Although, Pac had superior flow to 50 cent, chingy etc.

And chingy deserves executing. He somehow manages to be a terrible rapper and doesn't even write his own lyrics... you think he'd have the brain power to find a decent ghostwriter

A lot of mainstream wouldn't even sell if it wasn't for the beats to the songs.

And I get tired of hearing the same Eminem songs being playe on TV over and over again for several months. Not that I'm saying Eminem is as bad as most mainstream, it's just annoying when I put on a music channel and 'just lose it' is playing for the 89,234,023,234,894,974,823,323,759th time.

This was originally stated by me, months ago...

yea...im really sick of the bullshit that keeps gettin played over and over again on radio and is main stream. the only time i really even turn on my radio anymore is when i go to sleep, so i have something to fall asleep to. other than that, i dont listen to commercial radio...i stick to internet radio that got stuff from the old school, and underground.

That Is Gettin Tirin

50 Was Actin All Gangst Awhen He First Came Out Now He Doin Dumb Shit Now Hes Not That Gangsta He Just Another Rapper Ja Rule Is Blowin Him Out Now

That's not a big accomplishment. I could merk chingy easily...when I was 12.

^ahahahah^ and from what I hear of your audio, its true! ahahahahhahah

.....Answer is NO..

chea i feel the same way about this shit....but you...twista has been holdin it down since the early 90s yo...he aint mainstream like chingy, 50, lil john, and all them others...and yea...talib kwelli is tha shit...he spits some good lyrics on how it is, and he aint afraid to say what other people wont...i like emcees who make music for them and no one else, no ones who rap what they thing people want to hear...nuff said...~1~

there is soooooooo much more to rap than bullshit like "the ice in mah teeth keeps the krystal cold" especiallly when rappers who used to be badass (g-unit,snoop dogg,jay-z) start selling out ONLY TO SELL ALBUMS and it seems that no one but me can actually understand this shit and see these rappers for what they really are-fake ass fat cats. the media promotes this because they don't want street insight in the homes of the suburbs because the want the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer and it seems that no one but me understands that this is a CONSPIRACY and the "ghetto" since these rich ass motherfucking fat cats grabs mics spew out "ghetto glorifying rap" and it disgusts me

dumb thread......freepost

Not dumb thread. Lame ass post^
if you like mainstream, then this thread isnt for you. Got it?!

werrd, but some mainstream is good, you like jadakiss? should check out some of his lyrics, not just judge him cuz he's mainstream... Kiss of Death was dope...

i agree to some extent......

Lol I know that was agreeing with me, but I'm curious, was that also implying that I'm not good? J/w, because I haven't really been taht focused in my recordings recently...

No. I just thought it was funny in that it was so true. Like some unknown guy could take some big selling mainstream rapper. It was just funny to me. Dunno. In no way was I implying that your not good. You ARe good. So yeah.

ehhh....i think mainstream is okay well some of it the stuff like chingy, nelly, murphy lee thats crap but some is good i like T.I., Game, Cassidy but i don't know if you can't count Cassidy or Game cause i like most of their freestyles but okay...

1 word:
Periods

Bank, man....learn to use em. Itll make your posts a little more understandable.

jus so everyone knows....everyone uses gunplay in their rhymes even eminem used it a couple times but people think it is mainstream because rappers arent what rappers were before

mainstream has it's ups and downs but why you put trick daddy out like that dawg

not ALL, but most...i dont think anybody from arrested development ever did

and hip hop was dead compared to the 80s and EARLY 90s

yyea hip hop was raw in those days....especially in the west coast with too short n shit

Its a fucker livin in UK and loving Hip Hop cos we only really get to hear about all the mainstream crap, and that cant be avoided most of the time!

WE got some real hot underground stuff coming thru here tho.

I must say personally i dont mind some of the ones others hate like 50, i think hes ok

Its funny how so many people hate mainstream but so quick bump ya head to something on the radio... i just consider most people who lack enjoyment in mainstream to be utter most hypocrits and untrue to the public and themselves.

^are you saying we're all lying about hating mainstream? If so, you sir, are ignorant.

1.not everythin played on the radio is mainstream
2.watever mainstream that is played that i dont like...i dont bump my head to it...
3.your an idiot

peace

^agrees 100%
He's new, so Ill cut you some slack. Cuz Im new and all. But don't be an idiot, Ill Minded.

I don't hate all mainstream, nor do I listen to the radio.

If they don't enjoy it, how does that make them hypocrites?

im like weedex. u may or may not have heard aussie rap but we got some dope undergrouund shit coming up. i think its going to takeover the commercial US rap in the next few years atleast down here neway. it will be a while before we are played on your radios overseas tho because ozzie hip hop is relatively new and has only sprung up in the last ten years or so.

^that's sounds cool, since Im a big fan of things like English underground rappers, I await the Australian contribution with interest.

/\ /\ /\ Amen to that bro. Can someone let me know of any good Aussie rappers, il try and download it. Could be real interesting.

It is okay and the Underground is okay but most of the good stuff comes from either pre 1997 artist are ones that sound like there from pre 1997.Most of it comes from the semi maintream the underground singles are bad. I have to say go get some old school hip hop that is the best right there
