most shit pre 96 tbh is good. Not sayin' there hasn't been good stuff out since then.. mf doom, madlib, talib kweli, common, lupe, sage francis... to name a few.
alot of kack goin around these days too though, lil wayne, lil weezy, souljah boy and all those others is whats wrong with rap music these days, coming up with some retarded gimic and exploiting it to the last
Fair enough they make music they justify as being fun and admit they're not the most socially conscious records but don't go around calling yourself a rapper if you don't make rap music MOST of the time ;/

No one has said Dead Prez as a good artist, they are the shit, and send a message. As are many other indepentent artists and hiphop/rappers. Subnoize Records, now thats an indie label, and they have artists that spread the word.
Many times I can hear better rap off the local bands on the new guerilla style HD-AM and HD FM stations where i live.
most music that comes from a major label is assembly line music, especially modern rap and hiphop, they just add a decent voice, give them a book of lyrics written for them, then they add a very short loop of the same repeating 8 notes,( like that douchebag singing about "supersoaking whoes" whatever the hell that means.) Then they run it through a mixer, then a computer, then mix it some more to make the worst piece of shit smell like roses. To put it for an example, my friend did a whole record himself, all it took was a catalogue, a computer and a little audi software knowledge.
I went to a single rap/hiphop concert, and when the main act came on, i couldnt believe how terrible he sounded, the worst part is, watching more of that same artists concert videos on youtube yielded the same results.
Why do you think that every year or two you'll see a new concert tour dvd from the likes of ACDC or Def Leppard, or an indie band like KMK and for the life of me, you just never see hip/hop or rapper concert tour dvds.
To do with many artist whether rock country or hiphop etc,
