I fucking love hip hop.

Its just so organic and honest.

Gansta Rap, underground, R&B, all of it.

Granted there are some artists who suck, but there is plenty of brilliant artistic flows to find if you know where to look.

PS. Kanye Wests new album is fucking great. The man is back with a vengence.

Albums to buy if you want to potentially get in to good hip hop.

GZA - Liquid Swords (see a few posts above for example)

Cannible Ox - The Cold Vein (forgoten gem of an album)

Wu Tang Clan - Enter the 36 chambers (really any wu albulm is good, save for 8 diagrams and maybe Wu Tang Forever)

Zero - any album (most underated rapper in the US according to New York times

Dr. Dre - The Chronic (not the 2000 version)

Watch this if you dont beleive me about kanye being back.

He is not back, just listened to it, his lack of flow still sounds as sloppy as a smoothie

I am a pretty big fan of Hip Hop

Buck 65, Sage Francis, Busdriver, Lupe Fiasco and dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip would be my favourites.

I'd like to fancy myself as a bit of a Hip Hop producer.. But.. I'm not very good >.>

Just never been able to get into it is all. I can appreciate rap and hip hop, but I just don't feel it.

I enjoy real hip hop a great deal. Artists like Common, Nas, and other artists with soulful and meaningful music often can pique my interest.

So, what is your opinion of it?
It's funny that you mention those two artists, because I think Nas is great, and I can't stand Common. I think they couldn't be more different.

I don't like most rap but I do really like some of it. But then I would say the same thing about every style of music. I haven't found a style yet that doesn't have some good examples of it that I can enjoy somewhere.

I don't think being "real" is important though. "Authenticity" is never important in music, which is just as well in the case of rap music. Have you ever wondered why rappers make such good actors?

Have you guys heard of Blakroc?

In short, it's a rap rock collaboration between various hip hop artists and the band The Black Keys.

Old Hip Hop = Okay.

New Hip Hop = (Mostly) Shit.

In my opinion.

Basic reasoning comes down to how a lot of it* seems to be about how great the artist is and how they treat women like shit, have sex all the time, and have lots of money.

Pretty much the only reason I put mostly in my opinion of new Hip Hop, that song is awesome.

[small]* The mainstream stuff at least, I know how good lesser known or indie music can be.[/small]

I'm not a huge fan but I do like some rap and R&B so whether or not you regard that as hip-hop depends on my answer. The sad thing is that I know so many people who judge these musical genres without even listening to it, sure they listen to the generic crap that all the D-bags are all into, but then they never hear the good stuff.

I agree that they have different styles, but I still enjoy both. But as you know, everyone has different tastes.

By writing "hip hop", do you mean the whole culture or just rap music?
Because the music is called rap, not hip hop.
Hip Hop is the music and rapping is what the master of ceremonies does over the top
No, you're wrong :)
Hip hop is the culture. Rap is one of the elements of artistic expression within that culture. MC is the person who entertains the crowd. That person doesn't have to be a rapper as long as he/she keeps the party going.
