is it just me, or is hip-hop getting really bad?

It's not getting really bad.

It always was utter crap.

agreed.

agreed.

Don't agree with that post.
Make your own opinion.
And I was surprised: YoManGo! hasn't been on lately...
I'd listen to some NWA but I haven't got round to downloading some already.

I hate Hip-Hop, always have, most likely always will.

All that stuff you mentioned has to be better than gangsta rap like 50 Cent.

lol 50 isnt gangsta at all hes released like 2-3 gangsta rap songs and thats about it

and yeah rap is getting awful need the likes of NWA, Snoop, Dre etc..

since Pac has gone it went downhill he was the best rapper and made the best songs if he was still here and the likes of Biggie, Eazy-E etc it would still be like it used to be. specialy since Death Row went out of buisness too.

i was in devon
def get some nwa on the go, it has the added bonus of all the side projects that came with it; so if you like nwa you can start listening to the music the members made by themselves. eazy e was the best, imo.

oh and btw everyone, gangsta rap died in 1996. we moved on, you should too.

I think Stronger by Kanye West is a good song. I do see were your coming from though. Hip-Hop this year has been bad.

[Hellspencer]

somes good somes not

[beth]

i was pretty disappointed with maths & english after a few plays and i don't like stronger by kanye, i hope his album is like the last two. i don't even know what to consider hip-hop though without someone putting me straight, so uhm yeah.

although i did like timbaland ft. the hives - throw it on me. i think it's a tune aha.

Guys, gangster rap isn't Hip Hop. You're criticizing the wrong brand of music when you talk ill of 50 cent, NWA, Snoop Dogg and such. Still no one took notice of my earlier post, try some "Black Star", "Mos Def", "Talib Kweli", "AZ", and "Common Sense". If you still don't like it after that then feel free to criticize Hip Hop.

Children please..... you need Eric B. & Rakim, The Roots, Jay-Z, and other people like that. Yeah Jay-Z is more g rap now I guess but he has a lot of good hip-hop beats. The problem is that you're listening to the wrong artists. Dizzee Rascal was always a fake and has never been good (he's basically "rap" for scene kids), so don't base your views on the entire genre on him.
