Yeah, there are plenty of those types around. There are also legitimately talented rappers with enough artistic integrity to set themselves apart from the rest of the "Bitches, cars, and money" mainstream shit.

Yeah but if you notice... those guys never last. They'll have fame for maybe a year. MAYBE. Then they fall off and nobody remembers them because they are just like 90% of the other mainstream rappers out there, and will be quickly replaced. You have to be different and seperate yourself from the rest.

The only rappers who stay hot for 5+ years are the reall MC's. And they are all storytelling rappers

I'm sorry....but your type of beats is one of the things that is ruining the rap game.

I wouldn't go as far as saying ruining the rap game. Time causes things to evolve, it's just a different form of rap. If you thought it was going to sound like the early 90's rap forever than you really don't know music.

I can agree with most of ur list but Roxanne shante?? The only reason anyone knows that bitch is cuz she came out with a dis record to gain publicity. She did the ultimate easy way out amongst rappers which is to dis whoever's big at the time just to gain some some popularity.
 
The UK scene is killing it right now, returning to the old-school ways, the ways of real soul and instrumentation. Music made by PEOPLE not CORPORATIONS that shove shallow materialist propaganda down peoples throats and they sit there and beg for it while their rancid cum drips down their windpipes and slowly dissolves their collective organs til theres nothing left but a half acid eaten carcass getting picked clean by the pathetic buzzards and vultures who control the mainstream rap industry. FUCK ALL THAT SHIT. Peep the realness.

alrighty then . . .




the only UK rappers I've heard of is Earthling and I really dig their style. However, please don't link me to anymore UK stuff. I'm being serious. Canada has a better underground scene anyway. ;)

 
Lotta hate for mainstream hip hop but I dunno why. Drake has good lyrics, a fast-paced flow, witty punchlines and most importantly raps about his life instead of trying to be someone he's not. I'll admit I wasn't sure what to think of him after Thank Me Later (was a good collection of songs but not a good album if that makes sense) but he made a classic with Take Care and earned my respect. This past two year run he's had has been fucking amazing and if you love hip-hop and R&B you should be able to appreciate that.

Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, ASAP Rocky are all hot too and make good songs, not just good verses. Out of all those ASAP is probably my favorite just because he's so different. I liked K Dot and J. Cole right away because they're pretty straightforward: good lyrics, good beats, good songs and anyone who likes 90s hip-hop will love them. ASAP though took me a while to really wrap my head around his style. I didn't get why this guy was calling himself the pretty motherfucker and rapping about fashion over old-school UGK beats when he's from Harlem but after I listened to a bunch of his songs it just clicked and now I bump that shit all day.

As far as rappers who I like to just spit a 16 but don't really need to hear a whole song from, I like Danny Brown, Yelawolf, Action Bronson, Big KRIT and ScHoolboy Q. Q actually makes some pretty good songs so it's probably not fair to put him here but I don't think he's on the level of ASAP/Cole/KDot yet either.

Edit: Forgot to mention Childish Gambino. I'd put him on the same level as Rocky and Cole. He doesn't have a major label album yet but if he ever puts one out he's gonna be a superstar. Til then, he's the mixtape king.

That picture proves my point. He's been playing the sensitive basketball player/rapper since he was 14 years old. Also, he's wearing a Luniz "I Got Five On It" t-shirt.
