Re: So when will the rap fad go away?

Not to mention that it is much easier to manufactor pop rappers than singers of any other genre because its more about a image than anything else. So if u can push your product on the big local radio stations and on MTV and BET you can make millions off talentless people without much work

Laettner, did you like the Wu-Tang clan? I'm listening to Ghostface's latest release Fishscale and its awesome.

Re: So when will the rap fad go away?

Ya...I liked Ice T....I liked Public Enemy and Eric B. like I said. I bought the NWA single "dopeman" on 12", the one with about 15 gangstas on the cover in some alley with 40's lying all around. I can dig old school, I bought the Deep Cover soundrtrack just so I could hear Snoop say "147 on a Mother F@#$!)* coooooppppp!( I think it was 147, maybe 187.....sorry Im old)

LOL! It's 187 man.

Re: So when will the rap fad go away?

Actually I do like some of the Wu. Off the top of my head, Tribute, Gravel Pit, M.e.t.h.o.d M.a.n., and another one I know I'm missing. Now I was never hard core Wu or anything....Now the Beastie Boys Im totally down with, from Licened to Ill to the 5 Buroughs. I dont know if their still considered Rap.

What you see on MTV/BET these days shouldn't even be considered rap.

Hip-hop is alive and well, you just have to search for it.

Candy Shop, Just a lil' bit. That ish is R and B IMO.

Re: So when will the rap fad go away?

Laettner, I'm the same way as you though. I hate damn near every thing that's out today. My iPod is fully of hip hop from late 80's and the 90's. I really don't even buy any of the new stuff that comes out. i'm still a huge Outkast fan and I heard one of their singles for their new album on the radio the other day and it is hot! I can't wait until it releases. Kast is one cd that I know i'll alway like and will pick up on release day. No matter how many years go past, Big Boi and Dre pretty stay true to the same formula.

I would have to agree. Unfortunately where I work, they have the radio on all day. Its either on one of four stations 1) Oldies/Classic rock 2) "modern"/classic rock 3) Top 40 4) and another Top 40 station. The top 40 stations are filled with R&B stuff in my mind. I haven't heard very much, if any, rapping on those stations now that I think about it.

Rap is here to stay.

And the good rap is better than most of anything else out there. Good wordplay, good flow, and a beat that makes you nod your head.

Re: So when will the rap fad go away?

Cool SoMiss...so who do else do you think I would like today. I dont trust any top 10 charts. So I guess thats kinda what this thread comes down too, who can I listen to today, that I wouldve liked....yesterday?

I wouldn't say its better, but "just as good as."

Re: So when will the rap fad go away?

I dunno what exactly are the top 10 rap hits right now but I bet don't like any of them besides T.I.'s "What you know about that".

Re: So when will the rap fad go away?

According to Blender, the hottest rap traxx are Ridin' by C'naire, T.I.(what you said), touch it by B. Rhymes, so what by field mob(sounds like a rap group), and ms. new booty by b. sparxx/yy twins.
