seeing my girl watching mtv today made me realize for the 1000th time that todays "hip hop" (if you can still call it that) is complete and utter crap. soooo i thought why not go back to when hip hop was actually...well, hip hop. so post up songs from a time when hip hop was more than money, hoes, coke, guns and bullshit.

*disclaimer: these are all my copies so to the mods please dont delete as i own them and ripped them

the rap they play on the radio is for the most part...crap. just shit. the other night around 11 pm i heard a new show on the radio playing all the rap songs that dont make rotation..like swollen members, common, jedi mind, immortal tech, blue scholars, dilated peoples..and it was the best. but ya F.U.C.k. yung joc and mims and dj unk and every F UCKING song about a dance. no leaning no rocking no dropping anything no laffy taffy no walking it out...where the real rap go?
