50 is fine. He's not selling out at all, he just released a nice track with jeezy and snoop. He hasn't resorted to songs like "instagram that hoe" as this video talks about, he's doing his own thing as he always does. Don't you dare put him in the same category as that YMCMB shit.

LL been tha in game 28 yrs old, fat joe 19, eve 13 yrs. i only brought 1 album fat joe the dark side dope. everybody else no. our fuck this era. lets return back 2 a time wen ppl had pagers, dickies, carhartts, flannel shirts, black loc shades, skullies, cross colors, aaca hoodies, dope ass beats wit dope ass lyrics to match. 1990s muthafuckas.

Checkout two songs. Google Ghost Black King with the Ring and Ghost Black Hip Hop Forever. Two amazing songs by one true Hip Hop Artist. This is a Classic.

Female MCs were far out numbered when compared to their male counter parts, still back in the day The Sequence, Roxanne Shante, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Sistah Souljah, Queen Of Rage & more recently T Love, Jean Grae, Rah Digga, Eternia, Invincible

many mcs sell out for that $ all these rappers mentioned in this video have sold out, some of these vets like LL & Fat Joe started off hardcore but moved mainstream, some veterans like KRS 1, Craig G, Masta Ace, Large Professor, Rakim are still trying to hold it down without going rnb / pop, but in truth are not really a patch on there music back when they were in their prime, Kool G Rap put out some new albums recently but they were pretty poor

[Ayana Shumate]

i love E_ve she just need the right producer, but shes always hot

This dude talking sucks man. Art is ageless. Nevet judge age,and swag.  I'm 40 and i rap. So fuckin what!!!! Got a problem???

[James de Boer]

how can you not consider Eminem as "good hip hop" ? You're retarded, he's been one of the best in the game for years.

lol, its all hip-hop whether the artist is wack or no depends on the listener why do underground hip-hop fans always have to be so elitist.
