And for those saying we need to get HipHop back...[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]not happening.[/color]
Music is a universal language that people will speak through no matter what color their skin is.
What does need to happen is for people realize that [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]HipHop music has grown beyond the one type of New York sound.[/color]
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Recognizing the many categories of HipHop will clear up a bunch of this "we need the real" talk.[/color]
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Support the artists that you like so that they have the support to keep putting out the music that you like[/color]
and then...

This is realOriginally Posted by seasoned vet
....to add:
...you wanna know how to get that 'real' back? simple. support it. ive seen chicks go out and BUY a cd for ONE song, and bootleg an album they LOVE. makes no business sense at all.
...ive seen females complain about misogynistic and raunchy lyrics in HH, yet are too lazy to seek out the HH that they DO like. with dead serious answers like "no one has time to look for that"
...ive seen males complain about HH not being relevant to them in their 30's with all of the bragging and whatnot, yet when they're introduced to HH that speaks to the current issues of their age they call it corny.

Sell out?Originally Posted by ThrowedInDaGame
More speficially, when did all of these RnB singers sell-out?
Ne-yo, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Usher are these clowns serious. I literally watched 12 videos straight of fist pumping non-sense

I'm just happy the likes of Maxwell and Raphael Saadiq are still alive. I've just about given up on good R&B coming back to the forefront. I've switched gears to folk, alternative rock, and ppl like John Mayer.

^^classic example.
....the question is where are you looking HOVKid?
....and i use the term 'looking' loosely. you may not be actively 'looking', but there are a few places you come by new HH by accident, id like to know where?

For realThat was such a blanket statement.
Heard of those two. I remember the JB3 thread in music, none of his music moved me much. I mess with Yahzarah. Dig a lot of her work with other justus league artists like Phonte but if I remember right she got like one really good album and the rest I've heard from her is on features.Originally Posted by seasoned vet
....have you heard of Jesse Boykins III? how about Algebra? Yazarah?Originally Posted by ATGD7154xBBxMZ

Now if he was talking about mainstream hip hop, I can say he's definitely right. But that's a combination of a fraction
of a # of large corporations controlling a lot of the media, and certain artists themselves putting out low quality here today/gone tomorrow music.
You really can find good hip hop music by accident. One site I used to go to was netweeds.com. They would have a boatload of albums that you wouldn't have known
about unless you meticulously follow the artists, including plenty of release dates, all while having the usual popular artists. So while you may already know what Lil' Wayne,
Eminem, Jay-Z albums are coming out, they would also have artists like Random Axe, Slain, AP9, K-Rino and other more obscure/overlooked artists. Haven't gone to it in
awhile cause it seems like they haven't updated in a long time.
