Caution. Kids at Play: Have We Outgrown Hip-Hop? (Commentary) | BallerStatus.com

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

ive definitely outgrown 98% of it. There are a few quality artists out there though, but they are usually few and far in between unfortunately.

 

[The Real]

I rarely check for hip-hop anymore. I can tell you the names of many of the new artists, but I don't know a single one of their songs or lyrics and honestly, I don't even care to find out.

There's a lot of blame to go around. Record companies and audiences have a mutually-reinforcing relationship that's ultimately harmful to the listener.

This, think the only rapper I still check for is Nas. Whatever I do listen to it's from back in the day. But I couldn't name you one popular song thats out today, makes me feel old

No i listen to adult hiphop. When you're hiphop you'll always be in the loop. There are a ton of great artists out right now.

from time to time i turn on the actual radio vs my own shyt and that only last about 1-2 minutes. I swear it's literally like garbage coming over the airwaves.

There are only so many songs about "clubin" or having some dude talk about how swagged out he is because he can buy cars.

gtfo my lawn!!!

What rappers do you listen to in your private life?

How about listing some of these "adult hip-hop" artists for the benefit of the people?

[GetInTheTruck]

Yep.

i'm a little more eclectic than just hip hop but typically it's older stuff, mostly conscientious things.

Mos Def, Talib, (blackstar), Crown City Rockers, Little Brother, some Nas, some JZ, the Lox (we are the streets has a place in my heart), Dilated Peoples, Del The Funky Homosapien, Souls of Mischief, Fugees, Gangstar, Big Pun, Pac, Biggy, Jay Electronica, J5, Wu Tang Clan, Aesop Rock, Grimm, Non Prophets, J-Live, Madvillian (MF Doom & Madlib), Afura, Big L, Company Flow(most of El-P's groups/stuff), DMX (just his first 2 albums), Eminem (some of his stuff), Jedi Mind Tricks, Dan the Automator in his various ventures (deltron, Dr. Oc, etc), Heiro, THe ROots (forgot to add them )
.

You know, the essentials

I do listen to damn near everything but country. Spanish music, both contemporary and more traditional, some classic rock and some alternative/new stuff (i like blink 182 , same for Nickleback and acts like that.)

If feel soul in sound i'm all over it.


Mostly Pre 2008 things i'm finding....

You're filling your mind with too much demonic thoughts listening to those musical artists. I think you could stand to ween yourself off the demonic filth and allow more positive artists to be listened to more the the demonic ones, friend.

Enlighten me as to the non demonic music you listen to so that i may expand my horizons.
