So you're a fan of MJ because he makes great PB & J sandwiches? Everything he has done has been basketball or through basketball.

So with those bands, it would be safe to say that you like that particularly genre of metal/rock or whatever is classified? I just think you meant to say you don't like the today's definition of hip hop and its culture, not so much the whole genre of music. Rage against the machine for instance....the guy is damn near rapping in ever song thrown up against a metal sound....which stems from.....(jeopardy music) What is hip hop.

Celebrities make PB&J!?!?!? So they are regular human beings, huh who knew. I think he's a fantastic athlete, doesn't mean I have to keep up with stats, trades, and watch actual games. Though I will watch a game when at a bar or friends house... that's something right?

Yes, you are correct, I have lost interest in Hip-Hop. I use to love Hip-Hop, but having conquered struggling to carve out a place in the music world, and bringing the untold stories of the streets to the masses, Hip-Hop has turned into a Pop-centric, ABC rhyming style, Auto-Tune overusing, commercial medium to promote bling and other worthless products to advance their own pockets, instead of creating art. BTW, I don't consider ALL Hip-Hop artist to be this way, just the vast majority.

You are also right, I do like that genre of Rock&Roll as well as most all other genres. I mentioned those bands specifically, as they mix their styles with Hip-Hop and other influences, are unique, and/or speak directly against what "Today's Hip-Hop" stands for 'Commercialism".

Now anyone up for watching some dancing monkeys...

For those lacking multi-faceted forms of humor, that above statement is a metaphor for the "entertainers" who produce the material their Corporate Machine wants for the masses to consume. Not a racial statement, though I am not above making racial jokes toward any and all races. It's only fair after all... :-) Boy, it doesn't seem half as funny having to break it down, so as not to make anyone virtually whine or cry.

[kilakali]

Could a person not be a fan of Micheal Jordan for his accomplishments in life without being a constant viewer of the various sports he has played? I, like OutKast for their daring approach to music, wide use of live instrumentation, unique lyrical prose, lack of commercialism, and fresh take on a musical genre. I also like Rage Against the Machine, Tool, the Deftones, and Fear Factory for those same reasons... now Testify!!

I believe she's 6'1" not 100% sure though.

You are correct she is 6'1. I just spoke with her.

I must agree you said there Hiphop has slow been going to more a corporate state ever since Tupac said to sing for the ladies, and ever since then majority of the music has been what to put in clubs instead of making music that the artist has actually put something into. This is not for all of the artist, but now days it seems that this is all I hear. So I listen to more Rock&Roll then Hiphop now for those reasons.

If all you listen to is the radio, your opinion is justified. XM satellite radio used to be more true to what hip hop really was, but since the merger with sirius,they have watered down their music too.

Let's face it, men who listen to hip hop do not actually buy it. I myself would only buy albums from about two artist that I support, everyone else - I'll wait to burn a copy.

So in order to make money off hip hop, you have to target the BUYING AUDIENCE which is in large part WOMEN (and the white hip hop heads). Women will buy an album. Thus is why you have every rapper trying to make R&B songs or songs with a dance to compliment it. The hottest song out last summer was "Lollipop".....Wayne went platinum in under two weeks off that song. Thats what makes money and thats what the record execs push, not so much the artist. This summer, same artist except the song is "Every Girl".....same formula people. The music is not geared towards males. If you want to see his true talent, you have to get the mixtapes. You cant rely on mainstream albums to form an opinion. Due to the fact that the audience that kept hip hop close to its roots are not really showing their buying power anymore, you get what you get these days and its just a stereotype of the culture and music. That's like me saying that all Rock and Roll sounds like Limp Bizkit. I listen to rock too, so it's a huge misunderstanding to group hip hop just because you don't like it, feel alienated or don't understand it. Yall are undermining the whole art form just because you have a narrow point of view.

As someone who not only listens to hip hop and rock, but also personally knows some artist, The same thing you guys are saying about hip hop is said for most rock bands by other rock listners. For every "good" band you know, I know many fans and writers who say they were better in the begining of there career. All popular music is just that, popular. Don't get mad at hip hop because you! dont support MF Doom, Hi-Tek, Talib Kweli, Buckshot, Killa Mike, Slim Thug, And the like. there is plenty of good music out, But like all good music you have to want to find it. If you just lay back and turn on the radio, then you want to hear music industry songs. And thats what you get! Radio is a revenue based business, As is the music industry. If you want to change it, you have to do it the same way it got to be how it is today, with your wallets.

And how the hell did a thread about bonita's ass turn into this!?! WOW!!!
