Do we need yet more evidence to prove the entire rap game is simply an elaborate predictive program to induce mass arrested development in its followers and generate profits for the private prison biz?
Lets see-relentlessly pushing childlike loss of impulse control;womanish displays of consumption;and rampant faggotry (you do know over 50% of these dudes are homo?) and glorification of every negativity known to man.
Every time I see Fake I see his better looking cousin Ross from Friends.

Drake has a witty flow. People just hate him cause they ain't him. And when you make 500,000 for one show, 50k really doesn't matter. Whether you write it off or not.

While I agree Hopkins is the man, no one outside of boxing really cares G.[/quote]

And no one outside of fans of gay music cares about Drake Midnite.

What's your point?


Good point. I have no point really. Was in a weird mood when I wrote that. I grew up on Dmx, Wu tang, nas, mobb deep, rakim, redman, etc. my best friend is a hip hop and r and b producer and he says, "it's not that I don't like drake, he's good, its just that its not hip hop. It's not what I know. It's a true sign that hip hop really is dead."

He's also 35. I'm in my 20's still.

I am impartial to drake but if he comes on in the club or lounge and girls are feeling the song I'm not just gonna turn cold and be like, "nah I ain't with this Drake shit." Haha. I like some of drakes lines and I'm not afraid to admit it.

I feel where you are coming from though G.

It's a new era.

[Samseau]

Personally, I don't hate Drake, and while his music has rap elements in it, I don't consider it rap.

It's sorta like the difference between 80's Punk and 90's Grunge. Lots of overlap between Punk and Grunge, but very distinct styles. Drake uses lots of regular singing and autotune mixed in with some rap.

What to call it? New Wave Rap? Hip Pop?

[MidniteSpecial]

For my boy G manifesto. More reasons to think drake is gay. Haha.

I grew up with mostly black people and I'm white so I guess I can relate with drake in that aspect. Seems like a lot his friends were white boys growin up.

One week ban for IVth

[MidniteSpecial]

The last hip hop album I bought was Kendrick Lamar. I can't even tell you what the last one before that was. Maybe some jay electronica singles on iTunes. Those are two artists I can fuck with.

Might be a bit off topic. Fredo Starr from Onyx was talking about his meeting with Tupac and Suge Knight. I love the way this dude can tell a story. He had a series I liked called "Tales from the industry" where he's just giving real talk about crazy shit that went down in the hip hop scene:

Here's he's talking about meeting up with B.I.G. right before he was shot:

[Kingsley Davis]

Real Drake fans stand up and catch a beat down.

[Screwston]

People on the internet are weird about hip hop and rap music, whatever the difference is. They get all emotional like it's their dad in the studio. By far, the stupidest fans of any genre. I've never met a rock fan having a heart attack over Limp Bizkit or a lame, indie hipster band.

Good rap or hip hop is still out there. I've always said fuck the radio and mainstream, but I got lucky and grew up in a city with probably the biggest underground scene in the country. I never really paid attention to shit on tv and radio.

I think they are even worse.

And yeah, Limp Dipstick was the gayest band of all time.

I agree, there is some good stuff still out there, but speaking of Houston, Houston, listen to that track you posted, then listen to these:

That track you posted doesn't compare.

The 80's and 90's hip hop was on such another level. Album after album was sick.

Going back to Drake, he wouldn't even have been a top 500 rapper in the Wu-Tang collective back in 1995.

Hell, he probably would have gotten stomped in the Stapleton Projects.

[UrbanNerd]

Drake is a product of today's times where guys are allowed to be more emotional.

No, it's not for me but with the amount of guys from single-mom households and the social conditioning going on...Drake is more acceptable for this day and age than the 90's.

[Screwston]

K Rino has been rapping since before Scarface and Geto Boys came around, he's not new. I don't think any rappers use that old school formula like in those Geto Boys videos. Scarface doesn't even use that style anymore because it died a long time ago. Ya boy even featured him on this song from a couple years ago.

But yeah, Drake sucks. I don't really think anyone who's jamming hardcore, ghetto rap listens to him though.

