Me and a guy named Will were cruising the streets getting high as gas while he was driving. This was playing in the car at the time. I was impressed by the bassline. Never noticed it prior to that day because I didn't have much of a stereo system back them. Just a radio and watching it on B.E.T. Good times, though.

What a sad ass thing to think lmao the only reason there’s a common perception of that is Bc of YOU losers. Any actual hip hop head/fan has NO problem finding ENDLESS quality modern rap. You’d get it if you were a hip hop head, that’s why all these legends from back then that y’all say were so amazing STILL MAKE MUSIC and do features with MODERN ARTISTS 😂😂 yall fake hip hop heads take this bullshit somewhere else. Im here compiling my list of the best hip hop break up songs, and I JUST did pennyroyal by joey badass and opposites attract by Kendrick, two MODERN SONGS. Just embarrassing idk how people like y’all think you’re keeping the culture alive El-P (an actual legend from the 90s) has spoken on how people like y’all clearly aren’t real hip hop fans. It takes actual effort to go through the DOZENS of sub genres and scenes over the years for hip hop, y’all look at one teeny tiny scene and era and pretend you’re a hip hop head for overhyping it. Yeah no you know what liking one little scene of hip hop makes y’all like? The KIDS WHO LIKE MUMBLE RAP AND TRAP. You’re closer to THEM then me, Bc I actually ducking listen to BOTH how mindblowing, it’s almost like there’s different types of hip hop for different types of things. You’d actually have to be STUPID to see how the population has almost doubled since the start of hip hop, yet what there’s just no people spitting? There’s 7 billion people on earth but “the essence of hip hop” is LOST. Absolutely pathetic, and if you think I’m being a dick about this it’s totally warranted. Y’all are shitty people, there are soo many young amazing rappers who are doing NOTHING but being unique, original and thoughtful. They bring in influence from old stuff and new stuff, and dudes like Kendrick have a reference to old hip hop ten times every song, and he’s nowhere near the only rapper like that lmao and I don’t even feel like listing the 100s of dope different modern rappers (who by the way not ONE of is a mumble rapper) Bc y’all just do not care about hip hop. Literally what’s the POINT of dudes like Kendrick putting their heart and soul and time and thought into craftin these amazing albums, when people like you are just gonna go “hip hops dead” anyway? Little Simz last album isn’t the essence of hip hop? Billy Woods isn’t the essence of hip hop? Griselda isn’t the essence of hip hop? Fucking 5000 other rappers I can name aren’t? And before you look up one song and go “no this isn’t hip hop” better think about the fact all the legends from this era are fans of acts like Griselda and work with them. But I guess Kool g rap, dj muggs, slick Rick, the lox, EL-P, Eminem, 50 cent, lil Wayne, black thought etc etc etc, all those legends who work with the people I named and clearly don’t think hip hop is dead, I guess they’re all just wrong. What a weird coincidence that no legendary rapper agrees with you that rap is dead now and that back then it was so much realer, it’s almost like only fake hip hop fans say what you said. Then other fake hip hop fans like it lmao and I guarantee instead of taking this opportunity to learn about these artists I told you about, and then using their connections to other artists to find MORE new talented guys, y’all are just gonna say they aren’t real hip hop even though NONE OF THE OGS YOURE SUCKING OFF AGREE WITH YOU. It’s just insane it really comes off like y’all WANT hip hop to be dead. It’s just a fact there’s really no other explanation, when there’s a fucking 100 modern hip hop vinyls that are as true to the essence of hip hop as anything, in my room that I’m looking at right now, it’s really hard to take people like you seriously. You want everyone to just keep paying attention to mumble rap I guess, Bc even though there’s all these amazing albums people are sharing and talking about all the damn time, you choose to ignore it so you can pretend mumble rap represents hip hop. Idk why you would want that to be the case when there’s so many other scenes with huge fanbases but whatever. Honestly just seems like another 14 year old saying how “you remember the true essence back then” but if you were ACTUALLY around in that time you’d remember how in the 90s the first hip hop to get like mainstream radio play was Diddy and mase in flashy suits talking about cars and money. That’s literally HOW the underground scene BACK THEN came about, people like common literally were trying to provide a counter culture to what the mainstream popular rappers were doing. Which is WHAT THE MODERN DUDES I NAMED ARE DOING, but like I said y’all just do not care enough to do the research. All the time you spend complaining about hip hop being dead and you could’ve heard the new billy woods or Freddie Gibbs albums, but like I said y’all WANT hip hop to be dead. There’s no other possible reason to do what you’re doing, it’s literally like watching The Godfather, goodfellas and casino and then saying “why are there no good Italian mob movies The Godfather 1 was the last good one” you know what i changed my mind I’ll even give y’all a bit more of a lifeline. I’ll give you just TWENTY modern rappers that represent the true essence of hip hop, unless you think the “essence of hip hop” literally is 90s boom bap drums in which case you’re not a hip hop fan. Again it takes more then liking one little scene of hip hop to being a hip hop head that’s just what pop rap fans do, listen to one little scene. Anyway here are 20 rappers that you should know about if you want to consider yourself someone who’s interested in hip hop, but somehow just CANNOT find any modern rap that isn’t pop rap. I’m gonna skip billy woods, griselda and little Simz Bc I already named them but they’re three perfect examples of artists from different parts of the world, different experiences and sound/style but you couldn’t for your life tell me how any aren’t real hip hop. 20 OTHER modern rappers just of the top of my head that all have totally different styles and amazing projects are Roc Marciano, Ka, Pink Siifu, Milo, Open Mike Eagle, Ab-Soul, Danny Brown, Kool AD, Navy Blue, Guilty Simpson, Boldy James, Mach-Hommy, Denzel Curry, Quelle Chris, Uncommon NASA, Lil Ugly Mane, Wiki, Elzhi, Jonwayne and Injury Reserve. There ya go now none of you have ANY EXCUSE to ever leave this shitty nothing comment again.

When your sense has that much in common, And you've been hustling since your inception, Fuck perception. Go with what makes sense. Since I know what I'm up against- We as rappers must decide what's most important. And I can't help the poor if I'm one of them. So I got rich and gave back, to me that's the win-win.

Yeah who is mostly directed towards West Coast gangster rap. When hip hop started it wasn't really involved with violence.. NWA ice cube... They was talking about violence in the hood. Common wasn't really doing that like that around that era. He was mainly talking about life but he wasn't really talking about spraying up anybody

I think Common is one of the best rappers ever. Not just lyrically but his longevity is unbelievable. But he never gets that recognition because he raps for the cause and people just see him as a preacher. For some reason you talk some bullshit about killing your community and they love you, but you rap to uplift your people and everyone thinks your annoying. It's all good at least he gets the money he deserves

I love the send up movies of the time," CB4" and "Fear of a black hat." know why? Cos they showed the ridiculous direction rap and hiphop music was taking. fk, i miss the music....i miss it all.
