@modern:
I respect your opinion.

These 3 songs aren't all what I think of rap.

LOL. The Lupe song isn't rap, it's hip hop.

Wow. "Dance With The Devil" is a real powerful, depressing and horribly true with the nature of people. I've heard song by Lupe and... I'm indifferent to it, because I really hate "Float On" by Modest Mouse. >_____<

Also, may I just say how I do enjoy how Eminem seems to be getting back to his rapping roots. Call my crazy, but I really, really enjoyed "No Love," and it really feels like the old Eminem. Maybe that's just me, though.

ugh...Rap hasnt been all that geat for a long time. The stuff what comes on tv and radio these days is about killing, sex, girls or talking about what i have that you don't. weith heap hooks and lame dances.

For rap music, i prefer 80's-mid 90's rap.

Lupe Fiasco is one of the real rappers.
His is a lyrical genius and no other rapper comes close to him.
Although his new album Lasers wasn't great, some of those song lyrics are meaningful and deep.

Uhhhhh not many are around anymore. Just saying. So.....I would say really Lupe, Immortal Technique, Eminem and Nas are really doing stuff. Well actually Eminem is crap right now So, real rap is pretty much dead unless you dig yourself a huge hole and jump underground.

It's called Sampling dude. they took that guitar melody and SAMPLED it for the beat.

There is such thing as original Hip Hop. "Real" Hip Hop, however, is arguable.

EDIT: FFFFFF I meant rap, not hip hop.

EDIT 2: Wait, is "REAL rap" some sort of label or something? Because both of the times you mentioned it is stylized in higher case alphabet form. But not that it matters or anything.

[quote=cooliee125]GOD no. He USED to be sweet, after eminem show he went from 9/10 to 4/10. He is such a commerical rapper now.[/quote]

True bro. Only new songs I listen to by him now are:

1. Beautiful in Relapse
2. You're never over in Recovery
3. W.T.P. in Recovery

Now when it comes to his old stuff...

No apologies
Way I am
Till I collapse
Without me

Need I go on?

EDIT: @The guys talking about 2pac
