I don't know about you guys but every time i put on BET or MTV i see some whackass video where these no talented rappers spit the stupidest shit known to the human race i mean it's the same shit over and over and just when i think it can't get any worse it actually fuckin does. I mean i listen to old school rap and i think damn back than they had so many niceass rappers who spit incredible shit but now its just bullshit i always have to see some new dance movement or the same guy rapping about the same shit he rap about in his last song to me rap is mostly dead with the exception of a few artist but still that list of few rappers who can rap are out numbered by those who cannot. I don't how you guys feel about this but to me the last 5yrs of rap has been nothing but sad.

Times change. Good music is still being put out, it's just not publicized or promoted. If you wanna listen to good music, it's there.

Yea but it's nothing like before man.

Fuck a golden age, shits a made up thing. There has always been good and bad music, you just have to listen to the right shit.

^^ word man i hear ya

like there's always been whack hip hop
listen to EPMD - crossover
there was whack rap back then too man
they was talking about it, it'll give you some insight

I wish I was old enough in the 90's to have been able to appreciate what it was like to see classic after classic being dropped. History repeats itself, so I'm hoping there will be another time like that for hip hop.

Nah i know there was always good & bad music i just feel that like now there is more bad music than there is good music.

not unless underground goes mainstream

It will, but it won't be like the hip hop from the 90s. It'll be different, and we may not enjoy it when that time comes around.

What he siad

You cant live in the past, just appreciate that your here for the future.

Simple answer, no.

lol..maybe a silver age? no golden

nope, not like that, too many white folks in charge, money to be made, dollars, ching ching, throw some platinum links on a kid and throw him out infront of a bently, hey you got yourself a star, or a one hit wonder, hey white folks have to be good at something, lol. I would do it if i could, sad but true, before some people get but hurt, im white. lol

Too many whites running labels and too many blacks sucking their dicks for a paycheck.

^Dayum. Theres always good music and bad music but the golden age is when the good music sold. Now people are buying the bad music and it's making money in more ways than it was back then. It all depends on us, the listeners.

we are in a golden age ... the golden age of shite ...

but theres always good music if you look for it and not let people tell you what to like ...

Words of wisdom.

not everybody thinks the golden age is the sames. now years from now this time where in right now will probally seem good to ppl. Nas, The Roots, Lupe, Pharoahe Monch, Kweli, Freeway, Wu, Ghostface, Jay, ye, Chamillionaire, Common, the Clipse, Snoop Dogg, Az, T.I. (yayaya he doesnt belong but i like him...king was a great album)

and the future holds cats like Crooked I, Lil Eazy, ya Boy, Bishop Lamont, Papoose, Uncle Murda, Saigon (well he "retired"), Tru Life & Joell Ortiz

I came to this site searching for good music, and I am glad I got alot of it here. Like someone here already said, there is always good music if you're willing to search for it.

No scottish, you got it wrong, to many whites sucking blacks dick, that have no understanding of what it is to be black.

I think that as long as the culture is still around, the grafitti, music, style, then hip hop will continue to live on. In my opinion, we're living in the golden age of Hip hop.

Wack. It's not a matter of being white or black. The only color that matters is green.

No scottish, you got it wrong, to many whites sucking blacks dick, that have no understanding of what it is to be black.

Are you fuckin idiotic? White A&Rs and white record execs rule the major labels with an iron fist, and the black rappers on the label suck their dicks and compromise their music for a paycheck. That's what I was refering to.

I think its the youth, Like you have people that's probaly in there mid 20s talking about how Hip Hop was great in the 90s and now in day its just bullshit, I say its the fans who affected the way Hip Hop is today, like artist like Lil Wayne everyone hops on his dick and says he's the best rapper alive, I bet u if Lil Wayne rapped about Taking a Shit everyone will listen to it just because its Wayne, I know for a fact that people that listens to music really affected Hip Hop, because they will accept anything new, but The Shit you see on T.V is Commercial Music, the good music isn't televised at all you have to ask around for it.

You're a crack addict faggot.

to me if thats what the future holds or if thats what the game will have to relly on for the next ten years, im not excited at all, a hole group of second teir mc's for the most part, i know pap has been around since the verse he did on g rap's roots of evil album that was like 97 98 i think, whats taken him so long? and saigon has been so overhyped for so long i could give a shit if he ever drops, and tru life, well no need to even start on him, lol, and as for the rest remind me of a bunch of memphis bleeks and joe buddens, not even a fabulous in that group, but thats just me, peace

and the future holds cats like Crooked I, Lil Eazy, ya Boy, Bishop Lamont, Papoose, Uncle Murda, Saigon (well he "retired"), Tru Life & Joell Ortiz

That ^ is most definitely not the future. And I could give a shit less for any of them except MAYBE Saigon. And that's a long shot.

Don't like what have on the MTV?
go and listen the underground mc's.

Is English your second language because those posts make no sense.

When you failed to define what you meant by "Golden Age," you screwed this thread right up cause people just don't understand how good rap was in the early 90's.

If you're asking if we will ever have another NWA/Tupac/Ice Cube/Snoop/Dre/Eazy-E/Etc., there will never be another set of icons like those people, because in an essence people like that created gangsta rap and blew it up into the Golden Age.

But at the same time, there are and will always be new extremely talented underground artists.. But as far as being another Golden Age of rap blowing up again, nah there's no way. Not with MTV still around and airing "The Hills."
