    Those Cypress Hill sound-a-likes are no match for the greatest rapper of all time...

    Funny you should say that, 'cause B-Real was the one who discovered them and signed them to his label back in the day. They worked together and all sorts, in fact the Ice Cube wannabe has produced for Cypress Hill! That beat was a DJ Lethal beat, though. And I don't care how dire the two dudes are, the beat rocks.

    Ludacris wasn't all that bad IMO, I forgot Lupe being out I like Superstar, but i haven't heard of anymore singles from him. I was going to mention Beastie Boys, but they don't even seem like Hip Hop and that mess is corny anyway with white rappers aside Eminem is good, but I found that his first two singles that came out were a bit cheesy. I wonder why there hasn't been a white girl rapper yet.

    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Ludacris was bad, but redeemed himself a bit when he teamed up with Mary J. B. His songs are usually really one-dimensional. All about Cadillac grills and telling bitches to move on highways. His videos are funny though. Anywayz, I see Hip Hop as more of a culture than a music genre. Rap itself is a genre, but I don't think Hip Hop is a genre although it includes Rap music.

    Grossly ignorant statement #2. Not doing too badly so far, though. Usually on at least 5 by now!

    Ears that hear what's forced into them by the mainstream and assume everything in a genre is dire.

    Yeah because not all artists sound the same you must only be listening to one type of artist.

    If you have to dig around to find the good stuff, there's something very wrong.

    I know you're not that stupid, so you've gotta just be trolling now.

    This reminds of this one time.

    Atleast Ashley acknowledges the fact that there are good rappers and doesn't inaccurately generalize.

    Everyone knows that all Hip Hop is about bitches and hos without any exceptions.

    Just like all homosexuals are flaming fairy queens like Graham Norton.

    (Yes I'm aware you probably don't know who he is but I don't know any canadian flamboyant homosexual men so it's going to have to do.)
