its sad but im the same...after hearing Jada's new album and the new Lloyd Banks, im thinking that these are considered to be two of the best artists around at the moment, which is fucking hilarious!!! having said that, i saw Talib Kweli & Mos Def live on monday night, which was a fucking excellent show!! so im still banging their shit...along with the Justus League, Common, Pharoahe (obviously), Kanye (sometimes), but thats it mainly...i'm also still discovering tracks daily that i think are dope so it may be a while before im reach the stage Luke is at!

I've been tired with the radio, MTV and whatnot. I haven't kept up with who's popular for a while, my cousins when I got home where like, have you heard from Cassidy, or some other shit, do you have Beg For Mercy. I listened to it with girls, but for myself, never. For along while now, I've only listen to semi-underground, semi-commercial, like Talib Kweli, Immortal Technique, Ras Kass, and others like them. As for backpack rap, or what is backpack rap now, it sucks. All that shit isn't real backpack rap. It's alt. rap. Backpack rap is Mos Def, KRS-One, Talib Kweli. But anyways, it really doesn't matter to me what's hot, Clear Channel fucked over hip-hop by buying out all those stations, and now stations don't have freedom to play local acts, but instead they have to play what Clear Channel wants. Hip-Hop is in danger, but honestly, real rap music will always be there, I just don't turn on the radio.

whats not to like about rap...like sometimes it can be different at times...i think that all you need is a break from rap and then strart listening to it again .... 8)

i feel you.  i aint really listening to much shit anymore.  ive only bought 3 albums that have come out this year.  and ionly plan on buying 2 more,  mobb deep an nas.  i still listen to rap but the stuff i have.  its so crappy now rap.

Luke, if you dont like rap thats fine man, time to move on.  Alot of people find as they get older that current music (not just rap) is not suited to their tastes, it happens to most people

As for the profanity and negativity, it is kind of embarassing how rap is so immature.  Its nice to have some Kanye, Talib, and possibly new Mase as alternatives.  You say Kanye and Talib have negative messages, but aside from profanity, i dont see alot of negative messages......and i rarely hear Kanye or Talib talking about violence and drugs on there albums.......peace

Whatever you do, dont take music so seriously, dont let it define you.  When i first started teaching a couple of years ago, i felt like i should probably quit listening to rap, or keep my windows rolled up, etc, and not admit to students or fellow teachers that its my favourite type of music.  Then i realized, if people want to judge me by what i listen to, fuck them.  And i dont take people like SNoop or anyone seriously (NEVER HAVE), i never really am that affected by what a rapper says because really, what do they know that i dont?
