akon is r&b and r&b hasnt been god since the 90's
nelly is all about mainstream and making money he's the Tiesto of Hiphop but both have their spots in the genre
t-pain who?!
juelz santana did he release 1 album under rocafella and never have a hit off of it unless he had a cameo with camron?
alright now lets really get specific with top 40
Jay-Z <--great artist
Lupe Fiasco <---great artist
eminem <----used to be great until recently but still probably one of the best out there
nas <---- great artist
50 cent <--------meh dont like him or his rapping style, or what he raps abt andhis image but to say hes not talented would be wrong, since every track he does make turns into a top 10 with some ctachy hook u cant get out of your head
Ludacris <--- not repetitive, tho not one of the best mc's with word play hes still a very exciting and annimated
Talib Kweli <--- greta artist
common <--- great artist
Kanye West<--- not the best rapper but a great producer and is leading a transition in hip hop im totally digging
this list can go on...can yours? |
in 2006, according to billboard, only nas, jay-z, and 2pac (who is apparently still putting out albums...lol) were referenced on the top 100, and they are amoung others who can't hold a candle to them.
and to clarify, i never said the genre was without talent, just that top 40 was lacking it for the most part(like the ppl i mentioned)which is lightyears away from blind genre bashing since in no way did i ever imply that the genre as a whole 'fucking sucks'. vivid, i agree with your list of talented top 40 artists, but you've gotta admit that this goes both ways.
