M Dogg™:
I agree with Rod and Craiga. I couldn't put it in words, but Hip-Hop culture is life to me. I remember breakin', grafitti, and of course freestlyin when I was young. When I was little, I use to listen to all types of music, but it was rap that grapped me. I tried Heavy Medal, Grudge, that poppy Michael Jackson, Madonna stuff, but it was South Central Cartel, Eazy-E, Lighter Shade of Brown and LL Cool J that had me. Later it was Snoop Dogg, and 2Pac that clinched my love to rap music. No other music speaks to me like rap, but I'm I.E. born and raised, and in the early 90's we were ghetto. I wouldn't discribe it as a ghetto now, but when all this shit was coming out, we had the highest crime rate in the nation, my parents were just getting a divorce and the only music talking about single parents was rap, and my moms was on drugs, and rappers were talking about drug addict moms. So to me, it was rap that was the soundtrack to my early life, and as I grow up, I still like to hear rap music. To me, rap has became part of me, it was never a phase of life, it was life. When i grew up, rap always had a song to discribe how I was feeling, and with all these lame commercial rappers, I listen to other rappers, ones that keep hip-hop real. So to someone that rap is just a phase, I can see how it's easy to just pass it off, but once hip-hop becomes your life, once it touches you personally, you can't let it go.

misconception about hip-hop number 532... if a rapper rocks it, especially one that's been out for a hot minute, then it's hip-hop. Wrong, hip-hop is of the street, a rapper rocking some shit don't make it hip-hop. Jersey are hip-hop not because rappers rock them, but people on the streets been rocking Magic, Dr. J, Ronnie Lott and other jersey since they were considered new school. Rappers in videos never really rocked them in videos, but the streets wore them, so it's only a matter of time before rappers did. Did that mean jerseys were not hip-hop before rappers sported them. Hell nah. Jay-Z and Kanye dress preppy, does that mean hip-hip is preppy, hell nah. It means they are preppy, they are trying to start a trend. I don't know about the rest of the U.S. intercities, but in San Bernardino, it's not catching on.

It's sad that hip hop is the crown jewl of music , because in all reality no matter how genious you are (Dre, quik, rza, mos def, rakim) hip hop is the least talented genre in the history of music and hip hop is dumbing down the musical abilities of the world. i mean shit there was a time in music where you'd hear Steve Vai on the Radio and you were inspired to play guitar like him......you didn't need to have "street cred" be drapped in "ice" or be from the hood, or a certain race...you just were inspired to play an instrument. you don't see that anymore.........all hip hop is inspiring is a world of weak mother goose poets......even at the most credible level of lyricism. Hip hop had one and only one true poet....and he's dead. don't get me wrong hearing canibus rhyme on second round KO and xzibit on what you see is what you get is entertaining and enjoyable, and you should listen to what entertains you, but don't run around thinking it's Bach or Bethoveen.

Exactly, especially the part about the mother goose poets. People act like these people are talented, but if you took a friekin' songwriter out of Nashville, and told him to write a rap song, it'd be 10 times better than anything Canibus or Xzibit could come up with.

lol wtf..
I dont see why, for instance, (no offense) ppl like Brian Wilson should be considered genius musicians, when ppl like Eminem, Canibus, 2pac or Nas are considered stupid entertainers...
Seriously, I know other music, and the lyrics dont amaze me. Not that they dont own complex rhyme patters and shit, they are also much shorter, repeat often and the message isnt always that great.. mostly about things like love or so, lol, we all know what it is. not to talk about wordplay and methaphours.
now to the instrumental stuff. I got plenty of homies who can play great guitar, piano or drums, seriously. but I know noone, I repeat noone, who can make decent beats.
