Damn this thread got big... I stopped listening to Hip Hop a while ago mainly because everyone is talking about money, hoes, etc. and i find all that stuff overrated and repetive when everyone is rapping about it. Also the new songs with the catchy phrases that people keep singing is just so damn annoying IMO. Last time I listened to Hip hop was probably when Thugz Mansion was on the radio. Gotta love Tupac, his lyrics were mostly about the harsh realities of life and it brings me up when I feel down. Bone Thugz did the same although Tupac is my fav. rapper of all time. Just my lil peice of opinion.
