Official Hip-Hop Thread

[KnowledgeWithin]

Since some certain folks are very sensitive to words used to describe certain music i love i shall repost a whole new set of words. Hope this doesnt hurt ur feelings.

This thread for users who respect Hip-Hop/Rap for what it is, and listen to it and tell there opinion and why it is good or why it is bad. Posting or linking to some good hip hop/ rap stuff to hook others up to what your listing to at the time. If you says a group or person sucks, why? Post song lyrics, names, beats, etc, to back up your reasoning.

I know there is a lot of bad music in hiphop, but here is also a great deal of brilliant works, and this goes for every form of music. Debate and disuss, but dont come in making a single line like "Rap sux" "Rap is crap" and then leaving the thread without explaining yourself.

Another reason for this thread is to teach a person here and there that Hip-Hop/Rap is good, and more people should listen to it, no matter where you from, age, race or religion. Music is universal.-Typhoon
A friend of mines header couldnt type it better myself.

Define real hip hop.

Define real hip hop.

Um lets see a song of substance sometimes they can send a message. A song with lyrical content that will make u say sh!t i didnt think of that. Classic flow beats smooth tracks. Or they can be a full band ex. The Roots. I mean everyone has there own opinion i cant force music upon people u know.

It isnt a Hip-Hop thread without some Weezy hate.

Where's the substance in Just Rhymin with the Biz or La Di Da Di? Where's the substance in Bust a Move or Wild Thing? Point out the substance of a song like Saturdays? Time 4 Sum Akshun? Also, point out the substance of a song like Leflauh Lelfah Eskoskah?

Or are you saying Biz, Young MC, Tone Loc, De La and Redman aren't real hiphop? OGC and Heltah Skeltah, not real hiphop?

I didnt say anyone wasnt real hip-hop ur just puttin words in my mouth no homo. I just said i couldnt force music on people plus there are such things as different catergories of hip-hop as u can see im more into less mainstream music. Dance songs and word play have always been in existance what u want me to say that i never lessoned to a dance or that just listenin to some one recite poetry over a beat is the only thing to listen to i just couldnt. I cant act like i know all hip-hop shoot took me a while to figure out Wayne wasnt great. FYI Will Smith has a nice flow listen to i think i can beat Mike Tyson.

lessoned to music? damn...

anyway, why then put such an emphasis on 'real hiphop' in the original post? there's not such thing.
