Haha yeah the sarcasm was about them being good... they ARE very real, unfortunately.

I, for one, applaud Nelly's "Air Force One" (song about shoes) because it doesn't speak of killing, fucking, stealing, or anything else like that. It's meant to be a fun tune, and I kinda like it.

On that note, I recently made a mix from some rap song into Stage One (slowed waaay down of course). The lyrics are like "Unh... yeah... and then he's all... Abandoned... in deep space"

lol... what is it like?

Shoes and hoes
Shoes and hoes
You want me inside of you?
Then I shall be on top

Shoes and hoes
Shoes and hoes
You want me inside of you?
Once I'm in, you won't stop

(yay, I'm the ghetto tech king )

7:30 AM, Alerted to life by a song on the radio
The evening is over
Another morning, another opportunity
To do something progressive prove that he's worthy
Up and out the door by 9 O'clock
The sun is shining up and down the block
There's children in the corner waiting for a bus
That will take them to school and exploit their trust
He starts the car, sparks with one crank
It's those good ol' fashioned American mechanics
And even though he'd rather own a new import
It's dependible and more important its all he can afford
Stops by the coffee shop to pick up some smokes and a cup of Joe
Back into the Ford with the windows rolled up
So when the radio rocks he can sing along freely
With the lights out it's less dangerous
At the top of his lungs the words burst through shameless
Pushing that dream, trying to beat the time
Oh well whatever nevermind
Nothing else matters when your knifing through traffic
Wishing it was a stickshift, it's an automatic
Listening to the road, voice of the nomad
How he'd love to leave drive away never go back
Wheels keep on turning, turning turning and turning
Alone is when he finally feels like a person
Light another Nat Sherman
Crack the window, feel the wind blow

Serenity tenfold
God bless whoever invented sunglasses
And while your at save the saints that work the fast food drive throughs
Objects are closer than they appear
Cuz when your by yourself there ain't one else to lie to
Talk radio gets a lot of play in his vehicle
It teaches him topics to dicuss with real people
So when he stops to get gas or hit that coffee shop
His neurotic ass can act like he knows a whole lot
Pour some sugar on me, my counterfeit personality
He's a loner gotti, he's a rebel
He's gonna drive the escort to the middle of that meadow
Thinking about how he can leave this city
Fill the tank and towards the water he'll flier
Maybe he should just go get a picture at the CC
And find a stool at the bar where he can stare at the TV
Either way tomorrow will be just like today
And that's all it takes to make the change
He loves to drive more than he loves being alive
And this town doesn't even know his real name

It goes bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove the Ford to the border to disturb the order
If only that he'd know that he wouldn't be missed
Maybe then he could have grown to exist
(repeated till the song fades)

real hip-hop... sometimes I don't understand why some TA's just can't chill the fuck out and respect each genre of music. If you don't know anything about it, just DON'T SAY ANYTHING. Ya know how pissed you get off when someone calls Scooter trance? Yeah. They don't know shit about trance, so they should shut up. If you don't know shit about hip-hop, shut up.

well said man!
i'm picky about my hiphop even tho i dont listen to enough of it
thing is the "commercialized" hiphop industry there DOES have alot of incredible beats in it, even if the lyrics suck a$$... call me a mainstream wh0re almost... =/

btw what song is that?

and the beat become one.

Oh, and to set the record straight. I used to listen to rap. I own all of DMX's CDs, the first Puff Daddy CD, 3 Busta Rhymes CDs, Drag-On, Juvenile, Jay-Z, Bone Thugs, Eminem & more.

The scene today is obviously shit...one of rap's greatest pioneers, Timbaland, seems to think so also. Last week he announced his retirement, saying that he is not happy with the current state of music.

Some of these newer artists need to remember that rap/hip-hop is driven by lyrics...not some "dope beat".

*NOTE* Only rap I will still listen to is X, Em, Bone & Nas. Plus, I'm starting to gain interest in Outkast (their new material is great from their CD that isn't released yet), The Roots and Talib Kweli.
