I Hate Hip Hop

[Kratom]

Really I dont get it. All that bling shoot you up muth fukken bitch stuff. Sugar Hill Gang rocked, Public Enemy awsome, so where did all go wrong. Any suggestions of stuff I should be listening to that will change my opinion? I used to pride myself in being able to appreciate most music forms, but hip hop today just sucks...same goes for modern r'n'b...:dance::dance:

[BigLeagueJew]

Man I listen to a lot of hip hop. There is tons of good hip hop out there. I think what you are referring to is the shitty mainstream rappers out there like lil wayne and fat joe. There is a lot of stuff like Atmosphere or other artists from rhymesayers that are really good. I could list artists for days but most people like atmosphere's stuff, see if you like it.

[bowl]

It's simple...Hip-hop got exploited.People of ALL races exploited hip-hop.I even seen her being exploited in Japan...

[middieman440]

eminem is just plain insane lots of good hip hop/rap out there open your ears listen to that ghetto raw rap not the the money getters listen to the real stuff if you cant find anything go on you tube and search tupac <real hip hop/rap
dmx
dr.dre
snoop
eminem
pac
biggie
50/ahhh kinda
and the list goes on

[jimmy8778]

look up celph titled. especially Turntable Science. i too dont like a lot of commercial music of this genre but that works. i also like much of Kanye West's work. not so much 808's, but Graduation isnt all that bad.

[Stoner38024]

IMO that bling bling shit is rap.

hip-hop is more on the rhyming and tellin a story side to music.

rap is braggin about riches and actin hard.

i like it all.

if u would like to listen to some homegrown country fried rap...

go to

HAYSTAK 7-21-09///<CAME A LONG WAY> on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads (http://myspace.com/haystak)

from nashville,TN.

he tells the truth and tells heart touching stories..
and he disses Eminem on a whole cd!!


i cant stand lil wayne.. sounds like hes 13 and cryin when he raps..lol

8ball & MJG is good shit too!!!

[Its a Plant]

Listen to Busdriver.

That guy can flow.

[tristan1986]

You should try listening to an aussie hip hop singer called 'phrase' and his album clockwork. Really good stuff.

[Stoner38024]

wats the difference?

[vodkafen]

90's underground hip-hop is good.

I understand your hatred. Because what you are seeing is that mainstream formula that corporate america shoves down your throat.. I challange you to listen to Tanya Morgan, Jay Electronica, Blu, Pacific Division, Busdriver, Out of sight, Just to name a few. I just want to see if you have the same feeling after listening to them.. then I can prescribe you with the proper hip hop medicine

[jtsik330]

try listening to some guys that rap with a purpose. People like Pac, me personally i am a DMX fan, I like older hip hop from from the 90's. Try listening to Immortal technique. Kinda underground dude thats pretty damn sick:thumbsup:

[whorticulturist]

Mainstream anything pretty much blows at this point in time..

I've been getting into Glitch music, (ie Glitch-hop artists The Glitch Mob)
for Hip Hop, i listen to a lot of Jedi Mind Tricks.. check out A History of Violence, that is a good album.. a bit on the hardcore, but the lyrical content is what gets me into hip hop personally..

[kasper4207]

Immortal Technique is really good. should be at the top of alot of list.
Also Jedi Mind Tricks is really good too.

[Greenport]

Jadakiss, styles p, sheek louch, Immortal technique, A tribe called quest, mobb deep, juelz santana (Actually I fuck with dipset hard.) DMX, ransom, and Pharohe monch just to name a few of my favorite. I love hip hop and rap idc if it is violent or not the wordplay is amazing half the time.

[JohnnyZ]

How can you not care if the lyrics are promoting violence? That's a shitty attitude to have bro. DMX isn't exactly the type of guy you want to be.. he's straight fucked in the head now.

[poohrx7]

i agree, But the music that is out now is not hip-hop.Rapper aint sayin nothing but how big rims are,how much money they got. Even the Dj s are shitty now. They just play CD S and shit talk.What happen to the real mc s and DJ S

[b3high]

If u dont like Lil Wayne your not listening to what he says or you just dont get it. Anything from Texas Devin the Dude, Zro, SUC, ESG, thats more good shit

[Bongojaz]

i hate hip hop too, but there are a couple good songs out there. i hate country, but there's a few songs i like. even the most horrible of styles is bound to have a few good songs. real talent will always shine through, no matter what crap is floating around with it.

[420 FMX]

i personally feel its been raped and pillaged.
Just for execs to make $$$$

People need to realise Hip Hop is made up of Four elements,
Which is a lifestyle/Culture.
Rapping is one element,
which has been marketed and commercialised beyond belief these days.. It's fucking pitiful!

Theres some good music out there, we just have to search alot harder to sift through all the bullshit.

[Claude9]

Dont hate Hip Hop....lol

[headshake]

bun b, outkast, talib kweli, mos def, apathy, papoose, black star, hi-tek just to name a few the others haven't. hip-hip ain't dead, and yes it has been turned into a cash cow, same as everything else. it's out there, you just have to search for it!


