Some people listen to pac, some people hear him.

Pretty much agree with you there, I'm not gonna pretend I know about underground hip hop theres a lot of stuff I've heard and loved but most mainstream rap nowadays doesn't grab me like it did in the 90's and I really hate all these Tupac records that have come out after he died, they're not very good which is why he didn't release them.

50 Cent does talk a lot of shit, but so does Kanye. At the MTV Awards he apparently went off on one shouting "That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance" after Justin "Micheal Jackson Wannabe" Jackson beat him.

The Daft Punk one's grown on me, I still sing to the backing bit but I kinda like the song.

But they played another one of Kanye's new tracks on Radio One this afternoon, dear god I hated it!

I have no idea what it was, but if I've gotta listen to that 3 times a day for the next 3 weeks I'm going to cry

(Edit: it's called "Homecoming", the radio show's online in this stream at 02hrs 15mins/ or 2.20mins if you don't mind missing the beginning)

eh? I quite like homecoming, more than I should considering it's just recycled lyrics from his first album (I think) and even then it was one of his weaker songs..

But that's kinda kanye's style/plague... I love the beat and chorus in homecoming.. but hearing the same lyrics again just makes it impossible to treat it like a new song... if he gave that beat to mos def; it could've been amazing

doesn't matter if I'm sick of 50 cent or not, I'm sure I don't own anything that he has sold in stores. I pirated one of his albums, it was ok and all but I'm really not into rap so I only listened to it maybe 2 or 3 times then it got shuffled somewhere on my computer.

Anyway only way people know whether or not you like someone is if you buy their album or their merchandise. Otherwise if you don't like em just don't buy their stuff. You can listen to it, but that doesn't mean you are contributing to them at all.

Even though i personally dont like 50 or kanye. Get rich or die trying was a great album but curtis on the other hand sucks compared to Graduation

jaxxster · Sep 11, 2007

Kanye may have the better tunes and be less of a prick out the 2 but Kanye isnt much of a musician. He takes other musicians beats and slightly mixes them up and raps about the same stuff constantly. I admit i like kaynes beats n think they're amazing but he's not great at making music.

RayorDragonFall · Sep 11, 2007

Honestly, I'd take 90s rap over the present stuff ANY day, with the exception of a few songs, but seriously... 50 cent? Kanye West? More like 2pac, a little fugees, mos def, talib kweli are the real deal. Heck even the fresh prince talks about more different stuff than 50 or Kanye XD.

Nickel · Sep 11, 2007

Wow, I'm surprised so many people like hip-hop on this forum and I thought I was the only one...

Anyway, as the greatest rapper of all times who died on March 9 said: "Biggie Smalls is the illest."

Nickel · Sep 11, 2007

Does anyone know how the sales of Kanye and Fiddy's albums went today? Do we have a winner/loser yet?

.TakaM · Sep 11, 2007

I probably wouldn't make a new topic just for a song, but since this topic has become more of a general rap discussion topic..

Lupe Fiasco - Superstar:

Lupe is the god damn man.
the only annoying thing is he isn't going to change anything like he should

Kayne West after losing at the VMA's i think.I didnt bother watching it.

Warning!Alot of cussing from a black man.

Yeah kanye is up himself just as much

Kanye's winning by a lot in the midweek sales apparently, set to make #1. 50 is so far said to be #3. US charts Kanye is set to make #2 and 50 again #3. Country bloke Kenny Chesney is whipping both of there arses.

T-hug · Sep 12, 2007

Hopefully fiddy will stick to what he said and quit releasing music LOL
The word J'PWND© comes to mind.

EarthBound · Sep 14, 2007

50 is down 180.000-200.000 albums

I knew I shoulda shot that fucker 10 times

Man, the little shit got shot three times, in the arm, the leg and the (non-anal) cheek. He was fired at 9 times. The shooter was probably just as big a spastic idiot as him.

mo rap died when pac did. I have over 180 directorys of pac music and rarely listen to any new stuff, only person I know with more than me is stryk. The songs hold up today and given the chance I'd take pac over any other rapper anytime. All this new stuff has no heart man, very generic, especially fiddy's crap.

There's this one rapper you'd definitely get into if you like pac. Yeah, I hear it's this underground rapper from Harlem. I don't quite remember his name though. Animal Tactics, Inflamable Plastique, Immobile Stampede, Intolerable Boutique, .. some shit like that. I see he's not been mentioned here...
