How can people stand people like Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi, or Drake? It's not really a factor if they listen to them a lot but when they start debating about whos the best emcee, they all say lil wayne. Like wtf is this industry getting into. We had Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Jay-Z, Nujabes, true hip hop u know what i'm saying. Just wanted y;all opinion
I don't know how labels have been picking artists but I think they tried to go after some trend they thought was out there but they're just putting out trash. I don't think anyone can say the people you hear on the radio or see on MTV are a the top of their genre, whatever genre that may be. Lot of talent in the underground though
believe it or not individuals exsist outside of you and have their own thoughts and feelings, enough said? don't hate just to hate
Of course i dont hate just to hate. I have reason. It's fags like these that killed Hip-Hop and fucked the underground artists. Where can u ever hear Rakim or LL Cool J these days man..? DAMMN
man i think you needa chill out. those dudes time is up as far as mainstream play. its these dudes turn now. itll be over soon and there will be new artists in their place. thats how it goes. dont gotta call em fags and say they killed hip-hop when they prolly arent and i know they didnt kill hip-hop, at least for myself.
ur just a broken record man, theres so many of these hate threads on gc get over it u really still want to hear L.L cool j? tell him to come up with a new good song and im sure it'll get played. Or better yet...buy his cd's and listen to them? u dont have to listen to the radio.
hip-hop isnt dead mane its just evolving bruh..n if you want to hear emcees like rakim or LL cool J then throw on one of their cd's n stop bitchin.
Hip hop is business, business means selling, selling means target market, target market means people you're trying to sell to, in order to sell you have to appeal to them DUMB HIP HOP FANS ARE THE REASON
Thank you, i can't stand those Kanye fans. I don't even like Kanye i bet i can drop more knowledge than those fans of him. Matter of fact, I hate it when some ppl say Pac or Biggie is their fav rappers, can't even drop a name of one of their songs other than hit em up or hypnotize!! SOME posers!!!
No offense man, but people who constantly preach that hip hop is dead bullshit and complain all the time about mainstream artist are usually giant douchebags in life. Yeah ll and rakim may not be around anymore, but shit changes. Music in general is a business now. Theres still plenty of artist doing their thing and making great music, and you can always listen to paid in full anytime you want. so why dont you stop taking up space in the music hall and just listen to what the fuck you like. jesus man people like you make me want to pull my hair out.
Just wait till the next more diluted wave of bling trash they bring out. Then you'll be jonesing for Lil Wayne....
Hey guys! Hip hop is a kind of music I really enjoy listening too, but I got tired of listening to the same shit over and over, so some months ago I started listening to the hip hop channel of www.earbits.com, it`s an online radio that has no mainstream music and zero ads!! Try it and I`m sure you`ll fine nice new artists as I did.
Fuck jay z in the ass with a broken crack pipe. Mainstream hip hop is all about money, Aim that shit at mainstream kids and the millions roll in quick. Underground is where it's at. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vimZj8HW0Kg
