M.I.A. wtf
dat aint rap...european hiphop aint rap..their strong weird accent class them in their own genre.

 

 

just because it isn't american doesn't mean it isn't rap....those songs I posted to lean more towards hip-hop, but if you listen to her CD, its about half and half, and I was pointing out a current artist that doesn't rap about utter horseshit.  If people can toss up T-Pain and Kanye without getting bitched at, because they are technically not rap either, then I can post M.I.A. 

 

 

Kanye West is a rapper he just did that one r&b album. T-Pain is a singer but he does alot of hooks for rappers. M.I.A. is just whack.

 

 

no offense, but I (and a few other folks on here) would rather listen to the following moreso than any Rick Ross or T-Pain song.  BTW, whats up with the damn robot voice that all rappers have now.  I think we'll have to agree to disagree about whats "whack" and what isn't.

 

Blame T-Pain.
