781 - did you pull that avatar off the AW thread? Damn that is one fine ass!!! Any idea who it is? I don’t even care what her face looks like…she could look like Sara Jessica Parker and I’d still be all over that butt.

I completely disagree, and so does the general public.
Yeah but the general public also loved creed and nsync.

Don’t knock Creed. Two very different ball games you’re comparing.

Take the song “I Wonder,” by Kanye, not only is it tough it has a meaning, along with the majority of his other songs. I can’t see someone not likeing Kanye because he’s the “louis vuitton don,” I wish had enough money to hold that title.

i dont listen to gangsta rap babe. i listen to music that i enjoy, i dont listen to it to support some culture that died in 1992.i hate rappers that want to try and sound overly intellectual like christ if i wanted that id buy a histroy book on tape. especially people like the RZA or Gza…whichever one wow that guy is terrible. just because someone makes a nice catchy song or something people call them a sellout. who cares? let them do them. people from this “grand era” of rap where just making party music too, real hip hop music was just party music. and now somehow everyone thinks in order to be hiphop you have to boring as fuck and collect Rakim vinyls. fuck that. if THATS what hip hop has become then fuck hip hop. stop trying so damn hard.

First off what’s this babe shit about? Are you a chick, jw? Second, hip hop is most definitely not dead, if you actually listened to hip hop you would know that. Third, forgive an artist if he sounds like he might have an education. Oops I forgot, you’re not supposed to be able to get an education on the plantation.
I’m going to apologize in advance because I’m coming off sounding like a racist. I mean to; it’s a combative measure for the notion that hip hop artists are just entertainers. They are political activists, writers, entrepreneurs, social commentators, actors, and so on and so forth. Sound pretty intellectual to me.
For instance Mos Def and Talib Kweli aka Black Star–Catchy, rhythmic (rhythm is key), intellectual, fun, deep, socially conscious, real, and marketable.

I’m a little lost here… what’s a backpacker?
I’m gonna second Meangenes. There’s a market of 14 year olds who are a huge fan of music that’s catchy. It’s on their ipod, their ringtone, their t-shirts… it’s great. And then they grow up, and their tastes develop to reflect the complexity about them.
On the other hand, I totally disagree with MeanGenes about Atmosphere and Eminem. Eminem is good, really, really good. But if you’re going to post up the epitome of what white guys can do in Hip-Hop, I’d seriously put Eyedea, Mac Lethal, and Atmosphere up there before him. Their performances (well, guest performances in the last case) at scribble jam are nothing short of incredible.
Eminem was good at scribble jam, and then went to use the same freestyle at the rap olympics. Which is to say, he cheated. Since then he’s been good, and I continue to watch him as an artist because I enjoy his work, but I’m never really wowed by it.

YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
You’re from Massachusetts. What the fuck do you know about hip hop?
On another note. I am a strong believer in that people with some decent understanding as well as a strong moral base have more fun. Concepts such as responsibility and knowing what to do with the power that you have often lead to more responsibility and more fun. In other words… Step your fucking game up.[/quote]
im from Boston you cunt. what i know about hip-hop is pretty apparent by the fact that youve run out of shit to say and have decided to bring up the fact that im from Boston as if it actually would take something away…lol fuck outta here, salam malakem you herb.

a backpacker is pretty much all that shit you listed. atmosphere, eyedea.
i pulled this off of urbandictionary, hope it helps.
“Modernly used derogatory term to describe someone who listens ONLY to Independent rap/hip-hop music, specifically (but not limited to) the nerd-rap sub-genre of the rap/hip-hop music. Most often used in reference to (but not limited by) white sub-urbanite rap/hip-hop music listeners that tend to dislike mainstream rap/hip-hop music, specifically (but not limited to) Gangsta rap.”
tupac- Until the end of time
best rap song…period

Oh, correction. What the fuck do you know about hip hop? You’re from Boston.
You tune in to this mass appeal hip hop bullshit like you know what it’s about or where it’s coming from. Have you ever supermanned a ho? Speaking of mass appeal, even your boy Guru knew Boston wasn’t shit for hip hop; “I’m gonna make it godamnit, out in B-R-O-O-K-lyn the planet” and moved away to New York and started reppin’ NY.
Who else? Uhmm oh, no-one. For 7L & Esoteric I’d advise they move to Cali. Get a fresh start. They can keep their Cali stolen flows and productions (ehem, Dilated Peoples). But something’s gotta give here, a decade plus in the game and ain’t shit happened. Maybe they should just break up, or did they already? Ha.
So, yea… Boston… What the fuck you know about hip hop?
I second ‘What they do’ by the Roots, whoever said that,you know your shit.
Lately I’ve been listening to the Commission Mixtape with Jay-Z and Notorious B.I.G. Really, check that out, it’s unbelievable.
To add to the list: try anything that Pete rock or J Dilla have been involved in,also give Cunnylinguists and Brother Ali a shot.
Here’s a remix of ‘Resurrection’ by Common, I fucking love this

Great find. See that’s what I love about the underground. That remix is more than a decade old and I’m just hearing it now. I’m gonna check the Commision shit out right now.
Second on Dilla and Pete Rock although CunninLynguists never really did it for me. And I’ve tried. They’re just OK to me.
One of Lupe Fiasco’s lesser known.
Meangenes, I know what you mean about the Cunnylinguists, a lot of people I try to put onto them tend not to like them as much as I do, haha. But seeing you were from Jersey reminded me of Joe Buddens, so I wanna throw that one out there too. Specifically ‘Dumb out’.
Scarface - you’re missing out if you don’t hear this dude out. Give this one a listen:

The Resurrection album is a classic IMO.
Kanye’s alright but he’s nothing compared to NO I.D.

7l & Eso are fucking whack as shit. youre gay for living in wherever the hell you live and listening to them. Guru is always repping the Bean what are you on? Dj Primeier does 90% of the tracks for the rappers out here. Guru understands that people have been sleeping on the Bean from day 1. Im not a huge fan of the rappers out here but to say that i dont know hip-hop because of it…well you sir are a fuckin retard.
dont give me this lecture about where hip hop came from brother muhammoud.hip hop is over, no one cares about backpack bullshit. its not coming back, move on. Lil Wayne is running shit right now, and while ive never Superman’d, Soulja Boi > KRS-ONE
Soulja boy is garbage. That’s not even fucking music.
