What is the deal with rap dudes?

I thought his way for awhile, but you gotta realize that there are some emeralds in the rough.

Depends on what style you look for. Oakland/Bay Area has alot of good rappers if you like that style, which is where Pac came up in.

E-40, Richie Rich, Yukmouth, Dru Down, B-Legit, Nutt-so, C-BO

You give me a style you like and I'll tell you who you should listen to, you just gotta look beyond the mainstream for the style that grooves with you.

Yuk can go fuck himself. That pussy ass cheapskate is a straight bitch. I used to work for him directly on his offical marketing and online presence (advertising, and did his official website). That bitch never coughed up the money to pay me. So I took all his shit down, I get a call from his crack head wife a day later bitchin at me about how they don't have time to pay or some shit.

Anyways, my stance on rap is that it's all crap now. They all grow up from the suburbs, and still think they are being held down by the imaginary "white man". Fuck it.

Damn people. My thread wasn't an attack against rap or why is it so shitty....I said what is the deal with the current mainstream trend of every rap star teaming up with a random R&B singer to produce a 100 times over rehashed song. I'm not attacking rap as a whole.

Rap is crap. Simple as that.

Surprised no one mentioned Nas...the best rapper IMO
"Illmatic" is probably the most lyrical piece of music ever in any genre!

And I answered that question. It's all an attempt to make money... You hit the mainstream, and that's where the dollars are. But you also sell your soul to a mainstream rap crowd, which ain't all that informed

I'm over 30 and I've been listeneing to rap/hip hop since Afrika Bambaataa, and I'm not going to say NAS's illmatic is the best production of lyrics ever.

Wyclef is very talented...I like his combination of rasta and hip hop.

Thanks for the intell. I was just naming some rap artists who aren't mainstream. I agree with you about most of the rappers nowdays are spoiled, petulant, bitches......

I think 2Pac was the last, true poet there was......bridging the old school to the present......his heart will always inspire others.

Rap started to suck after Luke Skywalker left 2 Live Crew.
