Who are your favorite hip hop/Rnb artists at the moment? All famous people can be selfish,bragging in their lyrics but I guess it is what people want to hear(not me).
Everyone love 2pac.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.

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.
