Well I Never Said Anything Of The Sort..

The Fact That It Has 'Murda Inc' Anywhere On It, Automatically Makes It Wack Though.

stfu u fuckin freak. Sum typez of music wernt made to please anyone. True murda inc on the most aprt is wack but peeps like u cant look at anything that aint on the underground. u think your betta than peeps who like mainstream music coz u in2 a bunch of artists a lot of us never heard of. Rap has never bin wack, saying artists shot themselves in the foot in the 90s fool. your style owes a lot more 2 the 90s than it does to the old skool simplistic flow and fun lyrics. Throw away your copy of Funcrusher Plus and have some fun!

i just think that right now...80 percent of all new shit commin out is str8 recycled garbage...you can call me a backpacker but ill call you a trash picker

Is Rap Currently Whack?

Rap Is Music...Music Comes From The Emcee or Femcee

So Rap Isn't Wack...It's The Particular Artist That's Making It Wack

Rap Is Like A Title That Some People Use...It's Like A Sub-
Category...You Just Can't Judge It By It-Self

So If Rap Is Wack...Then You Mid-As-Well Say Hip-Hop Is Wack
As Well...Diss The Hole Nature Of The Culture

i don't know...whatever

*sorry for the bullshit*

~1~

yes...as far as 2003...rap is horrible...i dont even bother to listen to the Radio nemore...and i havent bought a new cd in months...

i think you got it all wrong. Rap is only going to go up from here although some of the best labels are struggling (so so, no limit) we will still see them come back stronger than ever. Whats ruining rap is this bullshit put out by Dre and Co thats just eaten up by pop culture (everyones on their jock). Murda Inc is also whack but if they can steal Shyne from Badboy they will reastablish themselves as one of the best labels. Bad Boy is going to explode again with up coming releases of Loon and Black Rob. And cash money is still phat, BIRDMAN

^wtf...Spare Me Ur Wak Commercialism... every label u just mentioned is complete ass cheeks...so so and no limit??lmfao..get ur head out of the toilet...

Should i Dick ride the labels that arent signed? whats the fucking point, they dont do anything for rap, all im saying is taht with new signings and new deals rap will get out of the gutter and stop making remixes

i never said anything about peeps who arent signed...

you fuckin kidding me those labels are garbage......birdman?

gimme a break nigga

k its not that rap is whack its just in a phaze ya know.....artists wanna make money thats why they try and blow up soooo its all about club shit right now cuz peeps see it as a way ta make large money...like 50 and ja ya know they make whut listeners want.....see in here we all rap soooo we know whut raps totaly about ....most causual listeners don't know shit bout rap they just listen cuz it sounds "COOL" ya know.....soon enough the "REAL" shit will come back and take out all the "CLUB" shit....thats whut the rap scene is on rigght now club bangers and i agree eSs i havent bought a cd in soooooo long cuz the shit out right now is all club...mobb deep dropped a cd and thats about the only true deep commercial shit i've seen this year....sure theres underground but there underground for a reason cuz the listeners arn't feelin that shit right now ya know....thats why us rap artists here think rap is WHACK

Ha ha ha...backpackers aren't destroying anything. I suppose I am, by you all's stand points, a backpacker. Why? Because I don't listen to that garbage gangsta music and that stupid club shit that I swear decreases my IQ whenever I hear it. Just because I listen to someone that is actually poetical with words and can actually make a song that's worth a damn. I am a backpacker because I listen to artists that inspire and try to raise the level in Hip-Hop, explore new areas, and expand upon the culture. That is what you're definition of a backpacker is: anyone that listens to the different.

But I don't care, I like being a backpacker ( by your definition) and I will continue to love my "backpacking" music. Ah but wait, I listen to Nas, Scarface, Tupac, The Roots, dead prez, Public Enemy, and Run DMC. So I suppose if any of you fools listen to that, join the group, you must be a backpacker. Because how can a backpacker possibly listen to something of the mainstream that is of actual quality? IT'S UNHEARD OF!!!!!! I hope one of you has a seizure and burst a blood vessel thinking about this too hard. "He listens to some of my music, but he is a damned backpacker. Does that make me a backpacker? Ow, my head hurts."

I pick my music well. I have listened to both sides of the world and I must say that the undergound is much better. Of course I hated Aesop Rock when I first heard him. Duh, he was different, but now he is my favorite artist. I gave the underground a chance and now I see that it is far superior to the mainstream drivel that you hear on a typical Def Jam album. I own Jay-Z albums, I own DMX albums, I have Ja Rule's Venni Vetti Vecci, and now all of those albums are tucked away and I'm trying to get rid of them. I don't want them at all. They are garbage.

So don't judge me and blame me for "the down-fall of Hip-Hop," because I am the one who is willing to give that new artist, that unheard artist a chance and listen to him and hear what he has to say. I don't pass anything up. I even gave 50 Cent a listen to, and you know what, his ass is trash. If you don't like it, I don't care. My opinion, my reasons.

And by the way, Hip-Hop is not dying off, and is far from wack. You must listen to everything in order to find out what artists are good and what artists are wack.

For whoever said 2003 sucks Hip-Hop wise, have you heard Sole's "Selling Live Water?"
