Jurassic 5 - J5 was a classic the second it was released. So was Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde. So was The Chronic. So was Step in the Arena. So was Straight Outta Compton...Quote:

Sticking up for Kanye, then ripping NWA?
Are you really a hip-hop fan?!?
I don't label myself as anything, but I've heard enough hip hop to have an opinion on the matter.
Tell me what's so good about NWA? Their deep lyrics? Their amazing flow? Their storytelling?
Again, I agree that they are historically important with their attitude, etc, but I really don't think that they deserve so much praise.
Ok I will.Quote:

Those vids are blocked at work!!! What are you guys posting?!?
Dude you are preaching to the choir. I know hip hop. I am old enough to have bought ALL those records when they came out.
I was merely pointing out that you can't reduce NWA to songs about guns and dick sucking.
There are good hip hop artists now and there always have been. Kanye West is not one of them.
He is undoubtably HUGE and has produced some great albums but his own work is tiresome at best. In the UK he is known as "that rapper that complains about not getting enough recognition".
Perhaps it's unfair to judge him against the "golden era" artists but he has to make as good music as they did to deserve the recognition they got and the simple fact that no matter how many records he sells, that crap-rap, top40, bling-hop of his deserves to be put with all the rest of the rubbish hiphop that comes out of America these days.
