A lot of shit hop fans say that most of those groups are "electro" and not really hip hop. Well, when those groups were in style, there was no such genre as electro. It was known as rap or hip hop. The term electro didn't come until the 1990s when rap sounded totally different and the no talents had to come up with something to separate the groups with real talent so they couldn't be compared to them and look bad. If they don't want to call them hip hop, that's fine with me. That just means I won't have to worry about insulting the talented rappers when I shit on the entire genre. The hip hop I listened to sounds nothing like the boring stuff it became in the 1990s. And yeah, the overrated almighty Borepac Shakur and Dr. Dre and the majority of the other rappers from the 1990s are also included in the type of rap that I consider "shit hop" when I came up with the term. Shit hop is stripped down "talking over a weak sounding beat" and it never gets past midtempo. It starting dominating the radio in the early 1990s and still dominates it. I know I typed a lot to answer your question but nothing gets my blood pressure up more than shit hop. Not even Shitney Houston. 
. . [Edited 12/20/07 9:49am] naw i appreciate u taking 2 the time 2 xplain it all because i was under the impression that u didn't like hip hop at all. but i'm glad u cleared it up since we like the similar type of hip hop when they had a message and u could understand every damn word they were saying. we cool  That's not exactly what I was saying. I liked it when it was actual "music" and it was fast enough to shake ass to. This shit today is nothing but a stripped down weak beat at a sissified Judy Garland tempo. As for lyrics, I wouldn't care if they rapped the ABCs if the music was funky behind it. The music is my concern. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Believe me, I am not happy whatsoever with what Prince is doing, but at the same time, it's kinda hard to turn your back on somebody whose music you have enjoyed in 20+ years.true ..  man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

cause i never thought do u lie was great or 3 chains of gold was a masterpiece..and let's not even talk about chelsea rogers koolaid drinkers think everything is the grand progressionYou are listening to his music, though. I thought that you had stopped listening to all of his music, even the celebrations.  I must say that I never liked absolutely EVERYTHING that Prince has done either. There are some songs by him that I skip over every time, such as "Right the Wrong". I don't think Wendy and Lisa are goddesses that need to be worshipped either, the way some folks do. So that definitely does not make me a koolaid drinker, even though there is music by Prince that I like and enjoy listening to. [Edited 12/20/07 11:28am] RIP, mom.

Their music is too slow to dance to. it's all about head bobbing and standing up against the wall lol And making silly arm gestures that look like they are swatting away flies. Actually, they might be able to waltz to their shit. I don't know, what's the name of some of those old ballroom dances? Anyway, you know what I mean. I remember when two guys would stand side by side and battle each other pop locking, breakdancing, or even just dancing in general. For them to have a dance battle these days to their slow ass music, the two thugs would have to put their arms around each other and do those old fuddy duddy ballroom dances. That is, if they want to truly keep in step to the tempo of their music.

psychodelicide said: ToraToraDreams said: I stopped a while ago because I was disgusted by him, but that only lasted a few days. I still don't like how he is treating the fansites, but he would have to, like, rape someone or do something very, very aweful to get me to stop listining to him.
Ditto! I quit listening to Prince for awhile when he started with this "I'm gonna sue and yo mamma too" stuff. But I guess I got over that. I think my signature kind of says it all. I agree with it  | |

I don't know what he could do to make me stop listening. I tried to stop watching Pee Wee's Big Adventure when Paul Reubens was heading for the sex offender list but alas, I still love that movie. Art is art. Shake it til ya make it  | |

Prince doesn't need any fan base. He loves to release new music, and he just don't give a fuck if their "fans" buy his albums or not, or if they are pleased by his musical direction/style, that's all. He is very Dylan-ish . You can put Dylan, Prince and Bowie in the same box, just the opposite of a Springsteen-RollingStones-Elton John box.
I mean, he only thinks about the mainstream market (Prince, 1999, Purple Rain, D&P, Rave, Musicology) or just about himself (the rest of his career).  | |
