LOCC – Tha Most Gangsta

♠HNIC asked:


Think of the foundations of hip hop, New York comes to mind. the “mecca” so to speak of hip hop, alot of the greatest rappers of all time (male and female) hail from New York and then of course the West Coast who some would say gave birth to gangsta rap. and right now the South is enjoying their time on top. the one city I think everyone is sleeping on is Chicago. They have never gotten their just due as a powerhouse in hip hop. Common in my opinion is easily in the top 10 greatest rappers of all time but he is constantly slept on. You look at New York in their prime, The West Coast in their prime, and even the South now in their prime they all have/had alot of depth (in terms of artists), thats one thing I think the Chi lacks, alot of depth. What I would I call the big 3 in chicago common, kanye west, lupe fiasco all drop their albums within the next 4 months, and then of course the speculation of kanye, lupe, and pharell formin a group makes me ask: is Chicago poised to take over?
also alot of credit due to d.o.d., da brat, rhymefest, twista, and shawnna

sticky asked:


Does anybody know of songs that you can do hip hop dance to? I’m talking about uptempo songs rather then ballads or gangsta rap, the sort you see in dancing movies. And preferably modern ones, rather then old school. Thanks!

I just read the question about what do you liek better, Hip hop in the 80s, 90s, or now and I laughed my a*s off when people said that rappers were not rapping about b*tches, rims, violence, and money back then.

The 90s started off when true Hip Hop Groups such as Pete Rock and CL Smooth, EPMD(late 80s), Rakim(late 80s), Big Daddy Kane, right???

It evolved into the heavily weed influenced, gang bangin music of the West Coast… Remember when the West had it on lock for like 3 years and they were talking about Lowriders, Money, B*tches, Jewelry, and Violence, Correct???

Then Biggie, Nas, Wu-Tang, and Redman dropped good music and showed an alternative to the commercial gangsta of the West Coast back then.

Then, there was the Puffy/Cash Money Era… Money, B*tches, Rims, Cars, Chains… The same thing we criticized Rap of today for happened in what is described as the greatest decade of Rap…

Who agrees?
What I was saying is that Hip Hop always has artists who speak about b*tches, rims, money and success…

Nowadays you still have alternative artists who make good music and real music like Pharoahe Monch, Little Brother, Nas, Common, Wu Tang, Dead Prez, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Brother Ali, Hi Tek, Joe Buddens, Outkast, and so many more…

People tend to focus on the Lil Boosies, Lil Waynes and compare them to the artists of the last decade, but with record sales down and no one buying albums, rappers today are making sh*t that appeals to the close minded masses as opposed to the minority who want that real sh*t
