Hip Hop Options

[TiGZ461]

I've been listing to Hip-Hop, from the days of its birth to the most recent.
I'd like to see what your listing to and what you consider hip hop.
What's a track you've heard that you never get tired of/will get tired of?
What or who would you consider the "best"?
Who puts of the most bull ****?
And if you could just state why you perfer so and so over so and so's music.


No need to answer all this stuff or any at all, just somewhat keep it on topic.
I'll state my favorite after a few post's , and please answer honestly. Don't be ashamed of your pick, just state who it is and if you get insulted on your pick defend why you enjoy their music, that's all. I'm be honest on if I hate or like what you listen to, so I expect you guys to do the same, no hard feelings.


Lets heep it hip hop.

i have so much to comment on im sorry, but im about to GENERALIZE BRUTALLY...

Im originally from Queens NY, so i have a good idea of what hip hop is SUPPOSED to sound like and i will put it like this.... overall... the south is RUINING hip hop. ie: soljah boy,gucci mane,oj the juice,wokka foka flame and ANYBODY that sounds REMOTELY LIKE THEM.


WEEZY GOES HARD! though i didnt like him and the cash money crew at first, i understood that as wu tang would put it, that was their chamber, BUT when everybody else in the south started rapping that nursery rhyme bull$H!t its all u hear now... now mind u im being VERY GENERAL ( LUDACRIS, T.I. OUTKAST,and ALOT MORE go hard, but overall the south= EPIC FAIL.

thanks to the south we missed out on the hyphie movement with mac dre and the rest, and all the cool music coming out of the mid west... to me, detroit and cali should have been on the map, and not what you hear on the radio today...

someone earlier got offended when someone said the kids today listen to garbage, sorry u got offended but ITS TRUE... its NOT hip hop.

I work with at risk kids and what they think generally sums up what's wrong with hip hop today...

ex: i will tell them Gucci mane is garbage and has NO talent. their response is "Well he makin money though! and thats what counts!"

My reply: HIP HOP is an ART. THOSE IDIOTS have NO RESPECT FOR THE ARTFORM and are not contributing anything to you ESPECIALLY THEIR MONEY... so what is there to admire? a catchy beat and no substance is the rule of the day.

btw: JADAKISS,WUTANG,BIG PUN,BEATNUTS,MOS DEF, T.I. lupe fiasco, joell ortiz are Some of my favorites

PERFECT EXAMPLE OF GARBAGE

PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HIP HOP: WIN
