I was watching Eminem’s old freestyle rap battles, and he sucked big time! He’s a good rapper, but he’s not the best. When I watched 8 Mile, I thought Eminem was a beast at freestyle rapping, but his old rap battles on YouTube sucks.

Before I get flamed, just realize that I don’t consider modern day lil wayne, tyga, and drake "dirty south"
But I’m talking about luda, Scarface, and outkast. Sure, luda’s gone commercial now, but what about word of mouf back in 01? And Atliens from Outkast?
Even crunk hip hop was pretty fun to listen to just for the hell of it. Lots of people hate Lil Jon because he was (and still is) terrible at rapping. But he was never really a rapper; he was just supposed to hype the crowd up, and he did a pretty good job at it too. Sure his songs with the eastside boyz back in the day had little lyrical content, but they were energetic. Today’s songs don’t even do THAT.
So, what do you think? I personally don’t think they killed hip hop, because as of lately the east and west haven’t been putting out much good either (from the mainstream, that is)
And, just for the record, I do listen to artists like Common, Wu Tang, Nas, Biggie, Big L, NWA, etc.

I mean his myspace and facebook page both say he is a rapper and when I go to some of his youtube videos they are classified as Rap music but how is he a rapper? He does not rap. Or so I never thought. So can someone explain to me how Pitbull is considered a rapper?

I know Hospin, Big Lou, B.O.B, Tech N9ne. Who know other underground rapper are good to listen also like a storytelling and poetry.
I don’t listen to mainstream music now this day only underground rappers.
