Hip hop/rap thread

[^_^]

Man the air is getting thick in here, too much Kanye dick riding.  :pimp:

When the beat drop on the Dipset anthem >>>> anything Kanye ever put out.

You are the only one in hear not appreciating music; stop hating on other peoples styles and realize that you aren't the only one that can have a taste for music :thumbsup:

Appreciation is one thing, saying some one is in a league of his own, miles ahead of the rest, on a whole new level etc etc is just worship thats not appreciation. Cats need to be checked every once a while, just doing my job.

[^_^]

To my ears, so and so can be ahead of the rest. Remember, it's my (or Adi's, or whoevers) opinion; you don't have to agree with it; if you agree you can say "hey, i feel the same way, i really like blah blah blah"; and if you don't agree with it, you don't have to try to convince people that thier music sucks. I don't see the logic in doing that, there is no point to it at all.

By saying hes the best in the game today you are disagreeing with millions of other people where the logic in that?  :dontknow:

By believing in Allah you are also disagreeing with m(b)illions of other people. Logic?

It's opinon homie; my ears hear better to me than thiers :hello:

Have your oppinion but don't cry when someone disagrees with it.

You see this is whats wrong with so called 'heads' these days, they want to tell you Kanye, Jay-Z and Wayne are the best e/g. No one can disagree with this, otherwise they are hating.

Its a big part of hiphop thats why they have polls and discussion everywhere, Its like when Vibe magazine tells me Eminem followed by Jay-z and Wayne was voted the greatest Mcz of all time or some type of shyt like that, lmao whose voting in these polls. If I was hating on 50 no one would say anything, its all band wagon type shit.

Shit needs to go back to the days where rappers call out other rappers because they thought they where wack.

Hes not the best: thats my opinion.   :cheers:

Dudes got a shit catalog compared to some cats still in the game.

Are you a rapper?

I think Kanye West is more original and creative than most rappers right now. But at the same time I could say that Cannibal Ox are the most creative rappers i've ever heard, and I wouldn't be shy to try and back that up.

Trust me, it's no big deal that you don't feel Kanye. I don't see why I would have a problem with that.

"back in the day, back in the day"; that's the beauty of it, that rappers like West can make a whole new style instead of rapping about the same old hood shit. I don't care if you hate Kanye West, but don't come telling me that so and so is better.

Is it bandwagon? No, because I know people that are still feelin' 50. I know people that hate Cannibal Ox. Bandwagon? I call it taste, opinion, and preference.

I don't see why this always boils down to "dick riding"

Your a funny cunt where did I imply I was a rapper.

What I meant by that was like when 50 made fun of Kanye recently for example people are like look at him hating on Kanye, its not necessarily hating, its entertaining.

Creativity is good but its another thing having skills on the mic (being able to flow, tear apart a beat, ferocious delivery and the lyrics to back it up). Most fans are impressed by shiny suits and dances, thats considered creativity as well.

Its obviously all about taste, but if some one came up to you comparing soulja boy and biggie you would tell them to go home true.

Love the way you just assume I just want to hear the same grimy old hood shit over and over.  :lol:

Its alright man, usually have many arguments with other listeners and compare artists. But here feelings get hurt.

50 is shit. He really is. What has he released that was any good since "I Got Money?" Nothing man. I don't like him going around thinking he's still the shit. I'm not "hating" on him... it's just the truth. If he's gonna go around dissing one of the most successful rappers right now, he better have something really good backing him up. He doesn't have anything. He's still living off his past hits.

[BigMac]

I really hate kanyes new song with a passion, how can someone so talented make that peice of autotune shit.  :bs:

If I wanted to listen to someone tear apart a beat or ferociously delivery lyrics, i'd just listen to The Cold Vein. I wouldn't listen to Kanye West, in fact, he's far from being able to do that. But he brings a different element to the game of rap. He doesn't have the cold components that a true MC does; I wouldn't label or even consider him a true MC. He's just a very creative rapper/entertainer, and I happen to enjoy the music that he makes.

Hurt feelings? It seems as if anytime Lil Wayne or Kanye is mentioned, you always have to negatively comment; i think it's you with hurt feelings, you bastard! :boxing:

You're saying you thought i got money was good? o_O



Anyway mel and elite do carry on, its entertaining, plus you're both bringing up valid points.
