I pretty much agree. I cannot STAND MTV now a days. It's all some stupid pop stuff. I also cannot stand mainstream/commercial rap now a days. rap/hiphop are my favorite genre's of music. But I can't lie ... the stuff that's out now a days sucks! I cannot stand the radio, mtv, or anything else that plays music. But let me clear up that it's MOST OF THE COMMERCIAL/MAINSTREAM RAP. I hardly listen to new rap and hiphop.
But I must admit, I still crank my old school stuff. Not even really old school, but I mean my biggie, tupac, older mobb deep and nas. Mainly new york stuff is my forte, w/the exception of tupac. Oh yea ... and of course dre and snoop I still thump to all the time. I actually popped 'The Chronic' on my car 2 weeks ago. That album owns.
All of the rappers coming out with stuff now have gone down hill. There was a time when I liked DMX and Jay Z. But now they are complete crap. To me, I think the problem lies because these artists come out with albums too frequently that they have nothing to rap about. I mean jay z and dmx came out with like an album each year for the past 2 or 3 years. THEY DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO RAP ABOUT!. I am sick of hearing about their bitches, money, and parties. That's all they talk about now a days. But when biggie was out, he had only 2 albums come out while he was alive and was over a pretty big chunk of time period. And look at his first 2 albums. Those are 2 of the best albums I have to this date. Same with Nas. People liked his first album the best by far. Then as he went on, they got worse and worse. But I must admit his last one was hot
What happened to rap man? I miss the good stuff . If only my favorite rapper biggie was still alive . We'll always love Big Poppa!
