Hip-Hop thread discussion

well, you gotta acknowledge that the starving artist role doesn't work forever..the temptation is too great really.

Hey, lupe fiasco is cool.

Hes fresh.

Hes got a nice beat there.

AND MOST IMPORTANT HES NOT BEEN FAKE. HES REAL. HES NOT TALKIN ABOUT GUNS DRUGS OR RAPIN HIS CAT.

General question - If I shot someone, then ****ed a girl I met in a club and smoked a rock then rapped about it.... would you think I was a sellout?

[dropscience]

Not really

Mobb Deep is a sellout becuase they went to Gunit for money, and they abandoned their signature sound and fanbase to do so

Has anyone heard about the rapper Cadence Weapon or something? My friend told me to listen to him and I'm wondering if hes any good. Maybe I should check him out.

Oh ya, Atmosphere is a real good group.

And about Lupe Fiasco's "Kick, Push", its a pretty good song, I like the beat alot, but I don't think its his strongest song lyrically. You can download some of his mixtapes that he released and then you're going to see what hes all about!

"The Doctors Advocate" releasing in November, anyone hear "Wake the Dead" by The Game, I think it's from his upcoming album "The Doctors Advocate" (Y).

Still think Game is one of the best rappers in the industry. However his mixtapes blow alot.

Yea, i like the game too, maybe i biased beacuse he recently claimed in interview with westwood that he was 1/4 irish.

proof that Nas is one of the best ever. period.

I've been going through all his videos and I am just (re-)amazed by him.

Great old school freestyling:

The world of hiphop is quiet at the moment....

^^ yeah the freakin South has taken over :no: ...

I agree with Tru Life "I need New York to be New York again..." all the crap coming out of NYC lately sounds like the crap coming out of the South. It's pretty sad.
