I was told to spread the word so here I am. Some feedback would be nice. I'm terrible at judging what "good" rap music is. I know it varies. I'm usually sold on anything with a good beat .
Preciate it.  |

#2 Posted: 10/17/2011 8:56:50 PM I guess this is technically supposed to go under the hip-hop category. |

That's fair. But what about the lyrics? I mean...it's not like he's trying to be a singer. He's a rapper. Rappers don't really sing. And if they do...you have T-Pain with autotune. |

#14 Posted: 10/19/2011 7:34:39 PM The 8 million views are people who've watched this video which is known, partially because of Akon singing the hook, and decided to check out their other songs.

I think you are confused, Sparky. "Two girls one cup" got millions of views too, but that didn't mean it was good.

Are you kidding me? Rebecca Black got over 100 million views and she's AMAZING. And Justin Bieber got over 500 million. I think my head is on straight.

And there are a lot of people who agree with you. But there are also hundreds of millions of people who love Eminem, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne...just to name a few.

LiL Wayne is a Joke --- Marketed to perfection |

The only difference between old school hip-hop and new school hip-hop is the story-telling.
The lyrics these days are 20,000 steps ahead. Lyracist's are hard to to find. Listen closely, and you'll find 'em.
Those 3 you just mentioned are tops and have been for quite some time.
Producers make the songs these days - back in the day it was the Artists making the songs.
I'll be a fan of rap till I'm dead and gone.  |
