i didnt quote that because he said he likes eminem, if he thinks eminem is good there aint much i do about that

but he made quite a contradiction by saying he detests "the commercial shit kids listen to" and then lists eminem and casual brothers as true hiphop and good artists.

i agree with him that kanye west sucks though, but why even mention him in a thread about true hiphop?

The Herbaliser
Roots Manuva
EL-P
People Under The Stairs
Dj Shadow
Dj Krush

Can't think of any more atm.

Talib Kweli is performing at my university in a few days

and what? people have different opinions. eminem is a talented guy, like it or not.. i cant stand his voice but hes a very good lyricist. his latest stuff is funny, hes incorporating humour into his tracks instead of just boasting on about bling bling, hoes and rides, fair play to him, hes having a good time, i enjoy some of his recent tracks, they are quite entertaining!

YO YO YO my bruthas tru hip-hop can only be created by black people. Hip hop is for the black people. What you hear are a bunch of whitewashed niggies who sold out for a mansion and lots of money. They are confusing lots of listeners with thier messages of greed and women hatred. Hip Hop is meant to be poetry of life and how rough/beautiful it is. Kinda like emo but not reallly all the time bitching about life.

says you? his recent stuff is shit when he tried to go all political and anti-bush. he writes about some nonsense. everyone i know who was heavily into him hates him which is dozens of people, so i think that might say something.

same thing with his "just lose it" video where it was banned from BET and people were protesting against him for his "tasteless low-blow to Micheal Jackson".
