I have known this for a while, but there is not much that you can do about it from a listeners standpoint. This has been an ongoing debate/issue within the black community (in regards to the shit that gets play and who approves it).

Business is Business......but I will say, watch in the near future when the break aways occur. This mainstream B.S. will continue to exist, but a key group of people are seeing the "light" finally and making big changes.

[Turbo Terrance]

you would be rappin bout the same shit and the sounding the same as everybody else too if they were paying you millions of millions....

And if you want real hip hop/Rap.. listen to underground shit.. your opinion will change..

Why you think so many signed artist put out so many mix tapes? when they do mix tape there is no contract claus to hold them back...

Exactly.......sure they don't make the same money, but they have lots less problems, and remain true to themselves/the music.

[cactusEG]

I've notice most of them talk about the same shit. I really dont care what they talk about, Im mainly in the their beats...

[809KiNg]

why does all country and rock (everything white ppl listen 2) music sound the same???

[cjhutch]

Seriously if you want good hip hop just visit okayplayer.com. It's been my spot for years in order to keep up with all the new artists that rap for content rather than foolishness.

Hip hop is really more about fantasy life right now. You have rappers that want to talk about how much money they have, which they don't and then you have the ones that want to be thugs and claim they did so much dirt like that matters anymore. The thing that makes me sick is when you hear some of them talk about "I'm still in the hood" and all that other crap. Then you have grown men bragging about how hard life is where they are from and how many people get killed or robbed on a weekly basis like it's something to be proud of.

I love my hip hop, but you really have to turn off the radio if you want to hear anything of quality. The only reason I even hear most of the mainstream stuff is I know a few people that work with some of the larger labels and they are always shooting stuff my way asking opinions and such.

[ARH1192]

The OP is an idiot.

I'm not a huge hip hop/rap fan. I'm more in to blues/rock n roll. You say hip hop is all about "Money. trappin/drugs, gettin high, women and cars" isnt that true to ALL types of music pretty much?

There are plenty of rock and country songs about sex, women, drugs, money.. whats the difference?

[neon_ert3]

"Silly rappers, real riches are for the white man!"

^ thats some fukd up shit right there!
i listen to all types of music all they all say the same damn things just in a different way. from "honkey tonk badonkadonk" to "she got a donk" to "fuck you like an animal"

[PSINXS]

you would be rappin bout the same shit and the sounding the same as everybody else too if they were paying you millions of millions....
self respect > money.

if thats what i wanted to rap about no problem. but if i am being talked into or forced into rapping about something i am against, ill take my last check and walk.

[PSINXS]

i been knowin this too julio. just never shared it. but so many ppl dont know. and everybdoy knows underground artist music is way better. more lyrical content and its actually positive music.

you do know that same companies own all their labels too right?

country- sounds same

mainstream rock- sounds same

same goes for pop.

its all designed to repeat the same things over n over.

underground rock, rap are much different. undergorund rock is really good.


"Silly rappers, real riches are for the white man!"
THis is what they are saying after every board meeting.

[Tasuki_Civic]

haha your right.

funny how only hip hop only sounds the same but all music from a specific genre sound the same. thats why they are in separate groups. and most genres talk about the same thing. i dont see why pple complain so much about it. just listen to something in addition to whatever else you listen to and expose your friends to it. if they dont want anything new to listen to then f'em.

too much of the same thing is boring for any music.
