Any rap fans here?

fuoff209 · 02-08-2008, 12:56 AM

I wuz just wondering if therez any rap fans here becuz i want ur guys opinion on now days rap. I am personally dissappointed with now a dayz rap. I mean they can't compare to 2pac, Dru Down, Eazy E, Too Short and all the rappers frum the 90'z era.

Ericgamer1 · 02-08-2008, 01:07 AM

I agree. Old school rap was a lot better and had more of a story element to it. Rap today has a lot of weird stuff it in, I only like a few songs that were made '00 and up.

Kel · 02-08-2008, 01:11 AM

Rap isn't even made anymore.

I wouldn't classify anything made now as 'rap'. It's pretty much just all bullshit music.

fuoff209 · 02-08-2008, 01:14 AM

I agree i mean there iz a few good stuff now. Like the bay area stuff iz alright. But i mean song like "can you feel me" by dru down and "hit em up" by pac are my 2 all time favorites

The best album. Evar.

I used to be a big rap fan, but then it all went down hill.

Latest rap can't compare to the older rap.

There's a few that can compare, but as a whole, forget about it.

There is still some great rap music out there.

The stig · 02-08-2008, 04:48 PM

So, like i said, there's a few...

Jay-Z yes.

Eminem, yes.

Nas, yes.

Joe buddens, who the hell is that?

TI, yes.

I do agree that A LOT of today's rap is selling out to that whole "hip-hop/pop" scene in order to sell more albums and appeal to a larger audience, however there are still some rappers out there that are spittin rhymes

Some of the best IMO:
Pac
T.I.
Wayne
DMX
Nas
Jay-Z

The stig · 02-08-2008, 04:50 PM

Erm, 2pacs dead

He isn't still spitting out rhymes.

I'm not a fan of wayne, but DMX is one of my faves.

xpack67 · 02-08-2008, 04:57 PM

^No he's not! He owns a coffee shop with Elvis and the Wright brothers up in Canada!

No shit he's dead....

I was just naming some of the best rappers...I guess the way I put that could have caused some confusion =\

Joe Buddens SERVED Jay-Z before I posted a link to is music in my first post check it out and post what you think.

The stig · 02-08-2008, 09:51 PM

Hmm, ok, he's actually good.

Is he new, because i haven't seen him on any of the music channels at all

He sort of reminds of the game when he first started out.

No Joe Buddens has been around for years he had the PUMP PUMP PUMP PUMP IT UP!!!! Song he was signed with Def Jam but the real world just wasn't ready for his music.

ifeanyi84 · 02-08-2008, 11:31 PM

buddens is not new. he's been around for a while.

edit: my bad the response was meant to be posted a while ago, but i forgot to hit the button to respond. buddens is nice, but for some reason nothing serious every happened with him. he had a few hot singles and that was really all he got, as far as mainstream recognition goes.

The stig · 03-08-2008, 12:04 AM

I like that song pump it up as well, if its the one i'm thinking of xD

I should pay more attention...

Kel · 03-08-2008, 12:11 AM

I hate buddens, straight up.
The song you posted isn't THAT bad, but as a whole I dislike his music.
Especially pump it up..

ifeanyi84 · 03-08-2008, 12:25 AM

pump it up wasnt exactly his best song, but for some reason it's one of the main ones that people actually remember. focus was a better song and a better single, although there are many other songs of his that are better than pump it up.
