Cilvaringz stand up please....lol

anyone that grabs a mic in america that isnt from the east coast should be shot. thats some shit emceeing right there.

What kind of bullshit is that?......There are some amazing mc's from all over the states, that kind of statement makes me think you don't know anything about hip hop and at 26 you should know better.

Dude there is so much more.......

From the south I would recommend looking into:

Outkast
Cunninlynguists
Devin The dude
Goodie Mob
Scarface/Getto Boys

West:

Jurassic 5
Psycho Realm
Cypress Hill
Delinquent Habits
Funkdoobiest..........This is all I could think off but there are so much more that are worth your time, trust me all these groups have some great music, don't sleep you won't regret it.

Outkasts I dont like i heard like 3 of their albums, Cunninlynguists i heard an album of theirs like a year ago didnt like it, scarface amd goodie mob no thanks. Cypress had a couple good songs nothing fantastic. Jurassic 5 i cant stand. Funkdoobiest no disrespect but you might as well through in the Boo-Yaa TRIBE. Seriously dude remember back to 1992 few years either side of that year New York reigned supreme and hip hip was good. There was some other people rapping but fuck it wasnt even a drop of milk in a cup of coffee. And it was fantastic, thats the music that i grew up on in my best years. Now days i look at these kids and they getting polluted by this shit music. Even effects how they dressing whut their morals are. To me its got to the point where it aint even about the music anymore its about wearing something fly, driving something with the wheels spinning, or spending a months paycheck on a piece of fucking jewellery. Turn on the tv music channel now there'll be some bitches dancing in the background with someone flashing their rocks and possible drinking champagne. What the fuck that got to do with hip hop? And that shit aint really start popping of till west coast and dirty south got involved in this shit yeah yeah yeah you probably wanna say something like LL dancing in silver suits yeah yeah fucking look at where it really took of west and south. There maybe some underground artists in the south that i aint heard and some guys in the west that are holding it down but their mainstream shit is killing hip hop IMO. Mainstream back in mid early 90s was Black Moon, Brand Nubian, Fu-Shnickens, Wu-Tang, Keith Murray, Del, Redman doing dope dark conscious rap. Mainstream nowdays does your chain hang low....lean with it. drop with it. All this shit coming from the south and west.. Thats whut i mean

^^^Now I know you don't know hip hop, you compared Funkdoobiest to Booya Tribe? they sound nothing alike so thats a false statement. but what the most obvious mistake was mentioning DEL in the context that he was new york when people know he is westcoast..........there where so much wrong with what you just posted but right now im not going to get into it because thats for another thread but people like yourself don't help when Im trying to make a point here. When people certain people read your post they are gonna jump all over you for being so ignorant.

Yes you can, and if i'm right he might be even in most of your Top 10 lists. Slick Rick also MF DOOM has something European in him.

I don't count neither of them as european, slick Rick moved to america when he was 7 which pretty much means he was raised american, being part of a country is more than just being born there, you had to have been raised there to gain it's culture.

Someone here said "i hate all foreign accents"....um lets get somethin str8 here, if u speaking ENGLISH in your country of America then YOUR accent is foreign lol....its not a big deal but you can easily rebuke ignorance with more ignorance...you speaking the english that came from Britain, that was brought to the lands ravaged by your forefathers.

people that get pissed of wit UK accents are probly talkin about the "cockney" style which im not really feelin' myself but u obviously havent checked other peoples work on here, no one i work with raps cockney we rap str8, and theres a hunger here which is lost in mainstream hip hop in the states, with their materialism..

America is the birthpace of hip hop and its king...all the best MCs have come from US (apart from slick rick) but that dont mean 20 years later thats still the case, when i was in NY 3 years ago, all i herd bumpin from car speakers was Usher and Lil Jons "YEAH!" WHEN DAT TUNE WAS OLD NEWAYS, i heard NO real hip hop, and i was there for 2 months, the radio played "Lean Back" the whole summer....

when i popped in "only built 4 cuban linx" to the system where i was workin the puerto rican brother was like "oh shit i aint heard this in years!"

so dat ignorance gotta stop, see more of the UK scene before you comment!!!

---

Lol

embarrassing, I hate "Yeah" & "Lean back"

You can download it...or ebay!

In Europe you also can't buy every north american LP in stores.

Is that not the story of ghettos in another country with their own problems? why give a shit?

Poverty and crime is the same around the world, ghettos may come in different shapes and sizes but deep down they are all the same.

Nice question, but unfortunately nobody answered! lol

I don't mean to make myself sound like im musicly recluse because im not I do enjoy lots of different types of music but it has to have some meaning.

I agree with you!

Just wonderin' is all.....

Yeah, there are some europeans out there, who listen to hiphop from allover the world. I have HipHop from South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Africa (Senegal, Mali, Tansania, Nigeria), and also of course EUROPE (Germany, UK, Sweden, Poland, Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Finland, Turkey, Norway) & North America (USA & Canada)

Nowadays I live in Brazil for a while, so I have informed myself about the Rap Scene here. There are some nice artists. Of course you must get all of the stuff of Marcelo D2, I think you know this guy already. He has Shabazz on one of his LP's. Very nice track! If you need help with your search, just ask!

Nice, I don't know all of them, but I love Orishas, btw...(Cuban via Paris!!!).
I also like Mexicano 777 & Vico C.

[QUOTE=the insignificant;652945]and also, why do americans have to give everything a try? if they've heard a few different european acts and they don't like them, why do they have to keep listening to find one that they like?
[QUOTE]

1st, another question:

When you see a movie, and you don't like this one...why do you look another movie?


Okay...know my answer:

If they don't have the opinion, that it is nice, if they get some new stuff, some stuff they like, they should listen to this f**king Dirty South Rap Shit...and only support other americans. I also hate the music of many american artists, but if I don't know an artist, I listen to his music, if I don't like, I don't listen to it a second time and everything is alright!

I think it is the disadvantage of everyone himself, if he don't try some different/new stuff!!!




To all the guys, who don't know sth. about european HipHop, please don't give us your opinions! Thankx
