Which Rap do you like better?

Topic^

Do you like older rap better or the new stuff?

I like the Older stuff better. Some of the guys people claim are the best are good but I wouldn't exactly say they're the best though. They seem overrated. Majority of rap sounds like crap.

Pretty much equal. If we were talking purely mainstream, I'd say older rap though. But back in the day, so to speak, we had 2pac, Biggie, Rakim, and all. And now we have Lupe, Nas, Cudi, etc. It's pretty even to me.Skittles_McGee

Old rap sucked, but at least it had meaning.

Now all you hear on the radio is some 16 year old kid named "Soulja Boy" saying "YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU"

on the radio Arab-man666

Whatever man, it's all the same.

Gucci man, soulja boy, lil John, lil wayne, lil bow wow, young jezzey, young this, lil that, so and so boy, so and so man.

I do, however, enjoy that song about Lemoade that that "Gucci man" fellow made. Sometimes a rap is stupid to the level where it's bascially a paordy of itself.

I enjoy older rap and some of the newer rap.

Immortal Technique is semi-okay, never liked JMT though...

I like them both equally.

Tbh I don't actively listen to any rap, nor do I have any on my iPod... I'm okay listening to a few of them and enjoy some 2pac from time to time, but mostly I avoid the genre.

i know its all in good fun but why is it that usually underground listeners tend to argue more with each other about music?

i know its all in good fun but why is it that usually underground listeners tend to argue more with each other about music?

Because it's fun. And because we have different opinions on music, even though we like a lot of the same stuff (for example, Darth incorrectly believes that death metal is better than black metal >_>).

Anyway, Darth... you weren't at the AC/DC concert but he pulled off some sweet guitar playing at the end, outside of the usual songs. And he still has a hell of a lot more talent than anyone in Paramore. :P

And all that stuff I listed (and much more besides that I didn't list because I don't have stuff by them yet, I just listed almost every metal band from my iPod (except for Anthrax lol)) is better, so buy that stuff before crappy Paramore. :x

Mainstream today is a lot worse than it used to be, but if you look hard enough you can still find some really good hip-hop.JML897

New rap. Gutta all the way.

Old rap sucked, but at least it had meaning.

Now all you hear on the radio is some 16 year old kid named "Soulja Boy" saying "YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU"

I guess I like them equally. The newer raps I like, I enjoy just as much as the old raps I've liked, which is exciting considering the rut the industry seems to be in (as far as talent is concerned). With that said, I've definitely gone through the adolescent know it all stage where I reject anything mainstream and bore myself to death with strictly conscience raps, so it really has nothing to do with how people label/categorize the artist.

I prefer this rap

90s and early 2000 stuff.

Old. Stuff like Wu-Tang, Nas, Jay-Z, etc. are classics

I liked rap and hip hop in general before it became a haven for sellouts and phony's . I had some faith left in the genera until I saw that ad where Dr. Dre was hocking Dr. Pepper. I still listen to the old school stuff though.clubsammich91

r u serious? Dr Dre doing a commercial for Dr Pepper removed your faith. wow just wow. i didn't think it was all that much of a sell out for the rap genre, but if we are gonna speak out about rappers selling out i would say Ice Cube with his movie Are We There Yet, and Ice T for his role as a cop in Law in Order...at least i think it's Law in Order. Ice T made a song called Cop Killer, and then he played as a cop :? that's selling out in my book, but doing a commercial for a soft drink where Dre portrays the artist that he actually is isn't selling out imo.

I don't know anything about Rap other than I absolutely hate the current mainstream (soulja boy, lil' wayne, etc.), I have just been too busy with Metal. :P

Anyway, these are the only two songs I've heard that I really like:

Artillery

Switch

So I guess that means I like the newer stuff better.

i really like them both but the older videos are more for any body to watch now the newer rap videos look like easier on the eyes adult films. One rapper i do have respect for i lil wayne. I think he is a transitional rapper:roll:
