^ I second what you just said.

Basically, the poeple who posted here who said all rap is about bling bling crap are referring to most of the mainstream hip hop that gets played heavily, unfortunately, on the radio and MTV/BET. There are some good MAINSTREAM hip hop like The Roots, Talib Kweli, and Kanye West (although he isn't that good as a lyricist, he sends postive messages).


Less than 10% of the hip hop I listen to can be called "mainstream." There are a lot of good hip hop artists in what we call the UNDERGROUND, because they aren't on a major label, don't get much advertising, are less reachable, or get very little radioplay.

There's a formula in the "big, bad" music industry. You have to get artists that have some sort of background that makes the audience interested (I GOT SHOT NINE TIME), or they have some kind of appeal, whether it's by their looks, who they partner with (Chingy used to be with DTP), or you grab all the producers who are hot at moment and get them to produce a song on your album.

Yeah, so this thread should really be called Mainstream Rap Haters like someone mentioned already,
