Quote:I really don't get the appeal in most cases, but every now and then I'll listen to something from Snoop that I really like. That will probably draw derision from hip/hop aficionados, and I'm really no expert on the genre. He just has a way of wrapping phrasing around rhythm that appeals to me.
You aren't likely to find many true hip-hop heads that hate on Snoop. He put out Doggystyle, which is probably one of the most loved and critically acclaimed hip-hop albums of all-time.

Quote:J cole. The others are either wack or I Don't care for.
J-Cole is the most generic, boring rap artist I have heard since that dance stuff was popular circa. 2007

As long as hip-hop continues to mash with pop and as long as there's a local rapper selling his music on the street corner, hip-hop will never die.
Hip-hop is like the Green Bay Packers; It'll get bad, but it'll never die.

Quote:That's one strange thing for me, I don't get how musicians can survive anymore, i don't remember the last time I bought an album, song or anything I just run it all off pandora or Iheartradio, IF I REALLY like a song and just have to have it I'll get it off bittorent.
I think it was Tech N9ne who did a interview and they asked how was he making so much money and was popular even though he didnt have a record deal (or something to that extent). He said the money is in touring and merchandise, if you drop an album on a label its really the record label that's eating off that album, you have to do the whole touring deal and sell t shirts and whatnot if you want to make any sort of money.

This guy right here, Mods warning it does have curse words but seeing that the other song had some bad words i don't see why this can't be up.
His name is Alpoko Don

That makes sense, I'm pretty sure we're quickly aproaching the days media isn't even sold in the retail stores anymore. I used to buy movies every week, I can't remember the last time I bought a Blue Ray or DVD, same thing as music it's just SO available online most people (I don't think) bother purchasing their own copy.

I don't think any musical genre ever dies, they seem to peak then regress and repeat.
