2007 has been a great year for rap music imo

[herpes]

what a surprise that spice would say 2007 was a great year.  For the most part the year sucked.  A few decent releases doesn't equal a great year.

what a surprise that moron Fits has nothing positive to say about rap. 2007 has been a very impressive year music wise.  FIts the history of rap is great but you gota move on,  you know your shit when it comes to 1993 east coast rap  but currently you dont know shit about shit.  move thd fuck on, it's not the mid 90's anymore.

What is there positive to say when the best new emcees in the past 7-8 years can't get any shine.  They can't even get a album out on a indie label b/c the industry is so fucked up.  Instead every single sounds the same now a days.  A lot of these new cats all spit about the same shit.  Some of the albums you listed were nice but a couple of years from now no one will be talking about them.  And the few good albums out you have to go searching for.  And telling me to move one... thats one of the biggest problems with hip hop.  Every other genre of music embraces and celebrates the people that became before them on a regular basis.  You hear classic rock music just as much as the new stuff.  Kids that just get into other genres of music find out about the classics, they are encouraged too.  Yet  in rap if you listen to older stuff thats like a dirty thing to do.  Thanks to MTV for that and this generation that is so simple minded it lets the mass media control it's thoughts.  New rock fans will eventually find out about Elvis, the Beatles, Hendrix, Dylan, and so on. While most new hip hop heads will never know who is Melle Mel, Schooly D, KRS-One, and a lot of other rap pioneers.  Why can't we embrace the old and the new. Because of simple minded closed minded cats like you who say move on b/c the old stuff is dirty or old.  10 years from now when you moved on from hip hop real hip hop fans like myself will have to pick up the pieces of a art form that is in ruins b/c of the mind set of people like you.  And one more point I dont know shit about shit.  Why don't you start a poll asking who knows more on rap.  Who is the bigger hip hop head.  Who is the more knowledgeable hip hop head.  People here may not like me but they know I know my shit.  Maybe thats why you always get defensive when I talk about old school shit, b/c all you know is what has happened in the 2000's.

i didnt read this shit but tha first two and last sentences and it looks 2 me that u got all emotional pussy.  but 4 tha evergoing arguements sake, EVERY single doesnt sound tha same and EVERY artist that waz hot back then besides a chosen few UGK, Jay, Snoop, Wu, and a few more dont even really need 2 drop albums anymore let me know who should bcuz i beg 2 differ wit this old verses new bullshit, i grew up on old skool HIP HOP-90's Gangsta Shit, and 00's microwave rap and 2 b honest tha game is gettin better, it all depends on where ur lookin 4 ur music.
