HipHop -- (No, I am not joking)

[SADERR]

Just curious if anyone else here listens to hiphop/rap.
I sorta got into it from my endeavours in graffiti, and it just sorta stuck.
So, do you like it or hate it?
What bands/artists do you like/hate?


Artists/Groups I Like

Gang Starr
Typical Cats
Eminem
Let's Go To War
Tonedeff
Rick The Ruler
KRS ONE


And not so much...

Soulja Boy
Lil' Wayne
50 Cent
..Almost every other mainstream rapper


So, what about you guys? Any hip-hop fans in this community?  

[the_forgotten_thought]

haha, people always get so shocked when they borrow my mp3 player and hear tupac after otep. i was worried i was the only goth who liked hip hop!

i like eminem, tupac, and immortal technique but for the most part, i listen to songs more than artists. typically, if they have one song i seriously like, they'll have about ten songs that i can't stand.

i'm with you on hating soulja boi and 50 cent. soulja boi is famous for his gay little line dance that EVERY little girl knows, and 50 cent mumbles like a retard.  

[SADERR]

50 cent has no need for most consonants, just vowels. xD
"ay ma, wa u?"

+1
HipHop is the subculture. Focused around Rapping,Breakdancing,Graffiti, and DJing. It's a common misconception.
But I get what you mean, more or less, Angel.

[Teriyaki Tsubaki]

I have a bad overall impression of rap so I don't really listen to it.
Most of the mainstream rap gives the rest of the stuff a bad name because of the crap lyrics and crappier people rapping them
