Hip Hop at its best is...Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Rakim Allah, And mainly Underground artists...Mainstream Rap in general is a joke...they commercialized Hip Hop and nobody stays "Original" anymore...its all booty sluts cars clothes money...everyone raps about the same shit in different words...have you ever listened to a rap songs and was hearing "Barely" any rhyming, its mainly just a chorus that plays back over and over...Mainstream Hip Hop gets no respect for me...its all about the people who are in it for the love of hip hop and not the "Commercial Hip Hop" ...and what about the idiots that dance around and claim there Hip Hop but i will classify them as "Bubblegum pop"
I think we need a Hip Hop thread.

hey Monday I listen to that exact same music you do!!!!!. Now if that aint a movement than I don't know what is.!!!!!!! I am also a rapper, and think that the mediocracy within this industry will one day cause the industy to collapse. In general I think people are beginning to start to view rap as an artform again. It is almost impossible for an actual artist to rise up above the underground. Which is why I like performing at crappy little bars and night clubs. I just wanna be heard. I know I will probably never be famous or rich, but thats is completly fine with me, I am happy with what I have, and I love growing tomatoes

When you were in diapers I was teaching your favorite how to rap!
Considering I am in my studio all day I figured I should get a shot of me in the studio, and yes I am a nerd, and I love it, besides I aint even doing shit on the computer in this pic Im programming my synthesizer.
I stick by original statement, I will only modify it a little, most gangsta doesn't make a statement anymore. At least when groups like NWA came out they were doing something taboo and new, its just getting old to me now it isn't shocking at all, I can't even tell which artists are which now, they all look the same, the rhymes are chliche', and they sound the same.

Where the hell did you even get this idea from? I never even said anything remotely like that! If you love gangster rap that is good for you, I don't like most of it (love the old shit), good for me, but are you suggesting that you do know everything? Because that is the only impression I got from your words. I probably haven't even listened to 1/134,563 of all the rap there is, I was specifically talking about the shit I hear on the radio, its so damn phony, these fuckers don't know shit about being broke or crushing a fuckers skull in, yet talk like they are the enforcers or some shit. Jeez, I know I didn't specifically state that I like some gangster rappers, I was just speaking in general like for example groups like 3-6 mafia can go platinum because they have good beats, but absolutely no talent. Shit though I listen to 3-6 not for there lyrics but to bump that shit loud on a warm summer day, I didn't know I had to be so fucking specific, I just wanted to drop my opinion (wether right or wrong) and be out. You don't have to like my opinion but don't call me lame for something you blew way out of proportion, I just simply prefer rap that has deep meaning to me (which is usually not gangster rap) And I like artists who creatively use words I have never heard used in the context of rap before (which is usually not gangster rap)

I think you just said what he was saying
I sort of see what your saying. Like Tupac was in the commercial seen yet he rapped for a reason. You could even call his "rap" "music" lol. You can be commercial and still be good.
