The commerical and mainstream scene of US rap/hiphop obviously focus more on "bitches and money" but a lot of hip hop over there still talk about real issues with the old school feel to it. They just don't get much attention through television and radio but tbh that's not a big problem in the US. Look at Tech N9ne for example. Dude is a legend for what his been able to achieve with out the "machine" behind him.

Machine being a major record label, exposure though tele, radio, etc for god knows how many years now.

I haven't really listened to french music lately but I'm sure there are some good artists and gems to discover over there. You just have to been searching. ;P

haha trust me when i tell you french rap is dead, that mean it's really dead. i've been a real french rap junkie, i was listening to every new shit. for example sexion d'assaut i knew them like 2 years before they release their first album. They were fucking hardcore back in the days.
some are still trying to act gangsta and all, but yeah their lyrics are fucking whack. they just say stuff like "fuck the police, we are real, come test me, blablabla".

i know rap US. Even when they want the lyrics aren't deep, except few exception like NAS ( illmatic ) and Eminem ( that guy is simply a lyrical genius )

What Jin said....

You're only paying attention to what is popular

Not even talking about him really

I don't know them that well but there are many kinds of hip hip, neo soul, trip hop, etc.

Just saying that your generalizations aren't entirely true and what you described in French hip hop exists here as well.

But unfortunately that kind of rap is not really acknowledged in the US while it's the opposite (well used to) in france. Now we live in a period where people says Lil Wayne and Jay-Z are the best rappers

It's not necessarily mainstream, no. But bands like The Roots or Wu-Tang get the respect they deserve.

i agree the roots and wu-tang managed to get recognition. But Now if they do new stuff i'm pretty sure it won't sell

Selling or not doesn't mean shit to me

true but its sad when some good artist don't sell, and stuff like bieber and gaga get the platinium. no wonder good music is dying

 

[Bugzee]

So let me get this straight...


If Soulja Boy tellem mudafuka is selling shit loads of albums (say 40,000 a week) and someone like Lupe Fiasco is doing badly (say 3000 albums a week)...that automatically means Lupe is shit and Soulja Boy tellem mudafucka is dope!?

 

[scav]

dafuq? i said its sad that good artist don't sell. dont give me that shit lol

 

[Bugzee]

Hmmmmm. Maybe you did.

 

[scav]

[Bugzee]

I don't believe you.

I bet you got yourself a bieber cd.

...and you bought gaga's new perfume.

 

[scav]

[Bugzee]

Nah. I do confess though that gaga's perfume ad is quite interesting.

 

[scav]

[Bugzee]

Yea. It won't hurt to watch a short commercial of Gaga Fame. XD
