yup, you have a right to your opinion, no matter how surprisingly stupid and ignorant it may be.

50 cent sucks, his style is no different than any other bullshit MC. in 2 years you will have someone new. sorry KPL normally I agree, but it sucks.

Yeah exactly and that's the point, 99% of what is out there is rubbish and 1% is good. However, with that being said Hip-Hop is as easy as learning how to use samples and beatboxes. Go ask any Hip-Hop producer out there. That's a joke. Musical ear, lol, actual musical talent in Hip-Hop is like saying fish are talented at swimming in sand in the desert. Read up on how long it takes these cats to produce their albums. ;)

Half the Hip-Hop songs out today sound like MIDI synth with no effects, which makes me believe they were thrown together quite quickly, if you know what I mean. ;)

i agree, though im talking good hip hop here- not mtv or your local mc battle.
even for the mediocre stuff, you still need some skill.
finding those perfect samples alone can take a long time.
though as i said- to jump on a computer, 'stealing' samples and what not, then writing a hip-hop track isn't that hard. its the good stuff that is.
obvious being the likes of shadow, cinematic orchestra, prefuse etc etc. these guys are mega-talented and are throwing their heart and souls into the MUSIC not just learning how to sample or make catchy loops.
song construction is an artform in itself.
and just as in ANY genre of music, 90% of the stuff out there getting radio play is crap.
you sounding like an old grandpa saying hip-hop aint actual music jaz...

You can say what you want, but Hip-Hop isn't really accepted as actual music. It's creative and great outlet, but it's not me putting it in this category.
It's never what most people think anyway, studio wise, white engineers are generally the ones that get the full thick sounding Hip-Hop songs to come out well, not street thugs.
Those guys are so freakin' doctored. Ever hear a live performance of Hip-Hop? Man it's pretty bad I'll tell you that, unless they are mixing in R&B singers in the background that might actually have some true singing talent. Don't care what group it is.
Very few people are doing stuff that's actually going to test time. ;)

- JazX0
with all that crap being said, I still like Hip-Hop and Trip-Hop, virtually the same concept. ;)

Tip was on Gilles Peterson's radio show this week and said it wasn't going to happen. Something about a disagreement with the label. Listen to it here

i like midi... tons of albums are recorded midi, not just rap or hip hop. in fact, a lot of your more popular rock albums are midi drums. Nothing wrong with that, someone still has to play it. nothing 'less musical' about it.
long live tribe!

dude, of course hip-hop is received as actual music. wtf are you talking about?
