And it will until Wu-tangs next album comes out. Then soon after it will blow again.

LOL, yeah, current hip-hop does blow for the most part. But there is still some good stuff out there.

Kanye's new album "Graduation" comes out on September the 11th, don't forget about that.

Ahem

Current hip-hop blows!

What about Nas?

Ok Nas is pretty good, although I haven't listened to him since one mic came out lol. Kanye is alright. But the whole state of hip hop sucks now.
I think it is marketed for 13 year old rich kids now days.

NWA and Wu-Tang have enough tracks to last me a life time. And they don't get old.

Just listening to some Kanser: Inner City, Outer Space.

For all you true heads, you should know this Minneapolis Classic.

Give this song a few listens, and let me know what you think after it sinks in.

Yeah I cant wait for the next WU album comes out!!! But I said it once that shit on the radio they try to pass off as hip hop is NOT hip hop!!!! If I drew nothing but stick figures could I really say that I was better than Picaso? Would anyone say that Kiss and Goo Goo Dolls can be classified as the same type of music? Lil Wayne saying that he is the best in hip hop is a JOKE!!!! KRS-1 said it best "Rap is something you do, hip hop is something you live". You want the recipe for a hit rap song? Here you go: Talk about being up in the club, make sure you mention your diamonds, and the fact that you drive a bently with wagon wheels, and that you sell drugs and carry a burner. That makes you a thug. The difference between rap and hip hop is rap all you need to know is whats cool today, while hip hop takes talent, dedication, usage of vocabulary ( and knowing what those words that you just used means), and ability. Yeah so I can lil wayne saying that he is better than Jay-Z, I mean I'm 5'7" and half that makes me taller than Yao Ming right, I said it so it must be

Oh and I can't forget marrdro's favorite song colt 45. That song is always good for a laugh.

Anyone checked out the new Atmosphere LP.
I like the song "Sunshine"

http://www.myspace.com/atmosphere

Incidentally my favorite Atmosphere song is "Summer Song" if you've heard it.
I think it was just on some obscure compilation CD and not on one of their albums though.
