There's little left worth listening in mainstream hip-hop. If you want real hip-hop, go underground.

Soul Position - Hand Me Downs
Talks about the stereotypical black image and mockingly questions those who promote it.
Code: Select all

Binary Star - Indy 500
Talks about rapping just for the money and how underground is the way to go.

Anyone know where I can download songs like this.. unfortunately my "Pirates of the Caribbean" skills aren't good enough.

Please don't pirate them. These are the artists who deserve money for creating such well-versed songs.

i'd say this is where rap branches off, between entertainment and...i dont know...reality...i personally listen to music cuz i find it a form of entertainment and i could care less of some guy talking about spending time in jail, if i wanted to hear a story id pull out a book and read and no i dont like main stream rap either, just so noone brings that up :p

I've been listening to Immortal Technique for about two months now. I'm not really a fan of his beats but the lyrics more than make up for it. I've always found his songs to be very emotional, and some of his lines pretty clever.

My favorite line is probably
"Your attempts to extinguish me don't even bother me none, like retarded kids throwing ice cubes at the sun." - The Prophecy
I always crack a smile when I hear that one.

Lupe Fiasco a killa when it comes to rap I like it because he does not rap about money, cars, hoes, rims, and that other shit. Also something from Mos Def ft. Immortal Technique & Eminem - Tell The Truth
