I like this video by TI "Top back remix" it's old but it bangs

not it doesn't. It hangs. And there also wouldn't be a market for this if it wasn't for white trash...
I'm so with "the ar".

thankfully there is still plenty of great hip hop out there, it just requires more crate digging than it used to.

OK, I'm confused. What's Termanology have to do with Young Jeezy?

...and people having been doing that backpack b-boy graffiti rapper stuff since way past I can remember (or at least I was back in the early 90's)

gangster rap has evolved lyrically - if you put a Jeezy rap side by side with say Ice Cube of '91 - well as much as I love Ice Cube Jeezy would take the cup

this backpack I'm tough suburb ghetto rapper style of lyricism hasn't changed one bit -

As a side note, I've been revisiting Soundbombing II and it's true - rap was better in the 90's:

+1 I'm with Adonis on this one, shit got old like 8-10 years ago (even though I liked the new El-P). What Lil Wayne is doing these days is light years ahead of some these real hip-hop "b-boys".

fortunately not a lot. termanalogy can rap. jeezy cant.

like the ar says. real hip hop.

A guy from Macedonia telling the black dude from the states what real hip-hop is.

well this is where we go our separate ways on the subject.

___________________________________________________________________________

on the other other subject of rap was better in the 90's

while I will concede The Beatnuts, Common Sense, Wu_tang Clan (Method man in particular), Tha Alkoholics, the first NAS, Snoop (when he came out the box) and several other MC's all were shining examples of what I would call some of the greatest rap of all time

it was also the first of it's kind

the lyrics were actually starting to flow better, tell more of a relevant story and phonetically touched you more in a real way than say the Sugar Hill Gang did (classic as that is)

but now, especially since the south basically too over, over MC's are rapping better and more fluidly - all content and a beats aside just the actual flow and presentation of lyrics

raps come a long way since 1993

Jeezy's the one who said this...

"...been around the world its the same ol caine / been around the world it's the same ol thang / all the real niggaz either dead or in jail / but if you lookin for me homie I'm in the ATL!"
