Memphis357: Naaaa,son!!! Hip Hop in the 90's was the golden era. That decade produced the albums that change the tide of hip hop. Albums like "The Chronic", "Ready To Die", "Doggystyle", "Illmatic", "A Low End Theory", "Vol.2 Hard Knock Life",etc. Men!!! That was the year!

almaliki: What present Rappers fail 2 realize is dat rap is an artistic combination of beatz rhymes and poetry....early rappers of d 90's did it 4 d love and passion of the art.....but present day rappers do it 4 d money n fame.....all well hiphop/rap music died & got buried a long while ago......though some underground kats stll keep it real......black hippy crew(jay rock,Kendrick lamar, ab-soul & school boy Q) gives me a reason 2 listen 2 present day rap music.....90's rap remains timeless......!...way back in d 90's d competition was stiff....ur game had 2 be really tight in order 2 be relevant...but now...there ain't no competition.......Mc's n fem'c's....had 2 fight 4 their bragging rights....but now it's all bullshit......!.

I still stick my earbuds 2 a few real rap music faithfuls who keep it real underground......

Itcharles: To every artiste,there are" highs and lows" time.once in a while u Will see an artiste u regarded with high esteem producing wack music and u will say,'I thought u wer better than this'....but there are times u will notice even the worst artiste making music whose quality are out of this world.personally I don't av favorite artiste.I listen to all of them.if ur music is good,u will remain in my playlist but if u are bad, sorry u are out.that not withstanding,there are still very good hiphop artiste in our time.guys like jcole,childish gambino, Ryan Leslie,Lupe fiasco,ludacris, drake,BoB,Yelawolf,and my boy TI are still very good.there are times that Rick Ross,lilwayne,French Montana,Nicky minaj,etc still make good hiphop music and I listen to them sometime put them on repeat.my submission is that hiphop is not death but that what the artiste sings is what the generation whats.#justcantstopplayinghiphop.

decepticos: "hip-hop is dead"-Nas
"hip-hop lives" - KRS-ONE.
Constant arguements will persist as to the way present day hiphop is perceived. A good friend of the B.I.G once said "listening to greats like Rakim, KRS ONE, Slick rick, and kool g rap, one feels like he wete in grad school, but today's rap felt too elementary"- R.A the Rugged man, well its true, exclude a few of todays rappers like kendrick lamar as a lot have mentioned it then becomes hard for someone like me to listen to songs from new cats. I still and keep searching for old and new works from the likes of;
The Wu tang clan
Common
Big daddy kane
Kool G Rap
Pharoahe Monch
Yasin bey aka Mosdef
Rakim
Guru of Gangstarr
Tech n9ne
Talib kweli and much more,
its at times disheartening that those of us who do not like Rick Ross' rather irrelevant style of hiphop are called haters, and how ppl who would love nothing but to slap Drake if not for anything at all but for taking a jab at Common, who single handedly made Ice cube surrender. hiphop accordind to KRS isnt just d music though but street everything from slang to business. I stick with older heads and whenever a new song piques my interest like Traum diggs 5th avenue flow, and Tito Lopez's the blues i pick em up.

druid06: Nas, the only dude that never went commercial and still keeping it real. Snoop dog/lion or whatever he's called now went commercial. Heck, the dude is about to release his own raggae album ( I think he's going through some midlife crisis..lol.. )... Fity followed the bliss and the fame then got covered by it all. Eminem is still keeping it real but also gone commercial. I never really liked Jay-Z kind of music apart from Death of Autotune and Blue-Magic, he's always talking about the money and fame. Kanye west is an arrogant fool, I hate that bastard with every inch of my being. RickRoss was original when he first came out but now every word that spews from his mouth is trash. The nigga is always like '' I got 12 lambogini's and shi-t''.. True story is that the dude is broke as f-uck... Rakim, king of rap, was even better than biggie and pac.

dczieta: Problems of todays Rap

oh i nearly forgot OLA"freaking"MIDE

njokusboy: I'd listen to every shit dat the white dude spews (eminem), dat guy is a freak, talk about unadulterated lyrics, straight from the heart, dat dude is passionate.

