I mean REAL hip hop, underground stuff... MF Doom, One.Be.Lo, Atmosphere, KMD, Apathy etc etc?
Just because some stuff is more commercial it doesnt mean that it isnt real hip-hop.
Anywho if you consider MC Lars, Sean Paul, Three 6 Mafia, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Method Man, Redman, or Asian Dub Foundation any of those to be hip hop, then yes I am a fan.
Nah, I used to be into the more-commercial hip-hop, such as Xzibit, Ludacris, etc. but I'm not anymore.
However, having said that, if it was played on the radio I wouldn't switch it over because of that reason.
What about 'old hip-hop' such a coolio, cyprus hill etc.. They were real hip-hop and you can never comment on them being bad. Just because some bands or people are more commercial doesn't make them 'real.' You want REAL hip-hop, go to the streets of LA or something, listen to them make their beats. Thats as real as it gets.
Heh, yeah. Those artists were great. However I don't listen to them often, but as I said, if it came on the radio I wouldn't switch it over.Quote:

I dont really like 'underground' hip hop..

Reminds me of a track by MF Doom called R.A.P.G.A.M.E (Rappers Against Phoney Gangsters and Mainstream Evil)
Real hip-hop is old skool.
Dr. Dre, NWA, Beastie Boys, Run DMC.
Now that's the good hip-hop that I like.
cypress hill, coolio etc..Quote:

mmmm yeah i like the way you two think, but believe it or not real hip-hop is still alive today its just harder to find
i think old-school hip-hop that had a message to fans like public enemy, cyprus hill etc. is actually pretty cool ^_^.
hip hop sucks.
Nah, It doesn't. You just don't like it. Don't get opinion and truth mixed. ;)Quote:
