    Reasons why you hate/love hip hop

    Love

    Freestyle battles

    Breakdancing

    Ridiculous amounts of crowd participation in live shows. I once saw Kool keith in concert and he passed out bags of fried chicken and Hi-C. Dope!

    Beats, ill beats son!

    fresh new slang, pretty much every week

    not so cryptic message in the music, often time really cool/funny refrences to politics, news ect.

    Wa Tang

    Commercialization

    Cashing in. with products and tv commercials

    rappin about material stuff

    Recyle-ability of old material when done well

    Hate
    Weak transparent lyrics
    rappin about 20's and material stuff.
    Puffy
    Ja Rule
    Crappy remixes
    R&B

    ...ever in the continual search of time dilation.

      I dont mind the older public enemy/run dmc stuff. It's catchy and funny and some of it has a message. Alot of the freestylers are really clever. Mos Def. I like the beastie boys too, just for continuing to make good music for the past 20 years.

        I love the Graffiti scene, the break dancers, the freesytles, and just the whole vibe.

        I hate Nelly, P.Diddy, and Nelly.

            heheh, what i find funny is they are still able to cash in on the "gangsta" image. Like pants and shirts, i think this generations have bought/sold more xxl size clothes than any generation ever.

                thats just because americans are fatties. seriously guys, lay off the butter

                i like the bass and beats of some hip hop. i dont like the "average" stuff put out by most artists with generic beats and what not, it has to have something special. see: anything from Classified, "dont know why" by swollen members, "radio edit" by sweatshop union.

                btw those are all canadian artists

                  They use 20 year old songs as samples and the kids think it's new and "fresh".

                  No real "musical" talant.

                      Sounds about right, some hip hop artist destroy some good songs by doing this. I like some hip hop but most of it is just annoying. I can't stand "gangsta" rap. I can't believe someone would write lyrics to a song that are so blatantly vulgar and crude. Whats even worse are the kids who try to emmulate/idolize this.

                        I can only enjoy an intelligent song that actually has meaning. I dont want to hear about how hard it was growing up or how you had to sell drugs cause your *** was to lazy to work instead you decide to raise our crime rate by selling drugs and creating violence.

                        I find that Tupac Shakur had wrote some very meaningful lyrics which I can respect.



                        DISLIKES:

                        They have no instrumental talents (besides the DJ but he's not singing)

                        Its putting down Rock and Roll. Most people are dumb and watch whatever is on MTV and MTV plays Hip/Hop because Hip/Hop still manages to sell albums at record stores, unlike Rock albums where people just download mp3's all day. For this reason hip/hop will always be played on more radios stations and on more tv shows then Rock and Roll.

                        Annoying beat that is on LOOP throughout the entire song

                          I like how hip hop dj's can manipulate the sound of 20-50+ year old songs and make them sound unique and good. If you guys want to hear 'real' hip hop, go download some stuff by DJ Shadow. The man is very, very good.

                          DJ's have a LOT of talent, and until you've done it, I dont think anyone should say they dont. Also, so do MC's. MC's can have a lot of talent, and when you put great MC's w/ great DJ's, you get wonderful results (ie: Jurrassic 5, with Kut Kchemist and all 5 MC's).

                          Mainstream hip hop is catchy, but thats about it.
