I’m 20, I just respect good music. To be honest, Weezy fuckin blows. I hate Lil’ Wayne, his voice and his flow are so annoying. He uses great metaphors and similies but I don’t understand how anyone can stand him outside of his verse in the I’m So Hood Remix.

What’s wrong with Soulja boy? Crank That is the greatest three and a half minute chorus I’ve ever heard.
KRS ONE can suck my dick. He’s got one of, if not the, most powerful voice in hip hop, but I can’t listen to anything he says because it’s so rediculously preachy.
Aesop Rock is the shit.
I’m surprised notbody’s said anything about Rhymesayers label, with Eyedea and Abilities or Atmosphere. Those guys kick ass.
Sunshine, by Lupe Fiasco. Greatest love song ever.
yeah man krs one is sooooooo overrated. and theres nothing wrong with soulja boi dude just makes party music that people want to have fun listening to…whats wrong with having fun? YAH TRICK is an awesome song.
when it comes to love songs i got to R&B no hip-hop song has ever done it for me. Ne-Yo makes some of the best R&B ive heard.
Top 30.
Mos Def
Common
Notorious B.I.G.

Aesop Rock
Dead Prez
Jedi Mind Tricks
The Pharcyde

Atmosphere blows. Jaheim shits on Ne-Yo. KRS’s voice is nothing on U-god. KRS has voice only because he has something to say. Any of that new shit such as Soulja Boy is garbage. 50 cent is over-rated, always has been. Eminem has the best flow of any white rapper out there, he’s almost up there with Jay, Com and Mos and that’s saying a lot since everyone knows white rappers don’t have flow, eg Atmosphere.
Favorite song ever is most definitely The Roots - What They Do.
eminem is overrated as hell too. you seem like a backpacker with that list, im suprised you didnt have Cage up there too haha.
jaheim aint shit compared to Ne-Yo get outta here man

Better yet, John Legend blows both of them out of the water. Quit Ne-yo dick ridin’. You like him for the same reason my little sister does. You think he’s cute.
Backpacker… And? You say that like it’s a bad thing. It’s 2008, backpacker isn’t even a relative term anymore. We carry valuable art portfolios and USB thumbdrives now.

Eazy-E.

I don’t really know why you have fast forwarded 80 years but anyway.
I have evolved with the artists that I listened to in my backpacking days. Those artists that were underground then are now mainstream and commercially successful. It has something to do with progression. Thing is, these artists have kept it real the entire time and allowed for the general public to realize that they are the shit instead of selling out from the get go and coming with that dumb down, Uncle Tom, jig n’ jive, blackface shit.
I could name more than a few artists that do follow that route and it’s digressive to hip hop culture and everything that hip hop represents (ehem, a positive influence in black culture). This is common sense. If a “hip hop” artist doesn’t want to be affiliated with this concept then I would kindly ask them to rename their shit something other then rap or hip hop.
Every hip hop artist isn’t a drug dealer, pimp, murderer or ex-con. Especially not the ones that glorify it.
This is just reiterated straight from that book I keep in my “backpack” as a reminder.
And for your anti-backpack argument. Commerce is not everything, art is about production not commercial value. As for hip hop as a business; conscious hip hop is selling, selling well, always will-- it’s “cool”.
Thanks for your time.
Kweli and Nas.

Whenit comes to music we think alike. I was gunna mention R&B, but you beat me to it. Ne-yo is the absolute shit, listening to him right now, also ginuwine and boys 2 men are good.
