Eminem Wins at American Music Awards

[AspirinE]

^wtf would any nominee want to go to an award show where u can get nominated 4 best hip hop act on the basis of a greatest hits album and 3 new songs, one of which is the lamest track ever published...

Lol curious, even i have given up trying to explain to some people how stupid these awards actually are..

not to mention that these awards never meant anything in the first place.

lol i'm not trying to explain anything, i'm just in one of my moods today

besides i do think the awards matter to Em, he has a trophy case, remember? but if Em's the best hip hop act of 2006 then the rap scene has a major problem but the ppl who vote at the AMA's have prolly never listened to another rapper besides Em in their entire lives so...

I cant stand the fact that people ignore the fact that hip hop is getting worse. Ignorance in pure form. If people really want "club songs" make urself a fucking new genre and leave that magnificent thing called hip hop alone.


Hip hop = Dj'ing, breakdancing, rapping, graffiti ...

none of these even relate to modern day hip hop no more...

i don't think the problem is that ppl ignore that the concept of hip hop is getting "diluted" but that ppl don't know what hip hop was in the first place - and that's pure ignorance

n it's just sad that the only person ppl seem to associate with rap/hip hop is Em...

i for one must admit, im oh so very slightly am a person who releasted to hip hop with Em, but i wish that wasnt the case.

could anyone suggest some hip hop artists and what not to listen to?

so you want some hip hop huh? Well i got you man. Lets start off main stream. We got Nas, whos way up there. Also big pun is a fucking beast lyrically. Stay away from his main stream though. Mos def is by far one of my all time favorites. Check out his album called "black on both sides"...matter of fact, go buy it right now! haha...Black star! black star is a group with both mos def and another true hiphop model, talib kweli. I think that is the best album ive ever heard for hiphop standards. Youll find NO comercial hype. The Roots, a hip hop band who actually uses instruments, are excellent and their "things fall apart" album is awesome. Check out the track with erykah badu entitled "you got me". Immortal technique is a raw, political, aggressive artist and pretty much one of the realist out there. Unsigned yet he sells and speaks the truth. On his album the revolutionary II, He speaks of a woman he once knew, that shit will bring a tear. You say youve never really heard hip hop so i wont introduce to southern hip hop because itll probally have subject matter you wont understand. Try to listen to mixtapes for they usually stay away from commercial hype. Papoose is a new one out there and is definately someone to look out for. Lupe Fiasco is an amazing emcee from chicago who recently released an album "food and liquor". Great album. I dont know if youve heard eminems cd "infinite" but if you havent, cop that because, in my opinion, one of his best. Jin is pretty good lately. Thats all i can think of at the top of my head. That will get you aquainted with culture hiphop pretty well.

Im starting to like u as a memeber (no homo) ... lol

Id definately check out the ones panther listed.

and shads03, if ur a begginer, U MUST listen to Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap and Rakim.

3 of the definate top ten lyricists to ever bless the mic, but many people who grew up 2 generations after them never got introduced to them simply coz the mainstream industry on focuses on whats "hot" now. In reality music is eternal, a classic album doesnt become less of a classic with time.

Of course he won...Would you expect that shit Chamilionare win? ..Jesus...I expected this:).....Em's the greatest....
