BUMP!

 

Kanye West is releasing a new album before the end of the year and his new single will be available to download on September 8th. Jay-Z has Blueprint 3 coming out before the end of the year as well so this basically means 2008 won't suck anymore. ;-)

'Sall about Dead Prez and Public Enemy. Public Enemy are old as, but their lyrics are still relevant.

Most rap now is about "hos", "gangstas" and "bling", it has no message, other than lame materialistic crap and takes a very chauvanistic view of women. It's all jus' shallow, mindless crap, like most mainstream music.

 

F*ck people like Chamillionaire, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent or Chingy, they're sh*te.

 

One of the only mainstream rappers that's any good is Eminem. Jay-Z's not too bad, and Biggie Smalls' stuff is still pretty badass.

 

Seriously, though, for good rap, listen to Dead Prez, or Public Enemy, there are others, but they're two of the best, imo. Rap's not so much about the music itself, but more about the lyrics and the rythem of the lyrics.

Immortal Technique, Digital Underground, Public Enemy, Common, Rakim, Bone Thugs...

 

I can go for days. I love hip-hop but not what hip-hop has become now. They rap bout the same thing over and over. I Like Lil Wayne, but only in a few songs. Sometimes he raps bout nothin, only tryna rhyme. Other songs like.. "Hustler Musik" "Something You Forgot" I liked b/c it had meaning to it. Thats just my view on him. I personally think Lupe Fiasco is one of the rappers who STILL got that REAL Hip-Hop vibe to em.
