Oh my god sorry for bumping this again with more Styles P but I just heard some of the realest shit ever from him. Dude is mad talented AND he's pretty "mainstream".



That's no joke right there.

Nice, when I listened to hip-hop these were some of my favourites, specially can ox and company flow.

At least Metal is going strong, I need a main source of music

What irony? You made a blatant lie which is basically instigating an argument; proving my point to be true. Your long diatribes in the hip hop song thread make it painfully obvious.

Ok you didn't lie, but you did imply that someone else carries all of those arguments.

This thread is very good, because I never heard of any of these guys before. I only listen to rap from the earlier part of the 90s. Good to see some decent stuff still exists. Although im a sucker for TI Yes flame away.

ya that first song is painful. You dont have to have good voice to rap anymore, its painful. All this tight pants shit and really horrible corny voice stuff needs to go. Its amazing that it has gotten progressively worse the past 2-3 years. It wasnt great before that at all, infact it was quite bad, but jesus christ give me crunk music over this tight jean shit.
How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal and you have to be willing to work for it. Jim Valvano

This is the thing that irritates me most about each and every discussion on hip hop on the internet and why I usually avoid blogs like these: people claiming underground stuff is the only good stuff and that mainstream hip hop is dead. It's actually more irritating than the rock/metalfans who are certain hip hop is not music but just someone talking over a piano loop.

But this is not new at all. My favorite album of all time, Endtroducing, had a skit on it called 'Why Hip Hop Sucks in '96'. Do you think '96 was a bad year for hip hop? I mean, just look at all the great albums that were released that year.
Mainstream hip hop has apparently been dead since the dawn of the genre. Yeah sure, it has some rotten apples, but there probably isn't one single genre that does not have any bad artists at all. And please don't tell me you actually think that Immortal Technique or backpacker endorsed underground supergroup Jedi Mind Tricks are actually any better than Lupe Fiasco or Jay-Z because that would just make me sad.
