This is some crazy shit right there.
I've read this kind of posts before but this is one of "the greatest". :pinch:
"now a days rap has turned into a game of money, fame and pride." So far so good. Ohh, what do we have hear - one good rapper now that stands out in my books is Drake.
Most of the time Drake is replaced with 50cent, lilWayne, someotherprick.
One suggestion - search for stones throw records and compare.
Old rap is awesome. Most new rap sucks.
my favourite genre of music :D
haha, rofl xD
Definitely. Tell me you do not like this new track by Drake.?

Has to be the best song he has made so far.
He has a good flow but does sound better in RNB songs.
Right:

There are very few rappers that stand above the rest, and none that have surpassed tupac. Say what you will, the ratings and memories speak for themselves.
Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, Jay Sean, Brandy... I could go on and on about artists that maintain their integrity, while keeping a level of quality that others seem to willingly discard. Eminem used to click into the former description until his new album came out and he changed what he was about for 15 minutes of fame.
EDIT: By the way, I may not make it apparent, but I actually respect the kind of person you are a fair bit (you're not egotistic at all/easy to talk to etc.), so sorry if it seems I'm nitpicking/being annoying towards you.
I didn't notice. It is cool. Thank you.I like all the artists you mention except Brandy. She has made a few good songs. I haven' t heard any of her new albums.Rap is turning into a 80's/pop music mix.
Jim Jones,who is supposed to be a rapper and all his new songs are like that, Kanye West style beats mixed with club music. I admit I like some of them like Kid Cudi,Crooked I,Drake(not all of his music),too many Rnb artist to name. All Rnb is turning into a rock/pop mix.
Eminem's last album was really good. A little sick of it now but it was the best album that has came out this year,my opinion.
I can only but agree with you. The pattern has been gradually increasing. Starting with T.I. to Chris Brown to all the modern day active artists; the rock integration into the genre is unmistakeable, but it is where it's inevitably heading, as a rock ballad playing in the background will always be more favorable to the mass populace, as opposed to a simple drum beat and vocal nirvana. The days of Timbaland ruling over the beats are over, and sadly everyone wants inspired mixes to the tune of the new Eminem/Kanye disc. I won't admit I didn't like it, but I also thought Em sold a piece of his soul out to get that extra mile of fame.
Brandy is a unique one. I actually think she's an incredibly gifted artist, but her problem is song choice. If you ever drop by youtube and check out her one-take studio demos, they are all beyond amazing; however, somewhere between that and her final production releases, the talent is sucked right out of her. She's a prime example of an artist fight a losing battle between innovation and being limited due to what the masses decide to sway the industry in favor of.
hahah great
lol, omg. ppl still posting in this thread. imma have to have my name removed be4 ppl actually think i like rap.

Actually, I liked the old style rap when I was growing up: Run DMC and Fat Boys. The rap nowadays is just dumb IMO on so many levels.
