Here's your chance
I think maybe a reason why people listen to this **** on the radio is becuase they see these artists on MTV everyday so they can identify more with them so i'm posting these videos(or songs) so you who want to learn a little can start to see who real hip-hop artists are. I listed some artists that are mainstream today to show you them back in the day or just for pure classic videos. This is really long but trust me this is just a glimpse into hip-hop. Any other heads can post a youtube or video link to teach the kids.

like Germany and Poland, Europe in general are generally more in touch with real hip-hop from the U.S. than white people actually living here are? I mean over there DJ Premier gets awards at the grammys, over here he doesn't get SHlT. If you talk to a lot of underground artists here they'll tell you they sell out concerts there way more than here and get way more love. So why do you think this is?

Apparently, ppl here in the RHH section think Jay-z has 3 classics......Reasonable Doubt, yes. Blueprint, yes..But the Black Album? GTFOH........maybe im the only one who thinks this, but if you think Black Album is a classic, give a brief explanation to shed me some light. or if you agree w/ me, that Jay-z only has 2 classic albums

I say jay-z bcuz of his 2 classic albums and other solid albums, longejvity, popularity, influence, and all the other ish that is making him money.

What's your opinion?

Listen to the lyrics Jesus Christ (PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND UNLESS YOU CLICK ON THE LINK AND LISTEN TO THE SONG, OR HAVE HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE). I don't listen to rap much at all, but this is that type of fire what burns the disintegrates the skin by the heat of the fire without the actual substance of fire touching you. The Heat scorches you. GODDAMN.

I didn't know about this dude, I'd actually go out and buy his CD.

This is a question for people who listen to Rap and Hip Hop. I'm not into the gangsta lifestyle or nothing and I know Lupe isn't either, but this is unreal, like a Naz in his prime when he flipped it with illmantic. What you guys think of this song?

2007-10-20 21:31:56 · 5 answers · asked by BDI Thug 4

Jin and Jay-Z ONLY!

So don't bother throwing other rappers into the equation.

I was wondering who would win between the two rappers? If they were to go head-to-head in a best 2 out of 3 rounds, who'd come out on top?

And please when judging, think of their skills and statistics. There is no need to look at the commercial successes of both rappers when determining who'd win, because obviously Jay-Z has done much better then Jin in this case.

However, that does not state who'd win because although commercial success does indicate the talent of the individual, part of it also has to do with the marketing. So solely basing your answer on commercial success is rather inconclusive, its their skills!


Anyway, its your personal opinion that I'm asking for. I'd just thought I clear that point. Also, if you like, I would like to hear WHY u chose that person too in ur answer.

Thanks.
