It was not crap, Rap was pretty much always the same. They just realized that Pop music sells, so why not be greedy and forget our roots and jump on the bandwagon. I think it basically started when The Superman and Walk it out came out. They were sort of rap, but more Dance hits than Rap. After that rap sort of went away. You still have Wiz Khalifa and JayZ and a few others doing it ...sort of...but that is about it. |
Funny that I only recognize Jay Z and I have never heard of the others. Perhaps I might have but I have no clue who they are. The only song I liked from Jay Z was Big Pimpin and that was probably because of UGK (and the beat was decent and Jay Z didn't sound like complete shit).
I'll just list the only rap I ever cared for..
2 Pac, Cypress Hill (Black Sunday and Cypress Hill IV were bad ass), DMX (his first few albums when he came out), Eazy E, Master P (yes he has some pretty shitty songs later in his career but when No Limit first came out they were good, aka Ghetto D), Mystikal (raps fast, almost as fast as Twista), Bone Thugs n Harmony, Three 6 Mafia, Wu-Tang Clan, UGK
2000+ doesn't have shit compared to those rappers.
