I think 80's and 90's rap is much better than the rap today.

All they care about is making wack music so it can get played on the radio and sell records. They only wanna go to the club, get drunk, smoke weed, buy expensive stuff like cars, clothes, jewelry and have sex with women and give women their money hahahahahahahahahahaha. A lot of these dudes be bragging about they be pimping women and dogging them but a lot of these dudes be marrying these materialistic sluts and buying them stuff LOL. I miss the rappers from back in the day that had skills like Rakim, Black Moon, KRS One, LL Cool J, NWA, Kurtis Blow, Run DMC, Whodini, EPMD, Too Short, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, The Pharcyde, Ice T, Wu Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Mobb Deep, Nas, Redman, Keith Murray, Das EFX, Geto Boys, Spice 1, MC Eiht, 2Pac, Notorious Big, Poison Clan, 2 Live Crew. Rap back in the day was hardcore. It's too soft right now and it's been soft for awhile. Black radio stations and rap video channels like MTV(BET cancelled Rap City)won't play hardcore stuff and rappers that got skills. That's why i only listen to old rap albums. F*ck these new wack rappers like Young Jeezy, T.I., Little Wayne, Yung Joc, Nelly and all these other clowns that consider themselves rappers. Bring back the hardcore lyrical rappers.

I disagree. People think all rappers talk about nowadays is degrading women, cars & marijuana.

I can name a million songs & a bunch of artists nowadays that have talent.

Nas
Jay-Z
LL Cool J (sucks compared to what he used to be but still is classic)
Eminem
Busta Rhymes
T.I. (and did you EVEN listen to T.I.'s last album? It was so motivational to me)

i agree a lot with what you said, but their are still great artists, you just have to find them above all the above ground pond scum, we call radio artists lol. The Souljah Boys, Hurricane Chris, The Franchise Boyz (lean with it, rock with it etc.)- all F*CKING Horrible- lol. Even Lil Wayne is in this pop genre bullsh*t but I still listen to him. And I like Young Jeezy as well. But I loved all those old school, classic artists you mentioned- I was listening to Whodini "Friends" the other day- I love that song. But I still don't think hip hop is dead. It's definitely nearly not as good as used to be, like you mentioned, but regardless, their are still great artists out their.
