True hip hop.

[Genuine_Stud]

With all the southern crunk bullsh*t, other rap songs turned into R&B nowadays, and overrated rappers such as Eminem and 50Cent, it seems as if true hiphop has been abandoned since 2pacs death in 1996.

So in honor of true hiphop, I'm going to post up a video of my current favorite hiphop MC, Crooked I. This guy hasn't released his album yet because of "complications" with Deathrow Records, but be sure to look out for him in 2004. He's gonna rip hiphop a new ass.

He's pretty good but no match for Crispy. More of him here.

hip hop is a perversion of what used to be called music, and if you disagree then you have no musical taste whatsoever! it's that simple! it glorifies pimps and violence, degrades women, and sends out the message that 'being a 50 cent loser is "really cool"' ...oh yeah! and they always "sing" about cars and money they don't have!!--- the way i see it: rap and hiphop are identical twins separated at birth they both suckkkkkk

When hip hop/rap started over 25 years ago, it was completely different and sometimes opposite of what it has become now.

The majority of new rap has NOTHING positive to add to the minds of the human civilization right now.

Shut up. As tempting as it is, I'm not going to get into another debate on someone's ignorance when it comes to hip-hop and you have shown it in your post, especially when you separate hip-hop and rap like they're not the same thing.

Crooked I left Tha Row finally. He just needs to find good production now. Dude's sick as hell. One of the few rappers I listen to any song they're featured on just for their verse.

As opposed to the pop crap produced by the amazing Spearses and the Aguileras or as opposed to the Rock-n-Roll of the 60's or the disco of the 70's, or the 99 luftbaloons of the 80's?

Since when has most "pop" music or art in general had much to contribute to the human civilization other than to instill a certain emotional response (whether "like" or "dislike") ?

haha!! okkkkk YOU are the ignorant one...maybe if you could READ and COMPREHEND you'd see that i didn't "separate" them... they're both practically the same shiiiit!!! and that says a lot about the audience who listens to that kind of garbage...wannabe ghetto...
