Joined the forum looking for a track, while I'm here I thought see if there's any hip hop heads on here?
I know a few people who don't know much about it have a pre-conceived misconception of hip hop.

Welcome to the site.
Been a big Hip hop fan for many years.
Agred what you say about misconceptions - pretty much applies to any kind of music these days though.

Yeah I thought happy hardcore was a bunch of semi-homo pill heads.
Wait..... :D Joking ;)
Yeah, people think if you like hip hop you're automatically into 50 Cent, bling bling, top of the pops ish.

I love hip hop
But i hate that 50 pence, imo the best new artist around is The Game!!
Have you heard the mans mix tapes? He just rips the piss right out of 50 and the rest of G-Unit
Also Dr Dre's new album should be out very soon "Detox" this has been put back and put back but it will hit the shops very soon!!!
And you all know when this hits this will be triple platinum in the first month, easy!!!

Yeah I don't mind bits and pieces I guess but I don't have the time to fish through the crap. Last albums I bought were the Common one and a J5 one (a wee while ago now) and they were good. Hate 50 cent etc etc etc

J5 - Power In Numbers? That album is a classic, love it. Wasn't impressed with Commons - Be. Was over hyped.
Definatley looking forward to Detox, only been waiting 7 years though! Game's cool, saw him live, was good night.
Anyone into UK Hip Hop?

It was quality control (like I say long time ago!) The common one was like water for chocolate or something like that. J5 is quality all the way through and yeah I didn't think all of Commons album was fantastic but there were some great stand out tracks on it for me.
Will check out the J5 album you mentioned :)

I've listened to Hip Hop since I heard Still Dre, but have moved on to more varied stuff.
For instance, right now I'm listening to:
De La Soul - 3 Feet & Rising
Busta Rhymes - The Big Bang
Dead Prez - Let's Get Free

i dont mind some hip hop, but theres so much of the shit on the radio no matter where i go im subjected to it and country/rock. so i find it hard to listen to them - makes me feel like a drone.

I don't really listen to much after '96, I miss the good hip hop that told stories...not the stories about bitches and hoes and look at my bling, big ups to st. louis I look so cool rapping in the street talking on my cell phone followed by the whirl pool scene with big booty bitches in bikinis...yeah =P

mainstream sucks more than anything. Hip hop was all i listened to for a good 4 years, then i eventually got into happy hardcore.
I can still listen to it here and there but it's changed alot it seems

Aye, you gotta look through the shite to find the good stuff. And I agree with the guy who said they dont like it due to the bollocks they're subjected to on the radio. 90% of the hip hop that's on commercial radio is wank.
For the person asking about UK Hip Hop artists to check:
Jehst
Klashnekoff
Chester P
Lowkey
Micall Parknsun
Taskforce
Skinnyman
Doc Brown
Asaviour
Yeah hip hop can be deep, it can also be clever. Eg, check this lyric from the late Big L:
I'm far from broke I got enough bread
And mad hoes, ask Beavis I get nothing but head (Butthead)
Yeah some rap about guns and shit, and this gets boring and is generally wack but you gotta love the old skool gangsta rap, like NWA as someone mentioned. That's just keeping it real :D
