Nah . . . probably not.
Even young Drake once said that . . . 'hiphop is a children's hobby'.

I got married on Saturday and still on honeymoon [size=15pt]I discovered a soulful mc called "SHAD" (Shadrak Kabango) on monday[/size]. It doesn't look like I'm going to stop listening to Real HipHop forever and ever and ever (amen)

Come to think of it .    .     .      .  REAL HIPHOP IS NOT FOR KIDS am I wrong?

hax:

if only you muhfuggas paid attention when i post threads about rappers you should listen to.

i posted a thread about him a long time ago. i keep posting threads about dope mcs and no one bothers to listen. your loss!   lol

Brownteeth:

@bouzymill. What do you consider as REAL HIP POP? Enlighten me please.

bouzymill:

brah!!!! it's cool you rep the realness.  .  . i don't know about your previous post. though i can see it now but.  .   . to me, discovering artists who make my kind of music is even an art to me. I dig just like the way Producers dig for samples and I love doing it.

I've got the two Shad's albums (The Old Prince and TSOL) and since I discovered both Rose garden has been my favourite. It's cool you listen to real hiphop too.  .   . and i'ld usually watch out for your reccomendations. .  .

Mehn!!! there's this kinda argument in some quaters that there's nothing like "real hiphop".  .  . their defence is Hiphop is Hiphop. However, what most people call hiphop today is not the "real" hiphop.  .   .  it's better to add that adjective "real"  to lay emphasis.

BUt the question what is real hiphop? bruva. . . I can't explain like that. All I know is when I see real hiphop, I know it.  .  . maybe that's not too clear, that's what I can do for now.  .  .

hax:

@eldee be quiet jor lol

were you not the one praising jay-z's 'new direction' on BP3? people aren't rapping about what they used to. it's now even worse. drake sings about his hoes, weezy about his money AND hoes, minaj about her a-ss and pu-ssy,  etc etc
you get the point. mainstream hip hop has gone down the drain lol

bouzymill:

Well,   maybe the kind of hiphop drake does is for children, maybe.  .  .

hax:

I like 'Voice of an angel', 'Get up', 'Yaa I get it', 'I don't like to', and 'Lucky 1's'.
Shad is too sick.
Nah, he has 3. 'The Old Prince' wasn't his debut. He had one before that. it's 'When This Is Over'. Dropped in 2005.
Haven't heard it yet though.

hax:

sneak peek. the next one's Blu.

hax:

not in the mood to start thinking. but for a start, 'real hip hop' involves more rapping than singing.

eldee:

I praised Jay-Z's attempt to force hiphop to grow up . . . your point is??

And everything Weezy or Nikki say now is soft compared to what they rappers used to do in the past.
Mainstream hiphop has gone down the drain?? Oh yeah, Snoop Dogg is more mature than Drake and yeah Lil Kim is an angel compared to Nikki.

At the end of the day it's simple . . . will I be listening to hiphop at 50?? Nope.
I'd prolly still be a fan of U2 and The Script though, definitely dropping Arsenal at 30, I don't wanna die of HBP.

P.S The four Drake works I have don't have anything about hoes, dunno what one you're listening to.

You don't listen to Drake. . . he's more of a grown up Usher Raymond that raps.
His main themes are his struggle towards success and how it conflicts with his old life, his past relationships and just his emotions.
That, in my opinion may be kinda childish . . . but more mature than most of the rappers you see around old and new.

He even left most of the money talk at Comeback season.

the important thing is in their prime they made better music. but that's beside the point.
there were cats like guru and jeru the damaja and scarface and nas and mos def and talib kweli and common sense in the mainstream trying to make sense and sound matured. compare 20 year old nas in '94 and 18 year old havoc in '95 in 'the infamous' to 20 year old B.o.B and tyga.
sh-it is real son, word is bond. lol

I just want the money, money and the cars, cars and the clothes, the HOES, i suppose. . .
and by hoes, i also mean proposals to nicki minaj, songs about his ex's who are 5'3 in height, the best he's ever had, etc. nahmean?

how do you sound 'matured' then? that's exactly how to sound matured, if done correctly. maybe drake isn't doing it correctly.

really?

'money just changed everything, i wonder how life without it would go'

You know, that's the very first line on his very first album.

Bamsyle.:

Most 50-year olds would most prolly listen to some types of Rap for relaxation/enjoyment . . . they'll prolly want the typa Rap that's devoid of cussing, swearing and uttering sheer profanities

Bamsyle.:

What thots would most prolly dominate a 50-year old's mind?? Relaxing at the beach, hanging out with friends once a while . . . generally living a good life in retirement.

Take your time ooo


@Topic
Yea i prolly still will, still do, always will
I'm already eclectic with my music so everything's still gonna be on the same page.

iice:

Take your time ooo

eldee:

Or they could just listen to Coldplay, U2, Marvin Gaye and people who spent their careers making music for grown ups.

Bamsyle.:

Yes, and Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder . . . even Asa . . . unfortunately these are not rappers

eldee:

There's not statute of Parliament that says every black man has to listen to people talk over repetitive beats at 50.

Bamsyle.:

The topic is Hip Hop . . . and the main thrust of my argument is about why any 50-year old would wanna listen to Rap Music . . . comprende??

eldee:

And I'm saying . . . why go into all this hard work when you could just get an Asa album.
