^man thats true.In the future,rap will be full of J-kwon,chingy,and nelly replicas that will destroy the face of rap forever.Pac was the king and without a proper ruler,hiphop cannot evolve.

I Hate Bog Tymers Always Talkin About Cars And Jewelery

Tell me who they are replicas of and i'll take that point seriously

Honestly, I agree with masked, Sometimes You Need songs to just chill bakc to, or to go in the clubs or whatever, No that might not be Hip Hop to everybody, but they are considered Hip Hop, some people are keeping Hip Hop, the real Hip Hop, alive and are still in the mainstream, well that my opinion anyway

Yea. They are called "Club Bangers" Thats ok. The set the mood. But what i am sayin is all this talk about Ice or Hoes....is makin me sick...........

Yeh I spose, it is out there too much, Decree had a good thread on this a while back, but what he said in that doesnt explain for everyone making these songs

Word.

They do sell am not gonna lie about that. "Grinding" was pretty good "Lean Back" also most of the souf music they do Crunk Music club Bangers......they sell like whoa..lol But am old skool used to old lyricism streets. KRS1 Rakim....Wu Tang....u feel me

Yeh I get where your comin from, personally I just listen to most everything, Not a fan of that Crunk shit tho at all, I am feelin Club Bangers like Pump it Up (love that joint) and I listen to a range of artists, some old school, some new, But rappers should rap about what they know and what they feelin tho, not just to sell

But I'v got nothin agenst the occasionall club banger :D

What the hiphop industry is all about now is makin "MORE MONEY" more hits.
No concrete stuff like it used to be. More Artificial Gangsta......They rent everythang hoes/cars/diamonds....etc

Weeerd^^

Hip Hop Should be about what yor feelin, the thoughts going through your head and how you express them into words and get peoples attention, but noo,

Hoes
Ice
Cars
Money

Word.^^

True, but there are people that can do both sides, im'a use banks as an example cos that dude got mad flow n his shit can be tight but then sometimes he jus rap on bout his money n hoes n guns....

but them punches n shit he come out wit are mad funny sometimes, its mostly on the mixtapes n shit that you get the real stuff and not the gangster shit!!

ALSO..... i KNOW that any of you on this site would do as these rappers do to make money like them so dont hate just cos they raking it in!!!


peace...........

Ofcourse i wouldnt mind to make more money. But dont loose focus what am sayin. Talk about somethin u kno not somethin u pretend to know.
