I have been listening to Rap since before my first RUN DMC concert back in the 80's. And have seen many of the great shows, Beasties to Public Enemy. I can't get with the current state of the industry and i am bored and pissed off about it. I refuse to claim this as "culture", and I am washing my hands of it until somebody like Dre' comes out with something that I can bop my head to. Anyway, that's my rant for today.
Yeah, the rap industry has declined. Once Tupac died, the industry died with him. If you want to listen to a cool underground rapper today that is truly hardcore, try Immortal Technique:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA_xXWSXyFI I like a lot of different musical styles, and rap is cool with me as long as it has substance, which most artists today don't have. Immortal Technique actually declined to be signed with Sony because they wanted him to tone down his music. Click on the link above and you'll find out why........this guy is no holds barred. Even if you don't agree with his views, his style if brilliant.
A great quote I think would fit perfect here... "It's better to be pissed off. Then pissed on!" And chillax it's just music ...You can bob your head to anything if ya feel it.
Well..I'm a House Music Junkie first, always have been . I just though that the crap that is out there would subside, and we would get back to some real stuff, but it's getting worse. I have been a fan and supporter since the beginning, but it has lost it's way.
I thought you were gonna say u woke up this morning still pissed. Was gonna shake your hand Ah well, there's always Trance.
Of course. House always lifts you up, and you can't go wrong with good trance and techno. I'm just a little let down with the lack of imagination of the last 3 years of Rap.
The bling, money, and whoes are more important then being creative these days You should listen to some hardcore there lot's of hip hop influence in the music.
Your crazy dude.. Rap is always going to be the music you listen to when your angry. Or when your about to do something very bad.
