As for the slower, midtempo hip hop that was underground in the late 1980s and came above ground and took over the 1990s to the present.....HELL NAW!!! It's got to be fast, funky, and for the dance floor.

That's my kinda of talk.

I'm a hip hop junkie!!!! they said it wouldn't last and although some say it died already I still feel and follow the saying "hip hop , it's not just music it's a way of life"! I love me some East Coast rap all the way to the opposite side I groove to my left West Coast rap...with the homies we hooride to gangsta rap... I could adapt to even some of that dirty dirty south rap and I'm down for the underground as well as the commercial jams cuz I'z iz a DJ ya heard? !!! there have been some true legends who have already been heard and been crowned killed/dethroned/retired or in some way or another unfortunately passed on but each carried their own legacy and indirectly molded the style, mind, appearance, wisdom, and passion of todays rappers/mc's/dj's THose legends proved to achieve what many dream of achieving and showed us there is still hope and opportunity as well as inspiration! we now have an open ground for new soldiers of rhyme to show what they got ....here's to some great future freestyle battles that will hopefully soon bring forth the new conquerers of hip hop!

this site is weird like that! there are a few that do love hip hop but not many!

HipHop and Rap was slammin back in the days (80s and very early 90s) But I do not care for the newer artists really...

These artists are some of my favs also.

I've gotta admit I don't care for the old-schoolers so much with that pre-historic style of rap. I'm talking about the Kurtis Blows and Sugar Hill Gangs. The one exception is Whodini .

The mid/late 80's through the early/mid 90's were the "golden ages" for me.

You had Rakim, LL, EPMD, Big Daddy Kane, Bizmarkie, Slick Rick, Gangstarr, NWA, Cypress Hill, Nas, Redman, etc. It ain't the same for me anymore, but maybe it's an age thing. I don't know.

You have mention alot of my favorites. Perhaps, it may be an age thing b/c you did mention alot of the old rappers. At the end of day, you face it, the shit that there putting on wax today ain't really worth a damn compared to music that alot of grew up on.

I love rap/hip hop from the eighties and nineties. But recently the genre has changed for the worse. Now you got a bunch of artists running around looking like fools. I mean where are the Tupac's, Biggie's, Slick Rick's, NWA's, etc, etc? They don't exist instead we have Marshall Mathers talking about how he is a "souljah." Please. There are some artists that I do enjoy today but they usually are true to the hip hop/rap genre: Music with a message and not just about platinum and benzes.

The following are reasons why I love Hip-Hop/Rap:

Newcleus

Of course it is appreciated here. Not talked about much but it definitley is.

My fav rappers...

probably....

Nas
Jay Z
Eminem
Lil Kim
Notorious B.I.G.
Missy Elliot
Foxy Brown
Oukast
LL Cool J
Common
Kanye is pretty good with this one album
Dr. Dre
Snoop

Yeah them are probably the only ones I pay attention to today. I could do the older artists from the 80's too but I dont have lots of their albums just bunches of songs, so I cant really just judge.

I do feel "The Message" is the greatest rap song of it's history though. Nothing will ever top that.

the i had to add common edit, he made a fan outta me with Electric Circus

I understand when you say that you like to hear Hip-Hop at a faster tempo.

We need Miami Bass Music to make a comeback and kill Crunk!!!
