Is anyone else here as narrow minded (musically) as I am?

I *thought* I was somewhat familiar with hip hop, since I had a roommate who was really into hip hop for a few years. But, come to think of it, he only listened to the popular stuff.
hip hop has a huge disparity in quality between the popular stuff, which is just horrible beyond description and the underground/old school stuff which is great
popular rap is so unbelievably awful
popular rap is so unbelievably awful
The thing is, everyone who I know who is into rap (and that's A LOT of people) only listens to the popular stuff. It appears to me that people who listen to underground rap are just as rare as people who listen to real metal.

Joy Division anyone?
love them. Unknown Pleasures is a great album. got laid because of it.
there's plenty of "real" hip hop fans, they are generally hippy looking white kids (or white kids like mort divine). Teh black people are more content with hearing the same old bullshit about bitches and hoes.

yeah. I know a few non-wigger rap fans in my school that listen to underground shit.
You know what is a great rap group, one of my only favorites? Bone Thugs N' Harmony and all of its subsidiaries. Budsmokers Only is great.

you racist-ass nerd faggot, backpacker hop is fucking shitty as hell and hip hop like nas, mobb deep, wu tang, clipse, jay-z, biggie, gang starr, a tribe called quest, etc is a million times more meaningful and talented than 99% of "underground" shit. backpacker, as you've so eloquently demonstrated, is for racist white people who want to listen to hiphop but are too scared of working class black people to appreciate the artistry in the fucking real innovators of the genre, so they have to listen to weak-ass white rappers with wack ass flows and even wacker space bullshit lyrics.
in the words of prodigy.. "To all them rap ass niggas wit ya half assed rhymes talkin bout how much you get high, how much weed you smoke and that crazy space shit that don't even make no sense: don't ever speak to me when you see me, knowaimsaying? Word. Imma have to get on some ol' high school shit, start punchin niggas in they face just for livin."
you are trying to teach me about hip hop, a genre that i have listened to (admittingly on and off) since I was 7? are you fucking kidding me?
and then you have the audacity to call me a racist?nice job mentioning some of my favorite rappers there nas, tupac, gangstarr, wu tang etc...
I wasn't talking about space rap. I was talking about shit like blackalicious, jedi mind tricks, kool keith, army of the pharaohs, wu tang clan (though they are very popular), big daddy kane, aceyalone, etc... Underground hip hop is NOT "space" rap, I have no idea who told you this. That's just a small part of the genre.
you sound like one of those morons who thinks all underground metal is satanic bullshit. Get a fucking clue

Backpacker hip hop is alright, Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, Sage Francis, Soul Position, (I suppose) k-os, Eyedea And Abilities etc.
I specifically love Atmosphere, probably my favorite rap group in general. However - I do appreciate all other forms of rap, aside from shit like 50 Cent.

he doesn't even know what the fuck he's arguing about. I was talking about old school/underground hip hop vs modern popular garbage (shit that you hear in clubs), I don't mind space rap although I only listen to it on occasion (canibus is my favorite), but to say all of underground hip hop is like that is nonsense.

You'd probably really like Atmosphere's Overcast. Really kind of a more "raw" sound, a more "rap battle atmosphere" compared to the cleaner sounding stuff from God Loves Ugly and onwards.
I really don't understand why modern popular hip hop is still called hip hop, it's nothing more than pop music performed with the very basic elements of hip hop.
to me it's hip pop vs hip hop (underground, old school, space rap, etc...)

backpacker hip hop needs to die, any musical genre where a fucking hack like mr. lif can get signed to its biggest label is a sham

Because it is white-boy emo-kid centric, I understand the hate, but when there are people as great as Slug and k-os I can't help but like it
