It depends on what you call top rappers. A lot of people in the 80's liked Will Smith's music because it was clean. People in their 20's today wasn't around then. The whole family could listen to old school rap and hip hop together in the 80's and have fun. |

Will used rap as a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Whether he was good or not is strictly opinion. In my personal opinion there have been very few good rappers since the 80's. The days of Public Enemy, KRS-1, and Eric B and Rakim are over. Other than Mos Def or Common, I can't listen to any of the crap being put out today |

Exactly, I love some old school stuff. Common, mos def are great examples. But even they have stepped foot into the fucked up trap that media calls rap. Do it to get more listeners because the main base of listeners are fed bullshit. You gotta search to find some good common and mos def tracks. . |

Think about this..... If I goto a rock station on the radio. I will hear shit from all genres of rock from 70s to present. But if I goto a rap station, I hear that bullshit. The current day bullshit that will played over and over and over again until that artist brings new shit out. We don't hear all brands of rap from different time periods or topics |

A lot of the rappers are nothing but sellouts they don't care about the good of the race, they only care about putting money in their pockets. Those are the worst kind of black people in our race. |

You're right. It's just market demand. |

It's sad man......... And hip hop is so much more than shitty rap about how many racks on racks you have with a naked bitch dancing on it. But that's all that's played On rap stations. All while rock is so varied..... The good positive rappers get no exposure |

No, Tru. It's not market demand. It's thought control, which focuses on the fact that Black people have the largest, most colossal, attachment to music than any other Americans. If you ever get a chance, just research the 2004 Payola case vs. The Big4 Record Labels in U.S. District Court. M-tv, B.E.T., Clear Channel Communications, all the music industry's shakers and movers were on-trial. Reason? The real elements which drives music's exposure and popularity, in America, so believe me when I tell you that you'll be surprised to find out that market demand has absolutely nothing to do with what you hear coming out of your radio. Yep, Tru. It's another instance where we've been poisoned by fairy tales. Edited by The SOLE Controller, Sep 25 2013, 09:16 AM.
