Rap shit the bed... do you agree?

[t0k3s]

The funny thing here is none of you have any clue what hip hop is except maybe a few of you.Real original hip hop was made in all kinds of varieties from sampling funk and blues to creating phat riffs on real instruments like guitars,bass guitars,live drums not sampled or synthesized drums.90% of today's so called "hip hop" is re sampled loops from the good old school shit
or just plain synthesized crap,and on top of that kids these days have shit for taste when it comes to music usually limiting them self from different genres of music.I'm surprised cypress hill has not been mentioned,they are a good group and produce good beats,along with tons of other groups that have not been mentioned.And the tear drop under the eye is a symbol that you killed some body,which i very doubtfully believe lil gay he did

a teardrop does not juss mean that u killed someone..it means u killed someone, or u spent time in prison,or you lost a loved one...which he lost his dad...get ur facts straight

"
When they were first worn they meant that the wearer had been incarcerated and or killed someone while in or out of prison. As times have changed however, the teardrop has come to symbolize a friend or fellow gang member or family member that has died while the wearer is incarcerated."See if you have been around you would see thats what it originally meant I'm sry i forgot the prison part,and the fact that majority of the mexican mafia,and arian brother hood wear it cause they do really kill people and dont claim it for pussy style credit.And if you read above its when your incarcerated and somwon dies that you put it on,u just dont slap it on cause somwon died from your gang or w/eSo you get your facts straight little homeboy

100% in agreement.

All the old stuff from the 90's was much better than today's garbage. Rap used to be about reality, coming up, doing what you gotta do. Today's music is whack, and it's all about spending money and having fancy things that most average people cannot afford. Of course that lifestyle was always a reference in rap, but these days it's just "blah blah blah" and none of it comes even close to reality.

Like he said the old skool had soul made me feel like growing up
in a shity neighborhood cant stop you from making it.

 

[Yeah]

Today's rap doesn't suck, you just have to get off your lazy ass and look for the good stuff. There's tons more artists out there today than there were 10-20 years ago, so naturally there's going to be tons more horrible artists. Don't get me wrong, the 90's were a great time for hip-hop, but don't diss the people putting out great music from the current times just because you don't want to find any good shit.

Wayne has some considerably "deep" rhymes, but he still makes money, hence lollipop. I encourage all of you to check out OnSMASH and our very own Mastakoosh's thread if you truly love hip hop. Decide what YOU do and don't like, but I assure you, you WILL find something that you like from today if you look for it. You have internet, use it!

my homie yeah. many different kinds of hip hop in this thread. if you like 90's then post it, new shit then post it.

 

[DKskater75]

or we could just keep making threads hating on different music thats always fun...

 

[MountainSmoker]

Yeah, rap sucks. Little lame shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence with rap or hip hop.

Only the old school artists who were droppin back in the day have released anything worth listening to recently. Underground stuff is cool though.

Check out a couple of my playlists, non mainstream bullshit and dope old schoolers only...

sickness - MP3 Music Streams on IMEEM

old school - MP3 Music Streams on IMEEM

Also, Madlib started droppin after 2000, one of my favorites. Raps about the green. Also applies a voice filter, and raps on the track with himself like an altar ego.

I have to disagree.. I think it's all shit though to be honest.. whats wrong with learning an instrument and how to sing? Maybe write a song instead of stealing the plot of a movie and inserting yourself as the main character or just writing a story? Does anybody else not see the lack of ability it takes to actually be a rapper? If you have an extinsive vocabulary and are up to date on slang, then anybody can write a rap song.. and if you have a computer and the proper software you can make rap music...

I'm more into R&B and soul asfar as that genre goes... I'd much rather hear some Teddy Pendergrass or hitops than I had lil wayne or lil weezy or the newest lil.. whoever he may be... Rap reminds me of 80's hair metal.. it found a formula for it's music, and a place with the party scene.. but the real fans don;t give a shit... Tupac was as good as any form of rap is ever gonna get.. and he's gone... everything else is repackaged over processed shit... same goes for the rock scene..

