Comparing Hip hop to rap

The Realest Killaz- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cq1X2e7g3U - The song starts at about 1:00. Actually pull out the lyrics and compare them, If you know anything about hip hop you can see a big difference.

 

Nas is well known to people that know about real hip hop but not to the people that live on Wayne's dick all day. But yea both Lupe's and Nas's CD's were good.

 

Yup. Ive seen some of waynes song and half the time i don't understand what he's saying and the other half is like.. what is he rapping about?

 

Yea, he sounds good. (Nas)

 

since your talking about nas.. heres a couple "newer" songs of his

Hero is on the same album as posted above and Hip Hop is Dead is from his previous album.

 

Tbh though, I only listen to hip-hop/rap because of the beats, not the rhymes. Their rhymes are generally shit compared to inner-city poetry anyways, and it doesn't really take much skill to put those rhymes to a shitty beat. I like Lil Wayne because his rhymes are retarded, but his beats are so good haha. I don't mind real rap though, I just don't prefer it to metal. Nas/Lupe are pretty good too, IMHO (which doesn't mean much).

 

Are you serious? How do you listen for the beats? You can make your own beats or listen to jazz for that.

Incase you guys didn't know what Hip Hop is:

"Hip Hop is more than music, Hip is the knowledge, Hop is the movemement"
-KRS-One

Nas's new album is alright. I prefer illimatic. He's just one of the few holding down real hip hop right now

He raps about taking money up the butt. No Joke.

 

your view on wayne will completely change after you listen to his song "real life" it def changed mine but you kno he still has those songs that dont mean shit lol

 

This Lupe song Hurt Me Soul I've had on repeat. Good find bro. Good example cause I haven't heard him before

 

Im not trying to be a a-hole towards lil wayne but i cant understand. My life is a good examplem I tried looking for lyrics but couldnt find any for that song.
