Rap. Where have we gone??

Draquish · Post by **Draquish** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 1:46 am

Post here the Rap, you know the kind, that is "good".

Another way to say this is post rap that actually makes sense. Not that "shoulder lean" and "I wana **** you..." you know what i mean.

The rap industry has gone DOWN. Me being a former freestyler, I am ashamed of rap today. So here are a few songs that well...just listen to some of them

Here I go.

Tupac - Changes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUoUDuAPCZA

Tupac - Brenda's got a Baby.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl54ABY8VgY

Biggie Smalls - Big Poppa

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQzjOrYOw6M

Biggie Smalls - Juicy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noTvdpAYeHE

)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99HdRxlJzV4

Eminem - Mockingbird

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE0_PC_8j7o

KJ-52 - Revenge of the Nerds

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCYerg7Syn8

KJ-51 - Dear Slim(to Eminem)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3ukm077YOM

Reh Dogg - Why must I cry? ( I actually like this song

)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mWW6kRITEY

All these selections where SERIOUS selections. Even the last one.

If you want to find "good" hip-hop and rap just look for underground hip-hop or rap.

Rap has stopped being rly about the freedom of minorities.
Too much partying goin on, the rapstars have too much money and money changes people.

Tupac, KRS and Dead Prez are some of the ones who bring it back to the origins.

You're an idiot with an idiot's opinion.

Granted, there's a ton of sub-par rap out these days, but it's just all in what you like. Apparantly, there are plenty of people who like the new rap. It's more about beats and dancing and clubbin now, rather than meaningful, inspiring, and heartfelt lyrics and themes.

If you like rap that makes you think and that has meaning, listen to older 2pac, KRS ONE, Erik B and Rakim, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Geto Boys, or underground shit like Intellectual Technique.

Rotorboy · Post by **Rotorboy** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 5:32 pm

ok first of all: 50 cent is gay and a fake gangster he's probally shot 9 times
with a water pistol instead of a real gun

you're right if you say rap has gone down even snoop dogg is turing in the
wrong road.
i think dr dre keeps rap real and like old times which snoop dogg is doing
as well sometimes.
instead of all that gangster rap i think kanye west is cool to, he has some
nice raps and i think he's just being himself.

this is my opinion but flame if you want cause i think most people agree
with me on the 50 cent part

Reise · Post by **Reise** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 6:02 pm

What people don't realize is that 50 cent wasn't shot 9 times. He was shot AT 9 times. He got hit maybe twice.
