... a lie.
The majority of the music i listen to is underground hip-hop. this isnt the 50cent/ja rule/chingy bullshit you hear on the radio. I dont listen to songs about cars, hoes, ice, bitches, rims, spinners and cash; i despise that. I listen to the socially responsible, authority questioning, politically active, lyric intensive hiphop.
I'm embarrassed to say i listen to "rap" bc people immediatly assume the worst [ie: 50cent, et al], so im forced to toss the "a bit of everything" lie 
I know this is a fairly retarded thread, but im curious if other hiphop-heads are in the same boat [??] |
We are in the same boat man. I stopped listening to "gansta rap" long ago for the very same reasons. I got tired of guys rapping about how many bitches, cars and money they have because they cut their first album. It's a trend. Whenever somebody first comes out with a record, it's the bragging record. "I got my record deal, along with my hoes, $$$, cars and big ass houses." What a crock of shit. I got so tired of listening to the same drivel over and over again. I don't think I'll ever go back to it.
I listen to jazz and REAL hip-hop nowadays.
