Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm no expert but we have a fairly good roster. Buck 65, Classified, K-Os, Kardinal Offishal, Saukraties(sp) but thats all I know off the top of my head.

Well if you're interested in Canadian Hip Hop I strongly suggest Buck 65.

Talkin' Honky Blues is pretty good or Joyful Revolution by K-Os, it's doing pretty well up here.

I love hip hop... and I can honestly say that hip hop will never die.... just like any other genre of music... this is why it won't die...

as long as there are people that feel like they are being held back by society, hip hop will appeal to those fans... because not all hip hop is about drugs and money and all that crap... thats only the mainstream rap that you hear from commercial rappers...

but there are hip hop artist that talk about real life situations, and they appeal more to hipp hop fans then anything else... thats y people flocked to Eminem... cause his songs are real... i'm not talking about the songs that come out on the radio like "lose it" or "slim shaddy"... i'm talking about his songs that won't make it on he radio b/c they are to real for the radios to play it... most hip hop artist have that as well...

so as long as people feel like they are being held down... or people that don't have it well off in life.. they will take to hip hop... trust me on this one, i kno.. i live in a very harsh city... and i've lived here all my life... and most people in my city listen to hip hop because it appeals to their needs

youre quite right, what happened to the days when "Rock and Roll aint noise Pollution?" The new bands anymore have made it noise pollution albums like "American Idiot," "Young and Hopeless," I used to actually like Greenday but then American Idiot made cover I wanted to kick the corporation in the nuts, in my opinion that album was disgraceful to what the Rock n' Roll forefathers gave them. I am proud to say that I am a fan of the "good ol' days" when rockers actually "rocking" today with lines like "I dont want to be an american idiot" it is like a kick in the face, I mean no offense to someone who likes that album. I learned a few days ago that you need to respect ALL genres, I turned to this kid (we were riding in a bus, and he literally raped the english language until i told him to speak it right, he was playing a rap song for his ringtone) I said "Rap Sucks," he just turned right around and says "What do you like? Rock?"
"yeah"
"well I can say the same thing to you"


I dont think Rap and hiphop is all bad, like I recently heard a Eminem song that was really good, he was talking about how his daughter is always wanting to spend time with her but he has to lie to go rap and make a living, in the end he loses the love of his daughter because he lied. I thought that was a pretty ok rap song.


Then I cant put down ALL country either, I am an avid listener of country, but I dont like it enough to buy CDs, my mom listens to it so I have too. Angry American by Toby Kieth, that song is just brilliant, I could make a list that is huge of all the good songs Ive heard from coutry, rap, hiphop, rock.



anyways, im done ranting, but the point is, it isnt all that bad. And no a genre can never "die" it may go underground but wont die.

In my opinion, I think the dance hip-hop is cool. Wish I could. But the music hip-hop, I really don't like. Trully, hip-hop is going to die. I think it's just stupid, and most of the subjects of the songs are all about the same. How unoriginal. That's my opinion.

From my opinion, i just hate it when rappers like 50 cent{no offence 50`fans} use rap as a way of talking about sex-drugs-girls. i mean, really, those kind of songs really have no point from my opinion. T___T;;
