The Current Hip Hop Situation I'm one of the few that doesn't see why DOOM is so great. He bores the shit out of me.

The Current Hip Hop Situation Right now I'm particularly fond of Dangerdoom. I'd even go against the grain and say it's better than Madvillian.
The Current Hip Hop Situation Personally i have to agree that technology plays a huge roll in the development of this genre. There are so many more creative options available to songwriters and producers that ithink we will hear music and new things that have never been done befor. Hip-Hop is not my nuraber one choice in music but the things im hearing are really starting to sound cool (from a producers position) Bond
The Current Hip Hop Situation Ha ha,.....yeah And If they started calling post rock avante garde again that would help too.
The Current Hip Hop Situation Hip-hop is still in a state of finding itself. Like most genres it is very hit or miss. I can understand the desire to for hip hop to return to its roots, but hip-hop is very much evolving into something that will surpass anything we've heard from the genre so far. its best days are yet to come.
The Current Hip Hop Situation I don't think there is such a thing as a genre with no positive qualities. With the exception of screamo.
The Current Hip Hop Situation It's hard to give one generalized statement about where Hip-Hop is today. Of course, the majority of people hear the Top 40 "hip-hop" and that's where most generalizations come from. But there's so many artists out today that are very good at what they do, and keep Hip-Hop alive. (i.e. P.O.S., Dessa, Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, Del The Funky Homosapien, Slug [of Atmosphere], Murs, etc) There's a lot of GREAT Hip-Hop still being made today. You just have to look for it. Nine times out of ten, it will not be on the radio.
The Current Hip Hop Situation yea you'd think with all the world's problems they'd find somethin' good to rap about.
The Current Hip Hop Situation meh not everyone is deep into the world's problems and knowledgeable about it People that say they don't listen to rap because of the lyrics the same argument could be said for whatever music they are listening to. Each genre has artists that don't go into very deep lyrical content.\ Most rappers write songs about things that they know or that's around their immediate self. There are a few that like to be creative and do some story-telling but most mainly rap about where they live and how proud they are that they made it out of where they came from. So if you can't relate the how they used to live or how they are living now then you won't like a majority of their lyrical content. For example , I really like Maino's Debut album because he basically goes through and gives you a story about his life over all of the tracks. He actually starts the album with the first track talking about the end and then on the next track he goes and starts from the beginning.
The Current Hip Hop Situation In general I just don't really care for hip hop, one of the main reasons though is the lack of lyrics with any real meaning to them. However, I picked up the a cd released by First Avenue, which is a music venue up here in Minnesota. The cd consisted of bootlegs record over the past 35 years at First Ave, and one of the tracks was "Woman with Tatooed HanRAB" by Atmosphere, and it's absolutely amazing.
