[Dre-Day]

By "Whitey Rap" I'm guessing you mean the super commercial bullshit? lol.

nope... 

I like that way of rating though, based on what tracks you actually keep

But it can be way off..... lets say you keep 6 tracks out of 10,and the tracks is just above average. Does it still deserve 3/5?

what is "whitey rap"? explain.

I am a fan of Fat Joe's but after listening to his latest one I can't even co sign that shit. GET BACK TO WORKING WITH DITC!!!!!!!

yeah,but this is the reason Hip hop is dieing.
Fans is the ones killing it,supporting their favorite artists no matter what.
Snoop wont do g-shit,Fat Joe wont get back with DITC and so on,and so on.... as long as "we" keep supporting the crap they're doing these days.

Speaking of Fat Joe and his new album,I kept two tracks: Blackout (feat. Swizz Beats & Rob Cash) and.......

  Porn Star (feat Lil Kim) 

Let me recommend a dope album from 09 while we're at it;

might be my favorite album so far in 09 
Magnificent Ruffians - Elevated Ruffians

produced, recorded, designed, mixed and mastered by ELEVATED SOUL.
http://www.myspace.com/elevatedsoul
http://www.myspace.com/magnificentruffians
http://www.myspace.com/elevatedruffians
http://www.reverbnation.com/elevatedsoul

I picked out a couple of my favs from their album;
Magnificent Ruffians - Elevated Ruffians (Vader's favs)
Tracklist;
-Culture (Hip Hop)   (read again; Hip Hip CULTURE)
-I Can't Lose (fuck the garbage)
-I Can't Understand (fuck the garbage part 2)
-Our Love (for gangster rap)     (you will love this one D-Nice  )

listen to the lyrics,you might learn a thing or two about real Hip Hop.
Now take your wak ass shit and put em up your asses

I can't remember who said it before but 2009  >  2008 and 2007. Easily in my opinion!

alternative rap...

non-gangsta rap? How is that whitey? The majority of black people are not gangsters. Hell, the majority of rappers are not gangsters either. You are missing out on some of the greatest hip hop music ever created.

The biggest audience for gangsta rap is white kids from suburbia who grew up during the 90s. Nuff said.

hey check my list... and you figure out who I mean   that is if you're on top of things.
The real ones in here knows what's up  

Doom and Del are both alternative anyway...

[dubsmith_nz]

Lol yeah Doom is the king of alternative

true... maybe I should have said super alternative. 

I honestly don't know what you mean by that. How can you get more alternative than Doom, a rapper who rhymes shit that doesn't even make sense?

[Chad Vader]

Lol yeah Doom is the king of alternative

nerd rap... he used to be straight Hip Hop though,remember KMD?
He's not on my radar,but not on my "hate" list either.  

But looks like I need to make clear this up,alternative rap is for the most part "whitey" rap.
I have made some interesting observations at Hip Hop shows throughout the years.

I can remember only two Hip Hop shows on top of my head where I was the only "whitey",TQ and a Lloyd Banks show
Ain't that something?

And how many colored did I (for example) see at a De La show? that's right,shit is reversed.   (been to a couple of their shows)

As far as gangster rap shows,what gangster rap? gangster pop?
The crowds at Cube,Snoop,The Game etc. shows is pretty mixed.  


So what is the "whitey" rap I stay clear from?
  Rawkus records type of shit

Big L? Pharoah Monche? Black Star? Common? Kool G Rap? Panacea? RA? You are missing out on some great artists.

I don't think Ice Cube has very much of a less white fanbase than these rappers. I've seen his concerts. Current gangsta pop has more black audience (Lil Wayne, TI, etc). But if you go to any old school gangsta rap concerts you're guaranteed to see a whole lot of white people.

Plus I know for sure that Del and Doom don't have any less of a white audience than Mos Def and Talib Kweli.
