when i was younger i used to like it, but latley it has become more about showing fancy cars and toons of jewelry on the videos....to "polished"

found a "nice" tune tho even if the lyrics are not the best

You are pretty "fly" for a white guy.;)

I've never heard Norwegian hip-hop. The mere thought of it brings a smile. I think it'd be hilarious and quite refreshing. It certainly has to be hard to rap in a language that has three times as many syllables and is generally more nasal than urban thug banter uses.

Jay Z is Nordic, right?

Ahhh the old days are long gone. Hip Hop use to be full of story tellers and rappers with a message to get across. Now we have those wanna be studio thugs who portray life as one huge club filled with fancy cars and big booty hoes. Hip Hop has gone into the commercial industry. It use to be an art like spoken word. Now most of it is full of nonsense.

You have to go below the semi-mainstream.  Seriously check out some Mos Def, but Eyedea, Atmosphere, Aesop Rock are all really good.

I see Mos Def in movies, But I saw Talib Kweli, Gangstarr and Common at Metropol in Pittsburgh.

Mosdef is very talented, but Kweli is better IMO.

Aesop Rock, EL-P, Cannibal Ox are very underground.

I'm listening to the Best of Big L right now and DITC Crew.

Damn Shame he's dead, Big L was probably the most talented rapper ever.

I like all types of Music, But I can only listen to certain types of Rap.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
