Not ALL of rap. Of course there are tons of indie rap that you NEVER get to hear on mainstream radio. But for the most part there are so many bullsh** "rappers" out there telling us to do stupid things like "crank that Soulja boy"....or shouting and grunting out loud in every song! It's so sickening! When (if ever) will new good hip hop artist be heard by the masses: Its like now when most people talk about hip hop, they think of the crap you hear on the radio. Not the Procussions, or the Argyle Pimps, or Pigeon John or Lighthead....just a bunch of SH**!!!! Whyyyyy og whyyyyy....:(

I bought his 'Masquerades & Silhouettes' (Ancients Series 1) LP on it's release day and I got 'It's All Happening Now' (Ancients Series 3) LP a few years ago after seeing it a record shop without realising he had made a new album.

But what happened to The Ancients Series 2? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does it even exsist? Or is it just one of those albums that gets recorded but never gets released due to problems between the artist and record label?

I know I'm about to get 2 answers on this since I asked so late, but I can't see a video getting its point across better than this one.

Prove me wrong (the video, not the song. The song can be terrible for all I care)

Lil Wayne IS NOT the best alive.

> The only way you could think that if you've never listen to rap before.

> Maybe you got into rap with 50, and since Wayne is more lyrical than him he has to be the best...smh

> Lil Wayne Doesn't write his own stuff...That's like saying Bow wow or Puffy is the Best.

> Lil Wayne has been in the game since 1998 and he has yet to put out a classic album...Cam'Ron has a better track record.
Come Home with Me was near perfect.

> Webbie is better than Lil Wayne (check his freestyles before you trip) So he aint even the best out of his state.

> Bun B, Young Dro, Bobby Creek, Andre, Cham, is better than Lil Wayne, So he aint the best in the South.

> Jigga, Nas, Jae Millz, Lupe, Ghostface, are better than Lil Wayne so he aint the best period.

ANT

Check it, this dude a b*tch u can tell by his name/
Imma put you to shame cuz my flow remain insane/
Kinda like ya girls brain/
Tryin get popular, comin to my domain tryin to claim fame/
Dog last time we battled I won by unanimous decision/
Smoke you like cannabis except with ammunition/
You in a bad position if ya my opposition be prepared fo demolition/
Make a incision in you like I was a physician/
Then cut you in half like division like a mathematician/
I rhyme with so much precision, imma have this b*tch on the ground quiverin/
You were getting supped thinking ya e-game was up but im thinking is it?/
Sh*t Lily was fallin 4 u, but Evil already got the digits/
This dude is e-slow, always late with his sh*t/
Just admit my sh*t is legit, and after thi battle ova, ur career you’ll submit, commit to quit/
The internet is your home this is where it be-gun/
I fathered you over it hence your name, cuz you’re my e-son/ (get it? E-son, eason)/

Eason

I spit swift like the Spiderman Symbiote.
Get black and ugly its Venom whenever I spit.
Got my girl at my crib sensationalizing *******.
Finding out it was Ant’s mom was strictly off coincidence.
Coincidentally she pregnant cause of the use of no rubber
Now Ant’s brother is being fathered by his mothers lover.
I got my kid and a stepkid, time to set example.
Like never getting in a battle you’re a*s cannot handle.
I taught Ant a rhyme scheme and started writing his lines.
So that one day he can spit a verse that’s close to matching mine.
Had his chance to shine high in the ATL remix
Then FredMS ripped and made Rhode Island look like b*tches.
Then his a*s had the nerve to ask the regulars, “Who killed it?”
Like we gone all agree it’s you because you posted the ish?
Challenging pros makes them think your not sober.
Pissing on you till your drunk off the fluids, watt a hangover.
And the lines about me and your mother were metaphors.
I don’t want her, ILL just call up my hoes in Bmore.


NO BIASED VOTES. FAIR VOTES ONLY!

What do you think would happen in the music industry? Do you think lyrical artists would get more promotion? Or do you think from the abundance of "song help plz!!!!!! 10 pts <3 :-))?" questions would prove them right, so the consultation wouldn't change a thing.

I feel if they were to look at the intelligent answers/questions the lable heads would drastically change their outlook on rap, and how they go about signing, promoting, and realeasing, artists. But that's my opinion. What's yours?

I was and have been a fan of hip hop my whole life but to me since the late 90's early 2000's there has not been good music out.It is all about I got money and women.Not to mention the horrible songs hip hop is making for dance clubs(hey bay-bay).All have become unoriginal to me and got me moving to alternative music for orginality..I guess it circles around,but Hip Hop def. misses 2pac(the greatest.)A true lyricist.What do you think?

I'm failing to understand this. On one hand rappers are like 'Yeh we're keeping it real...our beautiful black african sista's' but then you see the videos and they have the lightest, most straight haired, caucasian looking women or puerto rican/spanish/latin appearance.

I have never seen a dark skinned black women in a rap video, they just don't exist?

Help me understand this prejudice black rappers have against their own women?
