Hip-hop in need of a revolution

the problem with claiming the "25 best albums" of all time already is that the hip hop that we all aknowledge and talk about has only been around for say 18-20 years...some kids arent even that old and are listening to teh shit now and think its dope!! and in that time, hip hop has changes so much and become disposable that its all fashion, even the music...fashion changes and now rap music does too...none of it means shit anymore, its not time less...so what u have is a bunch of people who grew up listening to nwa in 1988, or public enemy in 1992 or tupac in 1996 and wanting that now...its like growing up the beatles or led zeppelin and wanting that now.
The problem with that statement is that you assume just because he listens to those East Coast artists that you mentioned that he fails to comprehend anything that isn't East Coast. I listen to E-40 and San Quinn, does that mean I can't pick up on what Mobb Deep is talkin about? No. You just got mad because he didn't have anything positive to say about E-40...
I agree with 98% of what Robert Alvis is saying. I actually like Kanye West as a rapper though because he has my kind of sense of humor and you can tell he's doing him - but that's me. The rest of what dude said was on point especially about the Hyphy "Movement". Calling Hyphy a movement degrades all actual movements that have taken place up to this point. Most of you are too young to know about that tho ..
lol @ the cat that tried to jump down nofx's throat thinking that he was the one that wrote that article. Mufuckas is sooooooooooo sensitive about some shit that they have no say so in :cheeky:
And whoever said that Jay-Z The Blueprint sucks, doesn't know Hip Hop.

that shit gets me heated.. ill listen to the radio and both stations playing the same gay ass song.. lately one song that makes me feel like going deaf is that song with paul wall/slim thug n beyonce.. as fine as she can be.. smack that bitch and smack them dudes for talking about their orals..94.9 n 106 are some fuckin dead beat stations that play the same fuckin joint every 10 minutes.. time to save up for xm/sirius..
well they arent on MY top 25 of all time, but i see the same shit pop up all the time on OTHER people's lists, so I was just saying they seem to be the accepted choices of "music critic" people or magazine people or east coast people or i dont know what the fuck. but they arent on my top 25 for sure. I think my entire top 25 wouldnt leave california at all.
