The likes of Soulja Boy, Birdman etc are not hip-hop and should not be labelled as so

[IrOnMaN]

birdman makes R&B? lmao closest i ever heard him do a girl song is that joint off the Big Tymers album called Gangsta Girl

OMG! I'm not talking about "Rhythim & Blues". I'm talking about "Rap & Bullshit". If you listen to Wu-Tang's "Forever" second CD intro, you'll understand what they mean by R&B rap. It has nothing to do with singing. If that was the case, ODB would be one, but he is not.

[ShaolinDarts]

Nope its definately hip hop

[crds]

LOL@CRDS saying there's no skill in being a retarded loser and writing your name on your sunglasses hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Is that what Soulja Boy did? I believe wack rappers will fade away too. Look at how popular Nelly and Ja Rule were when they came out. Now nobody listens to them anymore except their loyal fans. LOL@Nelly's new song hahahahahahahahahaha. I saw his shitty new video a few weeks ago. Why the fuck is Nelly doing this corny shit now? I ain't gonna front. When Country Grammer song first came out, i was liking that. His first album is decent. Every album he's done after his first has been wack. LOL@Nelly naming his last album Sweat Suit hahahahahahahahahaha. That's a gay album title.

Can you say wack faggot?

Nope its definately hip hop

No, it is not.

.......... someone close this thread

[fortyglock]

Why make all this fuss if y'all know their music ain't real hip hop. Just LET the trl teeny boppers get all wild n wet over soulja boy, n we'll stick with our real hip hop!

END OF THREAD

No, it is not.

Yes it is. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean there should be a new genre invented to declassify it from hip hop to somthing else.

Soulja boy et al are all part of the same socio culture and that culture is known as hip hop.

Due to their lack of knowledge about the whole of Hip Hop culture, many of our world's youth are mistaken in thinking that activities such as: smoking blunts, drinking 40's, wearing a designer label plastered across their chest, carrying a gun, or going to strip clubs, are "Hip Hop". Hip Hop is being portrayed negatively by many artists who work in the element of Rap (emceeing), and this negativity is usually instigated and promoted by the record industry and various other corporations who exploit the culture at the expense of the youth's state of mind and morality. The Universal Zulu Nation believes there is a difference in speaking out about negativity (activism) and promoting it as a desirable lifestyle. Gangsters, pimps, playas, hustlers, niggers, spics, and many other derogatory words once used against us are now self employed in our everyday vocabulary. Our ancestors who have fought and died trying to free us from these sicknesses and slave mentality are probably turning over in their graves! Bambaataa asks you to just think about this, "How in the hell did we turn from gods to dogs?"

Afrika Bambaataa encourages you to do more research about our story, his/her-story, and what you think is your mystery is actually your history. Where are our Hip Hop thinkers, lawyers, holistic doctors, scientists, agriculturalists/herbalists, revolutionaries, politicians, judges, researchers, teachers, police, army, accountants, anthropologists, etc. Where is our own Hip Hop Museum? Many talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Many straight out sell-out to the liberation of our people as well as to all humans on the planet so called Earth! He also encourages you to do research on any Hip Hop organization that deals with consciousness and the upliftment of all people. To all those who purposely make up your own history and lie about the culture- DO YOUR RESEARCH!

d4l and dem franchize boys are snap music (snap yo fingers, lean wit it rock wit it)

and soulja boy is crank dat music (crank dat batman, 360, all the other gay dances that have been invented since it)
