Good hip hop now a days.... hmmmm... thats hard to find mang.  Old school is where its at. 

Jaime has a point though, in that not all old school were classics or jems, but its a lot better than what we have now.  I'd rather take old school over anything any of these new so called hip hop artists have to offer.  They just dont have the same feel or soul or heart for the hip hop game... its all about money now a days.  Back in the day hip hop was sacred and expressed a message, told a story and spoke to your life... but now its just about ****es and hoes and money and grills.

BLEH!

Cuz you still with the Nas Intro ...lololol. Its been a long time that i've listened to any new artists from the Hip Hop world. I had the opportunity to hear Lupe Fiasco. I must admit, I like. He has a dope. I heard his single "Kick, push and Coast" It doesn't sound like the other junk thats out there right now. I'm also anticiapting Nas' "Hip hop is Dead" album. Can't wait.

Lupe Fiasco is getting crazy publicity and rapid recognition......his stuff is ok....nothing WOW....but he is refreshing to the scene.....nothing's happening in the hip hop scene right now....so it's the perfect time to jump in and take over.....exactly what Lupe is doing......plus he doesn't have "an image".....he's as simple as they come....

thanx i got all the soundbombing albums....il check out that site

What do you think of them? (Soundbombing)

In my opinion, one of the fewcrwes that has kept the true spirit of hip-hop is the Rawkus crew.

Check Rawkus Records' website to see some of their artists. That's where artists like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Company Flow, DJ Hi Tek, DJ Babu, Dilated Peoples, etc... started, and some of them are still there.

If you're getting music by this crew, I suggest getting any of the Soundbombing volumes.
