Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Can't wait for The Games album, Naz's new double album, Ice Cubes new album, Crooked I's album, and Kurupt's album. Everything else is pretty much too overated.. especially the new 2pac album produced by Eminem.
    .....its gonna suck more when Gunit signs....get this....Chingy but this new nas double album gives some dignity back to hip hop, if you haven't listn to it...then get the bootleg or somethin..quick. Its like one of those albums that takes you back to pre-commerical rap, i think it only has 1 or two radio or club freindly hits. I can tell nas cares more about the music then cash with this album...unlike 80% of rappers.

      You know why I hate Rap and R&B these days? Cause they're not consistant

      50 Cent a couple of years ago: "I ain't no Gangsta, I ain't no hitman, me I'm just me"

      50 Cent now: "I'm so Gangsta, I'm so Hood" Ugh huh...

      Destiny's child before: "I want a man who pays my bills, bills, bills"

      Destiny's child a year or two ago: "Independant Women"

      Ugh huh... an artist has to have a continous theme or fiber in their music. This kind of xxxx turns me off more than anything else. I used to really like 50, now he's just a bullxxxxter to me, I'd rather listen to Ashlee Simpson than his crap.

        50 cent has been B.S. and always will be B.S. in my book.

        Why was he successfull... one word...overhype.

        Like MadHandle said, a lot of the best hip hop album are underground and unfortunately underrated.

          gotta say i cant agree more- but it seems like people look more at the hype and sex appeal poop instead of the content and consistency of music as a whole-- i guess it helps to have a good PR ...

            Yea, to me an artist has to stand for something an dtheir music stems from that. Take System of a down for example... they have many different types of songs, ranging from political, emotional, spiritual, etc... but you never feel that they're contradicting themselves. If you've only listened to one or two of their songs, you know EXACTLY what System is about, and it never changes. That defines what makes a good artist.............. and being Armenian helps

              That's EXACTLY what it's about. A good public relations person, who you know in the industry, and marketing. Everything else is secondary.

              That's why you hear mostly crappy music on the radio and just a few good ones.

                50 cent is all about the money...right after one or two radio hits he started making garbage basically. His lyrics are weak too...you don't constantly diss someone by just saying..."oh his a wankster". Just listn to battle rappers for some real punchlines.

                Gunit is expanding to something hip hop just doesn't need right now. They have the biggest general influence on most hip hop fans and what they do is what the image of hip hop turns into. I think the game is gonna be the next 50 cent, his coming in with a big hype and will most likely push a lot...alot of units in the west coast. Those artist are all about money...thats why underground hip hop is better to listn to...they still have the hunger to prove themselves, and in underground rap, talent is recognized.

                and whats mos def thinking lately......rock and rap don't mix its thinks like this that are changing the good days of hip hop.

                  I wish Rap would go back to being what it was supposed to be... something that gave voice to the streets, something that showed everyone else a world that they know nothing about. Anger, politics, the kind of music that made you wanna get up and make a change in society. No one raps like that anymore... cept eminem, and even his xxxx is getting tired lately...

                    your very wrong about that, that type of rap is alive, but....eminem?....political rap?

                    get these two albums and you'll feel like rap is back...trust me. Get the new nas cd Street Disciple and the Immortal technique cd called Revolution vol. 2.
