Anyone actually listen to lyrics these days?

[BreakMyWallet]

I can't even tell you how many debates i got in to on e46f about real hip hop and people tell me fucking 50 cent and eminem.

does anyone here still listen to good music? obviously my music isnt good to everyone but I like hearing other peoples opinions on good hip hop music (i listen to literally everything, but this thread is focused on hip hop.)

there are a lot of good hip hop underground, that actually has meaning and doesnt talk about fucking killing people and toot it and boot it type bullshit.

what about everyone else? post up some shit or videos on what you think hip hop is.

Stopped listening to rap years ago as it got more and more shitty haha. Some stuff I liked then and a few newer ones I like:

Nas (The Lost Tapes and back, his newer stuff's been very weak imo)
Mos Def
Black Star
Talib Kweli
Eric B and Rakim
2Pac
Biggie
Lupe Fiasco
Older Kanye
Older Eminem

[Average_Jerk]

i dont listen to hiphop, but every time i get a new cd listen to it and read the lyrics. I like to know what the songs are about.

[Kielan]

The Roots
Prop Dylan
Cunninlyguists
DL Incognito

Just to add a few more.

[Tuck&Poke]

haha, man i can remember when you couldn't even google kid cudi.

i had a hell of a time trying to find his shit to download.

[RedE46Bimmer]

Nas (The Lost Tapes and back, his newer stuff's been very weak imo)
Mos Def
Black Star
Talib Kweli
Eric B and Rakim
2Pac
Biggie
Lupe Fiasco
Older Kanye
Older Eminem

Mos Def is the shit and I really like Talib Kweli too

And as far as Eminem goes, he's one of the few newer guys I can actually listen to. I like Despicable pretty good, He flows over Beamer Benz or Bently's beat really well IMO.