"Maybe its hatred I spew, maybe its food for the spirit, maybe its beautiful music nd made for u to cherish but am debated,disputed hated nd viewed in america as a motherfucking drug addict "

Listen to renegade ft jay z, d dude killed it

ba7man: Personally, I prefered J.cole's mix-tapes. He was all out in them but had to dumb down his lyrics and word play for his album for commercial appeal. He fell of my rader for a while.....Until i heard some of his new Sh*t....That dude never left, you gotta find him where he is.

goldfish80: I don't get you,ure saying Joey crack, Redman,Master P aint do.pe Mcs? Youre kidding right?
Bro,you can't talk about Hip hop and fail to mention Joey,bringing folks likeBig pun,Tony sunshine, Armagedon(later turned to Terror squad), Remy Martins, Even Dj khaleed of now to limelight...you gotto respect the dude.
As a lyricst,he practically ran 50 outta town with the fofo track! Come on!

Talking about Kanye, I laff when people say he's wack! Lool... Kanye is the most successful hip hop artist dead or alive. The dude has had 370 nomination and won 112 awards 21 grammys inclusive. Now why can't you guys take him serious? Listen to Mercy/Diamonds remix, υ will come to appreciate Kanye. And mind you, 80% of all JayZ's monster tracks, Kanye produced them all!!!!

firetrap: bros I didn't even see ur post before I mentioned Joey badass. u sabi ur music abeg. of all the members of slaughter house the best two hands down are Joe budden and Royce da 5'9. blind fury has been doing his thing since the early 2000s but won't ever see the light of day (pun intended) cos he's blind and not marketable. I've only ever heard a few songs from childish gambino but I must confess that though they were good, I wasn't trilled

goldfish80: Seriously Hip hop has gone to the dogs, in opinion hip hop is at an all time low. I remember τђΞ dayz of great Mcs like:
Pac
BIG
Bun B
Fat Joe(joe Crack)
Eminem(at his prime)
NAS(even Jigga admits he's up there)
Naughty by Nature
Red man
Erik simon
Ice cube
Big L
Jigga(black album)
Mack 10
Master P
Trick Daddy
Kanye(1st,2nd Albums)
Its just α joke people rate 2chainz,Drake, etc as Rappers. Smh
The Rap I grew up listening to was that of street hustling,fight against Rasicm,fight against black on black crime.. Its a pity that genre of hip hop has gone,I advice y'll guard closely all your old records

Odinaka00: Dudu not all are wack like yu said, ther re some good rappers in this generation, go and listen to J cole's lost ones bro, that's wat I call rap, as a matter of fact dats wat I call hip hop............what about Jay Electronica? What happens to Lupe Fiasco?
Ther re so many of em dat I can't just begin to mention their names

firetrap: Kendrick Lamar is definitely one hell of an artist to watch out for so also is a kid from new York called Joey badass. the boy spits straight fire. other artists to look out for are hit boy and to an extent macklemore

coolsegun: 'Touch not my anointed', please leave everything to God. As for me, no comment. I'm out of here

2baga: I comment my reserve.

Phillfree: Apostle Paul must be watching from heaven with envy remembering all those miles he clocked on foot.

ItsModella: wow, I couldn't see the mistress' face properly because of her veil but now that I see it, I have to admit it, she is ugly as f*ck. Kai, how can somebody be this ugly?

Ogbeche77: it so obvious a goat pee on your head when you were a baby, your level of stupidity amaze me..
Every info you need is on the internet, run back to the cafe

stankezzy: i do nt know why we christians allow unbelivers to be messibg us up .
DO U KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST FOR A SINGLE SUECIDE ATTACK BY A TERRORIST.THE MUSLEM CLERICS ARE USEING THEIR MONY TO SPONSOR ATTACKS ND CHRISTIAN LEADERS ARE USEING THEIR MONEY FOR JETS .WHICH ONE IS BETTER.do u know how much ak47 cost,do u know the price of a hand granade.do u know the price of an anti aircraft gun,do u know how much big or medium bomb cost.do u know the amount that is paid to a terrorist nd his familey,do u know the amount that is paid to their informants nd our security so that they do nt disturb them.the money u muslem spend in one suecide attack is far greater than that used for private jets so,u muslems stop deciecing ur self.

Ibukune: Am not a good bible reader, but d last time I did I cud remember Jesus sent his disciples to get d donkey which he didn't keep there and if any man ask, tell him d Lord needed it, it means someone else owns it, which no man has ever ridden, meanin it is a brand new, am sure there were other used donkey but he never asked for it!men of God deserves d best things.
