Bad ass Solja Boy remix. Don't b.itch, just click and listen

I wasn't criticizing him personally, i was criticizing the whole "rap" scene these days where you can make an absolutely pointless rhyme about your left testicle, put it to a good beat, and have a ton of conformist sheep blindly accept it and talk about you like you're the best thing since sliced bread. Excuse the f.uck out of me for actually appreciating actual music.

Real talk, who do you like to listen to I am being nicely serious, so don't yell at me pwease.

I'll answer for myself. Grandmaster Flash, Afrikka Bambatta, Melle Mel, Kurtis Blow, Treacherous Three, Whodini, Busy B, Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and a slew of other hip hop artists who actually had something to say and rapped about stuff other than how many people they could gun down and how much money and jewelry they had. Much more entertaining and lyrically satisfying. Later, QD.

theres plenty.... They rapped about material things back than also. That has always been a part of rap. Rappers get money they get flashy. For every song that you find from those rappers u listed, you can find a song that talks about the same thing... if not on the radio, on a recent cd.

its all about gettin out of your environment, making a living of your voice over a beat. and telling your story. you listen to ANY type of music its all the same.. just different ways to let it out.. It was so crazy when i realized that when i started to listen to all types of music.

Damn you act like you forgot that I do know what I'm talking about here. I'm no rap expert, but I honestly think I know more about (old school) rap than anyone else on IA. Back in the late 70s-early 80s, there rapping about material things was few and far between. Coming out of the mid 80s, materialistic items started making an appearance, though not heavily. Rap back in the early days talked mostly about social issues and partying/having a good time(but not on today's scale). You're first paragraph is null. Everything was clean and made sense. All the nonsense you hear in rap today was basically nonexistent then. That's why NWA is considered the pioneer of that (gangsta) genre of rap. Pioneering meaning they started it all. You didn't have all the "fucc the police" talk going on before them. The only good hip hop today is the shiit you don't hear every day. I personally don't like it, but it is true hip hop. Later, QD.

Too true. Even if you didn't like what one artists had to offer, you could check out another to get a completely different perspective, sound, and point of view. Of course there were copy cat artists back in the day as well but, that is the nature of the music industry. As far as diversity goes in "rap" music today, it simply isn't there. What's even more troubling to me is, acts like Soulja Boy (and so many more "southern artists" I hear) don't even attempt to be lyrically satisfying. If you aren't going to have anything to say other than what's been said over and over again, at least attempt to do it in a way that is somewhat fitting of an MC. Apparently even that is too much to ask these days.

anything but this shit.


I'm more of a prog. rock guy (Porcupine tree, Rush, abigail's Ghost, dream theater, etc), but I dabble in hip-hop as well. Jurassic 5, swollen members, public enemy and nwa of course, and others. I can't name a huge list because i'm not a hardcore rap guy. I can name a huge list of sh.it i hate though, and i guarantee all of it is played on 95.5 the beat.