-shake

[RevvyRev]

being in the music business, i can say for sure that rap/hiphop is easily the worst to deal with. i record people for a living and i charge what i consider a fair price. however, i apparently charge too much for hiphop. can't tell you how many times i worked on a song where the artist was bragging about how much money/drugs they had and not want to pay more than 20 bucks for the 6 or 7 hours i spent polishing their turd. they can't even hook up a decent sack! sure, there's people who take their time and do it right but 99% think they're famous just because their voice is on a cd. i blame the parents.

and these arent just the local shitty wannabes either. some of these artists have grammy nominations and are taken very seriously by a lot of people. i'd name names, but i don't want to get shot at.

[killerweed420]

Does Kottonmouth Kings count?

[gypski]

I wanna hear Up Jumped the Monkey in rap!!!! :S2:

You remember....

Up jumped the monkey from the coconut grove
He was a bad motherfucker you could tell by his clothes
He jumped from the trees with his wand in his hand
And said listen up everybody I'm the bebop man... :D

hates a powerful word

[GROWxMOREx420]

Hip Hop and Rap are 2 different genres of music, for all of you confusing the 2.

[SoHigh420]

bullshit rap IS hip hop. Hip hop is more like the lifestyle than the music.
its pretty dumb to say hip hop and rap are completely different like they have nothing to do with each other when the founders of "hip-hop" were "rappers" not "hip-hoppers"

i agree with your statement to a certain extent. hip-hop is a lifestyle, but it's also a genre of music. hip-hop and rap are not completely different, their roots are intertwined from the beginning. the founders of hip-hip were/are EMCEEs, orginally, M.C.s, short for master of ceremonies, called such because they would talk/or host ceremonies over djs scratching/mixing at block parties and local events. this eventually turned into it's music form, hip-hop. to rap simply means to converse or to talk, or to talk over a beat. hence an emcee is a rapper.

but let's look at the genre of gangsta rap. gangsta rap is not hip-hop, nor is hip-hop gangsta rap, therefore rap and hip-hop are not the same thing although hip-hip emcees are rapping. there are many other sub-genres within hip-hip/rap. to try to put it all into one category is ludicrous...at least if you don't break it down into smaller, more manageable categories.

same as classic rock and grunge aren't the same, yet both are rock and roll.

all music is intertwined.

[Iceberg420]

Haystack sucks, sorry to anyone who thinks he's anything lol... eminem is like 50x better than him and eminem is twice as good as little wayne because M writes his own shit a little more than wayne does but its all good... besides haystack lol

[jiggsaw]

If you haven't listened to rap music bombed high on some 15 inch subwoofers riding down the street full of hot girls you haven't rally listend to it. it doesn't sound good on cheap ass speakers. haha. I listen to bob marlely and shit on 15's almost anything sounds good. Skrillex.

[prettygirlsmokes420]

Yo! About the lil Wayne Thing...
He has wrote more songs than eminem could EVER write,
Oh, that's right, Wayne doesn't write, hasn't wrote a single rhyme on paper since back in the day. ( like five or 4 yrs ago)He put everything he ever wrote on one album, and now he freestyles ALL his shit. Which takes way more skills than sitting down making up words that rhyme. Wayne spits WAY harder than M ever will hands down. Ur white so its ok u don't know...lol.
( don't b offended, I'm white too) but I am obviously more educated in the rap game. ;)
And I deff agree that rap and hip hop are diff slightly in style, I'm not diggin all this "jerk" stuff, and guys in girl pants rapping and using weed to try and be cool. Lol idk rap has changed.
I like slow jams personally,
Where'd the baby makin music go??
;)

[darthcannabis]

I can't respect someone as a musician if they can't play the instruments, and do it live. Hip hop isn't really music its just bullshit entertainment for retards.

[darthcannabis]

Off the record some of its cool.

[fasts102376]

they rap cuz the have no singing skills.. have u ever here a rapper try to hold a note?

[prettygirlsmokes420]

Now a.days talkers are singing in their songs, look at Drake. I like his style, not his new shit though. And you would be surprised at the number of rap/hip hop artists took classes or went to academys for the music profession. And some rappers can sing very well, rap/ hip hop is a unique style of expressing emotion andtelling stories. It's cool that a lot of ppl don't like it, they're gonna sell the shit outta those records anyways. It's when ppl get so upset about it, that's silly. I had someone tell me once " you keep cramming that music up and its not very lady like." What? Ok I do have loud speakers and I was listening to lil boosie, but still, is it really something to get bent out if shape for and let it bother you? To each their own guys, I personally can't stand screamo, and light rock. It's all god either way you go, if I pull up on someone bumping some slipknot full blast, I'm not gonna say "wow how ignorant," or whatever, no, I'm gonna say: "Damn! That dude (or chick) is rockin out!"
I'm just saying, I try to respect ppls ways of expressing themselves, and enjoy the entertainment in this world as much as possible!
So much negativity.
