Rap is where it at now

rap today hmmmm.....

this past couple of months and months to come there is some good rap, but all the good rappers are the ones that were rapping back in the 90's, like Nas, Jay-z, The Game, Dmx, Dr Dre, Eminem (hopefully album is like his older ones), Ice cube. these are the rappers that are keeping rap "old school" which is the best thing to do for rap music. All the rappers "now a days" just rap about sex drugs and guns, but rapping about them can be a good thing if used in the right way, like eminem he makes it funny. ( Old skol Rap FTW ) we need more people like them, n.w.a, public enemy, sugar hill gang, grandmaster flesh, non of this chart rap :(
Also when you said about rap being good, you could of mentioned good rappers :)

Oh yeah cause all the rappers go on tour in huge music festivals all over USA and Europe to tons of fans Lief_Ericson

ok i agree with the little wayne and T.I. but i think you needed to add snoop dogg, biggie, 2Pac, david banner, Akon, and the NWA.cs45F

N.W.A. broke up over 15 years ago, and Biggie and Tupac are dead... so why do you need to add them when he's talking about rap now....

That's usually a good indicator that they have heard little to no Metal at all.

[QUOTE="RushMetallica"]

And this is a bad thing. Why is someone made by a vocoder making money, when bands and even other rappers with real talent arent'? I blame parents for not teaching their kids good music, but they also shouldn't force their music on them.

xboxplayer1990

Well judging from your name "RushMetallica" you have bad taste in music anyway. It's all about club music and slow jams man.

Please no....you don't know good hip hop, and HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA @ Lil Wayne being a good if you could call him an "artist". Good hip hop is old hip hop...there is no music that it is "where it's at"...most are comming out with worse and worse music.

Your so called "good hip hop" is overrated boringness. What makes it good? Lyrics? Lyrics are THE most overrated thing ever. Who says most people wanna listen to someone elses life story? Most people want lyrics about beer, drugs, and sex. Something most people can relate to. Not a boring beat with someone saying they grew up tough.

is it safe to say this is a joke topic?

(I bet the user admitted by now)

No, rap it where it was in the early 90's. ;)CrimzonTide

AlphaRail

Blu isn't mainstream in the sense that he gets play on TV and radio, but for a hip-hop fan like you who uses online resources (obviously since you are on an online forum).... Blu has been all over the biggest hip-hop sites on the net like Allhiphop, SOHH, hiphopsite, HipHopDX, xxlmag, UGHH, he had a Myspace album premiere, and all the big blogs like nahright, 2dopeboyz, Byroncrawford, dallaspenn, and smokingsection covered him. His stuff is right in front of everyone if you actually follow hip-hop and keep up to date with it.

He's even been mentioned on Gamespot quite a long time ago ;)

[QUOTE="xboxplayer1990"][QUOTE="Jaks_Secret"]

[QUOTE="xboxplayer1990"]Aight then for y'all with your "good hip hop" what makes it so great? Because some rappers that USE to be poor but now they are rich and live in big homes repeat the same lyrics over and over about how they grew up? Yawn.muffincakes87

I don't know, maybe because it has phenomenal instrumentals? Or great lyrics?

And those are just two examples. From artists that are currently performing. :|

Lupe Fiasco is wack.

Well that proves it.

It's a joke topic. No need for anymore arguement.

lol, seriously.

aparently to him lupe is weak after he pretty much named like a list of whack rappers? sigh...

Rap as it is today is probably the worst thing that could have happened to music. It's trashy and disrespectful and I can't believe people fall into this garbage.
