True hip hop.

[djsinister]

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.

As a follower of rap since 1984, I can honestly say that REAL hip-hop died with the coming of NWA in 1989, IMHO. But I agree that Pac's death was also a pivotal moment in the demise of rap. His death turned me into a house DJ. If that's not pivotal, then I wouldn't know what is.

Not to say that the Game is not talented because I like his style too, but your missin out on a lot more talented artists on the west coast.

Check out: Crooked I, Rass Kass, Planet Asia, Sly Boogie, Yukmouth..... man.... the list can go on and on.

Trust me... after you hear them out..... you won't look at hip hop the same way again.

oh i have herd of Crooked I and SLy Boogie, and they are great artist...but i some how ended up staying with 'Pac and the Game and if i hear more from Crooked...than DAMN his shis is GOOD

other than 'Pac, i enjoy listening to the Game

So rodent, what do you listen too?

GSTracer05, the guy doesn't even smoke weed on tour. What the hell kinda Rap star is he. Heck, all those so called rockstars and whoever else are on coca 24/7 and this guy is in the light. He's shining right now and doesn't even touch that. That takes some strong will power.

Just to let yall know i love every type of music out there, im just in my Kanye phase .

My favorite rap 'song' is the one in between the album tracks, known to the world as silence.
