This has to be old because the old extra alien extravagant terrestrial controlling galaxy rhymes don't work anymore.

[krmulliger]

@strafer Underground, "extra alien extravagant terrestrial controlling galaxy rhymes" are still hugely popular in Indie rap. And that's the best kind. Look up "Aesop Rock hail mary mallon" next week.

[Ryadavas]

What happened to Graffiti?if you cant represent probably the strongest elemetn today you should not drop this. What i learned is that there are FOUR raw elements. this is the biggest bullshit since nas dropped Hip Hop is dead and all the fucking nut cases walking around asking ppl who kiled hip hop.

How is hip hop dead? Hip Hop is not dead MCing in USA is dead although there are some true original MCs out there. go to France, Polen, Germany what ever country in Europe and The CULTURE is ALIVE!

[clevelandbrowns303]

nas meant commercially hip-hop is dead, because mainly bubble gum took over, and ny fell of the map, after they made hip-hop what it is. but if you look for them there are still good places for hip-hop heads to got to everywhere in this country.

[BeatlesSydBarrett9]

@Ryadavas what the fuck? Dude, You must have not dug underground! American Hip hop is alive, not strong but we still got plenty of good Mcs, we got rap groups, we got Atmosphere, Murs, Eyedea(wait he's dead, but check him out), Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Aesop Rock, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Rek The Heavyweight, Brother Ali, The Crest, and I know I'm missing out on a lot of other good rappers, but those are the only ones that come to mind right now, so I suggest You check them out.

[blestcurst]

I like underground, but that's too underground for me...

[ProtaJ]

Ey, who was the white guy with the beard in the beginning beatboxing? I have a hiphop documentary called "The Art Of Freestyle" and he's on the special features section spittin' in a cypher with 3 other guys and his freestyle was pretty impressive. If anybody knows who he is, lemme kno.

[brokemc]

his freestyle is ridiculous. peep some of my subway series footage!
