Vanilla Ice was hip hop.
It's just not something we like to talk about  Unless it's to do with Suge Knight dangling him from a balcony by his ankles.

i like UK hiphop, make a point of the UK. okay there is some good foreign hip hop but most of the american stuff is NOT, i repeat NOT hiphop. its just people rambling about how many times theyve been shot, how they grew up in the 'hood', how they were poor but now theyre rich and how people hate them but they dont care. like 50 cent. and all the otehrs that you might find on mtv and such. its ISNT hip hop. its trash. check out foreign beggars. theyre my fave hiphop artists atm. sick as ****.

Totally agree, all mainstream and popular US Hip Hop I can't stand, because they chat bollocks, and the beats are usually shit and unthoughtful too.
Braintax is a true legend for UK Hip Hop, I do like many other UK Hip Hop artists such as Jehst, Foreign Beggars, Asaviour .etc. They all speak sense, great music, though production isn't very good as most can't afford it.

I saw people mention NWA who are good :) but i think you guys should check out some of tupacs stuff.. he was a legend, didn't rap about killing people, hoes, money, etc.. he just rapped about how it was :)
and i don't mean "changes" or "thugs mansion" try some more deeper tunes by him, not just the stuff you hear on mtv :p
tupac r.i.p. :p

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)
Big L was a mediocre rapper at best, his death just propelled him to martyrdom. He realised one album before his death which was slated and struggled to go Silver, then he dies and everyone goes on about how he was one of the best.
Tupac was just anti-establishment and like a fair few rappers always blaming white people for suppression and how poverty and stuff causes them to do the things they did. The rest was just the regular booty shakin' "I've got more money and women than you" stuff. Ice Cube's earlier stuff was alot better by miles, try out AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and Death Certificate. 2 off the best albums of all time along with Nas - Illmatic. For funkier stuff try out GangStarr's early stuff like Step In The Arena. Really funky and just fantastic sound they had going.

J5 were good, not a fan of any of there new stuff.
Gang Starr songs, definately worth a listen of their 'Jazzmatazz' genre that they pioneered:

Rap/Hip Hop was good when rhymes meant shit and not showmanship and when people battled with words not with ludicrously idle threats.

Okay, bullish aside, I like WuTang, NY I know, but who can battle Rza/Gza Listen to two tracks, if you don't have the respect for these lyrics then I don't know, emphasis is "9 Milla Bros." (Gza on Ghostface's Album) and "Duck Season" (Rza on Wu Tang Forever), who the f can battle those rhymes, I know crunk and shit and maybe I'm out of style but I listen to the originals... I'm just evil,,, for listening to any rap but some lyrics do inspire sometimes... I'm like Hip Hop from 1990 but I know electronica... If the sample is dope I'll buy the DnB version...

There was an era when hip hop was worth listening to. Now all you hear is garbage. Anything after 98' is awful. I know have hatred towards it, it's really bad. lol
