how dare you say lil wayne. u must not have a tv cause hes everywhere and soon to be in the movies.

Lil. Waynes got zero talent... IMO.

One of the worst song makers to go along with wack ass lyrics.
But don't worry kingfrnk I haven't liked Rap or Hip Hop for years now.
I used to be heavily into it but that shit died out.

It's not like it once was where Cube, Pac, Biggie, Eminem, Snoop (when he's on), X-Zibit, Wu Tang, Method, Cypress Hill, Dr. Dre, The Fugees,
Big L, Busta, Tribe Called Quest, J5, Mobb Deep, Common, Mos Def, Talib, Warren G, De La Soul, Nas, Bone Thugs, LL, KRS, Beastie Boys etc. etc.

When fucken Hip-Hop & Rap had messages. When songs weren't about going mainstream. When it was gutter and it was about telling your story not trying to make shit up.

That ain't your real car in the video, that's a fucken rent-a-car.
Those aren't your jewels those are some rent-a-jewels.

All the guys I listed above would fucken take a shit on almost every rapper/hip hop artist that's out there today. TI, Lil. Wayne, Juvenille, Lil. John, T-Pain, Soulaj Boy, AZ, Clips, Lupe, Cassidy, Twista, Three 6, Ying Yang etc. etc. etc. Fucken wack ass... Who are just doing mainstream shit.

Hip-Hop rap ain't been the same since possibly 2001-2002...
For me it's died and I haven't bought an album since then. The only worth while ones that I do buy are when anyone of the old school guys drops one.

Here and there, there's been good songs on the occasional album but nothing like before. The only dudes out there is Nas, Jay-Z, Common, Mos Def, Talib etc. etc. but they don't get air play like these other cats who are with stupid lyrics just trying get the single some air play.

WOW Mick! I couldn't agree with you more. Yea, Wayne is hot right now, he got good beats, but his lyrics and rapping style is so childish.

I think hip-hop is in such a bad state. It's all about club banging, lyrics about making money, and a bunch of cocky bullsh*t. Other than the occasional beat that makes me bob my head, I think hip-hop's musicians are long gone or overshadowed by the mainstream rap music..

Right on caleoh, don't get me wrong theres some songs I like here and there but not like before when a whole album meant something.

Kanyes "All falls down" is lyrically one of the best songs of recent times for me. The message and what he says hit's a nerve in everyone if you listen to it. The beat is sick too, so it goes well.
Other then that song outside of his collaboration with Christian Martin from Cold Play on the song "Homecoming" I'm not big on Kanye. But I got mad respect to his song All falls down the 2nd and 3rd verse is as real as it can get.