If you sound like Nickleback who sounds like fuel who sounds like Creed who sounds like PearlJam.. then you're in... very few bands are comming forward with something good to offer.. instead of hearing the latest efforts from good bands.. you hear my chemical romance and seether and bands that sound like them.. so it's all just one big blur on the radio...

 

[DKskater75]

did you just compare Creed to Pearl Jam? this thread is going nowhere why do people insist on continually making them

 

[Killa Man]

rap aint dieing....wayne sold a mill in a week, 50 is droppin his new joint, em's droppin his new joint, kanye, ....

if you aint feeling the commercial shit theres still plenty of dope underground comming out.... Madlib is still KILLIN shit...Cannibal Ox is reuniting....

and about weezy being garbage..u crazy...i was feeling weezy since Tha Block Iz Hot back when you were probably still bumpin Sugar Ray and Mambo Number 5...listen to his older tracks like Shine and tell me he's garbage...."Now lets talk about this ice that im carryin, all these carrots like im a fuckin vegetarian"....to be honest hot boyz and cash money woulda been shit without weezy and i always knew he would be runnin the game one day...

rap aint dead its takin a new direction...cats aint being super lyrical anymore because they would rather make dance tracks, yeeeeeeeeh, and can you blame em? thats where all the moneys at...i dont understand how you say rap is dead when its owned and still owns the music industry for like 10 yrs now?..

 

[MountainSmoker]

and about weezy being garbage..u crazy...i was feeling weezy since[/b]

Wow, I'm sorry.

Obviously rap isn't dead in the industry, but mainstream rap is complete garbage compared to the dope old schoolers kickin out shit on the radio in the time periods we mentioned.

Little Wayne is a piece of shit, 50 Cent sucks, cant turn on the radio and hear anything good anymore.

 

[Killa Man]

if u like to dance you cant help but get high and bump it tho

 

[hyphyjoose]

i agree 100% man...the last good rap cd i remember buying was get rich or die trying....and that was years ago...........dont get me wrong theres some great songs that have come out in the last few years, just not as many.

get rich or die trying..wtf

 

[somerandomguy]

I like whatever music i think is good...lol
I love lil wayne, t-pain, kayne etc.... rap and hip-hop makes you feel like your on top of the world, make you feel like your the shit.
I also love phish, jack johnson, slightly stoopid, guster etc. this music make me love life.. lol that sounds gay but its true.
I also love sound tribe sector nine, bassnectar, the glitch mob etc. techno/electronica just feels good listening to.

 

[guudbud]

I listen to rap back in middle school and through highschool which after I turned to pantera,metallica,slipknot,etc.. real music with artist that ALL have a actual talent. anyways todays "rap" is not about the actual art of being a fuckin mc it's about a stupid look,swagger whatever you want to call that B.S.... there were many back in my day that had skill and krs one was one of my fav but to me after the whole biggie 2pac thing Is when I felt rap had taken a wrap. there are some semi old skoolers still at it but there just trying to go with whats hot and sucks imop...
I watched vh1 hip hop honors a couple weeks back and enjoyed watching cypresshill,too short,slickrick,scarface, too many to list lol.. anyways It took me back and had me tuned in, those that were there and alive still had it and more than anyone of these kids now i tell you what!!!...WOOOOTTT

are you talking about that little skinny predator looking mutha fucker? the one that "trys" to sing but his voice cracks and can't carry a note? the fag that "trys" to play a guitar but fails worse than my 2 year old? the queer that always has a styrofoam cup in his hand but has millions and can't buy a real cup? That takes talent to look like a absolute doche bag... he sold a mill cause retards buy his bullshit!
50 cent same beats rehashed, says the same shit over and over and when he can't come up with anything he fills in the blank with a ggggg g-unit! fag, eminem fell off before he even got on.. the end
