Yo! spark!

Yo as we all know hip-hip is die-ing like a "bitch" forreals.
Really i just wanna know what yall feel.. Here's a list of
Hip Hoppers and Hip-Poppers.. tell me which side you go for!


Hip Hop-(ill rappers, semi beats)
Canibus
Juice
Last Emporer
Benefit
Wu tang
Chino XL



Hip- Pop- (commercial rappers, ill beats)
Eminem(he went pop, i don't care what none of yall say)
50 Cent
Ja Rule
E-40
Nelly
Busta Rhymes(he went fukkin pop too) forreals not like he use to


Who would you go for if it came down to it? Hip Pop? or Hip Hop? Real!

good question i guess

But not all underground rappers have horrible beats

Necro, Eastern Confrence, a bunch really

I can't pick a side per_say...I like both

blah whatever

It's all Hip-Hop whether you like it or not, so get over it. There is good Hip-Hop and bad Hip-Hop. Trying to classify Hip-Hop into subgenres like Hip-Pop is stupid and pointless. It's all Hip-Hop, you just have to separate the good from the bad.

as with any music artists can sell out. eminem, nelly, ja rule, cam'ron and busta are all examples. but who cares bout the artist really? when it comes down to it, the flow and beat is what matters

**pulls out a sieve and begins shifting through the crap**

i reckon theres gold about these parts if ye look close enough!

seriously though, some underground rappers suck, some pop rappers are ill, dont assume just because they sell records they're automatically wack.

* As the brains continue to steam*

Yo I don't know why your brains are steamin' but the question
was simply stated whether or not you believe it's all "HIP-HOP"
(Which is bullshit). What side would you go for. Basically i wanna
know how many 'heads' in RB would go for the POP side or for
the HOP side... it's not a hard task to follow...

ROFL@ Benefit under semi beats.. same with Last Emporer, Wu Tang, And Chino XL..

all have dope beats... :-\

Rap isn't dying. Just the shit your listening to is.

Canibus - Ever heard "get off your knee's"? ...just to name one. (Oh, and by the way, Can's isn't really that underground anymore. A lot of people know about him.

Juice - His beats are bad? *confused*

Wu tang - You have got to be kidding me. Wu has great beats.
Chino XL - Again, he's got good beats.

Ja Rule - Ill beats? Riiiiight...


RDJ2. Copywrite. Cage. Eon. Smut Peddlers. Aesop Rock. Kool G Rap. Fuck so many people with good beats. your just not listening to them...

And Wu isn't underground.
