That's gangter rap... not really hip-hop.

You need to check your history. Hip-Hop was created in Bronx N.Y. I know my hip-hop. Especially being in the industry. A hip-hop artist and producer. Since you consider 2pac not to be hip-hop (Actually the best hip-hop artist to ever LIVE, do some google search to scrounge up some facts) even though Biggie was my favorite artist of all time. I refuse to argue. I'll give you some hip-hop names skizo and also to educate other members within these forums who may not have any idea who these people are.

I just know my history I grew up on all of it. I have been a hip-hop fan since the beginning around the KRS-One Boogie Down Production days.

There are more but not much in this current bubble gum climate. Take from someone who admires a lot of folks. I know I definitely forgot some worthy contenders in my list. I'm currently just going off the dome.
Thats hip-hop as you probably may know.
