Guest cesar906 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Hip Hop is real but I like rappers that aren't famous as much as those because what they talk about is real like Lil Rob Mr.Shadow Diablo Lil angel Mr Sancho and those are real rappers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fly-T Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Tru Hip-Hop is that stuff that gangsta rap isn't. Like the lyrics and stuff are not so violent but they speak on important things. I dislike 50 only due to the fact that the guy gets hella hype basically from high school/college groupies who thought he was the shizz when he came out with 'Wanksta' and In da Club. Nelly is just plain horrible. A interesting event: Word is that if you use the term "Hip-Hop" and you will be fined a liscensing fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 50 Cent is the Alicia Keys of rap, only ugly. There's way too much hype around his music. He migth have a catchy song or two, but he's nowhere near good enough to have every last song he's ever made playing on every local hip-hop radio station. Anyway, I don't listen to much "true" hip-hop. I'm more of a neo-soul fan, so I might listen to some mainstream group like The Roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 I don't usually listen to this stuff. So instead of being an *** and saying I hate it, I just admit I don't know all that much about it either way heh... at least not recent stuff in the genre. I'm always annoyed by the fact that almost no current artists give any credit to the others from the past that made the genre what it is today... but what can you do. That said, I do know Akrobatik. I actually like his stuff... a lot more than I ever expected I would. That's about all I know out of that first list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Hip-Hop.... Run DMC is true Hip-Hip Anything now-a-days is gansta crap or just plain crap. Real Hip-Hop doesn't exist Run DMC coined Hip-Hop and will be the only group ever to be true Hip-Hop, every one of the other rappers are just fakes. They are all trying to be what they aren't and they are pathetic in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fly-T Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Some other hip-hoppers......Kriss Kross and Kool G.........Hip-hop may be fading but as long as people that do gangsta rap keep it real on a lyrical level (ppl like Ras kass, Boot camp klik, Lox, Talib Kweli and so forth) then I have no problem.

Guest dr.septagon Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 "i got into underground hip hop where tha music and culture is still alive" That is why recently I started checkin out underground, I also did it after checkin out Cannibal OX, because El-P (owner of definitive jux) makes the bestest, most innovative beats, A GREAT PRODUCER. Eminem is alright and his responses to benzino are quite good. I hate Benzino and I hate the source for being a sellout, racist, fake, partially white owned (benzino) magazine! 50 Cent has been out for tiiiiime, before 'get rich or die tryin' came out he had 'guess whos back' and no one was buying it! Dre adn Em let the whole world know about fifty adn now hes becoming more polpular than Coca Cola. I know fo a fact that G-Unit are going to be the next Ruff Ryders only 10x BETTER! Also 50 cent hasnt been a gangsta for years, he just talks about his past all the time, soon he will run out of memories to talk about and will become like Jay Z, hoe this-hoe that, girls girls, women adn bit**es, thats all Jay talks about. But for now I like 50 and his style. Also I like all of queensbridge-Nas,Cormega,Mobb Deep,Blitz,Lake,Horse,Jungle,Nature,Big Noyd,Littles,Killa Sha etc.. "I do know Akrobatik" - Semjaza if you know Akrobatik the you do know hip-hop, I know so many ppl that brag about being the hip hop guide book or encyclopedia but only know the industry and mainstream. Akrobatik is deep adn has an amzing flow adn way or arranging rhymes. SSJ GOTENKS- Can you give me some names of rappers like the ones I mentioned becasue I dont know any more and Im getting tired of listenin to the same ones, and if u listenin to the same stuff u can give me some names. safe :mrt: dr.septagon :mrt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dr.septagon Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I dont, but I know ppl that do and are ok. In london ppl listen to 'garage' which is people rappin really fast( mcing) talking bull(mostly bragging about themselves).. and not minding the beat. It sounds really crap and I personally hate it. A few garage artists - 'so solid crew', 'ms dynamite', 'more fire crew' and 'viper and jameson'. There are some really good english rap artists like 'blak twang', 'fallacy and fusion', 'iceberg slim', '57th dynasty', 'taskforce' and maybe 'big brovaz'. check them out ssj have u got msn messenger? Ill add you and you can send me some of your songs! :mrt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fly-T Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Yea in fact i do flo. I got peoples in Kentucky with a little studio but thats in Kentucky, more than 45 minutes away from me(I'm only coplainin cuz I have no car). I could make a song off my pc cuz i got a mic, but there's too much work and confusion into making sure the beat will record/play corectly it. So, all I can really do is start spittin without a beat. If you were to hear me it would only be able to be through here. If you Got AOL we can talk..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fly-T Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Good Lord, I just pulled out my Stillmatic CD, Listened to "Ether" and I almost passed out...that has to be about the best diss Nas threw at Roc-a-fella so far.....True hip-hop........is dying( when it is being compared to stuff that gets a lotta TV time).

