Rap and Hip-Hop

Sometimes you can tell the amount of emotion an artist puts into their song. Which song hits you the most?

Yahoo Music says that the artist is T-Pain when searched for the song, but the artist is said to be Flo Rida when looking for the album it is on. Both variations come up with lots of results when searched on Google. Thank you for your help.

This is obviously not a new trend, however I have noticed the pants are being worn lower and lower. What is the need for that? How are they held up? What is this expressing (because I am sure I will here its about self-expression... bull$h!t)?

Also, I would like to know the reason for the extremely long shirts and untied "work" boots (that see no work).

I would also like to hear from a ghetto white guy about why it is that a few months after the African American "ghetto," or "urban" guys start a clothing trend, why do the "ghetto Whitey's" copy.

I like rap music, but I have never been inclined to drop my pants below my buttocks because of it.

Honest question, just looking for some infizzo.

Or maybe ignorant is the right word. I woke up this morning and out of nowhere I am hammered with "you need to stop listening to rap, its unproductive and nothing but negative images"

Then insued a whole day of arguments. My parents gang up on me at the most random times!

My question is, when you listen to well thought out lyrics that have a meaning (Talib Kweli, Lupe, Rakim, POS, etc) what is wrong with it? My parents are saying "you need a postitive balance, you cant just be all rap" which is WHAT I DO. I happen to have (call it small if you want) a library of 2000+ songs of all genres, I just listen to rap more than I used to.

Maybe what I should do is sit down with my parents and let them know about the creative side of rap. Maybe I should burn them a mixtape (no clue if this would work) of LYRICAL rap that isnt BS "crank that" crap. Any ideas? I dont want my parents turning against me or holding prejudices against me because I listen to rap..

I hope that made sense lo

The only use of a hook is to gain commercial appeal...they really do nothing for the song (unless their really good)


I'm buying....I skip over the hook prolly a majority of the time cuz i don't listen to rap to hear catchphrases...

If so, he recorded the Wrap up for '07.
I like his wrap ups, so I just thought I should share.

The leaderboard is cool but even if someone gets suspended, I think that there best answer record should stay up and not just get erased.

Has anyone else read Theres a god on the Mic by Kool Mo Dee. What did y'all think? For anyone who hasn't read it he rated the top 50 MCs in his opinion (as of 2002) using a system of 17 categories such as Flow, Battle Skills, Impact (social and industry), Poetic Value, Originality and other so called necessary qualities of an MC. His top 5 were 1. Melle Mel 2. Rakim 3. KRS-One 4. Big Daddy Kane 5. Himself (Kool Mo Dee)
anyways if you haven't read it I suggest reading it for kicks if nothing else.

Hello everybody. My name is Nabil and I'm 15 years old..

I've been rapping with some friends just for fun about 2 years and now I'm getting sick of it and starting to sing like an R'N'B artist..

Would you suggest me any "RNB-artistnames"?

My rapper name was Nabillionaire.. It's a bit too hip hop.

what has rap music come to now a days? I remember when rap used to be good and the songs weren't always about hoes, money and drugs. The music that they produce for rappers is disgraceful! I was a big rap/hip-hop/r&b lover until this crap started being produced, now all i listen to is rock ( not popular bands) and reggae. And for the black community to sit around and dance to this music and say that it is good is disgraceful. I mean look at it this way, the rap/hip-hop video's demean women in all ways possible. They make it okay to use derogatory words to each other. They make it ok to speak like they aren't educated. What are they teaching the population of america? to speak and be idiots! now i know i'm being way past harsh, and i'm mostly only targeting rap. I know that some rock music is fake and horrible. But rap is so much worse. After my rant, how can you think that songs like crank that, chicken noodle soup are good, when they only contain about three lines of actual lyrics?

So, with Diddy making so-so celebs out of so-so singers, do you think he'll make a successful R&B group out of the Making the Band 4 guys?

If it failed w/a girl group.....(remember Danity Kane?) Can he make fire with his new project?
