Try listening to a group called Jurassic 5, or their album "Power in Numbers". That’s rap at its finest, none of that commercial "Grab ya crotch, slap ya biotch" crap I can’t stand. When people say they hate rap, they always follow with examples of 50 cent's horrible lyrics, or some rapper who continually puts down everyone and keeps his b-boy image, saying he's oppressed and from the hood, when he has hounded dollar bills for toilet paper in a Beverly Hills mansion.
I can say I love rap, but cant stand most mainstream artists, rap=good, most people associated with rap=bad. Groups like J5 and even Linkin Park emcee Mike Shinoda are real rappers, that don’t feel they have to use the f-bomb every line; and they talk about real issues and not that bling-bling in da club shite. Mike is talented, in fact he is doing a solo album to show off his otherwise restricted skill do to the rock side of his band, check out his album, his guests are a virtual who’s who of underground rappers, featuring one of my favorites, Common. He said himself, he doesn’t want to go with the “Whose hot now” trend, I applaud him for that.
In short, I want to know how many of you actually hate real rap, or like me, love the style, just cant stand most of the people that do it these days.