Modern Trojan Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 :) I hate you Dr. Septagon. Blue Gender thank you for telling my friend Dr. Septagon that cashmoney is crap :), Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep's old stuff is deep, and so is canibus :D.

Guest dr.septagon Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 BlueGender all u said is true! As I said before 50 cent is becoming like Eminem and Coca Cola, and I hate Bizzare cause he chats some much sh*t in his rhymes!Benzino just uses the source as a weapon against em, and he cant rap. Hes chatting about saving true hip hop in 'die another die', how? with meaningless commercial songs like 'Rock the party' and 'bootee'? He cant make a descent album even with dozens of guest appearances! Cash money are obviously crap apart from Juvenile, his album 400 degreez is just the bomb. Wu-Tang were really good but now with albums like 'Bulletproof Wallets', 'The W' and 'Iron Flag' where are they goin... Stillmatic is a great album there isnt a song I dont like on it! It is good to see that Nas still has the skills, although he is getting too old and now he has nothing to say, rap about! The rappers I like aint crap theyre just different! LOL I hate CASH MONEY, Nelly, Ja Rule, Benzino, Jay Z, Jermaine Dupri, Timbaland as a rapper(hes a good producer!), Cypress Hill for becoming hardcore, crap. more coming soon...

Hehehe, btw ppl with no common sense i wouldn't actually kill him..., Just leave him in a crippled heap after beating him with his own "Ja Rule" Cd collection. BTW: Nas is in .inc (it's a shame he joined) seeing as you like Nas, you were contradicting your self. :) I Like Nas as well... Illmatic is the baddest album.. and so is Sillmatic... so there's one good point you've made Ps. Do you like any British Hip Hop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern Trojan Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Yo sorry i may be incorrect, but i am soo sure that he's joined .inc i sinceraly hope i am wrong, cos Nas' talent isn't deserved in something as low and and as embarrasing as .inc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dr.septagon Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I dont know why u lot are sweatin it since Nas is getting old and it doesnt really matter who he joins, his new album proves my point. It is simply shi*t, he was great but god's son is dissapointing and ' I can' is such a stupid song it just makes me laugh, he thinks hes all perfect and can give advice, all mature. Most of the girls hes talking about he has slept with in the past! He isnt a gangsta no more, he sure aint a playa, hustler,pimp,thug etc... so now he has nothing to talk about and his rhymes are plain boring or what he talks about is things he hears about! Its almost over for him :mrt: btw: dont get me wrong hes one of my favourite rappers and I have(and like) all of Nas's albums but by the title of his newest one (god's son) you know its over for him, sorry but no point in hiding the truth. Did the album even go platinum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Trojan Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Well if you hadn't heard, he did say he's making ONE more album, it's gonna take him 5 years to make, and he's gonna have the boom QB rappers on it, and Az and probably some collabs with Guru and Rza. He said this will even rival "Illmatic" This will be a HEAVY album, can't wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
