Oh dear. Stop while you're ahead.
You and I have different opinions on what is what. I'm in the camp that hip-hop is the genre and rapping occurs in said genre.

Fair enough sir.

the "that's not hip-hop, that's rap" people are the absolutely worst I swear.
You cant really say something like this if you're calling busta garbage
There are very few things in life that would be better without cursing.

And to the do who said listen to better hip hop I do, A-1 and Atlus are my current favorites, and what I would call fun hip hop.
So basically what's "hot" and on the radio right now?

Hip hop wpuld be better if people stopped rapping about swag and got back rapping about women, parties, and homeboys.
Rip hip hop: 1985-1997
I knew you were one of those types of people.
First you're all HIP-HOP DIED IN THE 90s and now you trying to say hip-hop and rap are two different genres of music.
Get outta here.
Amen

Who?
Damn right I am, you have nobody like we had. Nobody.
No disrespect but yo shit ain't my shit.
Nah man, little later than that. Still was decent shit in the early '00s.
Nothing! I mean, have you turned it on in the last 7 years?
Yeah, cause music after 1997 stopped having a "message".
Get the f*** out of here.
Damn right I am, you have nobody like we had. Nobody.

You can be all nostalgic and OG all you want, and you could even make a convincing case that some of the first and 2nd generation rappers body anybody out today.
But you cannot sit there and say that there aren't artists out there putting out some good ass hip-hop.
You just can't. You'd be wrong, factually wrong.
There's a difference? I just rate it by "Greatest", "Great", "Good", "Okay", and "Not listening to this crap".
Oh man, this thread got ugly quick.

Nah I mean to go on what you were saying, you basically described what's most likely on the radio now. I haven't actually listened to radio stations in a little over 3 years. It was shit then and most likely shit now.

I ain't no joke, I use to let the mic smoke
Now I slam it when I'm done and make sure it's broke
When I'm gone no one gets on 'cuz I won't let
Nobody press up and mess up the scene I set
I like to stand in a crowd and watch the people wonder, damn
But think about it then you'll understand
I'm just an addict, addicted to music
Maybe it's a habit, I gotta use it
Even if it's jazz or the quiet storm
I hook a beat up convert it in to hip-hop form
Write a rhyme in graffiti in, every show you see me in
Deep concentration 'cuz I'm no comedian
Jokers are wild if you wanna be tame
I treat you like a child then you're gonna be named
Another enemy, not even a friend of me
'Cuz you'll get fried in the end when you pretend to be
Competing 'cuz I just put your mind on pause
And I can beat you when you compare my rhyme wit' yours
I wake you up and as I stare in your face you seem stunned
Remember me, the one you got your idea from?
But soon you start to suffer the tune'll get rougher
When you start to stutter that's when you had enough of
Biting it'll make you choke, you can't provoke
You can't cope, you should of broke because I ain't no joke
I got a question, as serious as cancer
Who can keep the average dancer
Hyper as a heart attack, nobody's smiling
'Cuz you're expressing the rhyme that I'm styling
This is what we all sit down to write
You can't make it so you take it home, break it and bite
Use pieces and bits of all the hip-hop hits
Get the style down packed then it's time to switch
Put my tape on pause and add some more to yours
Then you fake it, you're ready for the neighborhood chores
The E M C E E don't even try to be
When you come up to speak, don't even lie to me
You like to exaggerate, dream and imaginate
Then change the rhyme around that can aggravate me
So when you see me come up, freeze
Or you'll be one of those seven MC's
They think that I'm a new jack but only if they knew that
They who think wrong are they who can't do that
Style that I'm doing, they might ruin
Patterns of paragraphs based on you and
Your offbeat DJ, if anything he play
Sound familiar, I'll wait till E say
Play 'em, so I'ma have to dis and bro
You could get a smack for this, I ain't no joke
I hold the microphone like a grudge
B'll hold the record so the needle don't budge
I hold a conversation 'cuz when I invent
I nominated my DJ the president
When I'm see I'll, people freestyle, going steadily
So pucker up and whistle my melody
But whatever you do, don't miss one
They'll be another rough rhyme after this one
Before you know it, you're following and fiending
Waiting for the punch line to get the meaning
Like before the moral of my story I'm telling
Nobody beats the R, so stop yelling
Save it, put it in your pocket for later
'Cuz I'm moving the crowd and B a record fader
No interruptions till the mic is broke
When I'm gone, then you can joke
'Cuz everything is real on a serious tip
Keep playing and I get furious quick
And I take you for a walk through hell
Freeze your dome then watch your eyeballs swell
Guide you out of triple stage darkness
When it get dark again then I'ma spark this
Microphone 'cuz the heat is on, you see smoke
And I'm finish when the beat is gone, I'm no joke
Metal would be better if it wasn't pandering to 15 year old suburban white boys
Punk would be better if it wasn't pandering to 17 year old faux-anarchist vegans
Jazz Ensemble would be better if it wasn't pandering to 55 year old pop culture professors
Electronic Dance Music would be better if it wasn't pandering to confused 14-year olds
Post-Grunge would be better if it didn't completely fail at being aggressive or interesting
etc.
You can just ignore him, he was in the NBA thread a while back doing the same pretentious nostalgia schtick , "LOL modern-NBA fans" and what not.
He's just out of touch.
I think cursing works for a lot of artists but yea, here's proof that you can rap without cursing.
I enjoy Eric B & Rakim - Lyrics of Fury off of Follow the Leader. An "aggressive" song without any cursing.

I believe and by I, I mean I, that this current shit isn't even fit to be played in the car. You can't even ROLL to it. But it's just me. I'm a crusty old hip hop head man, I'll be the first to admit.
and you're right you ain't got nobody who could body biggie. Nobody.
I moved from BAltimore a while ago, but it's all over the radio Friday and Saturday nights. I never really fucked with it, but it was still sad when K Swift died, she was a Baltimore icon.BTW: What's up with Bmore club music, still playing that shit? Last time I heard it was about when K-Swift died.
