hip hop is dead

[gjohnson5]

As a teenager, everything is based on peer pressure....did you actually live as a teen and try to understand the things going on around you?

My friends liked the country and I preferred the heavy metal, I was given outside pressure to like country and I do like some but it ain't my genre. Weaker children would go with the decision that would make them accepted in the social group they wanted to be involved with...kids make decisions all the time based on peer pressure.

Wow , this is a good discussion...
To be honest , if you hang out with a certain crowd , I have a hard time believing that their taste in music in some way shape or form won't rub off on you.

Hey gjohnson5. Will you go to a Rammstein concert with me?

Rammstein as in Rammstein, germany or is Rammstein a group?
After googling Rammstein apparantly it's a metal group

Not into that

only reason Nas said it is to start a media fiasco to sell records

same reason he tried naming his new album Nigger

publicity stunt

LOL @ Nas
I agree that Nas generally gets dissed for not selling records. So to be honest I don't blame him for trying to create a circus. But I also agree that alot of Nelly / 50 Cent pop rappers get alot of air play when more deserving battle rappers w 1000x harder lyrics go hungry. Bout time someone said it

nas is a little bitch as a person(he gets no respect from anyone in queens anymore) and goes crazy every couple of years. Cormega, nature, AZ...all hate him.

but you cant deny his talent and what's he done for hip hop. so as a person, i think hes a doosh. but as an artist/lyricist, i love him

kinda like kanye

i'm just glad as a kid I wasn't running around doing drugs and robbing stores based on the content of music I was somehow marketed into listening to lmao

Well doing what the records say and doing what your boys suggest are 2 different things. I don't know of anyone that actually shot cops because NWA said "Fuck the police" however I do know of people that shot cops cause they sell crack. Well I guess I should say knew cause all those dudes are probably dead. The streets claim lives

Kanye is another dude who went hungry trying to do what he loved. Having said this I can't knock the man. He also gets respect from me when he basically cried on national TV and said "George Bush don't care about black people" That could have been a career killer... Anybody who stands up for what they believe in like that gets respect even though his massage was a little misplaced

You should be the public at large or atleast people who are supposed fans of hip hop.
