Is There Any Real Hip-Hop Left?

[Houssem Uchiha]

Eminem's the best rapper some of his songs might be about "how shitty his life is" but his newer sngs and some real oldies are really epic

What lil wayne is awesome because he has been in the rapping industry since 2000 and Tyga just swears and talks about his **** all the time and how girls should ride on it. Nicki Minaj sings like she is british and she still sings shit.
Example:

Go to 2:40 where Nicki sings. British right? And she is American..

Though the real Hip Hop left years ago but as long as the world is keeps going things will always keep changing.

I like eminem don't get me wrong, but I just get tired that most of his songs are about how shitty his life is and how ****ed up he is. Y'know? It gets tiring. I'm not saying all the other rappers rap about better things, but still..

Weeell..., when you look at it from this perspective, he only has 6 major label albums. SSLP was the big one regarding drugs and the subjects you mentioned. MMLP was mostly that, but also about him dealing with his fame, as well as an increase of homophobic and misogynistic lyrics (neither of which he is). TES basically scrapped drugs, and now he's talking about how nothing affects him and how he affects others and that he'll never stop rapping. I hardly even recognize Encore and Relapse (drugs, drugs, drugs,...). And Recovery was all about "I'm Back" and "I'm the Best". But hey, at least never ONCE mentioned being loaded.

yeh there's no more meaning in music these days, all they talk about is clubs, drugs, girls and drinking. pretty much sums it up in my opinion

No, that's just pop rap (yes, POP rap. REAL rap isn't about any of this $#!+.). Personally, I listen to both ends of the spectrum, with a little in between (meaning hip-hop/hardcore rap & metal/metalcore). And you'd be surprised that some of the most beautiful songs in the world and considered Satanic just because it has screams. Older or more classic rap is the same way. This pop crap that talks about nothing but hoes, money, and guns that they don't even have has given the true MCs bad names.

I am glad you mentioned Tech, man. He's got to be the only MC I have EVER listened to that's more lyrically brilliant than Em. Maybe not as clever as him, but his complexity is nearly outmatched. And Worldwide Choppers is the PERFECT example of that. +rep for just realizing that, man.

 

[karol the don]

Only tech n9ne krayzie bone and ice cube are the real ballers

J cole and wale are great, im still iffy on lupe.

Iffy on Lupe? :O My friend go listen to Food and Liquor. Lyricism at its finest.

 

[lswhyte123]

This is an amazing song and has a strong point to it. BUT it contains strong Language and can be disturbing to some younger people-warned.
