HipHop

[The Watcher]

Ok, this may be a bit off topic from all the "TOP 10 2PAC TRACKS?!!" threads or the "WHOS BETTER, BERT OR ERNIE!?" type things, but I was just on the toilet, so read on.

If hiphop was to COMPLETELY change tomorrow, no more gangsta rap, no more rappin about killin people, rapin hoes, doin drugs, no more pimpin etc, if it all went POSITIVE, Will Smith style, would you still be down for hiphop? Do you think any of the artists would do positive raps if thats all they could do?

your biggest fan, this is stan.

positive rap doesn t have to be will smith rap...

some eastcoast cats prove that

i could deal with that situation

[I TO DA GEEZY]

exactly what JAY said...and mo...as i alwayz say..."what to rap about"...tha topicz of trackz.....r up to tha the rapperz...what i demand from them as from artistz iz to know how to deliver their chosen topic....so basicly, i could deal wit whatever topic....positive shit....negative shit...don"t metter...as long as they know how to deliver that shit.

first i write and im gettin heavily into rappin, and im learning there might b other cats i dont like what they rap about but i have respect for them tho.........i have respect because they r sendin a message, no matter if its pos or neg, its still message or they wanna rap bout what they know experience or feel.......but if rap turned positive i would love that shit cause on the real isnt that what were all strivin to do in essence to all live wit one another in peace......and yo hip-hop has come along way to achieve that goal.....
peace

Nice topic Mighty   Anyways, to answer your Q, I don't think i'd be down for Will Smith type of shiz but I like conscious type of hip-hop that comes from Common/Brand Nubian/Talib Kweli etc, they usually stick to positive-ish issues, so to answer your Q yeah i'd still be down, but I think i'd crave some hard core hip-hop now and again, lol (but then i'd have my old CD's to go back to so it wouldn't be all that bad).

u know hip hop does not have to be explicit to be good...or as young kids like....an artist doesn't even have to 'swear' to have a good song...it depends on the quality of the music....so if all rap went positive, then there would have to be some ppl that i liked....so yeah if the quality of the music was good...and good production.....then yes....i wouldn't give a fuck....i would still be down with hip hop....cos it don't matta to me as long as the songs are decent!!

I like Talib and Common type shit but i couldn't deal with it...I can't stand staying mushy always..
