'Real' Hip hop imo is Dead now, people like 50 cent and that all thinking they are hard producing crap. Early 90's hip hop was imo the best (and late 80's)
NWA (late 80s), Ice Cube and Dr Dre in the Early 90's (the Chronic is imo the best Album EVER) and 2pac and stuff like that.

I replied to a similar point earlier - its far from dead, its just heavily diluted. Theres stuff out now thats every bit as good as the golden era of hip hop.

Anyway - im off to my first concert of the year this week - Plan B at the arches in Glasgow on Friday, he blew the roots off the stage in december, so i cant wait to see him again in a smaller club, it should be excellent.

The family of a woman killed in a car crash involving R&B star Brandy are suing the performer for $50m (£26m).

Immortal Technique's lyrical ability is excellent but he needs to work on his flow.

And maybe work on his content seeing as he comes up a load of BS.

I thought the production on Immortal Techniques album was pretty poor, its surprising since most of the stuff out of Necro's protege's are usually pretty good.

Is hiphop thread dead or something where is everyone? Surely there must be something to talk about...

Metalface Mark · 7 Mar 2007 at 07:58

It is pretty quiet at the moment, my big news is that im going to see Primo and Marley Marl playing in Glasgow next month, it should be mindblowing.

Anyone find this any good?

Pretty much all hip-hop is terrible. Slightly older, i.e. pre 2002 or Jay-Z are about all I can handle.

Because like I said, I like Jay-Z, and older stuff. This new stuff is awful I can deal with it.

A mate has Akon on his phone, wtf. Sounds like a cat being strangled, or Billy Corgan having his balls twisted. And Chingy, er again wtf. Just seems to me that the days of any decent hip-hop are over, with every 'gansta' wannabe man jumping on the bandwagon and producing utter rubbish.

So this isn't a hatred of hip-hop, just the new carp.

Akon isnt hip hop. It depends what your source of music is, i fully agree that commercial hip hop is terrible these days, however there is a vibrant hardcore underground scene which is every bit as good as the older stuff.

Dont mind Akon on the new Bone thugs tune.

Cant wait for their new album, should be out next month!

I believe you, I just obvioulsy haven't heard it. I would much prefer to music being performed by a band and sang. Ok Akon isn't hip-hop but he still makes me want to peel my own ears off.

A lot of hip hop now is made with bands, thanks to copyrighting laws. Have you ever listened to the roots? They are a band (i dont think they even have a dj anymore since the cut chemist left), but might be something you would like.

Agreed. He's actually half decent on it, probably because he isn't waffling on about how he's a convict.

Also can't wait for their album, definately my favourite/most listened too hip-hop group of all time.

BTH are definetly not hip hop mate, they were grouped in with hip hop because Eazy E produced them at first, id say they are R&B.

DanTheMan · 9 Mar 2007 at 11:05

They're definately not RnB but I can see where you're coming from. Just because they harmonize their vocals, doesn't mean that they aren't rapping though.

They have a gospel sound to them but I'd still say they're hip hop.

R&B rap their vocals too though, they are a strange hybrid thats for sure, i cant let them in the hip hop category though, sorry
