    Keep real hip hop alive, teach todays youth that the radio commercialistic bullshit IS NOT real hip hop.

  5. I really don't want to get into this argument, but....hip hop is hip hop. There is no "real hiphop". Different types, sure.
     
  6. Tech baby!

    Sorry I disagree. I grew up in the 80's and the 90's in NYC, the difference between then and now is night and day. "A different type" is letting them get off way to easy.

    The majority of the shit that played on any form of media today is hip pop, not rap.
     
  8. this is one of my smoking songs, plus rep

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQaXBER9Q7Y&feature=related]YouTube - 11 - Tech N9NE - In The Trunk[/ame]
     
  12. How about this:

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnSnyiKX1WA]YouTube - Lowkey Ft. Logic - Relatives (With Lyrics)[/ame]

    Lowkey plays the part of a British kid that eventually joins the army
    Logic plays the part of an Iraqi kid.
    In the end the two stories converge.
