I don't really know anything about rap/hip-hop, the only stuff I've heard is garbage like soulja boy. I think the only artist I've heard that I truly liked is Lupe Fiasco.
Not this again........ Here are what Hip Hop haters are going to say 1. It is not music 2. All they do is talk over a beat. 3. It takes no talent to rap. 4. All they talk about is girls, gangstas and money.
I am awwwed by your shadowy snake like awesomeness.
Edit: awesomeness is a real word :? .
Someone must have hired you to take out my heart... :oops: [spoiler] Because you are a mercenary ;) Hopefully my explanation did not completely spoil the mildly lame joke :P [/spoiler]
For every person that says rap sucks because they only look at the mainstream there could easily be a person that says rock or any other genre sucks for the same reasons.
Obviously rock and rap lovers are somewhat enemies, but the fact is that 90% of the music in both genres suck equally. I happen to love both.
Hip-Hop I like. The sub-genre Rap kinda gets annoying depending on who you listen to. Artists now, such as Soulja Boy tend to mix Pop with Rap and it's disrespectful. Oh well, what can you do. Anything to make a dime, right?

Pandora.com is pretty great because you can type an artist you like and they do a really great job of playing similar artists. alright, thanks for the heads up.
Yes I do, and be prepared for an onslaught of people that hate it and are going to do their best to tactfully insult it and it's fans.
I know. I've heard one dude say rap sucks rock is the best but different opinions though.Yeah everyone has different taste, especially with music. Yep like I don't really care for rock. I like a few songs but I don't really care for it. Especially metal.

I'm the same way. I cannot listen to mainstream of either genre. I like heavy metal (of all flavors...and some of the old rock and psychedelic). But I also like old school hip-hop/trip-hop.

Start by reading up on the history and culture of hip-hop and its four elements, MCing, Bboying (Breakdancing)-- like what the guy in my avatar is doing, DJing and Graffiti. Maybe if you involve yourself in one of the four elements, you can enjoy the real type of Hip-Hop. Bboying is a fun activity to get involved in, if you like to dance. Graffiti, sure, if you like to tag up places with artistic talent. Try DJing if you like music and mixing music and all of that. Try MCing if you want to rap or do spoken word.

Sounds like fun, though I'm not in the kind of shape to be Bboying, I'll definitely read up on the history.
