i hope people who read this stuff learn from it that you can not judge a genre so easily. My friend told me so much I did not know about hip-hop and rap origins. whoever said metal is just screaming down a mic goes along with all the rest of the hip hop haters and country haters and whatever. seriously, some people are just so ignorant. I used to laugh hysterically when people said metal didn't take talent, now it really bothers me, it shows how stupid and close minded people can be.
^ that would be me then.
Thats why I said 'dont listen to me I know nothing about metal' I was trying to state a point that thats my first impression of that genre, so dont judge a book by a cover so on and yada yada.
Look at my collection of music, its quite diverse but i know there is certain music which just doesnt appeal to me. But I do know Techno or whatever is a lot different to someone who has something to say. Give decent MCs a chance.
instead of just saying 'rap sucks' take note of the Mcs mentioned here that you may not have heard of before.
I am always willing to check out things reccomended to me.

wrong. tupac said its not about east or west, its about money and bitchs etc etc power and money etc etc. he said that in the song called Bomb First. he dissed jay-z (which made me smile cuz i hate jay) and its basically not west vs east. its just whoever makes the best sales in the record industry. winner takes all but the people thought of it as new york vs cali. west vs east was a waste of time and lives. mainstream is mostly crap.
Wrong? How about the lyrics to "Hit em Up" then?
Well this is how we gon' do this:
f**k Mobb Deep,
f**k Biggie,
f**k Bad Boy as a staff, record label, and as a mother f**kin crew.
And if you want to be down with Bad Boy,
Then f**k you too.
Chino XL, f**k you too.
All you mother f**kers,
f**k you too.
(take money, take money)
All of y'all mother f**kers,
f**k you, die slow mother f**ker.
My fo' fo' (.44 magnum) make sure all yo' kids don't grow.
You mother f**kers can't be us or see us.
We mother f**kin' Thug Life riders.
West Side till' we die.
Out here in California, ni**a
We warned ya'
We'll bomb on you mother f**kers.
We do our job.
You think you the mob, ni**a, we the mother f**kin' mob
Ain't nuttin' but killers
Well, nowadays hip hop artist seem to tone down a bit with the violence and thats a good thing. Is true most of them had it rough and they had to expressed themselves somehow. I guess that now that things have settle maybe there will more positive changes in hip hop. I'm not a fan of hip hop but if it keeps it positive them I don't mind.
I remember I was with one of my mates and he was listening to NWA, i asked why he liked songs about guns (there was just a verse about shooting etc) and he said its just like listening to am action movie but with passion. I really thought about that, sometimes when I listen to 'gangsta' rap its just for fun. Listening to interlectual artists is worthwile. Theres a line.
I do think Hip Hop is popular for the wrong reasons right now. All I hear is about the ice and the bitches and these songs are getting most of MTvs airplay! 'Stunt 101' for example, that whole song is about 'stuntin', I dont hate G-Unit they have a few good tunes but nothing serious. I juts wish artists like Mos Def etc. Could share the limelight. then maybe hip-hop wouldnt get half the shit its taking right now
aes rock prolly wont blow up in the mainstream
his music isnt for everyone, mainly because he's very cryptic
uses big words and joins words to creeate pictures
while he is one of my favorite artist ever, i just see the reality
hockey please, its nice you like aes rock, run down some song titles and tell me what you think of the songs, for fun..weeee....and please ras kass and chino
try some sage francis and adeem, much smarter and creative...
while i wont hate on death metal i dont like it, one it scares me
and it is a bunch of screaming with one chord riffs, but if that's the music you like and listen to props to you cuz you enjoy it...
please have an open mind about music and enjoy the music you like
even if it is mainstream rap but its just dumbed down words fed to you
educate yourselves, i like to feel the emotion in the music, and i also like some party jams....but dont hate on other peoples music
because youve head a few g-unit and ja rule singles alright? deal?
you gotta dig, and EDUCATE yoursleves.....one
umm sorry MF i said Aesop ROck is gonna explode but i never really got into his music cuz i only heard like 2 stuff 🙁 can u recommend me some of his good songs.
for ras kass i like soo many. my top 3 for his songs are Van Gogh, Nature of Threat (obviously) and Verbal Murder. but there are soo many i like. o yea and also H20 Proof
for Chino XL i really like the song Nunca (never), NO Complex (its ok), and the 96 diss he did to Tupac.
