Lets not forget some real hip hop back in the day .....


Yo, grab a pencil
Three pads and a notebook
You're still shook
Like below zero
Paintin' murals
By the train track
It's 'nuff skills that you lack
So fuck you, your crew
and your backpack
I'm phat




Yo xentech, whats the artists that you've heard of that no-one else has? ... could probably prove you wrong ;)

People put those rappers that you dont like on their lists because they enjoy listening to them.

Sure DMX, Ludacris etc. arent the most lyrically talented, but theyre something people like to listen to. Just cause you dont like it doesnt mean its crap

Let's replace "Ludacris" with "George Bush", and see what your stance is, now.

I am open minded, I don't dislike certain types of music like most of the people on this forum. Most people for example, if they don't like rap, when they hear a rap song will just automatically not like it. I'm not like that, if I hear a song that I like - thats it. I have a very broad range of musical taste. I can listen to Pink Floyd one day, Beethoven the next and then slap on some Biggie Smalls.
