i love rap music... specifically tupac... he speaks to everyone through his music... he knows whats going on and is knowledgeable... this is what our/my generation lacks... someone of influence who can stand up for them and feels the same way as them... someone who they can relate to... since hiphop turned to money and bitches we have no role models... tupac... we need u back homie... i shed tears for you...one love... its just me against the world... thug life...
Rap music might have gone down the inspirational shithole in the last several years but metal has grown better than ever, you cant turn around without seeing a metal band with a positive message, Rob Flynn from Machine Head is a great example

-My Position on Black Metal: "So you know those annoying kids you see running around listening to crap radio rock bands wearing tripp jeans and shopping at hot topic? Well, Black Metal is just the next big thing... have fun with your trends, I'm gonna stay metal"
and so on, he's a great lyricist. But to say it has all gone to shit? i think not.
you still got common, kanya west, the game, ice cube (yea he has good songs with positive lyricks) and Nas..
thats just on top of my head.

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.

ok common is ok but hes switched.. its moer about money with him now... kanye west is fuckin garbage sayin stupid shit on tv and lyrically he is shit... the game possibly my favorite rapper ALIVE but tupac favorite of all time ice cube has gone soft... back in the nwa and predator album days he was street worthy and shit i like nas but the problem is he flip flops alot... but lyrically there are few better... i like lupe fiasco because hes funky and is actually saying something...outkast is good but they havent put out an album in a while... and most of all... i hate fuckin lil wayne... steals otehr rappers lyrics (jayz, biggie, nas, tupac, jam master jay, ll cool jay, ice cube, nwa, the game) fuckin swaggger jacker doesnt even deserve thsi shit... he should go back to selling crack because his garbage music is worse then soulja boy... leme explain why i think this... because lil wayne is making music off of bullshit and others lyrics... at least soulja boy is aimed at younger kids (with the dance and shit) i mean like yea alot of older people have listened to the song but the dance was definately aimed at kids... hurricane chris ayy bayy bayy shows how far hip hop has fallen when that shit makes the top 40...basically now adays to find good rap u gotta go way back or u gotta go underground... talib kweli, immortal technique, eyedea and abilities, the crest etc etc etc

no it hasnt, the good are still good and there is new good too, all you hear though is the bad. All the underground stuff these days is revolutionary, the underground scene is pure fire.
like gamma said, theres the hottest shit eva like immortal technique, some sick beat makers like sound scientists
some other hott underground guys like finale, abu nurah and others
screw the mainstream, that has no bearing on hip hop to me

The only thing I know of him is that he stirred some shit up with his girlfriends sister. Called her out because of her mixed heritage, like Russian-Polish/African.
That's about it... Somewhat contradictory to your original post.
I hear Kanye West is a tool also. Like he went all ape shit because Chris Brown got all the attention at some backstage party.
underground hip hop sucks. immortal tech and talib are mainstream. just like a tribe called quest, also great.
crap stays underground for a reason, all artists want to make money, no one does it for 'fun', just some are better than others
lil' wayne rips it on mixtapes and freestyle, kanye is lyrical gold even though his head/ego is bigger than the moon, common is boring as hell, lupe is creative, 3 6 has byfare some of the best beats, jay z and nas are still great, t.i. is unbelievable lyricist, all thats better than what i got in the UK, dizzy rascal blows too much...

don't so much agree, Lil Wayne, imo is overrated, you cant understand what he says half the time, and when he freestyles he's never on topic, he's just about everywhere.
agreed on kanye
common is not boring, take some time out and listen to lyricks.
agreed on lupe

immortal tech and kweli are like the mainstreams bastard children... mainstream doesnt want them adn the underground doesnt want them either... i consider them underground because 3/4 of the population wouldnt know talib kweli if they heard him or saw him same with immortal tech... lil wayne is such garbage lyrically nothing about his lyrics is inspriing or good hes jsut biting of pac and biggie... kanyes lyrics are trash too... just random bullshit that he thinks sounds good then puts them in a song and makes millions because the average person who listens to hip hop doesnt know what good hiphop is... 3 6 mafia is fuckiin trash they dont even deserve to be a group with their dope boyy dope boy fresh shit... nas is good ti is ok and jayz is played out he needs to stop... yet i hear hes coming out with the blueprint threee... i bought reasonable doubt... only jayz music u actually need... after that its just about money bitches money spliffs money his life money...

I am amazed at the people that say Wayne has these incredible talents...ok...he can say two words that sound the same..but they never make much sense really....nothing special about him to me.
