I don't know, sometimes i get tired of the same crap about murder, drugs, sex....blah blah....

sometimes i love it, most of the times i do, but i go through stages as i'm getting older where i get tired of it....

sometimes i want a positive message, because i'm a positive person......other times i don't care...

Not reallly. Because lately nothing has been out to listen to. It can get redundant. So you have to balance it out a little.

But I don't listen to rap as much as I used to. And I don't check for new music too much or visit hip hop sites as often.

well i wouldn't say that i get tired of it in GENERAL but i need my conscious fix after a lengthy duration of Street rap so it goes both ways. gotta keep it balanced. if i am listening to only what would be considered "conscious hip hop" then i crave the feeling of a good old screwface.

I ain't as deep into music as I used to be, so it don't bother me. Rap is still the only **** i listen to, but I mostly play my old school ****. I like the **** from my younger days more than what's out now.

who doesnt?

Street rap from the south... makes me want to bang my head against the wall.

Ive been bored of all that street and bragging bull**** for a while. It probably explains why the two guys I listen to most are Lupe and Common.

as soon as i play out a particular style of rap, i listen to another style..sometimes im all over the place, i can be listening to common and then put on mobb deep.

It's a stale gimmick

The only way I want to listen to it now is if the rapper has legit talent, and has something else to say as well...

...I can't think of a single new rapper (last five years or so) that falls into that category either...

I only listen to Lupe Fiasco, Eminem , and Joe Budden.
Those are the only rappers I can think of that aren't commercials and gimmicks
the only sounds i like in hip hop

I think you should listen to what you like to listen to.

I have a broad range of variety in my musical taste. I can listen to a Mos Def or Common record and then turn around and listen to Jeezy or TI. People will always have something to say about a certain branch of music and everyone's entitled to their own opinion...but I myself like some ignorant **** from time to time.

What's different between what Mobb Deep talked about on the Infamous Album from what say Jeezy or anyone else spits when dealing with negativity? I think most people just disguise the "Street Rap" brand with them actually not liking a particular style of Hip Hop more than trying to be "Conscious".

As Conscious as Common is, he still likes *****es too.

very well put.

Absolutely. I only bump some of that angry streetrap when I'm at the gym. Otherwise I listen to some of the deep/chilled rap or R&B. too much garbage comes out these days it's hard to keep up.

Most of music today sucks, not just rap but the whole music industry.

rock & roll,blues,grassroots & metal never die! Hiphop is like rave only people who listen to it are just trying to fit in & be a part of the flavors of the month.hiphops like disco! It's gangster/criminal music that sends the wrong message to kids.I remember reading a story about ozzy giving a free concert & parents from the ghetto & in the community were complaining it would cause a riot! LOL! The promoters laughed it off & so did the particular city council stating"the long hairs with give the devil horns fingers & bang their heads & then they all go home to their normal lives but you have a free 50cent concert & you will have a full scale riot of coked out thugs & criminals looking to start a fight & someone will get killed!"hiphop is a fad & will be gone just like disco...it will always have fans but it will fade away!

im the same way... i hate on alot of rappers for saying the same **** about the streets over and over and over but at the same time thats what got me listening to them in the 1st place.

hip hop has proven itself to be far from a fad.

LMAO. and metal sends a good message? Ozzy sends a good message? didnt he influence someone to commit suicide once? and some rock fans ruined woodstock 1999 with riots, they arn't clean either.
