Unless 3 note repetitive hooks dissapoint you then I would suggest updating your tupac, and Rakim collections to their rightful dumpster.Stick w/ the old school and you'll never be disappointed.
He dissed Nas saying he killed hip-hop rofl.....I don't even know who that idiot is.

I'm disappointed in myself for forgetting Gangstarr!!! Pete Rock & CL Smooth are sick as well. Good additions!Add to that list:
Gangstarr
Pete Rock & CL Smooth
Freddie Foxx
MC Lyte
Shadez of Brooklyn
Dj Premiere
Tupac has always been in a dumpster for me. Please realize that Tupac was never considered hip-hop (unless you take into consideration his brief stint in Digital Underground), at least hip-hop in its true form. Also, if you feel that Rakim and anyone else on that tiny list belongs in a dumpster, then you are one of the unfortunatel fools that I alluded to in my first post.Unless 3 note repetitive hooks dissapoint you then I would suggest updating your tupac, and Rakim collections to their rightful dumpster.
"hip-hop" today has nothing to do with what we called hip-hop in the early 90's, its an overpopulated market driven by money. I have to admit though, its alot easier on the ears than the early 90s junk.
Doug E. FreshOur list is by all means not complete thats for sure

THose just came to mind. I wish that type of music was playing loud and proud..
Keep em coming BurghHardcore

Nicely done w/ The Artifacts and TLUG. And you're exactly right w/ your post. It's still there, just gotta dig for it, b/c it's not going to come to you lol.The Lords of the Underground
The Artifacts
Abstract Rude
Souls of Mischief
Hieroglyphics, etc.,
There is hip-hop existent today that largely pays homage to the methods, techniques, and themes of this type of hip-hop - you just have to look for it. It is no longer "mainstream" and/or the 'dominant' form of hip-hop though.
Most of the stuff I gravitate toward stems from the mid-west: Ohio, Minnesota and Illinois. Rhymesayers, my favorite current label, has a wide-range of talent from these areas including the Micranots [founders], Atmosphere [founders], Eyedea and Abilities, Brother Ali, Blueprint and so on. There is very nice stuff coming out of Chicago including a cat named, "Diverse" who is absolutely amazing. Brooklyn/N.Y., is also making a comeback with quality hip-hop, w/ a few sick artists on Def Jux.Nicely done w/ The Artifacts and TLUG. And you're exactly right w/ your post.

Rap ≠ Hip Hop.When was hip hop alive?? its like one of those bacteria that slowly grew immune to antibiotics... and now its in a super-bacteria form... also known as Rap.
To each their own i guess, same pile for me.Rap ≠ Hip Hop.
Isnt that soulja boy? Irony being that a slang for souldier and the word boy placed beside a kid who is really only a boy.He dissed Nas saying he killed hip-hop rofl.....
Which is a statement I can understand if you are not familiar with the greater sub-culture; however, at least as I see it, there are subtle yet important distinctions between the two. I generally conceptualize "hip-hop" as being a cache of methods, techniques, sounds and lyrical-styling which is a contingent of a larger b-boy movement: something much more intrinsically expressive than, "rap". By and large, I consider "rap" to be commercialized technique over heavy sampling. Once you are acquainted with the historicity and people of these movements, they are as different as night and day.To each their own i guess, same pile for me.
I put them in the same pile, because the music is no good to me. Doesn't motivate me, doesn't interest me. I know they are different, just don't care. The lyrics and the music has no effect on me and I would much rather listen to some Atreyu or Metallica.Which is a statement I can understand if you are not familiar with the greater sub-culture; however, at least as I see it, there are subtle yet important distinctions between the two.

Mullet....only you can put it so eloquently...I have agreed w/ you before, and I will have to agree with you again. I only wish that I could state it as phoeneticlaly gifted as you have. Damn you!!! :afro:Which is a statement I can understand if you are not familiar with the greater sub-culture; however, at least as I see it, there are subtle yet important distinctions between the two.

Just b/c the music means nothing to you, or doesn't interest you, or is "no good" to you, doesn't mean you should lump it all in the same genre. At the root of it all, there truly is a HUGE difference. Just listen. To anyone that is really LISTENING, it's not hard to see the differences. If you don't like it, that's totally fine, I doubt you will find anyone here that is going to argue w/ you against that. To each his own. I'm not hating on your for it. Honestly though, your post really has nothing that contributes to the conversation that is taking place. If you would like to state your personal opinion as to why or why not hip-hop is in it's current state then please continue. I'm sure there are plently of others on this board who have no interest or care in hip-hop at all and have chosen to not comment b/c they see it as irrelevant.I put them in the same pile, because the music is no good to me.

I'm not sure if the OP is from Pittsburgh, but I am. OF COURSE you can add to the list. And, IMO, the Roots are an excellent addition. Keep them coming.is the OP from Pittsburg, and forgot to put the Roots on the list? Is that possible?
Nice running list other than that.
Right on Nemesis. Tribe is GREAT. They are a "go to" for me when I need a little bit of flavor (I know how lame that sounds. Forgive me, Please LOL!)Def. A Tribe called Quest.
Mos Def is really the only "newer" stuff I can listen too,..... Im not really in with the "club-bubblegum" rap that is prevalent now.

I like your list. Few more...I don't even know who that idiot is. Hip-Hop has been "dead" for years. Too many jerk offs running around with chains blingin'...and their teeth...talking about bullsh*t. I can't even stand to listen to it anymore. It's ashame what that music has become....sad really. It angers me to see younger people these days in clubs, on the street...anywhere really, seeing how this crap (along with MANY other factors) has helped turned the youth of this country into f*cking selfish, materialistic, idiotic, and oblivious morons. Seeing this new so-called "hip-hop culture" is one of the reasons I don't go to clubs, I tend to easily get into trouble at those types of places (and no, it has nothing to do w/ alcohol). I could go on and on and on and on about this....but I won't. I will really end up just getting irritated.
I don't even call it Hip-Hop anymore, b/c it's NOT. Stick w/ the old school and you'll never be disappointed.

So I take it you borrow your sister's pants as well? In all seriousness, I like hip-hop and quite a few sub-genres of metal - metalcore especially. (Just not 'punk-core' like Atreyu.) Question, though: if you dislike the genre, why come into a thread attending to it? If you are uninformed on the subject, I would assume nobody in this thread cares about your opinions thereof.I put them in the same pile, because the music is no good to me.

"So I take it you borrow your sister's pants as well? In all seriousness...". Which can be taken to mean, "The thing I just said before was joking, but let's be serious...".Uh? Personal attack over that? really?
Just like you have the option to post, so do i. Don't really care for your opinion of me or my opinions on the genre of music.
Missed that part, I tend to skim through posts to start out like that to see if there is anything of value closer to the bottom. Sorry. I'll go wash the sand out of my vagina now.... :squint:"So I take it you borrow your sister's pants as well? In all seriousness...". Which can be taken to mean, "The thing I just said before was joking, but let's be serious...".
I was joking and you are far too sensitive if you took that to be a, "personal attack".
Make sure you use a sanitary douche! :18:Missed that part, I tend to skim through posts to start out like that to see if there is anything of value closer to the bottom. Sorry. I'll go wash the sand out of my vagina now.... :squint:
Haha When in doubt "Douche it"Make sure you use a sanitary douche! :18:
Definitely just messing around with you. I actually like Atreyu's The Curse.
A lesson can be learned from this situation so we can avoid receiving a burn notice response like the above LOL.So I take it you borrow your sister's pants as well?
