so... we all are out for ourselves and what not but these new artist come from a small town in VA where the music scene is ZERO. if you are into new music and care to support some REAL artists PEEP THIS:
It's pretty obvious why mainstream hip hop is like it is ... the public wants beats not talent. If you want real deep music to think with then don't listen to the radio. KRS-One, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, De la Soul, Talib Kweli, BTNH, Nas, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Rakim, Immortal Technique, Lupe Fiasco, Common, and more ...
mainstream to me is 50cent, because all of his fans believe that he is "hard" but once his income went of 100,000 dollars a year, i think his gangsta card went out the window; m&m was on a track called "the realest niggas" irony? m&m clowns on MJ, brittney spears, lohan=mainstream; brotha lynnch wont ever get constant play, cuz he doesnt wanna change his lyrics and "watch his mouth" crooked i, easki, gurilla black, celly cell, dj quik, boot camp clik, hot dollar,scarface, a few of my favs
Ever heard any of the hundreds of remakes of "Children's Story" by Slick Rick, INCLUDING a rather great one by Mos? Prolly not, since you're busy listenin to lil wayne
@OhHaiMax "hip hop is about the message. It's about what you say with the rhythm, more so than the language." thats a paraphrase from Mos himself. Solid distinction too. Aesop Rock spits poetry at light speed. It's not hip hop, even thought thats what it's defined as, and he's one of my favorites. But hip hop needs to get back to cadence, to speaking between the words.
ya i hate that! and i hate ppl that just listen to kanye and wayne and think that they know hip hop! they dont even know who immortal technique is!!!! and they have no idea about chino xl or bizzy bone or talib kweli or rakim or krs one!!
haha i kno and she doesnt even really listen 2 him the onl songs shes knows by him are like lollipop and crap if ur gunna be a lil wayne "fan" at least no sumthin about him more than lollipop
whoa holds up dont put kanye in there cuz kanye is real lil wayne is alright but not for real hip hop hes rap remember kanyes been with kweli mos def lupe and now kid cudi whos nasty so kanyes still a real hip hopper
then you dont know real hiphop... mos def is real and since you are replying on one of his videos you know mos def but if a person knows real hiphop then they know chino xl immortal technique talib kweli bone thugz in harmony wu tang clan... you might have a good idea about real hiphop but you dont know it completly
Boo, its not about what you know dummy, its about your preference in music. Yours just so happen to be immortal technique. I know about bizzy bone, better yet, bone thugs n harony, talib kweli, rakim, common, lupe fiasco, but you will definately find me bumping lil wayne and kanye being that Im from the chi. Its just my preferences are different and so is everybody elses. By the way I have a quick question just for you, Can you shake your booty to kanye west and lil wayne?
i wasn't trying to say its all about what you know, i was trying to tell him/ her that hiphop is deeper than mainstream.. and ya i know about bone thugz in harmony, growin up on farm in kansas that says alot for me.. and i used to be a fan of lil wayne.. (still like kanye.. sorta) ..but wayne's music doesnt go deep like nas or immortal tech or kweli or mos def or pac or chino, so the answer is no.. you wont see me dancin to wayne