[UrbanNerd]

I also like K-Otix from Houston, TX.

I don't get how people like the genre so much.

Guys like JZ sing about how they fly around the world in a private jets,how they are so much richer then us,how they are fucking models and the rest of aren't, and people lap it up and sing along. However imagine if you met someone in a bar who talked down to you like that and told you he was richer and better with women than you,that he wore more expensive labels than you. You'd think who is this prick? But put a back beat to it and a heavy baseline and people are like oh yeah Drake is awesome,he drops 50K in a club! Nah I will seek my heroes elsewhere.

I get your point 100%.


Still Jay-z is the wrong guy to single out for this. His album's topics are actually varied and introspective, but someone who only listens to top 40 radio hip hop can easily get that impression from the genre.

Jay-z stands out because he has even managed to drop intelligent rap within the confines of radio friendly music, most of his biggest hits like Hard knock life, Empire State of Mind, 99 problems have nothing to do with bling-bling flossing. That side of rap is all over mainstream southern hiphop which I generally don't care for.

[UrbanNerd]

First things first....

You are not supposed to take most rap lyrics to heart. Many times, the lyrics are to said to see "how slick can the rhymes be". They don't have to be true. Dudes talking about they will get their glock and shoot you but NewsWeek just reported their net worth at $20 million. Now you know damn well ain't nobody with $20 million is gonna shoot anyone. They are not giving up that house in the 'burbs.

True.

Here is the thing most people don't get about Hip-Hop: it is positive visualization.

You rap about making millions and it becomes a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.

You rap about material wealth and it comes true.

Anyone who was born without, thinks like this.

That is one of the many reasons, why Hip-Hop and Reggae have always spoken to me.

Although I really like other aspects of Hip-Hop like Graffiti and B-boying sometimes more than rapping.

Heres Chris Rock talking about todays rap vs. rap in the late 80s and 90s.

my man Bernard Hopkins.

Oldest man in recorded boxing history to win a recognized world boxing championship with a clean win over Tavoris Cloud.

Just watched this fight last night.

Honestly, this fight changed my life. This man is 48 years old and he is beating up guys half his age!!! I am inspired to take my college day game to a higher level. I am inspired to continue banging college girls into my 40's and 50's.

Guy will say it can't be done. They will say I am being unrealistic. I don't care.

If a 48 year old man can be the middleweight champion of the world, then I can bang college girls for another few decades.

I day game with the fighting spirit of Bernard Hopkins.

One of the greatest champions of all time.

His head movement, footwork, pivoting, defense, shoulder adjustments, side steps, fainting, feigning, short punches, etc. were the work of a master.

Like Jim Lampley said -- "it was a technicians technical fight".

Maybe the most technically perfect fight I have ever seen.

He landed 41% of his punches!!! Defense was immaculate.

"tip the hat, short Joe Lewis, wipe his nose with the left hook" - Nazeem Richardson.

Old school boxing at its finest.

This fight changed my life.

If you watch that video with the volume turned down Pac comes off as hella gay. I'm not saying he was, but it definitely makes you question how it could've gone from soft like this to one of the most prominent gangsta rappers of all time in just a couple years.

Rappers can't have a soft side. Everyone has a sensitive side. (except socio/psychopaths)

Most gangster rappers are just actors anyways. It's all entertainment.

Also, most gangsters are actually quite sensitive. They have had tough lives, they have seen the worst parts of humanity, they have been hurt, they need love.

Have you ever talked to guys in prison or guys who just came home from prison. They cry, they hurt, they feel pain.

They have a soft side, we all do.

One thing I learned is this...

Killers don't look like killers. The nicest , most friendly guy in the world could be the one who slits your throat. You never know who you are talking too. Guys kiss their grandma and their kids and then go out and smash heads.

Look at Mike Tyson, quick to cry, quick to show emotion. He used to cry before all his fights because he was afraid of the violence that was coming. When the bell rang, he turned into a murderer.

In the hood, their are gay dudes that will flirt with you, if you disrespect them, they will stab you.

Don't judge a book by its cover.
