Country is a joke. Rap is a parody. Rock splintering into different genres, most of which ain't so hot. What else is new?

I wish Eazy-E was still around...he'd take a Tek-9 right up to Time headquarters and then chill for a photo-op...
You know.. I fricking love rap and think that Rapping is one of the music genres that has the most talent (best and worst)
But I'm glad that the Rap industry is crumbling... Finally Frickin emo kids and heavy metal heads can get off our collective [censored] and finally realize that Rap isn't causing the destruction of modern day society like some of you would SOOO like to believe...
I can't wait till Rap as an industry is largely innoculated.. And then you biotches won't have Rappers to blame for your problems any more...
Then maybe Police wont be able to blame Rappers for them not being able to solve crimes

Rap needs more MF Doom and Ghostface killa team ups. That new album of theirs is going to be the greatest shit ever.

If it ever happens. What the hell is Doom doing? It's been a 2 year break from the game after dropping like, 4 records in two years. He had a tracklist ready for "Three Years Later" and everything, yet the release date (July 3) passed without a peep. What's the deal?ParticleReality said:
It still isn't out yet ? LOL, they should call it "Doom Nukem Forever"...ParticleReality said:
@Topic: I don't know... IMO commercial rap music mostly sucks, but that's just my taste and some of the stuff is enjoyable when drunk at the club. What's interesting, how my generation grew up with songs like Michael Jackson's They Don't care about us or generally Michael Jackson, and the generation nowadays grows up with "In the Club" and "Push my button".
I think commercial rap is pretty much praising capitalism, I'd daresay it's capitalism propaganda. Where did the story-driven music videos go... It's just showing off with cars nowadays, so uninspiring...methane47 said:

Eminem needs to come out of retirement and straighten things up.

The second he comes out of retirement, 50 will be meaningless anyways.
Eminem's presence on the rap market is worth a LOT.
Just as an example, I love to listen to RHCP and 50 Cent while in my car, both have mainstream songs that are just as disposable, but Ive bought every RHCP album since Blood Sugar, and Ive only bought 50s first, and will most likely never buy any of his albums again. Touring helps rock groups enormously as well, as they have a tangible relationship with their fans, that most hip hop artists don't - then again, theres not that many rapers I would actually like to see live anyway.

My wife won't tolerate it = I don't listen to it anymore.
That being said, Puff Daddy's profiting off of Biggie's death (although I fucking loved it) was the beginning of the end. It went from gangsta to bling, and then there was eminem, and then ....
It died. Or as that schmuck in the NFL thread would say, "you was dead."
Cold-Steel said:
It really is, Eminem(as well as Elvis and a few others) are people who really made a particular music genre accesable to white people (and it doesn't hurt that they are really good). Really, I don't want to offend anyone, but I just don't think that any music genre can be truly mainstream if it doesn't have any white artists.

Listen to his works. Listen to Illmatic (which is like one of the best albums ever made period). Listen to some of his stuff like "If I ruled the world" or "my country"(so beutiful) or "one mic", you know what, listen to both Illmatic and Stillmatic and tell me if he isn't smart.
Man rap sucks. We need a hundred boring backpacker emcees to save us from the drivel that MTV churns out. But really there hasn't been any hugely popular mainstream rap artists in a while.
I'm going to just go listen to some more Young Jeezy. More rappers need to sell blow and rap about Evisu jeans.

Havoc Says "Fuck T.I." And Speaks On The South On Shade 45
In a recent interview with Sirius Radio's Shade 45 network, Havoc had some not-too-kind words to say about T.I. and the entire Southern hip-hop movement.
"Fuck T.I.," said Havoc bluntly. "I'm not trying to hate on him, because he's definitely in my list, he's a good artist. I love him to death as an artist, but he can't fuck with M.O.B.B. Anybody down there can't fuck with M.O.B.B.," he added.
The host then asked Hav if he meant the entire South by "anybody down there".
"I ain't got no problem with the South, but them niggas need to get off their own dick," said Hav. "I'm not shittin on the South, Atlanta, Georgia, where ever you want to go. But dont get on your own dick so fast, because everything can be taken away."
Havoc stated that his main problem with the region was that the New York gets no love down South, but the South gets plenty of love in New York.
"This is where it started, this is where it's going to end," said Hav. "It might not be here now, but it going to be here, you feel me?"
The host of the New York based radio show made fun of Southern songs like "Wipe Me Down", "Walk It Out", "Ay Bay Bay", saying that grown men should not be making this kind of music.
Most callers more or less agreed with Havoc's stance on the issue. One fan from Los Angeles chimed in with this little anecdote: "We need that fuckin' gay music to separate the gangstas from the gay motherfuckers"
In other news, Havoc is set to release his new album, The Kush, September 18th on Nature Sounds. - Pizzo

NEW Rap Sucks, along with the "artists" that are heading up them.
OLD Rap kicked arse. It was filled with TALENT 1st and Foremost.....and that's what's killing current rap: NO TALENT HACKS getting the limelight, drowning the entire industry with stuff that only helps kill the genre.

You're wrong. Sorry. Only a handful of musicians in any/all genres are worthwhile. The "lol more like crap!!!!1" attitude is terribly ignorant and short sighted. Just because you haven't heard good rap and all you've heard is tripe like MIMS doesn't mean that there isn't good rap.narcosis219 said:
The only more ignorant opinion is "lol only good music is from the 70s and corny prog metal." But that's for another thread.

Yes. Thank you. It can't be said enough. I :lol @ anyone that can't get that in their heads.
Its like, "bu..bu..but, older rap was the greatest!" Has anyone actually listened to the lyrics? The new rappers are rapping about the same damn thing, and often times, using the same damned lyrics as the old ones. There is a quote along the lines of, "every story has been told, but, its how you tell it that sets it apart", and it applies. People have been singing the same songs over and over again, and haven't really advanced. I must have been the only one that listened to Big L, and turn on the radio, and here emcees trying to spit the same stuff he did. Its astonishing how rosetinted the glasses of some people are. Party songs have always existed, in music...period. Look at a history book.
