but mainstream hip hop is so damn retarded and its the only thing my classmates listen to, one of my lady friends and i were talking about music and i asked her "did you hear the new apc song, imagine" and shes like "whats an apc" what a turd. now we have a music club at our school and all they were playing was r kelly and shit and i asked to put on deftones and a guy asked what kind of music they played and i told him hes like "oh god no rock is bullshit" and of course everyone jumped on the bandwagon

What can you really say about rap/hip hop music anyway? Besides that it is alright for house parties. But then there is alot that is good for house parties so nevermind.
Underground hip hop is great, sadly it's never played anywhere which is pathetic since it's a million times better than almost all mainstream artists. Ask Hockey Horror or MF Doom for some artists, you will not be dissapointed.

That first part isn't true, i've been to a ton of clubs and parties which have played indie hip-hop, and I've heard Hieroglyphics, Non Prophets and Quasimoto on the radio just recently. It does get played, you just have to look a little harder to find it.

but in all due seriousness hip hop needs to be stopped for awhile...during that time they can think up some new ideas and beats and overall raise the maturity and intelligence of the genre...because obviously weve hit rock bottom...i mean cmon! who gives a F*ck about a goddam white t-shirt!?
hahaha, not one part of that wasn't funny. This guy's talking about intelligence? You type like a 12 year old. Well, maybe that's because you are a 12 year old. Honestly, I can name 20 rappers off the top of my head who are more intelligent than you. Take J-live for example. He has a college degree and teaches English. I doubt you have a high school degree and you can barely speak English, let alone teach it. All you're doing is showing how much you don't know. I guess it's not your fault. It's just funny that you run off at the mouth not knowing what you're talking about.
Oh yea, Hockey brings up a great point. The guy who produced Lets Just Call You "Quits", who is also a rapper by the name of mcenroe, has an engineering degree. What the f*ck you got? Milk?
PS We all know Eminem sucks.

Nah, I was just F*uckin' with ya. Hate hip-hop all you want, obviously. Damn that girl's ugly. The only reason why I find it annoying, but it doesn't bother me. I'm just like damn, that's an ugly ass chick. Make it as big as you like.

No, it was just that this wasn't the first time you've said that. Exactly the same thing, only worded differently. I just wanted you to know there's many, and I mean many, intelligent rappers out there. With college degree's and good jobs. It's the ones that sell-out that make them look bad, but there's more broke intelligent rappers than there are dumb rich MTV staples. It's pretty sad that the great one's get no exposure, while Eminem, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, ect get all of the fame and attention.

no shit sherlock! i was referring to the mainstream... there probably are better rappers out there but i cant stand that the most mainstram ones are making the most dull and ininspired crap and i have to deal with it everyday...so just to let you know im sorry if i accidently generalized...sheesh!
i dont like hip hop but lately with all the rave reviews about immortal technique i just might change my mind...
