Lil wayne - lolly pop reminds me of summer.
[mini rant] but the ones where they constantly use the n word is degrading. not only are they degrading themselves but their ancestors and every black man alive. [/mini rant]
anyway, what do you think.
though im still a rock fan.
****** is a good word, it should be used excessively wherever possible in rap.
its actually a disgusting word. if you use it you obviously dont know the history of the word.
Rap is hardly bearable anymore, the majority of the good rappers are either dead or have just pulled themselves out of the limelight.
Tbh, the 'n' word isn't considered degrading amongst the black community. Although the 'white' people in the past have used it as a degrading term to black people.
Lately I have gotten into more rap, and im more of a rock/indie/punk kinda guy. I love N*E*R*D and Kanye West.. and lupe fiasco.
Nahhhhh mate Nas is coming back, Ghostface had a new album this year and so did Jay-Z, there's still plenty aboutQuote:

yeah, i lol'd when they sampled "the eraser." kanye and lupe and all those guys are my favorites but they really are rap for white hipsters. they make it onto the charts fortunately because they are good songs, but i went to a kanye west concert a few weeks ago, and if you saw the majority of the crowd you'd probably believe it was a dave mathews concert.Quote:

lol yeah kanye did a concert in brighton late last year and a mate who went said there were only like 3 black people there other than kanye and his security lol
probably because of the area, resulting why there was alot of WHITE people.
the real deal rappers are coming back
nas, lil' kim, missy elliott :P
they've just got a lot of competition to live up to - well sales wise anyway
(lil' mama, lil' wayne, etc.)
