Ok now I discovered some great rappers. Where? On a video game, True Crime Streets of LA. Pomona City Rydaz and Booya Tribe. Fantastic stuff, but I never see them on TV while I have to see the crap I actually do see. It's strange how all the talented ones are not noticed.

because most of the stuff out today isnt real rap...its commercial rap...and none of its good. In fact most rap sucks these days....especially when someone likes the song because of the beat, and the song has no real message.

I kinda disagree with that, alot of people feel the beat more than they do the lyrics, who wants to go up in the club and listen to lyrics? u wanna feel the beat, maybe a catchy chorus, yeah commercial it may be, even the greatest rappers make catchy beats and drop the meaningful lyrics, because they dont know that they arent gonna be as appreciated as the meaningful shit.

Im not sayin i dont like a deep rap tune or appreciate someone that can spit amazinly, i aint sayin that. But ive grown up round rap music, not american, mainly UK stuff, and alot of the UK MCs out there, are better "MCS" than what the americans are, but too be honest, id rather hear the beat, because sometimes that takes as much talent as writin the rhyme
