandering their "well deserved" millions and not spending time on their craft. Honestly, people settle for the status quo because everyone else likes what's out there and they just want to fit in by liking what everyone else likes. This is just one of the many things wrong with the music industry.

The only thing that will save hip hop is another Nelly & Tim McGraw duet.



THAT... would save hip hop.

But would they have to keep doing it over and over again?


BOO-YAH!

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Except for a couple artists out there right now, pretty much all hip hop sucks, and this is from someone who is a huge rap fan.

Nowadays, it's either all a bunch of idiots like Soulja Boi or whatever, or it's a bunch of pretentious idiots on the underground scene who have no talent outside of being able to recite a damn thesaurus.

 

[antsman41]

crappy hip-hop is basically rap, no matter how you slice it.

good hip-hop like Run, Beasties, Biz are...

Mos Def
The Roots
J5
Danger Mouse
Atmosphere
Soulcrate Music

off the top of my head...

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

i hate soulja boy....he makes my ears bleed with every song he comes out with...i only listen kanye and kid cudi...and a small amount of others...but thats it.

whats worse is i just went on the comments for that video/song...and most are saying "LOL THIS IS FUNNY" or "I love this song especially when he says the farted part or does the high voice"
oh god.
