Shad K. (Canadian rapper) has great lyrics and is a positive rapper... and he makes me laugh
"I put the smackdown like its rehab/ Make sure that there's no relapse with these cats/ You cowards couldnt rap this dope with a zigzag/ I let my lips drag spittin with some big swag/ It's sad all these wannabes/ Wantin to be Jay, then K-West wannabes/ Star of The Roc, kid ya not Sean Connery/ But like The Rock I'm surrounded by watery/ Flows, still it really don't bother me/ Fake ballers, we game callers like Ben Wallace-in while I breath/ Quality music, gettin quality spins/ Ya'll stay 2nd-rate Chingy's at the Quality Inn/ Now thats a joke to a real rapper/ I could decrease the skill factor and I'd still make you feel wacker/ Aww gee, now you got me cocky/ Cats say "You the illest" I'm like Nah B, Nah B.../ Well okay probly/ But thats because I rap like its my hobby/ And not a jobby-job all sloppy and off-key/ Ya'll mad as March, tryna knock off the top-seed/ I'm in the mix like Roxy/ So hot, he even get props from Neo-Nazis/"

k'naan & doom are 2 of my favs. btw did u know doom was in the group KMD?

Is it alright to actually cut Up Rap (missing C in the front) on this thread I really don't consider it music.

Who cares what you think? Seriously, I just asked another user 'Why the f*ck would you come in a thread that specifically says "Hip-Hop Discussion", and try to bash it?' Same question applies to you! WHY?

Just out of curiosity, what do you consider music? Cause I guarantee you there are PLENTY of people who call you're genre of music crap as well!

Well your right I put a smiley face because I know i was gonna get some flac but all in good fun. But what I consider music is a bunch of guys or gals who sit down and write some lyrics and can actually play instruments and put it together and entertain people who appreciate the talent it takes to DO that!!.
Rather than watching and asking from experience where the group is setting up there gear and have them respond "what Gear" to set up on stage!!! To which I chuckle ok what are you plugging in " oh this tape machine" and then sell out to 1500 die hard fans of pre recorded c "rap" lol that's what happens. I do like Linkin Park they have talent. But to the guys who say" put your hand's up" they got nothin.
Anyway your right I know my son thinks some of my older rock and roll is crap but I do like some of his rock stuff but they are real bands who write real music and play real instruments. And I'm glad that there is music for all and you can enjoy what you wish I just don't consider it MUSIC.

What you hear my be considered "not good", but there are so many talented emcee's out there! You just haven't heard them! There are emcee's who take time and come up with some of the greatest rap albums ever! Nas is the first one who comes to mind as extremely talented! I respect what you listen to, I also listen to Linkin Park! I think that they're very talented! But there are just as many talented emcees out there as well! They may not be as mainstream as all the garbage rappers but thats another story! All rap isn't crap and I can admit that there are a bunch of garbage mainstream rappers! But there are just as many talented emcee's that don't get that radio play! That's what I consider music!!

For example:

Nas
KRS-One
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
Common

Are 5 that pop in my head instantly! But its still rap ya know, so you still may not like it! But those are some very talented emcees! I honestly try not to be closed minded to music! There is music in every genre that I simply cannot stand and I can understand why some people think that a lot a rap is just noise, considering what gets radio play and all! But don't rule out every rap artist because a select few! There are many talented artist that just need to be pushed. And I actually blame record labels for that.....and the dumb teenage fans that buy into it also!

There is a guy from Nova Scotia who is realy good at what he does. His name is Buck 65. On his early albums the credits read all sounds by Buck 65. You hear his stuff and still dont think it's music, than I don't know if there is any hope of changing your mind.
