Aesop Rock, makes those guys looks wack.

atmosphere is alright if u guys like the underground stuff may be u'd like someone
like Necro or Cage

Necro is OK.. i'm tell you guy.. Aesop Rock is in a class of his own. Get high sit back and listen.

hip hop rite now is like this:
there are these guyz on the block who is always known 2 have dat fiya, that real good shit, that haze that northern lights that kush, those r ur good rappers, now these kids want everything these guy has worked for but can't compete, so they start spraying htheir weed with bugspray, and lacing it with other shit, these are ur fake rappers tryin 2 front what their puttin out as good shit and people have jumped on the bandwagon leaving the other guys on the corner like WTF? but like in the streets, when people realize what the guys who have been spraying their weed (covering their wack hip hop up with gimmicks and repetitive slogans) have been doing they are going to fuck them up and go back 2 the dealers/rappers who have dat fiya, who have been there the whole time but u just had 2 look 4 and still had sum loyal followers, and i personally can't wait 4 that day 2 come

Rap died with tupac, biggie, and the wu-tang clan. What everyone is left with is hip hop and that shit aint worth a damn. Its a bunch of shit with minute long chorus and 10 seconds worth of rapping that doesnt actually rhyme they just say the words funny so it sounds like it works. I had respect for rap in the early 90s but i have none for the no talent punks that make millions for nothing.

IMO, Hip Hop is not dead and will never die...it's evolving as everything does. Many may say it's not what it used to be and that is true. As individuals we tend to like what we like and become set in our ways, but that doesn't mean something you dislike is dead. I do agree that mainstream hip hop is defiantly not my style, some catch my attention every now and then, but that's it. Buy the newest Nas record and LISTEN to the lyrics and tell me hip hop is dead.

My favorite song off Nas's "Untitled"...

Testify.

[Nas Talking]
Wanna dedicate this joint right here
To Johnason, Jackson, and George Jackson
Peace to those brothers
Wanna shoutout my man "sherm the worm"
80 years…
Come home nigga
Come home…niggas…
Uh…

[VERSE 1]
I just burnt my American flag
And sent three cracker Nazi's to hell and I'm sad
Uh, I'm loading tefs in my mag
To send these red neck bigots some death in a bag
Choke him out with his confederate flag; I know these devils are mad
Little rap fans that live way out in safe suburbia
Would you stand with me, a United States murderer?
Huh?

[Nas talking]
Would you testify?
You buy my songs
You buy my songs
But would you ride with me?
You understand my struggle
That's what you claim, right?
Well get your aim right
And get your game tight

[Verse 2]
Don't buy my songs, ya'll don't roll with it
Come into concerts, singing hoe and shit
F**k ya'll little little hoe bitches,
I don't need ya'll, I'll go gold with it
I heard ya'll was downloading it (huh,)
Like I'm ya man who be exposing shit (hehe,)
Like uh, William Cooper, who told you the pale horse is the future

[Nas talking]
Would you testify with some realness like that?
I think you scared (hehe)
I don't think you prepared
Yeah…
You know what I'm asking you?
Do we know what I'm asking you? Hahaha
Wow…
Wow…
