What has rap music come to these days?

As far as listening to the radio i only listen to a radio station that plays old school rap & hip hop but thats about it.But besides that I bought Cormegas new cd which is better than most rap nowdays.

I miss the older stuff like ScarFace, U.G.K.(older, not that new shit they came out right before Pimp C died), and older OutKast.

Some good ones that arent well known except in the South...

Z-Ro

Trae

Boosie ( hes pretty out there now. You got to listen to his old shit when he was younger)

They are 3 pretty good lyricist.

i am going to pull my two 128cd binders out and throw them in the car and see what it was like to ball around about 10 years ago before ipods and mp3 cd's... which means I'll be banging some Wu Tang and All Eyez On Me and some Mobb Deep //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
hip hop doesnt exist right now, its just waste. fecal matter on the bottom of a bum's shoe. junk.

yeaaa. put on some old Ja Rule, and DMX!!

I heard this song the other day which lyrics said, "let me have you're baby, become a millionaire" and said that over and over for the chorus... absolutely f-cking retarded

Radio = fail

This. I took the antenna off of my car 3+ years and not once have I missed it. Almost all mainstream stuff is crap, cant stand it.

But there's still some really legit stuff out there though:



Listen through both

Cormega - The most slept on artist ever.

Curren$y

Jay Electronica

Drake - I know that will get some hate, but **** it I like him.

Tech N9ne

Joe Budden

Phonte

Slaughterhouse

There's more. I don't listen to the Radio. Real Hip Hop is still being put out.

There is still good hip hop. Unfortunately what is popular is dictated by a demographic of white girls from ages 14-24

Sig worthy, well stated.
